They’ll never get The Texas Chainsaw Massacre right again. Not because they don’t try... because they can’t. The original wasn’t about gore. It was about absolute decay. The heat. Rotting dreams. A world already dead and yet still moving onward.

A pure documentary about the collapse of America.

I cannot stress enough that Wes Craven did not have a single goddamned thing to do with Freddy's Nightmares, and I have no fucking clue what Polygon is smoking with this article

There's no way they didn't realize it'd have this effect. I see the "question everything" bit happening now even with the little things. I PM'ed a link to a musical performance on IG to a friend and he wondered if it was AI because of how the video had the vibe of a different era.

Truth! I was rewatching one just to see if it's where he mentioned it, and it wasn't, but he's too good on the mic to just say "This isn't the vid, I'm gonna stop it."

Watch out Demitri! #Blade isn’t someone like you should screw around with! Lately I have been getting interested in Blade, and this idea popped in my head this very moment and I don’t know how I didn’t think of it sooner. Blade by @scrollboss.bsky.social. #DarkStalkers #CAPCOM #Marvel

The removal of characters from these games were not announced prior to release by Basic Fun directly.

Savage, Hawk, Animal, Slaughter, and Andre getting scrubbed was confirmed through YouTuber PDubs Arcade Loft asking Basic Fun directly.

Bad deal all around. God bless emulation.

WWE WrestleFest game has the same issues but worse. The removal of The Legion of Doom give you no final boss characters and removes their iconic cutscene with voiceovers. Okerlund cut from the game as well along with Sgt. Slaughter as a selectable character. (Via @/rgt85)

Image of the WWE Superstars arcade game port from Basic Fun. Everything looks ok here…

Basic Fun released a $600 WWF WrestleFest mini cabinet that not only had the graphics retooled to include the modern WWE retro logos (expected) but characters were also removed.

Included as well, the WWF Superstars game minus Macho Man Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, and Gene Okerlund. (Via @/rgt85)

This was the last time Gary Owens voiced Space Ghost, and interestingly the idea Space Ghost is friends with Batman originates from Space Ghost Coast to Coast and it's comics and would be referenced again in a 2024 Scooby Doo crossover Little Golden Book

The Batman: The Brave and The Bold episode "Bold Beginnings!" debuted on this day (Oct. 14) in 2011. A really fantastic episode, Batman teams-up with Space Ghost, while Green Arrow, Aquaman, and Plastic Man recount their first team-ups with the Caped Crusader! #BatmanBraveBold #Batman

It has the added bonus of making everyone question everything. Images? Easy to fake. Videos? Yep them too now. Now more than ever I'm positive AI is the tool of fascism. It's an evil weapon that doesn't serve humanity in the least.

In many ways cyberspace was a great equalizer that allowed people to transcend class limitations. If you think about it that way it's easy to understand why it was so important for them to destroy it. They couldn't quite destroy it so they had to flood it with worthless information.

…the hours I spent looking at this VHS art. The richness, the light, the realism. It wasn’t until decades later that I realized the same artist was responsible for so much of the imagery of my childhood. Drew Struzan was singular. I’m grateful for the work he left us.

Hallowe'en post #14:
Yesterday's had to do with Jason Voorhees, so here's a post about Freddy Krueger.
In Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991), Freddy torments Spencer in a video game, even using a clawed Power Glove, referencing the infamous Mattel controller for the NES.
