halloween hype: the drifting classroom soundtrack
I’ll probably post about this every Halloween for the rest of my life. Nearly four years ago in November of 2009 I composed and released a chiptune soundtrack to Kazuo Umezu’s incredible The Drifting Classroom manga. Such a stunning creative effort on my part caused my formerly vibrant body to become an exhumed husk, doomed to wheeze nothing but fumes for the years that would follow.
You can STILL listen to and download it for free. Play it at a Halloween party!
I’ve mentioned it before, but the REALLY AWESOME thing about The Drifting Classroom soundtrack is it’s 100% Kazuo Umezu approved! The rad dudes at the Tokyo Scum Brigade blog actually brought a copy to the master himself, who can be seen posing enthusiastically with it in his home in Japan.
The image above remains the coolest thing in the world to me.
halloween hype: splatterhouse
Yesterday was a bank holiday here, which is literally the least spooky thing in the world, so forgive me if I neglected to jump up and down screaming about it being the WEEK OF HALLOWEEN! There’s no better time of year, except maybe Christmas, but even that’s debatable.
There’s also no better Halloween game series than Splatterhouse. I recommend everyone pop at least ONE of ’em in this week; even the spectacularly goofy Wanpaku Graffiti would be more than appropriate. While you set up your emulators or dust off your consoles, peep this delightfully devilish drawing I did for the occasion:
castlevania’s most reluctant skeleton
I love most things about Super Castlevania IV, from the music to the cheeseball localization that had a dancing ghost boss pair renamed to “Fred Askare” and “Paula Abghoul.” Even the box art is great, but I think the version we got edited out one crucial element: Castlevania’s most reluctant skeleton.
The US box art:
Now look at this version:
Notice anything?
I like the idea that this one skeleton saw all this madness going down and was like “nope.”
