Blood: Refreshed Supply (2025) review

Warning, there will be an insane amount of blood. Just kidding this game is quite bloody though. I actually wanted to warn the readers it's going to be a bit lengthy review entry.

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I finally gotten around to play the new version of the DOS game Blood. Personally I was surprised they done a second remaster for the game. Yes there's some huge differences to help those who haven't played all the versions before. I will say this is easily among their best remasters I played yet.

Blood: Refreshed Supply (2025)

I will start with a major difference between both Nightdive's remasters. Blood: Fresh Supply was essentially a modded DOS emulated version. Blood: Refreshed Supply was rebuilt from the ground up. Everything Blood: Fresh Supply had plus much more!!! Yes they included quick save/quick load. But if you want it for your controller.

You will need to set it up which is easy to do. Yes both features works perfectly among the best in fact. Not only you have all the previous campaigns in the other versions. They also added in Death Row and Marrow that were mod campaigns. Both quite well received by the Blood game community. Like their newer remasters, you get some nice behind the scenes stuff.

The controls are hands down the best I ever seen for this game!!! I really couldn't believe it playing way better than it ever had!!! They also added in newer versions of cutscenes. Which does include The Cryptic Passage surprisingly. This is like some of their remasters that really packs in the levels. Now I would love for Nightdive to remaster Blood II: The Chosen.

This also the first version on consoles was something I didn't expect to ever happened!!! I do get why some people weren't happy about this newer version. They really step up their game with this version. Yes you can select which campaigns and levels you wanna play. As a fan of Blood, I really couldn't ask for more.

The Cryptic Passage, Marrow and Death Row are found in manage add-ons section. Which does effect saving a little bit. It will tell you among resuming your saves in those campaigns. The game doesn't properly register it but still allows you to play your saves. Something the old remaster doesn't do. This also gives each one their own cool main menu look.

Like some of their remasters, you can hold a button down then select weapons. Which can easily be done during game play. It took me almost twenty four hours no cheat codes to fully play every single campaign included. I really didn't want to stop playing because all of it was so great!!! Nightdive took what they learned from the previous remaster to deliver an even better one.

Honestly, I waited almost an year to play this. It really felt well worth the long wait. You know the gaming industry isn't doing well. When the actual hype at least for me is these sick newer versions of classic games!!! This one is truly amazing at everything it does!!! To fully play every campaign will take a lot of hours.

Blood is one of those must play close to or on Halloween games. This newer remaster truly embodied it's spirit. Caleb at his absolute worst killing everything that crosses his path. This still my favorite FPS game that's on Build engine. The same FPS engine to have Duke Nukem 3D!!! You can tell I'm quite happy playing this newer version!!!

Death Row and Marrow section

Death Row was made by modder Bloatoid. Whose been working on this Blood mod since 2011 from what I could find. Marrow was made by modder Damien_Azreal. Who also helped designed Chapter 2 of Cultic. He's been working on this Blood mod since 2023 not nearly as long. It's nice they allowed their work into this newer version of the game.

Adding in features would help make playing both of them a bit easier. Just when you thought you seen everything before. WOW both of them are really refreshing as well as inspiring. Both felt like what Blood II: The Chosen should've felt like not sorry. I also hope they allow more well received mod Blood campaigns in the near future like Sigil II gotten added into Doom + Doom II.

I started with Death Wish, from the first level in it's episode 1 campaign. I kept getting more blown away as it went on. A lot of these levels are incredibly ambitious. I even seen things I didn't think was possible to do in the actual game technically. I could tell you get ready for ambushes. You should already be prepare for them.

What you won't be ready for during an 1st play though. Death Row kept throwing curve balls that mentally gotten me frustrated. It's difficult to explain just how one of these levels plays out. Some levels had an additional seventh key I'm only covering the surface. We had a level you kept moving between flying vehicles was really amazing stuff!!!

I also loved the main cutscenes were done by the modder. This is essentially an what if follow up to the original Blood. Still a huge notable gap before Blood II: The Chosen. I did knew some stuff did helped line that game up more. Such as the cult does eventually become a corporation. This felt more Blood than any of the other actual campaigns prior!!!

Don't even ask me how the hell that's possible? A particular level directly based on The Thing (1982 version). Which is interesting because the previous year, Nightdive remastered The Thing game. Literately the same exact month I don't know if that's done on purpose or what? Another level is based on The Wizard of Oz.

It's no secret with The Wizard of Oz being in the public domain. There's always something with the franchise coming out. I also wanna point out another level based on Silent Hill 4: The Room. WOW I don't know how this modder recreated that SH game!!! Yes I played through it once a long time ago. Honestly the little stuff I kept seeing in the later levels were pretty awesome.

I really wish some of that was actually real!!! Like Blood: The Movie not to be confused with Blood: The Last Vampire hell yeah!!! Some of these maps were quite unique to the point. Death Wish set a new standard for the franchise. This simply goes beyond next level stuff!!! There's a very huge learning curve with a lot of stuff not quite clear to figure out.

A fair warning for anyone wanting to play this Blood mod. I will say these campaigns as a whole better than the entire base game!!! No really as great those levels were for their time. These newer levels completely changed everything!!! Death Wish is currently among my favorite FPS mods I ever played!!!

Marrow is a deeper horror driven experience. There's some amazing levels that just sticks with you a long time. Episode 1 was quite a decent campaign by itself. Death Wish added in traps you gotta avoid. Which also had enemies from Episode 6: Post Mortem. Marrow is meant to freak you out more. Death Wish is more let's take Blood all the way!!!

Marrow is a play on bone marrow just in case some didn't know or realize that. Which made it a rather fitting name for this Blood mod. Obviously Death Wish I don't even need to explain. Going by Chapter 2 of Cultic, I do see how this modder goes about designing the levels. So far I do see why Marrow had to be included.

