‘Dead By Daylight’ Halloween Event on Now!
John mentioned a few weeks back about Behaviour Digital’s Dead By Daylight teasing their Halloween Event. Now, “The Hallowed Blight” as it’s called, is up and running! The event will last until November 2nd, and features a cool story all its own.
Told via the cutscenes below, as well as in journal entries that pop up when the game starts, it seems our killers have had experiments conducted on them, injected with toxins from a plant found in the world of the Entity.
Of course, you probably want to know what goodies there are to get, and what you need to do to get them. You unlock skins by getting what’s called Putrid Serum from those mysterious plants, which are used to fill vials. These vials are then used to spend on new cosmetics introduced in the event.
Killers, on the other hand, will have what are called Cankerous Hooks that they need to place survivors on in order to get their serum. After hooking a survivor one time, even if it’s the survivor’s first time being hooked, you will gain a sixth (1/6) of a full vial.
The outfits will be available in the store forever, but the free currency can only be earned during the event.
There are sixty vials in all to collect: thirty for the killers, and thirty for the survivors. And yes, for those wondering, licensed killers such as Michael Myers (you did see the new film, right?) will have their own special cosmetics.
So, with the event ending next week, you’d better get going!
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.
