Wanna Win Some Blu-Rays and Other Swag? Join Us This Saturday on Twitch!
Just over a week ago, we announced that we will be launching a Bloody-Disgusting Twitch Channel this coming Saturday, September 17th, from 1pm to 7pm EST. The channel will be hosted by my good pal Bill Frye, who will be playing horror games new and old several days each week.
Here’s the current schedule that we Bill will be following as often as possible (follow him on Twitter for any changes in schedule):
Tuesdays: 8pm to 11pm EST
Thursdays: 8pm to 11pm EST
Fridays: 8pm to Midnight EST
Saturdays: Pre-announced on Bill’s Twitter
Now, as promised in the announcement post, there will be prizes people can win during the live stream as a celebration of the launch of the channel as well as a way to celebrate Bloody-Disgusting’s 15th anniversary. For example, from Scream Factory we have Blu-rays of The Sentinel, Pumpkinhead, Garbage Pail Kids, and Phantom of the Opera (with Robert Englund), as well as several more titles that will be up for grabs. Additionally, we’ll also have one copy of the Gunship picture disc vinyl to give away! That’s not all the prizes we’ve got and we’ll be announcing more in the coming days!
Make sure to follow our Twitch Channel and turn on email notifications so that you always know when Bill goes live! We look forward to hanging out with all of you this weekend!
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.