Episode 2 I felt was done well for the most part. But a notable amount of it been an insane endurance to finish the campaign. This isn't to say it wasn't fun honestly. In fact, it was incredibly fun at times!!! I had an easier time figuring where to go as well as finding key items. The final level has an challenging boss rush ending with Tchernobog.

Somehow everything kept coming back to these two facing each other again. I do prefer slightly Marrow's first episode. But I still recommend checking out Marrow's Episode 2. As a whole, it's debatable if it should rank higher than The Cryptic Passage? Both it's episodes are vastly different making each their own experiences.

Virtually what Cultic itself done prior. I should mention there's a secret level in Marrow. Recreating Cultic's first level I couldn't believe first seeing it on an YouTube video a while back. I surprisingly didn't had to look anything major up for both these mods. I was able to figure things out especially when I started to question my own sanity!!!

Marrow Episode 2 does pull from Post Mortem campaign. I felt Marrow was more of it's own spin off of the story. Although some aspects could possibly connect to the actual lore. Yes you also can say that about Death Wish as well. Honestly, they helped make it more worth it's price. They put much more into this remaster with those being cherries on top.

Marrow does have it's own intros that's awesome. I would say as a whole, Death Wish was the very best this newer version had to offer. This Blood mod was really mind blowing to me pun very intended!!! Marrow I felt was still quite decent. I wouldn't necessary say a disappointment. But some may felt a bit let down after playing it's first episode.

Conclusion

I felt all the campaigns came together quite well. You can tell to a degree how the designs differ from each other. Adding in two famous Blood mods with their campaigns was genius!!! A move Nintendo would never do by the way. This remastered version is among the very greatest I ever had the pleasure of playing.

If you aren't good at these style games but still enjoy using cheat codes. You can use them for a truly fun experience. Death Wish is my biggest recommendation to play. If you wanna see a mod that transformed a great game into something beyond that!!! You really need to play Death Wish before you die.

I felt The Cryptic Passage held up a bit better than both episodes of Marrow. But Marrow was still a great time through it's two campaigns. Now I can die happy I finally gotten to play this newer version. I didn't have any major issues whatsoever after played all the campaigns. I just wanted more or wish like some of their remasters had mod support.

Bethesda's case does require an Bethesda.net account even for GOG version to use that feature. This would be the unmodded method to play them. I also felt I'm way beyond satisfied. I'm gotten more inspired by those Blood mods especially Death Wish. I wish more companies would do something like that!!!

My thoughts on Brotato: Primal Dread (2026)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, earlier this month was the new DLC for Brotato. I knew about Primal Dread for a couple months. Earlier today, I gotten caught back up on Brotato's achievements. This really is a strong candidate for what could be my Game of the Year. To be honest, I am quite surprised how insane this turned out to be?

Brotato: Primal Dread (2026)

I do need to say only PC gaming services has this paid DLC right now. But they are planning to release it for console versions next year. There's a lot of new content added making it essentially a truly unique experience. We're talking it actually felt like a different game!!! I won't cover everything in detail otherwise this would've been quite a lengthy blog entry.

There's a new third map being the Jungle map. You are facing off against dinosaurs with a few twists thrown in. A lot of characters can collect stuff for either mutated or mecha dinosaurs. Yes both notably impacts the overall game play in so many ways. Now when you get to Shop, you'll see two new bars on the right.

Which are colored differently representing evolutions your enemies could undergo during waves. A rather cool thing on the mecha side is you also collect microchips. Which can be used to gain additional abilities to your weapons outside regular currency. The higher either evolution meter is, the more tanky the enemies will become.

Mutation are notably greenish while mecha being more purple. Obviously mutation is much uglier to look at. Mecha ends up being very awesome designs. Who cares if they felt like they couldn't decide which evolution to go for? I'm personally glad they took extra time to go for both of them. Some waves could have holes you have to move around.

Thankfully you don't have to worry falling down holes coughs Atari E.T.!!! There's ten more characters added making it seventy four of them. Yeah ten more than GoldenEye on Nintendo 64!!! They added a lot of newer stuff you could get from Shop. They also added twenty one newer achievements. I'm glad I didn't have to do extra runs with these newer characters.

No it doesn't matter which map you complete runs on with them. Some of these newer achievements work best on the new map. This really felt like an evolution of the game play. Just when I was already blown away by Abyssal Terrors DLC. Damn this one really took things to an entirely new level. I didn't even knew existed prior it's that great!!!

I won't describe how every newer character impacts the game play. But I will describe a few that ended up being their own unique experiences. Caveman's waves will kept getting darker. Yes to the point you can't see anything!!! But you will figure out turrets and pets will help a little bit. Turrets stay in a spot during waves while having a small portion of it's location lid up.

Pets ends up being a little better since they can move around the maps. But you don't control their actions meaning you got to stay close with them or get loss in the darkness. Survivor doesn't get weapons from Shop like most characters. Instead you get em from getting loot crates. Which only can be opened following a wave.

Basically up to you get an weapon for every weapon slot. You have to decide on the spot if you want em or not? Of course I gotta mention the one character some people expect me to talk about. Veteran is a full blown parody of John Rambo!!! Yes a character based on Rambo in the actual game. Yes he even has the iconic Rambo hair.

Veteran is basically the fewer your health during waves. He gains more increased damage towards the enemies. He also doesn't regain health between waves. Yes I went out of my way to get six M60s for him during my 1st run with the character. Can you imagine if Rambo had six of those? Well in a way you get to live that reality in Brotato.

Considering how cheap this DLC is? I didn't expect they went this big with the concept. Somehow they made dinosaurs fun in a video game. Honestly, this added so much depth I am not even sure. If they could add anymore to the game? These potatoes faced insects then sea creatures now dinosaurs!!! They literately gave evolution the finger!!!

