An Artist’s Tribute to ‘Bloodborne’: A Messengers PS4 Stand

Published

on

Bloodborne

There are numerous options of PlayStation 4 stands that players will find for their “Bloodborne machines”. Most of these stands are sleek, jet black, and occasionally hold your games neatly off to the side. Do these stands actually “stand” out though? Do they present themselves in a way that when you gaze upon them directly, they churn your blood? A stand that has a dual purpose, maybe like your favorite hunter’s weapon?

Do these assembly line models deliver a message to you and your guests – a message that, when you stare at the ghastly faces underneath the console, you can almost hear the soulless whispers call out as you sit down to play? A voice beckons; “welcome home, good hunter”.

While that is certainly a theatrical introduction for an art piece story, I don’t believe this piece deserves anything less.

With the addition of Bloodborne to the free titles in PlayStation Plus, those who never took the chance to join the hunt can can seek out to venture through the terrors of Yahrnam.

In the midst of From Software’s free release of the merciless Lovecraftian heavy-hitter,  artist Michael Ildmirkin has debuted the beginning of a series of Bloodborne inspired projects… if you haven’t already guessed, it’s a stand for the PlayStation 4.

Ildmirkin recently uploaded the project’s design details and components to his Instagram and his own Eject Studio’s Facebook page. The stand will feature the game’s own “messengers” rising from the base of the bath chalice found in the “Hunter’s Dream” level of Bloodborne.

Held above the messengers will be an unraveled scroll used as the surface that will support the PlayStation 4; additionally, runes featured from the game will be inscribed into the scroll to add texture.

Ildmirkin has not disclosed what material he or any of the others on the project will be using to make the stand–it may not be known until they first go through some prototypes.

Fans of the artist (now including myself) who saw the design obviously want to know one important question: will Ildmirkin and co. ever sell this or any of their other Bloodborne projects?

Concerning the PlayStation 4 stand in particular, the artist stated in one of his Facebook comments that they are planning to try and sell the stand (although creative property and copyright issues may prove this to be a little difficult).

Currently, a finish date has not been disclosed. Even if we never get to own this work of art, this piece alone warrants an eye to be kept out for Ildmirkin and Eject Studios on their Bloodborne themed endeavors!

‘Immaculate’ Stars Reveal Which Horror Villains They Would “F, Marry, Kill”

Published

on

Sydney Sweeney is just coming off the success of her rom-com Anyone But You, but she’s ditching the love story for a horror story in her latest film Immaculate.

Sweeney is taking Hollywood by storm, portraying everything from a love-lusting teenager in Euphoria to an accidental superhero in Madame Web. Although the latter got a lot of hate among theater-goers, Immaculate is getting the polar opposite.

The film was screened at SXSW this past week and was well-received. It also gained a reputation for being extremely gory. Derek Smith of Slant says the, “final act contains some of the most twisted, gory violence this particular subgenre of horror has seen in years…”

Thankfully curious horror movie fans won’t have to wait long to see for themselves what Smith is talking about as Immaculate will hit theaters across the United States on March, 22.

Bloody Disgusting says that the movie’s distributor NEON, in a bit of marketing smarts, had stars Sydney Sweeney and Simona Tabasco play a game of “F, Marry, Kill” in which all their choices had to be horror movie villains.

It’s an interesting question, and you might be surprised at their answers. So colorful are their responses that YouTube slapped an age-restricted rating on the video.

Immaculate is a religious horror movie that NEON says stars Sweeney, “as Cecilia, an American nun of devout faith, embarking on a new journey in a remote convent in the picturesque Italian countryside. Cecilia’s warm welcome quickly devolves into a nightmare as it becomes clear her new home harbors a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.”

In related news to the Terminator world, Linda Hamilton stated I’m done. I’m done. I have nothing more to say. The story’s been told, and it’s been done to death. Why anybody would relaunch it is a mystery to me. She claims she doesn’t want to play Sarah Connor anymore. You can check out more of what she said here.

If you were expecting another Paranormal Activity sequel to be a feature film you’d be surprised. Maybe there will be one, but for now, Variety reports that DreadXP co-director and creative director Brian Clarke (DarkStone Digital) are creating a video game based on the series.

“We are thrilled to work with Paramount Game Studios and to have the opportunity to bring the world of ‘Paranormal Activity’ to gamers everywhere,” Epic Pictures CEO and DreadXP producer Patrick Ewald told Variety. “The films are steeped in rich lore and creative scares, and under the stewardship of creative director Brian Clarke, DreadXP’s ‘Paranormal Activity’ video game will honor those core tenets and offer horror fans one of our most terrifying games yet.”

Clarke, who worked on the horror video game The Mortuary Assistant said the Paranormal Activity franchise shows just how much reach a genre-specific title can accomplish, “If you thought ‘The Mortuary Assistant’ was scary, we’re taking what we learned during the development of that title and cranking it up with a more reactive and horrifying haunting system. It’s going to be intense!”

The new game is scheduled to be released in 2026.
