This year’s DangerTerrorHorrorThon begins now with some 1989-related horror goodness, including the Mistress of the Dark ditching her Party Monsters (from the 1989 pinball game) and getting down with the Monster Party!
Yeah, I basically used a pinball game as an excuse to make pixel art of Elvira.
Custom Sprites – Along with a new design for the main Custom Sprites page, the following galleries were updated:
– Atari: Ghosts from Gauntlet
– Movies: Elvira
– “Games (Other)” page: Monster Party’s Bert and Mark, Tom Guycot from Clash at Demonhead
– Namco: a Pumpkinhead drone from Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti
Mini-logos – Elvira added to the Movies section, Monster Party added to the Bandai sections.
GFX Generators – All of those new sprites and mini-logos were added to the generators along with a few Vampire Savior 2 stages for the multi-choice background styles.
The DangerTerrorHorrorThon will continue next Friday with more weirdness from video games (and beyoooooond, ooOOOooo) and conclude with one more update on Halloween, Friday the 31st. Something about that date makes it seem even more suspicious, doesn’t it? Hmmm…
The font to write the DangerTerrorHorrorThon logo comes from Hydro78, one of the most unstoppable graphic design beasts I’ve ever seen and definitely worth a look the next time you want to buy some fonts.
Other people out there doing the spooky thing right about this time:
VGJunk: Great monster game reviews have been added all month, including a fresh look at Sega’s Monster Bash.
ManyNinjas recently clocked in some Boss Rush speedruns for Maxim and Simon in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.
Wizzy dropped one of his patented all-around CPS2-styled BGMs for Darkstalker’s Sasquatch, and it sounds buttwhoopingly beautiful.
edit: the first update went so well that I’ve made a few improvements to Elvira, including new palettes and two more poses. Thanks for the kind words and I’ll be back with more weird stuff!