There's no question among the best DLC free or paid I played this year by far. You really do get your money's worth with this!!! Especially if you love dinosaurs I recommend buying the actual game. Then buy this DLC it's truly fantastic work!!! I really can't criticize it because they absolutely knock this out the park!!!

Little Nicky (2000) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, recently there's a few movies I revisited on Halloween. But among them was surprisingly a particular comedy movie I haven't reviewed yet. You could even say it's a huge reason I'm a fan of a particular comedian years later. For a long time, still among my absolute favorite comedy movies I ever seen!!!

Little Nicky (2000)

It was late into my childhood hanged out with a friend. Who instantly gotten me into this Adam Sandler movie. Here's the real kicker though it wasn't well received by critics. But like many movies gotten a cult following. Maybe following such classics as Big Daddy and The Water Boy. They either expected too much following those or simply didn't know what to expect at all?

The actual story is about a critical family meeting. Which really pissed two of the devil's sons off. To the point, by escaping hell started the process of killing their father. The third son, Nicky had to go to the human world to force his brothers back to Hell. This is already more out there than any movie Sandler starred in prior.

Then again he was on a couple seasons of Saturday Night Live. Which helped launched many comedians' careers. Nicky gets a demon dog guide named Mr. Beefy!!! Yeah not even hiding what sick bastard he is lol. He gets to live with a room mate that's wants to become a big name actor. Nicky gets two best friends he really connects well with.

His room mate Todd played by Allen Covert. Covert in a lot more Sandler movies than Loughran and Dante combined!!! Which does include another personal favorite of mine, Mr. Deeds (2002 version). Which itself is a remake of the movie called Mr. Deeds Goes to Town. He played Marty who worked with Babe Bennett for a news channel.

The duo was played by Jonathan Loughran and Peter Dante. They appeared in a couple movies with Adam Sandler. I still felt among their most rememberable performances within them. The chemistry with these three was incredible!!! All three loving rock was a huge thing I personally loved about this Sandler movie.

They are devil worshippers that always was kind to Nicky. Before I describe more of the characters including the devil himself. I must talk about both Nicky's brothers. Cassius is virtually the brawn among the brothers. He wants to force his domination while disrespecting his father as well as the bounce itself. I'm talking about the bounce of good and evil!!!

Adrian is the smartest as well as the most ruthless among the brothers. Cassius was played by the late Tommy Lister Jr. who played the president in The Fifth Element. Adrian was played by Rhys Ifans who kept showing up in Marvel movies. Yes he was the guy who played The Lizard!!! Now that makes even more sense in a good way.

Nicky has a flask that's meant to trap his brothers inside. The only way to save the devil is force both of them back to Hell. Nicky actually gets a huge showdown with both his brothers on Earth. He volunteers to make a shot at a basketball game. If he makes that shot, everyone wins free pizza. Pizza for that many people isn't cheap just saying I would've to been there!!!

Of course, Cassius was possessing the referee for that basketball game played by Dana Carvey. Who also was on Saturday Night Live more famous being Garth. In Wayne's World sketches as well as it's movies. I will save Adrian's showdown for a little later. But trust me I really got a lot to say. The devil played by Harvey Keitel that ends up working perfectly!!!

The late Rodney Dangerfield was his father, Lucifer. A role I wouldn't expect Dangerfield to play. I won't cover every single character in the movie. Valerie was Nicky's girlfriend played by Patricia Arquette. Which is strangely amusing since she previously played as Kristen. In A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors being her acting debut.

Her brother David in Scream series while their trans sibling was in Bride of Chucky respectively. Nicky's brothers threw a few tricky curve balls. But Nicky kept going with death being a minor issue. Which also applies to his brothers. Also considering their dad's weaken condition. No one was strong enough to force em stay in Hell either.

This is exactly why Nicky was given that flask in the first place. Nicky saved Valerie while both he and his brother Adrian died. Nicky ended up going to heaven because he sacrificed himself to save her. Both unexpectedly gotten a major change that heavily impacts the endgame. Nicky meets his mother whose an angel in heaven.

She's played by Reese Witherspoon. Witherspoon gotten such a career since this movie. Yes Nicky part devil/part angel the entire time. Which also means he can go between three plains of existence instead of two like his brothers. He gets to learn his angel powers during this showdown. In vice versa, the gate keeper Stanley spilled the beans on the throne.

His father was nearly out of time that allowed a loop hole. Adrian forced his dad off that throne to claim it as his own. He quickly brought hell to Earth as a new devil. The final battle has a few surprising twists. We get to overheard all three brothers fighting inside the flask. Yes Rob Schneider is playing his famous role.

You know the one, "You can do it!!!" Adrian disguised as Nicky escaped the flask. His over confidence was ultimately his down fall. Nicky used a orb given to angels from god to stop Adrian. It turns out hidden inside was the late musician Ozzy Osbourne!!! Yes they reference the famous time Osbourne bite a head off a bat!!!

Nicky had to do something bad before death or he just goes back to heaven. Thus failing to save his father while leaving the throne empty. He does return his brothers to hell just time to save his dad. This is largely the entire story excluding the ending with additional jokes thrown in. One of my favorite early scenes was the first time seeing Nicky.

He's playing his sick looking guitar to one of his favorite rock songs!!! Every time about that scene really stood out to me. This awesome view of the castle. Suddenly we get to see Nicky's room before he rocks out. Two particular characters snores with such unusual noises. Mr. Beefy has what sounds like children singing!!!

Nicky's snores are rather rough noises. I know what some of you are thinking it's not sexual you sick bastards!!! I gotta mention this blind priest played by Quentin Tarantino. Easily one of Nicky's biggest enemies in the movie excluding his brothers. The closest other person was a street vendor who stolen the flask.

