Trick or Treat Studios Unleashes New Freddy Krueger Masks & Gloves Based on Original and Sequels!
Trick or Treat Studios is going Nightmare on Elm Street crazy this Halloween, unleashing several new Freddy Krueger masks and replica gloves that are now up for pre-order!
Deluxe masks based on Freddy’s appearances in the original film as well as Freddy’s Revenge and Dream Master are up for grabs, either with fedoras ($89.99) or without ($59.99).
The officially licensed masks are based on hundreds of screen and behind the scenes photographs.
The gloves, meanwhile, are based on the original film, Freddy’s Revenge, Dream Warriors and Dream Master, each one selling for $199.99. Sculpted by Anders Eriksen, the high quality replica gloves feature an armature that’s made in copper, while the blades are made in Stainless Steel and the glove itself is made from the highest quality leather.
You can pre-order the masks and the gloves over on ToT’s website today!
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.
