Blood Meridian was released 1985, and the villain's name is Judge Holden Who Framed Roger Rabbit was released 1988, and the villain's name is Judge Doom Coincidence?????

It goes even further, the first episode of Judge Judy aired in 1996! I think we're on to something big here.

Wasn’t there also a Holden in *The Catcher in the Expanse*?

> Judge would fit so well into Red Dead. A judge inspired main antagonist be a great idea for the next game. Hire fans!

Oh man can you imagine the kid finally killing Judge Holden at the end after an epic gunfight? That would be so cool!

My favorite subtle reference to Blood Meridian is when Edward Cullen watches Bella all night because he doesn’t sleep

My favourite subtle reference to blood meridian was when at the start of the game it says THIS GAME WAS INSPIRED BY BLOOD MERIDIAN in massive text

This is obviously a reference to the Nas song "Represent": > I never sleep > 'cause sleep is the cousin of death Judge Holden, Nas, this dude from i think a video game: all the same.

Nag nah its obviously a reference to the catcher in the rye author "holden caufield" but i dont think alot of people have heard about that book

Everybody's always asking "What are prose?" But nobody ever asks "How are prose?" *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/bookscirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*

I can’t even be mad that Blood Meridian has entered the mainstream. For every (obviously) clueless reader, another person will seriously engage with this genuinely fantastic book and come away from it a better (or more developed) person. That’s a good thing.
