‘Elvira’s 10 Nights of Halloween’ and ‘William Shatner’s Fright Nights’ Coming to Amazon!
Amazon has likely already won over your heart by acquiring the exclusive streaming rights to FOX’s “The Exorcist,” and they’ve also got original horror series “Lore” headed your way later this month. Oh and let’s no forget “Unsolved Mysteries,” which found a home on the site’s streaming service this year.
We love Amazon. And we love them even more today.
Via Coming Soon, we’ve just learned that “Elvira’s 10 Nights of Halloween” and “William Shatner’s Halloween Fright Nights” are both coming to Full Moon’s Amazon streaming channel in time for the big day!
Via the site, “Some years back, Full Moon produced two series starring both of these pop culture icons and now, as they begin their Halloween season roll-out, Full Moon’s international Amazon channels (US, UK and Germany) are releasing these shows every week all month.”
Elvira hosts films such as The Gingerdead Man and Evil Bong during her “10 Nights of Halloween,” while Shatner hosts Castle Freak, Hideous and more.
Both shows begin hitting the streaming channel this week.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
