Protocol Games & Raiser Games announced that their upcoming psychological horror game Song of Horror, will terrify players this Halloween! Players take on the role, or should I say roles, of 1 of 13 playable characters as they investigate the disappearance of writer Sebastian P. Husher. Upon starting their investigation, players will soon realize that otherworldly forces the likes of which they never experienced in a game before is at work! As mentioned there are 13 playable characters in the game to choose from. Each character has their own back-story and their own unique way of interacting within the story. Why 13 characters you ask?

To celebrate our favorite holiday, Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thrillers and the supernatural, is throwing a Halloween special like no other, hosted by Joe Bob Briggs, the world’s foremost drive-in movie critic. As we were preparing for Season 2 of The Last Drive-In, we unearthed three forgotten gems that are all Halloween-themed and decided it was time for a Halloween Hootenanny. Or maybe I’m lying about that and we’re programming three iconic Halloween favorites. Or maybe we’re counter-programming with flicks that have absolutely nothing to do with Halloween. The great thing about spending October 25 with us is that, as Forrest Gump says, you never know what you’re gonna get. What we can promise is a) I will be ridiculously nerdy about horror, and b) Darcy the Mail Girl will probably disagree with me. It’s great to be back. I missed Shudder and the Shudder faithful,” said Briggs. The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs began