Played by the late John Witherspoon. Witherspoon was better known in Friday franchise. Not Friday the 13th!!!! no Friday with Ice Cube movie franchise!!! This guy actually pissed Nicky off that indirectly gotten him to meet his future wife. I wanna mention some of my favorite jokes. Some of which that sorta gets under the radar a little bit.

Nicky on the news with altered movie footage of Scarface. The classic Scarface as in the 1983 version. Which actually was a remake of the movie of the same name in 1932. This film was six years before Scarface: The World Is Yours, an what if sequel to that movie. Another joke was Mr. Beefy gets ready to take a leak.

It ended up being an arrow fired at Adrian's leg. What made this one of my favorite jokes was exactly how Mr. Beefy said afterwards. "Now that hurt the both of us!!!" I bet it did damn that dog needs to be seen by a vet soon lol. Another late movie joke I liked was Nicky turning some of Adrian's henchmen good.

Nicky was telling some of them how to eat fried chicken. But one of the henchmen with the rabbits bit a rabbit ear off. "Not you not you!!!" I really gotta mention the insane slam dunk Nick beaten Cassius. Literately all this crazy stuff happening before he slam dunks it. I still haven't seen an slam dunk in anything that crazy!!!

Speaking of that section of the movie. Cassius forcing some of the Harlem Gobblers team members slamming their heads. Literately an handful banging their heads against an announcer's table. One of my favorite things Adrian does was possessing a priest. He convinces people to go out sinning with a lot of jokes thrown in.

Cassius was possessing the mayor during all of this. This entire scene was amazingly funny for it's time. Nicky's first death returning to hell. He suddenly asks his dad, "I saw a bright light attached to a lot of metal!!! He replies, "That's a train son!!! Don't stand in front of those!!!" In Nicky's defense, he's never been to the human world prior.

He literately there a few seconds right back after getting hit by an train. Another stupid part as brief as it was. Nicky tries using the flask on a polar bear at a zoo. Obviously, he dies leading to such an unexpected scene afterwards. Another late movie joke I personally thought was funny. Some people gets their punishment shown a few times in the movie.

Like a horny guy who pretended to be a big bird. He was punished being sexual by a big bird in hell!!! This isn't even the guy I wanted to mention. For reference purposes, this pervert was played by Jon Lovitz. I remembered him in another comedy movie the following year, Rate Race. Where he played an dad that tricked his family to take part in a race around the world to win money.

The other person was Hitler whose forced to dress up as a maid. Oh it gets worst, he must bend over. The devil forced pine apples up where the sun don't shine. The last of this we get to see was something truly special!!! The grandfather with the flash having both Nicky's brothers inside. Yeah that flask gets up there causing Hitler pain lol.

Another early scene was two of the brothers talking mentally before meeting with their dad. Cassius forced Nicky to constantly punch his sack a lot. This easily was among the first jokes in the movie I remembered growing up. A short scene I liked was Nicky floating with Valerie around the city. The blind priest insults Nicky's girlfriend.

Nicky caused an fire hydrant to spray the priest. I always liked that was in the movie. It doesn't even feel forced just a nice, short, unexpected break from a couple enjoying themselves. The soundtrack for this comedy movie was a huge factor why I loved it so much!!! This is one of many movies I really could talk about for days.

It's not that often for comedy movies though. I'm well aware most Sandler fans won't rank this one high. It was more a twisted, dark humor Sandler movie. Little Nicky was like one party I never wanted to leave!!! It doesn't get Monkeybone weird which came out the following year. I already reviewed that a while back.

This is more it's own thing from most Sandler movies. They somehow made death to a degree funny!!! Which is already a tricky thing to do. This was before Sandler went big with his movies on Netflix era. Little Nicky still more fun to watch than Hubie Halloween. Indirectly felt like the closest thing Sandler made to that.

Where Sandler also played a very nice guy. More notably taking place on Halloween, I previously discussed it in another blog recently. Ultimately, an relative was the main antagonist of those Sandler movies. Two vastly different movies where Sandler speaks very different from his other roles. Obviously I prefer Little Nicky a lot more!!!

Fortnitemares 2026 rant

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, before I moved I already planning another Fortnite rant blog. I wasn't satisfied with my previous Fortnite rant. Some might find this newer rant enjoyable while others not so much. Honestly, despite the main focus being moving into a new home. This particular Halloween event for Fortnite kept showing up like the plague!!!

Fortnitemares 2026

I never seen an Halloween game event this milked!!! It goes beyond ridiculousness in ways some can't proper process their brains!!! As much I would love a bit of everything to represent Halloween. I already looked up every newer franchise added through this Halloween event. There's twelve new franchises added to the game alone!!!

1. Five Nights at Freddy's

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street

3. Black Clover

4. Hollow Knight (not a player skin)

5. Halloween Horror Nights

6. 99 Nights in the Forest (Roblox)

7. Hazbin Hotel

8. The Purge

9. Obsession

10. Slender Man

11. Beetlejuice

12. Predator: Badlands

I think the lineup should've spoke on itself. But I'm not sure how many people see how I view it? A lot of these franchises had little to nothing added with an handful had more overall content. Two of them added in bosses you could face during matches. The fewer amount franchises just felt like that's all you need. But come on Beetlejuice deserves way more respect than that!!!

Obsession I may be happy for it's success. I know some won't like saying this is starting to come off as overrated. Predator: Badlands isn't even a horror movie I still haven't seen it. I was even surprised Black Clover being the solo anime franchise represented in the Halloween event. For me, it's weird seeing the main three using guns!!!

Even stranger they actually allowed an indie game franchise created from Roblox!!! Which already questionable because sick adults going after children situation Roblox has!!! They went for Hazbin Hotel yet not include Helluva Boss? Now anyone that seen the show Helluva Boss would agree. Those characters would fit in better than those from Hazbin Hotel.

