Before a dark and moody backdrop are visible cursive letters spelling out The Masque Of The Red Death, all captured in an ornate grey frame

Mistigram: here's Lobo/Spitoufs' #ANSIart cover page to #EdgarAllanPoe's #MasqueOfTheRedDeath, part of their #ANSIPOE collection illustrating Poe's complete works for BBS-based consumption. They were all included in the MIST1017 artpack collection released 8 years ago this month.

The tiny silhouette of a human is seen raising a torch aloft in a large darkened chamber, unable to perceive that the curled stalagmites around him on the cavern floor are actually tentacular appendages attached to the red-eyed face of the molluscoid giant peering down on him contemptuously

Mistigram: this #teletext illustration of a hapless explorer blundering into the tentacles of a Great Old One (hm, what's in this cave? Smells... fishy!) was drawn by Uglifruit and included in the spooky MIST1020 artpack collection released five years ago this month.

In an underground cave laboratory, a blonde doctor in deep shadow brandishes a hypodermic syringe at an unwholesome protoplasmic mass sitting on a stainless steel countertop in front of colourful tubes of mysterious bubbling fluids.

Mistigram: this creepy #PETSCII illustration, depicting the mad scientist subject of the 1922 #HPLovecraft story #HerbertWestReanimator, was created by bnjmnbrgmn and included in the spooky MIST1021 artpack collection released four years ago this month. (Not long after, it could be viewed natively on #C64 machines in "The Nameless PETSCII" slideshow.)

Three jack o lanterns (pumpkins carved with faces) glow in the darkness with friendly, silly faces carved into them, illuminated by candles positioned within their hollowed shells.

Mistigram: from the MIST1022 artpack collection released three years ago, here's a very jolly and atmospheric #ANSIart illustration of some merry #jackolantern action down at the pumpkin patch, drawn by LDA.

A flock of bats flies through the moody night sky between a hilltop castle and a full moon, radiating moonbows.

Mistigram: a flock of bats flutters from the haunted towers of a castle out into the moonlight over the moorland. This #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen was made by

blippypixel and included in the spooky MIST1023 artpack collection released two years ago this month.

A four-armed, four-legged skeleton stands spread-eagle in a square in a circle.

Mistigram: #LeonardoDaVinci used his #VitruvianMan design to model ideal human proportions, but

littlebitspace found there was still one small area for improvement, and stripped the obfuscating flesh from those big, beautiful bones in this #teletext adaptation, included in last year's spooky MIST1024 artpack collection.

A young woman in shorts and a slip sits in a darkened computer room, lit solely by the illumination provided by the display.

Mistigram: around the turn of the century Cthulu would make his way to the West End apartment of

blaine and

maureen and they would have late-night, all-night binges on curated cultural selections. For a time it was Kieślowski's Dekalog, and later it was the subject of this #ANSIart illustration, 1998's #SerialExperimentsLain series. This portrait of #LainIwakura and #theWired was included in last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

A man with piercing, eagle eyes gazes out from beneath a purple face shield, part of a condor-themed helmet.

Mistigram: depending on which localisation of #Gatchaman you watched, you may know this character as George Asakura, Dirk Daring, or Joe the Condor.

horsenburger knew him from #BattleOfThePlanets, so he drew this #teletext portrait of Jason. This screen was included in last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

A dour panda bear surveys a situation with squinty eyes and a frown before a blue background.

Mistigram: this #ANSIart portrait of the accursed #GenmaSaotome (the world's unhappiest #panda) from the #Ranma12 manga was drawn by

zeusii for use on the #anime-themed Shurato's Heavenly Sphere (SHS) BBS. It was included in last year's MIST-30 artpack collection.

A spooky piece of fruit boasts human facial features

Mistigram:

mcfresher drew this #UTF8 #textmode illustration of a #beherit from #Berserk, titled Griffith Did Nothing Wrong. It was included in last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

A biker catches a glowing speck in his red-gloved hands, before the ruins of Neo-Tokyo s 2020 Olympic village.

Mistigram: If last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection hadn't contained a piece of fanart for #KatsuhiroOtomo's #Akira, it would simply have been incomplete. Cthulu had to oblige, adapting this late scene of biker #Kaneda and the film's logo to #ANSIart.

A noseless ambulatory suit of armor gazes thoughtfully over your shoulder with its glowing-eyed toothy visage, while reflecting something menacingly red from off on the side.

Mistigram:

zeusii drew this #ANSIart illustration of #AlphonseElric from #HiromuArakawa's #FullmetalAlchemist manga as a menu for the #anime-themed Shurato's Heavenly Sphere BBS. It was included in last year's MIST-30 artpack collection.

A beefy bald tough guy, grimacing in Mad Max post-apocalyptic motorcycle riding leathers, rushes to hold both sides of his skull together with his massive meaty gloved paws as an unstoppable geyser of bright orange blood sprays forth under incredible pressure from a hundred fissures in his cranium. Dozens of tiny streams of it trickle down his face.

Mistigram: Cthulu will never forget walking into the repertory cinema in downtown Vancouver's theatre row circa 1995 and taking in a triple feature for $5. The first movie was The Crow, and the second was the hitherto unknown #FistOfTheNorthStar, or #HokutoNoKen. Once you see this flick, you never forget it (unlike whatever the third movie on the bill was), so when it was time to draw some #ANSIart for last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection, he knew where he had to go. (He uncharacteristically drew so much ANSI for this pack, sometimes his head felt like this guy's.)

A big-haired man sits back, smoking a cigarette and saying Whatever happens, happens... beneath him, a spaceship in red flies in space with planets behind it. Underneath it all, industrial white letters read Let s Jam against a red backdrop.

Mistigram: returning once more to the #anime #CowboyBebop, this suite of mini #ANSIart illustrations on the subject was drawn by ConsoleJockey and included in last year's MIST-30 artpack collection.

A glasses-wearing young man goes outside, sees a yellow butterfly fluttering by and inquires whether it is an ANSI. (As it so happens, it is.)

Mistigram: you've all seen the meme - the android #YutaroKatori from the 1991 #TheBraveOfSunFighbird series points at a butterfly and asks if it's a pigeon? But you've never seen it drawn before by LDA in #ANSIart. This was included in last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack.

A little red fishgirl tucks herself in beneath the kaleidoscopic semitransparent membrane of a jellyfish.

Mistigram: from the film-themed MIST0920 artpack collection released five years ago, here's a #Lego #pixelart mosaic, made by

farrell_lego, depicting #Ponyo taking a nap beneath a jellyfish from the 2008 #StudioGhibli #anime of the same name.

An oceanic hybrid hover jet racer wears yellow racing goggles.

Mistigram: this #teletext portrait of #SonosheeMcLaren from #TakeshiKoike's 2009 #Redline was drawn by

atonalosprey for last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

An angry little black piglet hunkers down before red starbursts, ready to throw down.

Mistigram: this #ANSIart portrait of #Ranma's #RyogaHibiki as #PChan the piglet was drawn by

zeusii for Martin Kazmaier's #anime-themed Shurato's Heavenly Sphere BBS. It was included in last year's MIST-30 artpack collection.

An idol in fancy dress wipes blood off of her face.

Mistigram: this #ANSIart portrait of #MimaKirigoe from #SatoshiKon's 1997 #PerfectBlue was drawn by Cthulu and included in last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

A colourful robot with a dangling antenna prepares to share some critical output with a wall full of machinery and panels behind it.

Mistigram: This #teletext portrait of the robot #7Zark7 introduced to #BattleOfThePlanets was drawn by

horsenburger and included in last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.
