This was probably the most fun I had making sounds for something.

This reminds me of the hands in Monster Bash. This could be one of those amusing and entertaining actors for Heretic and Hexen.

I could imagine walking through a graveyard and see this random AF head just rolling around. I'd laugh my butt off.

Great job!

This is really silly and not really very Doom style, but it is well done

It's like something from Evil Dead - I wish I could kick it!

When it comes to gore props, we usually stick with Doom, Raven or Strife style. A Blood Zombie head would have very limited use in the main games. Do you think you could replace it with a zombie head from Doom?

Figured that might be the case honestly lol. Still, the head was just perfect as is that I wanted to use it either way.
I'll see if I can make some Doom versions of the head. Former human, shotgun boi, and big chaingun dude will probably be the three. I'll also try to make some edits to keep the fire deaths. Not sure on the melting yet, but we'll see.
Would it be acceptable if I made Doom versions of the head that this Blood style one could still be included in the pack? Or would you rather not have the Blood head at all?

Yeah, it could be included in a pack with the others.

Updated

Now includes heads from the three main zombies in Doom. Former Human, Former Sargent, and Former Commando.
They all have an alternate fire death, hop around instead of roll, and they have Doom sound clips to keep things fitting.

haha I love this, seeing them hop around looks a bit silly but still a great idea

Would love to see a version that enables Former Humans to get decapitated when killed and spawn the corresponding head which then attacks the player. Ofc then it wouldn't be prop anymore... well here's another idea if you wanna keep them as props: make them kickable just like in Blood ::

Currently I have some life stuff going on, so not much time to spend on this and other submissions. But when I have time again I will see about how to make them kickable because that does sound really fun!
For now, I am happy with how they are now. If there is any other feedback on changes though, please let me know and I'll update this when I have time again.
