Fun Animated Video Highlights the 34-Year Evolution of Freddy Krueger

Published

From creepy to comedic to… downright awful.

For better or worse, our favorite franchise villains evolved a whole lot over the years. Jason Voorhees went from a misshapen boy to a metallic space monster, while Michael Myers went from a normal-sized creep to a bearded hobo in a pro wrestler’s body.

Watching that evolution is always fascinating, and YouTube channel Tell It Animated recently began chronicling the progression of the genre’s most iconic villains with a series of fun animated videos that quickly run through all their different looks. The channel’s latest “Evolution of” video highlights the many iterations of Freddy Krueger!

The videos, written/designed/animated by Aaron Lecours, also serve as quick and to-the-point rundowns of franchise storylines, brushing you up in mere minutes.

Enjoy. And let the channel know which icon you want to see next!

‘Morbid: The Lords of Ire’ Bumped Up to May 17 Release, Adds Xbox One Support [Trailer]

Publisher Merge Games and developer Still Running have announced a release date bump of May 17 for their horrorpunk action-adventure title Morbid: The Lords of Ire. The follow-up to the 2020 Lovecraftian RPG Morbid: The Seven Acolytes was originally set to release on May 23 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Accompanying the release date change is a new trailer, as well as news that Morbid: The Lords of Ire will be getting support for Xbox One, allowing last-gen players to get in on the fun. The game will also see a physical edition heading to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, with pre-orders available now.

Morbid: The Lords of Ire invites players to risk madness venturing through a revolting hell as the Striver of Dibrom. You must fight across tortured landscapes in an all-new 3D perspective in order to defeat the returning five Lords of Ire, slaughtering hideous creatures using a range of vicious weapons, equipment and blessings.

How you approach combat in Morbid: The Lords of Ire can have a dramatic impact on the world around you. The Lords of Ire builds upon the sanity system from Morbid: The Seven Acolytes, whereby succumbing to insanity can grant incredible power, but at great personal risk, and will dynamically change how you perceive the world around you.

The demo for The Lords if Ire is still available on PlayStation and Steam.
