‘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 saddened to learn that George A. Romero Foundation Founder and President Suzanne Desrocher-Romero has passed away.
GARF shared in a statement on socials, “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Suzanne Desrocher Romero. Suzanne passed away of natural causes on June 24 at her home in Toronto after a prolonged illness.”
The statement continues, “Suzanne was the fierce leader of the George A. Romero Estate and The George A. Romero Foundation. She worked tirelessly to preserve George’s legacy. Her work at the foundation will continue to inspire and live on for generations to come. The family asks for privacy at this time.”
Desrocher-Romero founded GARF in 2018, after her late husband’s passing in 2017, and has been a fierce advocate for his legacy and the arts. It was her mission to “strengthen horror as a serious field of global study,” and she was a tremendous fighter on behalf of Romero’s works and supporting new filmmakers inspired by his legacy.
It was Desrocher-Romero who spearheaded the recovery and restoration of The Amusement Park, and, as the person in charge of the George A. Romero estate, worked closely with author Daniel Kraus on completing unfinished novels like Pay the Piper and The Living Dead. She most recently celebrated the restoration of her favorite of Romero’s zombie films, Day of the Dead, and was hard at work producing the upcoming film Twilight of the Dead.
That passionate advocacy led to Suzanne Desrocher-Romero becoming family to Bloody Disgusting as well.
2023 marked the start of an ongoing partnership between Bloody FM and GARF on The Dead, a scripted audio series spanning multiple seasons that saw Desrocher-Romero working closely with the Bloody FM team and mentoring the series’s contributing writers with GARF. To say her loss will be felt internally is an understatement.
“Anytime George Romero is mentioned is good, because what we are doing is to provide a healthy legacy. We’re uplifting his legacy, we’re supporting the archive, and we’re also supporting the Horror Study Center. So, all of these three things are what the Foundation is striving to do. As far as I’m concerned, the more we say George Romero’s name, the better it is,” Desrocher-Romero recently told BD.
It’s the perfect encapsulation of her unwavering enthusiasm for supporting Romero’s legacy and the horror genre, and just a glimpse at how much she contributed to preserving it. She is, in short, an inspiration.
We send our deepest condolences to Suzanne Desrocher-Romero’s family, friends, and GARF.