Those imps from Hell are out of their minds!!! For me, it felt like they needed something no one would expect. But an handful of these franchises actually nailed that!!! Hollow Knight as a companion now in the game!!! This is still quite weird because the character in a famous metroidvania game. Hollow Knight should've had more customization.

It felt like the character was forced on the side lines. It was a little surprising Halloween Horror Nights showed up. For those not familiar what that is? It's an Halloween event representing many horror franchises. Obviously this helped tied a lot of these franchises together. I still felt they could've went bigger with it!!!

The Purge had one particular outfit that didn't really stand out. Not because it wasn't designed well either. There was simply too many newer franchises added during this Halloween event. The one constant leaks I kept seeing were about Five Nights at Freddy's. Yes they also crossed over into the game.

Actually had the most overall content for the Halloween event. They wanted younger gamers to play in the Halloween event. I mean why else go for such an franchise that doesn't even work for this? I felt Dead by Daylight done a little better in comparison. An handful of those characters were also added in as bosses.

I still haven't gotten to two particular franchises I'm really surprised they gotten!!! A Nightmare on Elm Street yes it's the classic Freddy. Also yes Robert Englund reprised the role for this crossover. WOW Dead by Daylight, Fortnite beat you guys getting the version of the character we all wanted!!! Let's got a step further there's a particular internet horror icon everyone wants in DbD.

Surprisingly actually showed up in Fortnite!!! A character that had little to 5% chances of showing up. I am talking about Slender Man!!! Yes this thing also added for the Halloween event!!! I already confused by so many crossovers they done over the years!!! Slender Man was among the last characters even for an Halloween event I expected to show up!!!

His creator is rather selective about how people use the character. We do know The Operator whose an alternative version of the creature, Dead by Daylight passed on. Let's be more direct, none of this actually makes sense!!! I felt doing an handful of franchises could've helped balanced things. It also could've helped with the confusion some could've had.

A lot of them aren't known for using guns!!! A large amount of those playing Fortnite are kids to teens. I know there's adults also playing the game on a somewhat daily basis. It does sorta explain why an handful of these franchises were chosen? But how many of them knows Slender Man, Black Clover or Beetlejuice?

If you defeat Freddy, you can use his claw glove during a match. Personally I heard the voice overs, they could've done a bit more. They didn't need to swear just could've added some of his other famous quotes. The way Freddy was portrayed felt like they're in the dream world. This is where I started to notice they don't care about lore or how some characters meant to work?

Let's talk someone like Beetlejuice for an example. He's a ghost that goes out of his way to terrorize the living. He can shape shifting with a notable variety of powers. I felt characters like those really don't fit at all in this!!! Beetlejuice could easily cheat to survive matches if they were going by those. It's a similar situation with Freddy since he can manipulate the dream world.

He can have anything he wants happens as long as he has enough fear from people. Adding souls does increase his power making him like a God!!! Slender Man is so mysterious with barely much to actually go on. Power scaling is literately all over the place!!! Some of these beings existing on a few plains of existence makes facing em in matches pointless.

Of course, that's assuming you could kill them or temporary stop them? I know Predator has crossed over prior to the Halloween event. But this is Predator: Badlands that differs a lot from the franchise. I know calling that a new franchise might be seen as a stretch. Considering, the concept of that Predator movie. I felt it should be treated as it's own related thing than just Predator franchise.

It would've been different if that were more alike anything else within Predator franchise. It didn't stop them kept adding in different versions of Batman!!! Look we get it, Fortnite loves Batman!!! I was more surprise with all the DC crossovers, they didn't go for Matt Hagen from the new Clayface movie. Some aspects of the character could've blend in with some of the mechanics.

I know it's not easy to get franchises ready to do crossovers. But did this Halloween event need this many new franchises? This felt like two of these Halloween events combined in overall scope!!! I also know there's a lot of people that wants literately everything in Fortnite. I never seen such a greedy online multiplayer game in my entire life!!!

My thoughts on Cinemassacre's Monster Madness XX: Trick or Treat!

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, another huge Halloween tradition I have is watching Cinemassare's Monster Madness marathons. James Rolfe does spice it up to a degree. This being the twentieth one has another iconic theme not many people surprisingly do. Every Thursday of this month, Rolfe will be covering movies taking place on Halloween.

1. Terrifier 1 (2016) and 2 (2022)

It's no secret I'm a huge Terrifier fan. I may prefer he could've saved those later. But doing them now does deliver a hell of a way to truly kick things off. I'm virtually 50/50 how I felt about that. I originally didn't have audio on my computer. When I first watched this entry with subtitles. Which helped a lot during my 1st watch.

I have rewatched the video with sound. Obviously it's better with audio with great editing overall. He did hint covering Terrifier 3 in the near future. As a reminder, Terrifier 3 is a Christmas horror movie. I do think this is going to be a decent Monster Madness marathon despite being an handful of entries. I do like he's chosen Thursdays especially when not many entertainment stuff on Thursdays recently.

I also understand he's raising two daughters. Yeah I could've said finally he's doing this theme. But in truth, he sorta done a few related videos that led to this marathon. It's a foreshadowing that we just didn't know when he finally goes big on the concept? Terrifier movies was among most violent Halloween horror movies I ever seen!!!

Additional thoughts

Yesterday on October 28th, Dead by Daylight started PTB for Terrifier chapter. Now I don't know if Rolfe planned this entry to tie in to that? I still felt I should mention that. I'm just glad he finally talks about Art the Clown. Especially among the most brutal slasher villains I ever seen!!! What I do know is I'm happy to see more indie support especially horror franchises.

2. Night of the Demons (1988)

I heard of this movie many years ago. I'm glad Rolfe mentioned a few movies with similar titles. This issue going to keep getting bigger. Even excluding what's actually part of those horror movie franchises. He previously mentioned that with another movie House a couple years ago. He wanted to go all in by reviewing the movie I respected.

