June 18th, 2009 1:50 amBrilliant art work! I like the wallpaper taken from “Silent Hill”, there’s a lot of texture on this wallpaper.
shreela
June 18th, 2009 1:59 amgod! my head is reeling after looking at these. Few of these like demon forever and Tamayo museum are downright sickening. yuck!
I liked “the black cat” and “reflections” . “Ashes and memories” is subtle yet dark.
….But whats the mcdonald baby doing in here? hehe..funny

June 18th, 2009 2:23 amto be honest: boring and not very interesting. surely a lot of work gathering those, but hmm again no smashing-mag-level.
Leonard
June 18th, 2009 2:54 amDoes feel like a filler article… what I want to know is how much did someone got paid for writing this?
Kevin
June 18th, 2009 3:00 amSorry, but this one really was a wasted post. I have been a fan now for a while but if this is the direction the site is going…. then I will take my reading somewhere else. Nice attempt, but it really looks like someone was hard up for some content…….. Thanks for the effort…..
Urfa
June 18th, 2009 3:02 amThese wallpapers are quite amazing, specially “Master Of Fire” and “Bleeding Angel” are mindblowing, thank you for these lovely wallpapers.
valcoholic
June 18th, 2009 3:07 amthis is a bad selection. i love horror but i wouldn’t use any of those wallpapers. many of them are lacking in style and/or technique and i got no clue why they’re appearing on smashingmag.
Andy Morrow
June 18th, 2009 3:10 amThis is a brilliant selection! Thank you so much for this! Ignore the na-sayers, some really awesome wallpapers in there! Keep up the great work!

June 18th, 2009 3:12 amYou forgot to mention the wallpaper from the movie Död Snö.

June 18th, 2009 3:25 amWhy is this on SmashingMag? Come on, guys… This is really low quality.
loop26
June 18th, 2009 3:30 amsorry that´s not smashing magazine quality as we know it. But only my opinion
Anton
June 18th, 2009 3:42 amNice collection! Baby Ronald is the scariest one! :)
I think one named “Girl” is of Monica Belucci, in “The Grimm Brothers” movie. And the one named “Horror Wallpaper” is Balrog, from “The Lord of the Rings” movie.

sorry but these pictures/Wallpapers what ever are useless imho.
And many of them are not really good..

June 18th, 2009 3:54 amThis article is beneath smashingmag standard:
Nearly no Wallpaper in Full HD! Sorry, but this is a no-go.
I love smashingmag wallpaper galleries but this one isn’t what makes me happy.
But keep up your great work. Smashingmag rocks!

June 18th, 2009 4:24 amIch bin zum ersten mal richtig enttäuscht von smashingmagazine.com.
Die Auswahl an stümperhaften Photoshopcollagen ist in ihrer Anzahl nur noch durch ihre Laienhaftigkeit zu überbieten.
Ich finde es schade das Inhalt nur um des Inhaltswillen publiziert wird. Die Artikel hatten wenigstens bis jetzt immer Substanz, auch wenn man mal etwas länger warten muss.
Zorgatos
June 18th, 2009 4:26 amFor great “Creepy” artwork you should look for Heavy Metal bands. There’s some great art!
Simon Day
June 18th, 2009 4:33 amI think for many people here few of those are of any use. I know I stopped using 1024 about 5 years ago and many of those are based around those low resolutions…

June 18th, 2009 7:34 amI LOVE horror…but….
seriously? The Hellraiser/Freddy wallpapers that look like they’re made by a 12 year old?
Seriously?
Dman
June 18th, 2009 8:23 amI’m not a horror wallpaper fan but I liked 70% of what I saw there. Guess the naysayers are simply extreme horror lovers who have seen every piece of horror art under the moon and are very critical OR they simply don’t like horror wallpaper and are expressing their displeasure in a general sense.

June 18th, 2009 10:08 amI think you guys need to stop posting ‘lists’ of artwork.
its always work that is complete garbage. stick with the web trends, those articles are amazing. or at least get somebody with an eye to build up these lists.

June 18th, 2009 5:39 pmI’m beginning to see a trend here: every 4 or 5 good/great articles, we get “smashed” in the face with a real dud!
And, are those just movie screengrabs? Ugh.

David
June 22nd, 2009 8:45 pmnot a very smashing post from you guys….i can only ask why? with all the great artwork from so many great artist why would you want to show this type of post. Everything has it’s place and this has always been a place i come for inspiration and cool tips/stuff. Today I come to this garbage.
thatmediaguy
June 23rd, 2009 6:15 pmlong time reader first time poster, and I am posting for a reason. These are horrible and really well below the standards of the smashing magazine that I love. I am not sure what you were thinking, by including this garbage.
Handpicked? By who? Fire them, or send them to design school.

September 30th, 2009 12:45 amA week’s ban for everybody who complained, probably all the small minded web designers who want to pop one off to more 2.0 regurgitation.
Believe it or not there are actually people who can design for many different media’s.
This post would appeal to many a digital artist’s, myself included that love to create image manipulations of this genre to unleash some out of the box creativity that gets boxed up during the week of client based web \ graphic designs.
Some selfish designers out there.
Smash Mag forever!!!

October 13th, 2009 6:37 ami liked “chewing gum” and “dead silence” much more.
according to my perception most of wallpapers are flamboyant and they have no meaning.
