Starbucks is Offering Up a “Bloody” Pennywise-Inspired Frappuccino for the Halloween Season

Sadly, yours likely won’t come with a Pennywise drawing on it.

From what we gather, there’s been an “IT Frappuccino” on Starbucks‘ mysterious “secret menu” ever since the first film came out back in 2017, but the sequel’s release earlier this month has brought the beverage back into the spotlight. Perfectly timed for the Halloween season, the “bloody” frappuccino is even being advertised at select Starbucks locations.

But don’t worry, you can get it at *any* Starbucks location!

Barista @Tinker_Hell, who drew the awesome Pennywise art seen above on a lucky customer’s cup, explains how you should go about ordering the drink at your local Starbucks:

“*PLEASE DO NOT ORDER THIS AS THE IT FRAPPUCCINO, your barista will likely NOT know what that is. Order a Vanilla bean frappuccino with strawberry purée on top!”

The “IT Frappuccino” is a vanilla bean frappuccino with strawberry puree drizzle and a dried strawberry topping. The drizzle looks like blood, and the strawberries on top represent Pennywise’s iconic red balloons. According to our friend @SexyArmpit, it’s “bangin!”.

Float over to your local Starbucks and order one while you can!

Legendary Grimdark ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Artist John Blanche Has Passed Away at 78

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.
