Check out the first episode of Castlevania: Hymn of Blood

The Big Cheese.

We still don’t have a live-action Castlevania film. So what can us ‘vaniacs settle for? Well, leave it to other die-hard fans to put together a live-action series celebrating the storied franchise! This fan-made, live-action ‘vania series is titled “Hymn of Blood” and the first episode is now out thanks to IGN’s START video channel on Youtube. This should not be ignored.

For something fan-made, the production quality here is pretty incredible. I don’t really like how Dracula looks like here, but that’s just a small issue, and my only one. Despite that, everything else was awesome to see, and makes me want a live-action film even more.

Creepy Castle? Check. Baby Simon Belmont? Check. Hell, they even have the ferryman (pictured above)! I can’t wait to see the upcoming episodes, especially after seeing the mini-trailer at the end. Gotta whip it good.

    Looking good! I’ll be waiting for the next episodes. Thanks for sharing it, If I didn’t know this website I’d be pretty clueless about what’s coming as horror-related (except for video games).

    I’m kind of thankful that we haven’t had a feature length Castlevania movie. I’ve heard Paul W.S. Anderson has the rights and I just know that wouldn’t go well. He’s like the new Uwe Boll.

    For a fan made series, it’s done pretty well! I’m just glad we have a live action anything Castlevania. Been waiting on a movie for several years now, so I’ll gladly take this. Also, 2nd episode is out, and new episodes premiere every Tuesday at noon pacific time.
