[Video] Someone Added Chucky into ‘GTA V’ and It’s Pretty Amazing
Now that Friday the 13th: The Game is available and the Michael Myers DLC pack was just added to Dead by Daylight, it’s currently a pretty damn good time to be a horror fan with a passion for gaming. And let’s not forget Mortal Kombat X, which has Predator, Jason, Leatherface and other horror icons as playable characters!
Which icon is the next to get his own game? Well, we sure wouldn’t mind a Child’s Play video game, which has to date managed to elude us. Back in 2011, you may remember that a game titled Chucky: Wanna Play? was in the works, but that was cancelled in the wake of the fundraising campaign’s sad failure.
But why wait for something official, right?
Expert modder MKElite has just taken matters into his own hands by bringing Chucky into Grand Theft Auto V! The game may be several years old now but MKElite has breathed horrifying new life into it by modding in Chucky as a playable character this month. Of course, he took him on a killing spree around San Andreas.
And he filmed it for our viewing pleasure. Enjoy.
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.
