More Horror Icons Done in the Style of ‘Cuphead’
Artist Matthew Hutchinson is back with more horror characters drawn in the style of the award-winning indie platformer Cuphead (which yes, was inspired by cartoons produced by the Fleischer and Walt Disney animation studios in the 1930s). The first time, we got the likes of Jason, Freddy, Leatherface, Pinhead and others. Now Hutchinson brings us the like of Sadako from The Ring (I know one of the commenters on the original story will be pleased), Dracula from Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the Xenomorph, Predator and more. We even get Valak from the upcoming film The Nun!
While not necessarily horror-inspired, Cuphead is harder than hell, and is a damn fine throwback to classic run-and-gun games like Contra and Metal Slug.
Definitely check it out if you have the chance, if not for the challenge, but for the gorgeous art. Meanwhile, also check out Matt’s Instagram page if you’re interested on seeing more of his art.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
