Blockchain company BurntBanksy recently bought a $95,000 Banksy artwork, just to set it on fire! The goal was to take art in the physical world and bring in into the digital world as something called an NFT (non-fungible token).
The company stated “We view this burning event as an expression of art itself, and we specifically chose a Banksy piece since he has previously shredded one of his own artworks at an auction.”
The company is selling the piece on an NFT website called OpenSea, where the current offer is on 2 ETH ($7,357).deftly turning 95 grand into 7 like any crypto scheme worth it’s salt
love that it happened to a banksy piece too! clown on clown violence
Casual reminder, they did not “bring it into the digital world”. An NFT is not an image. An NFT is a receipt on the blockchain, that attributes ownership of that image to a specific person. They minted an NFT out of an image of the painting, and then they destroyed the painting. That’s the story. The painting no longer exists.

Put a little horror in YOUR holidays!
Note: Permanent link availability is NOT GUARANTEED, but this list has been updated as of December 15, 2019. Some of these links are for TubiTV–which requires signing up–but it’s totally free, and available as an app for IOS, Android, Xbox Live, and the PlayStation Network).
IMPORTANT: While Christmas-related, these are still horror films. Thus, these films may contain:
- Violence
- Blood/gore
- Jump scares
- Nudity
- Adult language
- Adult situations
- Sexual content
- Staged/fake harm to animals
As I have not seen all of them, I cannot attest to the quality of each and every one, nor all potentially triggering/upsetting content. However, where I can, I will add warnings for certain situations (such as sexual assault), and I will add one of these four ratings:
- 🎅👌 = Recommended viewing.
- 🎁 = Take a look–you may find it enjoyable.
- 🦃 = A real turkey. Avoid at all costs.
- 🍻 = So bad, it’s actually good. Have the beers ready for spontaneous drinking games.
Additional ratings:
- 😺👍= No animal death.

I can tell you something about this place. The boys around here call it “The Black Lagoon” - a paradise. Only they say nobody has ever come back to prove it.
