Netflix releases 8-bit inspired Castlevania trailer

It’s a long running joke that Netflix runs on nearly any consumer device, including a toaster. What if Netflix ran on an original NES console, and you had to blow on a cartridge to boot it up? The first teaser trailer for the hyper violent animated adaptation of Castlevania imagines just that!

Inspired by the classic video game series, Castlevania is a dark medieval fantasy following the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepe himself. The animated series is from Frederator Studios, a Wow! Unlimited Media company, written by best-selling author and comic book icon Warren Ellis and executive produced by Warren Ellis, Kevin Kolde, Fred Seibert and Adi Shankar.

Will you be checking out the Castlevania series July 7?