Night of the Demons I honestly didn't know until this video took place on Halloween. Honestly, I quickly got into this entry as I first watched it. Of course you knew something from the 80s had to show up. This was a surprising one he didn't cover in twenty years. It just felt the perfect time to do so. This being a huge milestone Cinemassacre's Monster Madness marathon made it even better!!!

The fact I'm getting really into this marathon means Rolfe absolutely killing it right now!!! Night of the Demons was a chaotic Halloween movie. Now he covered those early on the same marathon. I'm more curious what else possibly going to show up next? I always look forward to his creativity. Night of the Demons just feels right to be in this Monster Madness marathon.

The next entry came out on an Wednesday.

3. Haunt Season (2024)

I'm glad another indie movie made the lineup. I honestly never heard of this movie before. The concept was popular for a short while. But I got to be honest, Rolfe sold me in wanting to see this movie. Haunt Season focuses more on people that worked for an haunted attraction. I respect they went for the concept making it more realistic as well as relatable.

Haunt Season reminds me of a movie Rolfe directly mentioned I previously covered here. The Funhouse Massacre now that's a crazy movie of a similar theme. I was expecting most entries to be older movies. Of course, I welcomed Rolfe covering this movie. I will say I did like the costume the killer used.

I'm a huge fan of skeletons in general. Honestly, I'm even happier it's included in this Monster Madness marathon. I really can't say more than what I watched from his review. But I do need a little more variety within horror movies. Haunt Season sounds like something I'm going to enjoy. So far this Monster Madness marathon kept getting more into the upcoming holiday.

4. Hubie Halloween (2020)

Before I started this section, I really thought I wrote a review on Hubie Halloween prior. It turns out I haven't after all thanks to Rolfe covering the movie. I guess I can finally discuss this movie sharing my quick thoughts. I watched this on Netflix a couple years ago being an fan of Adam Sandler. I would say this movie fits exactly what Rolfe was going for.

Hubie Halloween truly embodies Halloween more than any comedy movie I seen. The plot of the movie was a weird revenge plot with a rather out there twist. It had some stuff that was just there that doesn't affect things much. It was meant to be a fun Halloween movie you watch with your family. This felt like a weird mix of his older comedy movies with some aspects of his newer ones.

The late Ray Liotta was surprisingly in this movie. I felt among his other movies I seen it's middle of the road. I still prefer it a lot over Happy Gilmore 2 not sorry. This was a fun entry for Cinemassacre's Monster Madness marathon. Of course I'm curious to see how it all ends next week? I will say this is among my favorite shorter Monster Madness marathons he's done so far.

Additional thoughts

By the way, the true antagonist of the movie was Hubie's mom. She was tired of people bullying her son which does include Liotta's character in the movie. I bet you weren't expecting her to be the killer. In a way I felt Sandler could've been high or possibly rushed the Netflix movie out. Yes he does sorta start back an relationship with a mom.

5. Jack-O (1995)

The final video covers a low budget Halloween horror movie. To be honest, how Rolfe described the movie I wanna see it. Damn that's twice in the same Cinemassacre's Monster Madness marathon. I actually liked the concept a lot that possibly inspired a multiplayer game called Horror Legends. Which also had among it's many killers a resurrected pumpkin head killer with a scythe.

I would've left the entire commentary part out. Then made that it's own bonus Halloween video. It did take a little too much focus away from the actual review. But It still was a decent review of the movie. Honestly, I expected a few movies that took place on Halloween. I didn't even know about this one prior to the video.

This was a rather cool one to end an Monster Madness marathon on. Jack-O is a movie that was around Scarecrow horror movies notably started to show up more. Despite not actually being an Scarecrow that still came off being similar. I do think Rolfe ended with a movie that truly embodied Halloween. Well every movie he picked for this particular Monster Madness marathon done that justice!!!

Conclusion

Before I get to what I really wanna see. This now my last blog entry before start living at my new home. Which I officially move in on Halloween not planned by the way it just happened!!! Rolfe had that awesome Jack O'Lantern shirt in all the entries. He had a weird Morgan & Morgan ad with the other guy being something different in all of them.

Despite the dialogue with everything else being virtually the same. I usually don't comment on ads Rolfe does in any of his videos. This turned out to be a great Monster Madness marathon. All of them truly helped made Halloween something even more special I possibly could've ever imagined. I got a few movies I gotta watch in the near future.

My thoughts on Treehouse of Horror XXXVII

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I woke up to watch The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror XXXVII. We're a few days from Halloween. Don't worry I'll give you a good idea where I place this within the 2020 Treehouse of Horror episodes. This should be a rather interesting review of the new Halloween Simpsons episode.

Treehouse of Horror XXXVII (2026)

A day before the episode, the new intro fully was shown on the internet. By now everyone knows it's a parody of The Nightmare Before Christmas. Easily one of the best things about this Halloween episode. They made a Simpsons variation of the famous song. Both having the same composer to a degree made this something truly special.

This was quite a way to kick things off. I really loved how they mashed Simpsons characters with those from The Nightmare Before Christmas. I would say easily among my favorite intros for an 2020 Treehouse of Horror episode. I have no criticisms it's a great intro. It's really rewatchable I already seen it a lot before the actual Halloween episode.

The first segment is Bride's Shed Revisited. I won't waste anytime easily the worst of the three segments. This felt like a major missed opportunity. They were to focus rushing out what essentially was the concept. This is based on The Husbands by Holly Gramazio. In the story, a husband goes into the attic. Then came back as a different man.

They parodied that with Homer going inside their new built shed. They went through a lot of Simpsons characters. Even Survivor host Jeff Probst gets in on that. Yes he's voiced by the actual person in the episode. This largely lacked terror beyond Marge kept getting husband swapped. The most actual horror was the strange, mess up ending.

