Even though "Left 4 Dead 2" was initially released by the Valve Corporation way back in 2009, plenty of "Left 4 Dead" fans still get to enjoy the second installment of the "Left 4 Dead" franchise because of fresh content that continuously gets added into the game.

For the month of November, one "Left 4 Dead" modder continued to add fresh content that players can enjoy in the game. The new mods includes well-known weapons used by famous Hollywood bad guys.

Modder Yogensia has been creating "Left 4 Dead" mods since 2012, and ever since then,  he has created at least 40 different weapons that are well-known in Hollywood history. Some of Yogensia's most popular mod weapons are Harley Quinn's Suicide Squad baseball bat, a candy cane shotgun, and a Rickenbacker 4001 bass guitar.

For this Halloween season, Yogensia decided to add the iconic axe used in "The Shining," as well as Jason Voorhees' machete in "Friday the 13th." To create these extremely detailed mod weapons, Yogensia worked with Renato Carvalho, Maksymilian Genewicz, and Rafael De Jongh.

Despite having only two weapon mods for "Left 4 Dead 2" this Halloween, Yogensia expressed that he will continue to create more mods. "I still enjoy the idea of adding new [mods]. It's all about finding something that piques my interest and matches my skills, then finding free time to work on it," Yogensia said.

Furthermore, it is said that Yogensia is currently working on a new weapon mod for "Left 4 Dead 2." The "Left 4 Dead" modder hinted that he has a plan to create a weapon from hit TV series, "The Walking Dead." Speculations suggest that Yogensia will be creating Negan's baseball bat "Lucile," and that the weapon is now undergoing the planning and designing phase. However, there is still no news as to when new mods will be released for "Left 4 Dead 2."
