Artist Matthew Therrien’s New Portrait Series Paints the Faces of a Franchise

Published

I love a good bit of horror art more than… well, a lot of things, really. Anyone that’s seen my apartment can attest to that. So naturally, I’m stoked to bring Canadian artist Matthew Therrien to your attention! 

What’s your favourite scary movie? Chances are, Therrien has a portrait for that. His (understandably) popular Final Girls & Cinema Survivors series mashed up villains and their respective heroes in an artistic (and literal) face-off. You should definitely check it out.

Therrien’s new series presents a variety of horror icons as expressionist style portraits, including Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger shown through the different stages of their franchises. He’s currently working on a Halloween series with Michael Myers’ masked mug. 

Therrien has brought his talents to work for Warner Bros., SYFY Channel, Bunny Ears (the official lifestyle blog of Macaulay Culkin), The Revue Cinema, Severin Films, Synpase Films, The Hero Complex Gallery and more. He’s been a cover and featured artist in publications such as Diabolique Magazine and Rue Morgue, and was included in Printed in Blood’s gorgeous The Thing Artbook

The in-progress Halloween portraits will be added to his shop in October, but you can follow Therrien on Instagram to catch a new preview every few days. The series will consist of eleven 5×7” portraits, with a limited run of 75 giclée art prints on coldpress watercolor paper. Check out some of my favourites below, and head on over to Matthew Therrien’s site to check out the full series.

Exclusive Sneak Peek: Eli Roth and Crypt TV’s VR Series ‘The Faceless Lady’ Episode Five

Published

on

Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.

Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.

The Faceless Lady

Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.

So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?

‘Blink Twice’ Trailer Presents a Thrilling Mystery in Paradise

Published

on

A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this  Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.

The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.

The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.

In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