Personally I would've had each husband after Homer went in. Replaced by someone worst than Homer in some way. Which easily could've led into many interesting directions. Marge kidnaps Homer to force both of them into the shed. Although they get back together they actually replaced Ned Flanders. Oh okay that's a mess up joke I'll allow.

It's not enough being an Halloween Simpsons episode. Both Flanders sons shotgun blasted the couple. Where they get shotguns is beyond me!!! It's difficult to say if this either was rushed or they quickly ran out of ideas? I wouldn't even be surprise it later gets revealed being both. The most creativity was having the two famous aliens show up for a cameo.

This playing heavily on swapping out concept. It was similar to a few previous Treehouse of Horror stories. Intrusion of the Pod-y Switchers from Treehouse of Horror XXIX. My main example being Heaven Swipes Right from Treehouse of Horror XXX. We had plant aliens swapped places with Simpsons characters that worked a little better.

I saw more actual creativity with Heaven Swipes Right. Where Homer dies but through a loop hole came back to life through different people's bodies. This strangely felt like a spiritual successor to that. This wasn't a good start to the horror anthology. It's far from the absolute worst I seen though. It's still a difficult sell to rewatch again.

I also gotta mention a regular Simpsons episode that also dealt with swapping places. The Bob Next Door where Sideshow Bob swapped places with his cell mate. He moved into a house nearby the Simpsons house. He does attempt to get revenge once again against Bart. Yes this was parodying a movie called Face/Off.

Rather than simply swapped out the faces. He went a step further to completely replace his skin with his cell mate's. Which already sounds more like something from an actual Treehouse of Horror episode. I felt this particular Simpsons episode was worth mentioning here. Bride's Shed Revisited is just alright at best.

The second segment is Dog Boy Afternoon. Easily the best of the three segments. I was a bit confused when I first found out about it. Now I can say this was such a weird parody concept that worked!!! Homer takes Bart and Santa's Little Helper out to dinner. Of course, Homer gets careless that caused the dog to get hit by a vehicle.

Two of them thinking the dog died took the body to a graveyard. Which doesn't even hide what they're parodying here. By accident, Homer actually killed Bart with a shovel. I won't be surprise it's possible to kill someone like that in real life. But damn what a brutal accidental death!!! After both the bodies were buried, their souls swapped bodies.

Now both are back at the Simpsons house with Bart now in Santa's Little Helper's body upset with Homer. Lisa figures out the two swapped places. Homer was nearby quickly leaving things to a rather unpleasant situation. Homer attacked the dog whose now in Bart's body while Bart attacking him. After he bite Homer, his dad decides to put him down.

Homer almost gets away with murdering his own son. Until Lisa's quick thinking led to such a violent kill scene. Homer's corpse was buried in the same graveyard as Snowball I. Now the two swapped bodies we get to see around Christmas. It's amusing to see Homer in Snowball I's body lol. In a rather mess up way this was a fitting punishment for him.

I got a couple Treehouse of Horror episodes to compare here. Bad Dream House from the original Treehouse of Horror episode. Dial "Z" for Zombies from Treehouse of Horror III. The Island of Dr. Hibbert from Treehouse of Horror XIII. Two of those are obvious since a burial ground was used. How I fit The Island of Dr. Hibbert in largely similar to Simpsons becoming animals.

I should mention Geriatric Park from Treehouse of Horror XXIX that does something. Similar with the elderly becoming dinosaurs a disappointing parody of Jurassic Park. Before I bring up the one segment from Treehouse of Horror episodes this reminds me of. Dog Boy Afternoon is a parody of both Freaky Friday and Pet Sematary respectively.

Fly vs. Fly from Treehouse of Horror VIII is my main example. I mean how the hell could it not be? Both centers on Bart swapping places with a different creature. A major difference being Fly vs. Fly is science fiction while Dog Boy Afternoon more supernatural. I would say this is more mess up than Fly vs. Fly though.

They didn't hold back when they needed to get gory. A regular Simpsons episode I wanna compare is I, (Annoyed Grunt)-bot. Where the Simpsons goes through a couple pets in a single episode. Most of them including the original Snowball II died. I personally don't enjoy this episode for a lot of reasons. The episode ends renaming Snowball V to Snowball II which the cat looked identical.

The final segment is Vehicular Dad Slaughter. Teen versions of Bart and Lisa were in the process getting their driver licenses. They kept wondering where their dad was for seven years? It turns out their twin aunts were witches that worked at the DMV. They get tricked being sent inside driver ed films that end badly.

They guided Homer to escape those films. Their aunts pulls some dirty tricks on the way. Yes they do escape while the aunts gets sent to a section of Hell for terrible DMV employees. I guess constantly causing others to wait in long lines wasn't bad enough. This actually had some creativity to keep things interesting.

Once again I got a couple Treehouse of Horror episodes to compare. Treehouse of Horror VI through Groundskeeper Willie gets killed virtually the same exact way in all three segments. The Terror of Tiny Toons because the same Simpsons kids gets trapped inside television shows. Although that was more playing off science fiction while stretching one's imagination.

In vice versa, this was more on the supernatural side of things. Send in the Clones in Treehouse of Horror XIII was a bit obvious. We see a lot of Homer clones including the real one died the same way. Where the government used helicopters to flew over giant donuts as bait. Tricking Homers to fall over a cliff I bet the aunts loved that!!!

I've Grown a Costume on Your Face from Treehouse of Horror XVI. A witch gets disqualified from a costume content. In rage, she cursed the town of Springfield becoming their costumes. Which ended up backfiring because Maggie dressed up as a witch. The witch indirectly created another witch but a baby one.

Wanted: Dead, The Alive from Treehouse of Horror XXVI has Sideshow Bob repeatedly killing Bart. He does get karma when Homer killed him. Then Bart making some changes caused a revived Sideshow Bob being an abomination. Be Nine, Rewind from Treehouse of Horror XXXI involves both Lisa and Nelson stuck in a death loop.

