It was during one of my late night insomniac web surfing sessions that I first came across a very peculiar website called RavensBlight. When I came across it, I knew that I had found something really special. An ode to all things spooky and horrible. Here you will find anything and everything you could possibly want for your horror pleasure! A plethora of horror, all created and maintained by Atist, Musician, Filmmaker and Mad Scientist, Ray O’Bannon.
Mr. O’Bannon has over 300 images to view in his art gallery, such as the one above. Some are painted, some drawn…..there’s color photography as well as black and white photography, not to mention photos of some sculptures and even jewelry that he has made! His art is varied, yet still maintains a certain fantastic Halloween vibe. You know when you’re looking at one of Ray’s pieces.
Art is but one part of the website experience. Ray wanted his visitors to be able to come away from the page with more than just a memory of what they had seen, so he created a virtual free toy shop, in which you can download a TON of different paper-craft toys. My personal favorite is The SplatterBot! A rusted, bio mechanical horror that is not only fun to put together, but also looks great hanging out on my desk! Not much of a toy person? Like board games? Well, why not try out Midnight Banshees?
Paper Toys and games not your thing at all? More of a video game kinda person? Ray’s got you covered! You can jump on over to the Arcade and download titles such as Zombie Alley, Grave Island and The Tomb of Count Yargle. Good stuff and just the thing for when you’re looking for a fun horror game to bide your time!Those are just three of the almost two dozen films available to download! If you loved them like I did, then head on over to RavensBlight and make sure to tell him that The Wizard of Vestron sent ya!

I too love the works of Ray O'Bannon. In fact it's inspired me for a project I hope to share with the world on October of 2014. I first came across Ray's work in 2008 and then in 2010 I had the opportunity to do an interview with him to learn more about the maniacal mind behind these fabulous creations. Being a fan I assume it's okay to share that with you here… http://youtu.be/pkG9AONgTNQ?t=2m42s
