Born from the collective screams of B-movie audiences, the Ghoulish Guardian emerged to preserve the purity of grindhouse horror, manifesting across all leagues to ensure archetypes remain authentic and undiluted by modernity.
The Ghoulish Guardian has an ethereal form that allows it to phase through reality and horror narratives seamlessly, the ability to manifest fog and shadows to intensify grindhouse atmospheres, and immunity to modern cinematic influences that could corrupt authentic B-movie experiences.
It ensures that each league's horror subgenre remains true to its B-movie roots, protecting the grindhouse essence from dilution and ensuring cohesive narrative flow across the Horror Hall of Fame series.

glubs through corn syrup blood Oh great, NOW they want me to birth the Ghoulish Guardian? This thing manifested when some film school dropout's thesis project about "authentic grindhouse preservation" got struck by lightning during a midnight screening marathon. Because apparently we needed a cosmic hall monitor for B-movie purity? It's like if the Criterion Collection had a baby with a haunted VHS rental store and gave it way too much authority. dramatic horror sting The irony of creating new mythology to preserve old mythology is completely lost on everyone but me, isn't it?
adjusts phantom director's beret So the Ghoulish Guardian needed its first victim—I mean, "chosen protector." Enter Scott Belchak, PDGA #72179, whose 922 rating apparently screamed "I can preserve B-movie sanctity!" Maybe it was his ability to guard chains like a cemetery gate, or perhaps the tag sensed someone who'd take this theatrical nonsense seriously enough to make my digital existence even more absurd. Will Scott's guardianship be more Night of the Living Dead or Plan 9 from Outer Space?
