Hey 'Gasmheads!
As of this writing, we're $44k USD away from our goal with 4 days left! It's coming down to the wire but we are confident we can do it! To really encourage people to support the film we decided to give EVERY SINGLE BACKER a signed thank-you note from one of the cast! So that means all of you current backers, plus all our new ones, will in the near future get a letter in the mail from one of the cast members thanking you for your support. We just need to meet our goal to make this happen!
4 days left = $11k a day. It's doable!!!
Matt Heafy Guitar Auction
One of our last-minute initiatives to help us reach our goal comes to us from our amazing composer Matt Heafy. He's offering up one of his custom Epiphone Les Paul guitars autographed by his entire band Trivium! How fucking cool is that?
This one-of-a-kind offering is now up for auction at: https://ravenbanner.store/products/matt-heafy-guitar. The winning bidder gets to decide on a white guitar signed in black ink, or a black guitar signed in silver ink. Good luck to all of you who bid!
DOUBLE DONG THURSDAY
Oh, and just a friendly reminder that today at 6pm EST the ACTUAL DOUBLE DONG from Deathgasm will be up for grabs on our Kickstarter. To date, all our other props have been snatched up within minutes. We suspect this double-ender will go fast too.
But in case you miss out, DEATHGASM 2 PROPS are currently available on our Kickstarter for only $800! Sure you don't know what those props are yet, but guaranteed you'll be getting something equally cool and one-of-a-kind to show off to all your friends!
LASTLY
Check out this upcoming Kickstarter from our friends...
Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula introduced arguably the most famous character in horror literature, but the seminal story leaves much of the Count’s rich history and persona to the imagination. Now legendary GRENDEL creator Matt Wagner and superstar comic book artist Kelley Jones (BATMAN & DRACULA: RED RAIN, SANDMAN: SEASON OF MISTS) are revealing the secret history of Dracula in a series of all-new, 100+page graphic novels. Beginning with DRACULA—BOOK 1: THE IMPALER, this series of books will fill in these tantalizing gaps to provide a terrifying portrait of Vlad Dracula. For their first-ever major collaboration, Wagner and Jones are launching a Kickstarter campaign with their brand-new company, Orlok Press. Follow the Kickstarter page to get an alert when DRACULA: BOOK I—THE IMPALER launches.
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW!

Hey Everyone!
We had a great weekend, meeting then surpassing our goal of hitting $200k by the end of Sunday night. That means everyone who pledged $25 or more Fri, Sat & Sunday or who upped their pledge by $10 more is getting a free Deathgasm 2 patch.
We're currently at 76% with 7 days left and still have some great initiatives planned to hit our goal. Confidence is high we can do this!
Original Deathgasm Props Sale
We wanted to hold an auction for some original Deathgasm 2 props, but it turns out it was a bit more of a complicated process than we imagined, so we're going to offer them up here as Add-Ons - with a new prop showing up each day at 6pm EST until the end of our campaign. They're one-of-a-kind, so once they're gone they're gone!
The props & dates available are:
TODAY - Dion's D&D DIE - the one stuck up his nose
WEDNESDAY - The ANAL BEADS wielded by Zakk
THURSDAY - The DOUBLE DONG wielded by Brodie
FRIDAY - The REALISTIC COCK that Zakk used to kill Brodie's Uncle
FRIDAY - The TWO DILDOS that Brodie used to kill his Aunt
SATURDAY - The HAXANSWORD record that belonged to Rikki Daggers
SUNDAY - Brodie's JEAN JACKET VEST
Again, these are the actual props & wardrobe from the original Deathgasm film. The winning backer will get the item along with a Certificate of Authenticity from the filmmakers.
SHOUTOUT!
We want to give a shoutout to the team over at Spectropia Studios who currently have a really cool augmented reality ghost-hunting experience campaign going on right now that sounds scary as shit. You can go check them out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/scrylight/scrylight-an-augmented-reality-ghost-hunt-horror-experience
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW!
CUSTOM DEATHGASM 2 EPIPHONE GUITAR - NEW REWARD ADDED!!
about 1 year ago
– Sat, Oct 14, 2023 at 12:09:29 PM
Hey 'Gasmheads!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
We're hard at work here ensuring we meet our goal in 9 days! And to that end, we're thrilled to announce a New Reward has just been added! Our amazing composer Matt Heafy connected us with his people at Gibson and they've agreed to make us a CUSTOM DEATHGASM 2 EPIPHONE LES PAUL GUITAR!!
This bad boy is now available as a Reward along with other perks or as an individual Add-On at a reasonably priced $500! This guitar, featuring the teaser art by Matt Ryan Tobin, will ONLY be available here on Kickstarter - so once our campaign ends, your chance to buy one ends.
The image you see is just a mock-up. We're going to refine it a bit to make it even more kick-ass, but it will feature the double zombie finger/tombstone art on the front, and the full poster with tagline and title treatment on the back.
So if you're a guitar player/collector (or just a die-hard Deathgasm fan) we hope you grab one of these while you can, plug 'er in, and crank that amp to 13!!
TALK SOON!
$200k Goal + Friday the 13th Add-On Special
about 1 year ago
– Fri, Oct 13, 2023 at 07:54:56 AM
Happy Friday the 13th Everyone!
At the time of this writing, we have 11 days left and we're at $178k. So we want to hit (and hopefully surpass) $200k by the end of this weekend. To encourage this, we're once again offering an awesome patch FOR FREE! All new backers $25 and over, and current Tier 1+ backers who increase their pledge by $10 will be sent this patch for free once we're fully funded. The design of this patch is based on the Deathgasm 2 teaser poster made by Matt Ryan Tobin, and is in a cool tombstone shape.
POLAROID ADD-ON SALE!
To also help us hit our goal this weekend we've slashed the price of our One-of-a-Kind Polaroid from Set reward. You can now include it as an Add-On for $66 this weekend only! The idea of this reward is simple - you will receive a unique Polaroid Camera still taken behind-the-scenes during the filming of Deathgasm 2 of something interesting - Kim getting ready to wield an axe, James trying on wardrobe, Milo stuffing his face at the craft table while covered in blood, director Jason Howden yelling at someone. Whatever it is, it'll be a moment in time captured on glorious Polaroid film during the filming of the sequel that only you will own and cherish until the end of days. Or until you sell it on eBay. So grab yours today!
THAT'S IT FOR NOW!
Thanks again everyone for your amazing support!
SOUNDTRACK on CD + ORIGINAL DEATHGASM PROPS + NEARING 1000 BACKERS!
about 1 year ago

Hey Gang!
Hope everyone is doing great!
By request, we've just added the Soundtrack on CD to our Rewards and Add-Ons. So now you can listen to Matt Heafy's score and the Various Artists that'll be featured in the film on crystal clear mini laser discs! Have at 'er!
DEATHGASM ORIGINAL PROPS
Director Jason Howden just made a cool little unboxing video of some of the original props used in Deathgasm. They have been sitting in a box in storage collecting dust since 2014, but now he's going to share them with the world. What does that mean?? Are we implying that there's going to be an auction for them on Raven Banner's store sometime next week? Maybe...
1000 BACKERS! SORT OF...
WOW! We're nearing 1000 backers! We should hopefully pass that mark sometime tomorrow. But what we really want to hit is 1500 before the end of the campaign, so we're cooking up a nice little freebie reward to get us there. More on that in an upcoming update!
TALK SOON!
