MIST1026/CXC-SUNTAX25F
Mistigram: this one goes out to everyone out there with a splitting headache this Friday the 13th! The #ANSIart screen, "Skull the Syntax", was drawn by CoaXCable to compete in the textmode art compo at the Syntax 2025 demoparty just about a year ago, where it won third place. It was also included in the spooky new MIST1026 artpack collection!

MIST1026/CODEFENIX-THEHORROR
Mistigram: for some people it's not the creepy spooks or the reveling in morbid blasphemy but the incredible diabetic shock to healthy blood sugar levels that is the most terrifying part of Halloween. #CandyCorn can be particularly polarizing -- maybe kernels of it are still hiding in your home? This #ANSIart screen was drawn by Codefenix and included in the spooky new MIST1026 artpack collection.

MIST1026/BLIPPYPIXEL-PUMPKIN
Mistigram: in addition to designing teletext and hirez graphics screens, @blippypixel is not above occasionally writing a mini program to draw an image or animation (as this is, if your platform allows GIFs) using the #BBCBASIC that shipped on the #BBCMicro. This jolly #JackOLantern was included in the spooky new MIST1026 artpack collection.

MIST1026/POGESOFT_SUCH_SIGHTS
Mistigram: In their artpack debut, ZZT game developer PogeSoft graced our spooky new MIST1026 collection with this #ANSIart portrait of #FrankCotton at the end of #Hellraiser. "Jesus wept." (This screen was manually adapted by The Green Herring.)
MIST1026/MIST1026.NFO
Mistigram: This adorable little #ASCIIart bat was drawn, caught in mid-flap, by Mozz and used as an infofile header in the spooky new MIST1026 artpack collection. Eep eep eep!

MIST1026/THE_WAR_ON_CHRISTMAS-VERMIS_TRIBUTE
Mistigram: This grim #blockASCII (monochrome #ANSIart) adaptation of an illustration from #Plastiboo's imaginary video game strategy guide #VERMIS 1 was drawn by The War On Christmas and included in the spooky new MIST1026 artpack collection.
"A corpse kneels beside a well,
mesmerized by the reflection of its living flesh.
It wonders what could have been
done and could have been.
And for as long as the moon shines,
the feeble illusion will prevail."
MIST1026/BLIPPYPIXEL-AGI
Mistigram: this animated (where supported) #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen by @blippypixel is called AGI, metaphorically comparing the AI holy grail of Artificial General Intelligence to a poorly-understood dark art like alchemy or witchcraft. It was included in the spooky new MIST1026 artpack collection.