Which so happened to be Lisa's birthday party. Eventually the two broke the loop to return things back to normal. My main example was Easy-Bake Coven from Treehouse of Horror VIII. Marge gets discovered as a witch. Along with her twin sisters decided to devour children. Then they tried a gingerbread man to start collecting candy from the village.

Thus, suddenly became the first Halloween. A vastly different witch story with the same aunts. It also ends up Homer calling his daughter Lisa a witch. The village starts chasing her following egging his own house out of stupidity. This was a strange spiritual successor to that. I still slightly prefer it over Vehicular Dad Slaughter.

Unexpectedly I got two regular Simpsons episodes to come. Marge and Homer's marriage renewal wasn't official. The couple decides to get married again. The aunts kidnapped Homer in the style of Saw series I wish I was kidding. Days of Future Future being one I couldn't ignore. It's among their What If Future episodes.

In this particular future episode, the original Homer died. Then Professor Frink kept cloning Homer repeatedly. Every single clone dies not long after each other. Then the professor confirmed he can't clone him anymore. Yet he did recreate what essentially was him digitally. Now existing an AI program it's a weird Simpsons episode.

I did enjoy the surprise gore in Vehicular Dad Slaughter. I just wanted things to be a little crazier. It's notably more entertaining as well as harder to predict than Bride's Shed Revisited. It wasn't a bad one to end the Halloween episode on. The actual length was a bit more justified. Honestly, I felt they did a good job with the segment.

Earlier I promised how does this compare to the other 2020 Treehouse of Horror episodes? I would say it's not even close to Treehouse of Horror XXXIII, XXXV and XXXVI respectively. I felt you could stick with that awesome intro with Dog Boy Afternoon you're good. Honestly, it was an alright Halloween episode.

Especially following the newer bonus Halloween Simpsons episode I already reviewed. I felt that's still the best overall Halloween Simpsons story we gotten this year. But it does help this one not sucking as bad as some of the other episodes. I would say you might find some enjoyment. Otherwise it's a tough sell making it 50/50 to watch this Halloween Simpsons episode or not?

My thoughts on Halloween Deathmatch - Live Action! (2026)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, here's an Halloween video I didn't even know was coming. Bat in the Sun whose responsible for Super Power Beat Down made this Halloween video. It's not determined by the amount of votes like their main web show. You can tell the team wanted to do something cool for the holiday.

Halloween Deathmatch - Live Action! (2026)

The video opens up to a small group of people. At first makes you think Jigsaw going to show up on the television. Instead it was The Joker played by Aaron Schoenke. Joker wants to do a crazy kill count game. He unleashed two horror icons in Arkham Asylum to hunt the group down. Before we go any further I really was loving the concept so far.

The two killers stalking them turned out to be Halloween's Michael Myers and CryptTV's The Look-See respectively. Yes one of them does win the game. The camera man might offend some people out there. It's a small guy dressed up as Robin. Majority of the kills are brutal I just find Myers more satisfying to watch.

Joker set some traps that did leave to bad things. The actual video length works amazingly well for this. The first to go was a security guard. Obviously when he fell, the group quickly fell apart. Who knows if Joker planned that or it just happened? It's a crazy game of cat and mouse. There's a twist that literately came out of no where.

Secretly among the group was Predator. Yes the famous alien hunter was actually stalking around invisible. Myers died when he gets upset The Look-See stolen his kill. Some might argue because both done notable harm to the last victim. They both could've tied to win the game. But I doubt Joker would've allowed that though.

What really threw me off is there's another section with Scooby Doo's Daphne and Velma. This time Velma's computer has Jigsaw popped up. They had to face three slasher villains together. Myers gets another go with the other two you may expected. Art the Clown and Ghostface showed up respectively. Velma was kicking ass against them while Daphne does nothing.

Of course, Daphne does eventually help save Velma. The last few minutes felt like it's own video. They clearly threw it in because they weren't done with the holiday. I would've preferred that would've been it's own video. The sudden change of plot with characters might cause confusion it sure did for me. But it still was a surprisingly awesome section of the video.

How does all this madness ends? Well the two ladies gets it on I'm serious!!! Jigsaw even wanted to watch that lol. I did prefer Joker being the host it just works better overall. I'm also glad Velma show versions weren't used either. I think the joke is they made these ladies into hunters. Although, they were discussing cases before three slashers came at them.

I would say most of the video works well. I did like they didn't waste time when it's not necessary. Like milking suspense that quickly takes away from a great kill scene. I can't say this felt like a horror movie but the plot itself is used a lot within the genre. This felt more like something Joker could've done if Batman wasn't involve or prevented the Dark Knight from rescuing the group.

I actually would be interested if they revisit the concept in the near future. Maybe go even crazier than last time I'll watch that!!! Also Myers was done better than Halloween Ends!!! You can tell they put a lot of time into this Halloween video. Even the little things you might notice kinda start sticking with you.

Honestly, it was a rather entertaining video even if it doesn't get a follow up. The first group is more what you would expect of most Silent Hill protagonists. They are just normal people for the most part that had troubled pasts. The last duo was more like Resident Evil protagonists. They had experience that was too prepared for anything.

I also wanted to say a week before Halloween with my possible current plans was a nice surprise. The first group was in a crazy escape location game. The last duo was about to get ambushed. Jigsaw usually really looks into people. I doubt he would've just attempt capturing them. Despite the actual intention in the video is to kill the ladies.

It is very possible a lot of multiplayer horror games with a similar concept could've inspired the video. This might've been an idea a small group of people quickly got ideas to make into what we have here. Who really knows what led to this video's creation? What we do know is Halloween Deathmatch is a decent Halloween video that was both clever as well as creative.
