After the less-than-amicable split between DOOM Eternal composer Mick Gordon and Bethesda, it was a question of who would replace Gordon in the upcoming “The Ancient Gods” DLC expansion. Well, who better to conduct a sonic assault in a shooter than someone who’s been doing that for more than a while? That’s right, Andrew Hulshult,

Bill Skarsgård had been set to star alongside his brother Alexander Skarsgård in Robert Eggers‘ (The Witch, The Lighthouse) new movie The Northman, but those plans have unfortunately changed.

Things are getting wacky in the latest trailer for Devolver Digital’s upcoming Serious Sam 4. Well, wackier than what’s normal for the series.

Back in July, Early Morning Studio had announced that their throwback RPG Vampire’s Fall: Origins would be headed to the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch this Fall.

Systemic Reaction’s co-op shooter Second Extinction made an appearance at Gamescom this past weekend, where the devs dropped some short-but-sweet new gameplay footage for the game, which is also currently gearing up for its Early Access release later this month. The gameplay reveal admittedly doesn’t show nearly enough of what sounds like an exciting title.

The horror genre can, at turns, provide a much-needed escape from the world we live in, as well as an opportunity to directly confront our anxieties about those very real ills. Throughout the month of September, new movies, TV shows, mini-series and video games are giving all of us horror fans something to look forward

Those who were bummed that Capcom didn’t make an appearance this past weekend at Gamescom will be pleased to learn that not only will Capcom be at TGS 2020, but they’ll be bringing along Resident Evil Village to the event.

Modus Games and developer We Create Stuff revealed In Sound Mind back in June.

Who doesn’t love a dose of Lovecraftian horror? Well, how about tossing it into some Cyberpunk? That’s what Iceberg Interactive and developer Stormling Studios are doing with their upcoming game Transient, which is due out for PC via Steam in October, followed by PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2021. In fact, there’s a demo

The majority of movies that had been set for release in 2020 became the victims of unfortunate circumstance when the COVID-19 pandemic made its way across the world early in the year, with many pushed off the calendar completely. Others were released right before theaters were forced to close their doors or are now coming

From atomic monsters to “nature attacks” features, horror has long explored humankind’s effect on the environment. As natural disasters seem to be on the upswing, it’s no surprise that eco-based horror is also on the rise. The latest centers around fracking, the controversial technique in which water, sand, and chemicals are injected into shale rock

It’s hard to pin down what kind of film The Block Island Sound is, but that’s actually a large part of its appeal. The film hails from siblings Kevin & Matthew McManus, who were responsible for Netflix’s short-lived two season wonder American Vandal. Anyone familiar with that surprisingly smart and complex series won’t be surprised to

Huge, most excellent news heading into the weekend with Orion’s highly anticipated Bill & Ted Face the Music now in theaters/drive-ins and on VOD platforms. Being a massive Wyld Stallyns fan myself, I’ve been watching all streaming platforms for a deal on the entire Bill & Ted trilogy. Just today, all three films (finally) appeared

More often than not, there’s safety in numbers. Being alone can make you vulnerable to predators, human or otherwise. If you’re female, traveling alone at night can be downright perilous.

Activision has announced a new Call of Duty game with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the direct sequel to the original and fan-favorite Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Horror comes in many guises and forms, with many takes on the genre feeding off of our own personal fears and aversions. From the guts and gore of splatter cinema to eerie tellings of the paranormal, there’s plenty of ways to harvest the screams of fear-loving fans. There is, however, one guaranteed method of unnerving

I’ve had a passion for found-footage ever since I first laid eyes on The Blair Witch Project. I don’t think there’s any other sub-genre out there that can reduce filmmaking to its bare essentials and still craft highly effective stories that are just as impactful in your living room or laptop as they are on

“A Scottish serial killer and necrophile who murdered at least twelve young men and boys between 1978 and 1983 in London, England” (Wikipedia), Dennis Nilsen died in prison back in 2018, and this year the real-life monster is being brought to the screen in the ITV drama series “Des.” Nilsen will be played David Tennant, who is damn near unrecognizable

Becky will hit DVD and Blu-ray on September 15. Pre-order your copy today. “The film centers on rebellious

Horror remakes often get a bad rap. For fans, nothing draws ire as fast as a remake announcement of a highly regarded original.

With Wasteland 3 hitting on August 28, inXile Entertainment has released a new trailer that explores one of the more intriguing aspects of the latest entry in the post-nuclear roleplaying series: Co-operative play.

With all of the new and upcoming videogame-to-board game adaptations, there was bound to be a snag somewhere. Unfortunately for Metal Gear Solid fans, that snag has happened to them. The publisher for the upcoming board game, IDW Games, has announced that their adaptation has been delayed from this Summer (what’s left of it, really)

If you took The Village and Rosemary’s Baby and tossed them into a blender, you’d have the moody aesthetic of The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw. An opening text scroll delivers setup exposition about an isolated settlement established in the late 1800s and the briefest history overview. The most important note is that a child was birthed in secret to a

Announced earlier this year, Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. are currently hard at work on the “Snyder Cut” of Justice League, with tens of millions of dollars being dedicated to allowing Snyder to reconstruct the 2017 movie into his original vision.

Any fan of horror in gaming can recognize the big-name franchises that have garnered dedicated fans over the years—Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Fatal Frame are just a few among the most well-known. In the niche corners of horror, however, exist some of the most iconic titles that feature a unique gameplay feature: point-and-click survival-horror.
