Yankee Candle’s 2020 Halloween Collection Launches This Weekend; Asylum-Themed Boney Bunch!
There are many things that signal the beginning of the Halloween season each year, and one of them is undoubtedly the day that Yankee Candle officially unleashes the year’s brand new collection of Halloween candles and Boney Bunch goodies. And while Halloween may be a little different this year, the good news is that Yankee Candle’s tradition will remain.
In stores and online, the Halloween 2020 collection arrives this Saturday, August 29!
This year’s collection will include two brand new candles named Jack-O’Lantern and Mystic Moon, with eleven new Boney Bunch accessories featuring an “Asylum” theme.
If you want to take a sneak peek at the full collection ahead of this weekend’s release, be sure to watch Philly Candle Man‘s overview of the 2020 Halloween catalog in the video below!
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.
