“Stranger Things” Gets Mashed With “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and It Rocks!
Just yesterday I wrote how I’m 100% cool with the constant love that “Stranger Things” has been getting since its release. Today, that trend continues as someone has created a new intro for the show, theming it entirely off the way “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” had its intro. The font is perfect, the edits are sharply done, and there’s the classic Nerf Herder theme laid on top. Two fandoms come crashing together in a fantastic way here and I don’t think I could possibly love it any more!
While you’re feeling the Buffy love, why not take this quiz to see which villain from the show you are? Or grab a box of tissues and read these 10 “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” Moments Guaranteed to Make You Cry?
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
