Eleven years ago, Halloween fell on a Friday and I made that the theme of the update. Now I’m bringing that energy back in more than just the sprites in this final HorrorThon 2025 update!

Custom Sprites:
– Friday the 13th : Jason Voorhees (walking) and unnamed running counselor.
– Halloween: Michael Myers/The Shape – 1978 top of the stairs pose
– Splatterhouse: Terror Mask boss (giant mask version)

All new custom sprites were added to the fake screenshot makers/image generators. And now, the DangerTerrorHorrorThon 2025 video!

More TRICK OR BEAT ‘EM UP hype, a video from… Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman?!?

The 2025 DangerTerrorHorrorThon is ON!

part 1: Remains of the Night
Custom Sprites:
– Mega Man : Skullman
– Castlevania: Dhuron
– Splatterhouse: Splatterhouse 2 Zombie

part 2: Creature Features
Custom Sprites:
– Darkstalkers: Demitri (scratch-made idle pose)
– Castlevania: Medusa
– Horror – Critters: The Crites (just the small ones, for now)

Mini-Logos: Man-Bat added to DC Comics, Critters added to Movies.

All new custom sprites and mini-logos were added to the fake screenshot makers/image generators that I used to make the group shot at the top of this post. Dhuron is in the “Castlevania skeletons” character slot.

One more day of horror left!

Arcade Quartermaster has the new shrines up, with one for Smash TV and Sky Destroyer!

The Trick or Beat ‘Em Up project has been on a posting storm this month with gameplay mockups, all-new music, and more on the Instagram account! My favorite video so far shows a big part of why the game has its name.

The 2025 DangerTerrorHorrorThon is ON!

part 1
– Horror – The Craft: completely redone Nancy Downs hovering (“Surprise”) sprite.
– Marvel Comics: New Scarlet Witch spellcasting pose
– Illmosis/ScrollBoss: An updated version of the new ‘cos-ladies’ Witch sprite I added last week and a second version in a slightly more traditional-looking witch outfit.

Stay tuned, there’ll be a second themed part of this update added later today. The title: On Leather Wings. Pretty sure some comic and cartoon fans can guess at least one of the sprites in that batch!

part 2

All new custom sprites were added to the fake screenshot makers/image generators that I used to make the group shot at the top of this post. The cos-lady witches now have more palette separation for their outfits.

The Trick or Beat ‘Em Up project has a cool, brutal beatdown demo on the project’s IG page. Check out the project’s Linktree for more info and how to help!

Can’t have a HorrorThon without a teaser video, can we?

Over a dozen new static sprites for the site (that’s not even counting alternate versions of them) and more new animation than usual will be in the main video.

The HorrorThon kicks off next week, but here’s a little something to get you

GFX Generator: The new 2025 theater lobby with posters chosen by site visitors has been added to the Screenstyles with multiple background choices: Group, Vs., Marvel vs. Capcom ending, Box 160 x 192 pixels, and Comic 88 pixel. In the Box and Comic settings, I made an extra version that crops to the two movies that got the most votes: Dawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 2.

As a bonus surprise, I’ve put an early version of a new sprite into the “ScrollBoss – Cos-ladies” character: a witch! For now all you can do is change the color of her skin, hair, eyes, and laces while she wears an all-black outfit. She’ll have more extra palette powers (and possibly other surprises) when she’s updated during next week’s HorrorThon! Speaking of which, here’s a taste of the new pixel art that will stalk this site during the marathon:
