Announced last month as the sequel to their “horrorpunk” RPG Morbid: The Seven Acolytes, Merge Games and developer Still Running have released a new “Spotlight” trailer for Morbid: The Lords of Ire. Featuring Simo Talasranta, Writer/Composer/Sound Designer at Still Running, the trailer takes fans through the inspirations that led the developers to switch from The Seven […]
There was a time when I personally believed that Resident Evil 4 never needed a remake. The original game that was released in 2005 has held up fantastically over the years and become such an influence on third-person action and horror games. Hell, we’re still seeing that influence in the series today as the exceptional […]

If you’re feeling lucky, here are ten Irish horror movies you can stream today. […]
It’s been a year since Ringu‘s Sadako joined the ranks for Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight, but Dead by Daylight Mobile has sadly been missing out. Luckily, that’s been fixed with the recent update to Dead by Daylight Mobile, which has introduced the Sadako Rising Collaboration event that’s currently running from now until March 28th! […]
A sizable chunk of my formative years were spent watching late night Discovery Channel, so I think it makes sense that I used to be unreasonably terrified of being abducted by aliens.

For Wes After spending our birthday month talking about ‘Weird Sex’ films like Videodrome, 1981’s Possession, Tusk and Wolf, last week Trace and I jumped back to the 60s to tackle an iconic UK spooky flick with The Haunting. With the release of Scream 6 this past week, it only made sense to open the Patreon vault […]
Whether it’s because of the hours we’ve lost in traffic or an unconscious desire to rebel against the unnatural rat race of modern life, there’s an undeniable catharsis in watching gigantic monsters obliterate a metropolitan area on the big screen. Don’t get me wrong, a real life Kaiju incident would probably be regarded with the […]
In case you missed it, Capcom has released the “Chainsaw Demo” for the Resident Evil 4 remake, which includes no time restrictions. That’s probably a good thing for multiple reasons, as some fans have discovered that the Chainsaw Demo holds a secret in the form of a hidden difficulty level. “Mad Chainsaw Mode” is an […]
While Namco’s 1988 sidescroller Splatterhouse had its soundtrack released back in Japan, that was a long time ago, and it’s also out of print. Luckily, the folks at SPACELAB9 have teamed up with Bandai Namco to remedy that with a brand-new vinyl that you can pre-purchase now from SPACELAB9’s website, with an expected August 2023 […]
Scream rewired the horror audience in 1996, exploring anew the connective tissue that bridged the history of the genre with its future patrons and purveyors. The resulting franchise encompassed a host of familiar tropes of both the slasher and “whodunit” variety, comprising ringing phones accompanied by mysterious callers, self-aware and snarky young adults and rules […]
