MastersFX’s Monster Museum Opens To The Public

The paranormal is always present at this time of year in British Columbia – the area is shrouded in drippy forests and by dark shadowy myth – and regional cryptids seem to watch from every corner. The region has historically been associated with numerous eerie film and TV monsters as well, having been home to The X-Files, The Never-Ending Story, The Thing, Deadpool, Twilight and its sequels, Watchmen, The Last of Us, and so many more genre films and TV series, which have been filmed in the area. On Friday, October 13, over 400 Vancouver film and TV professionals came out en masse to celebrate the Grand Opening and bloody ribbon–cutting of MastersFX’s new Monster Museum and FX Studio in Burnaby! Founded in 1987, MastersFX (MFX) is an award-winning “monster shop” designed, created, and produced some of the best-loved monsters in movies and television shows for nearly 37 years!

11 bit Announces Mind-bending Narrative Adventure, ‘INDIKA’

11 Bit Studios and Odd Meter, will be taking players on a journey through a parallel 19th-century Russia as an Orthodox Nun named INDIKA the title character in the upcoming 3rd-person narrative adventure. In INDIKA, players assume the role of the titular nun, Indika, embarking on a mind-bending journey to explore the duality of good and evil and the understanding that nothing is absolute. A third-person perspective adventure game, blending exploration with environmental puzzles and a touch of platforming. However, steeped in themes of sin, sorrow, and moral dilemmas. The story of INDIKA does not end there, the story of its Developers, Odd Meter, is quite mindblowing as well! Odd Meter is a 16-person team from Russia, who had to uproot their lives and flee to Kazakhstan after Russia invaded Ukraine. Even before the war, Odd Meter was in talks with 11 Bit about doing INDIKA, and at the time Odd Meter was already risking their freedom as the topic

Game Review: ‘Lords Of The Fallen’

Souls Games… Nothing gets the blood pumping more than a game where defeat is part of the story and repetitive action to earn back lost points while running the risk of losing them forever, using skills you normally don’t use in other games and the fact that you’re playing this willingly… Some run marathons, while others take on a game like Lords of the Fallen. I would like to thank CI Games and Hexworks for sending me a copy of this glorious nightmare, I mean that in a good way! Lords of the Fallen takes you to the land of Mournsted, where the five beacons of Hallowed Sentinels have become corrupted and will allow Adyr, a demon god, to return. Players take on the role of a resurrected individual who must take on the role of a Dark Crusader and stop the demon god’s return. Lords of the Fallen‘s controls are pretty involved, so paying close attention to the tutorial

Game Review: ‘Vlad Circus: Descend Into Madness’

When I think of 2D Pixle-art games, I remember the old DOS games I played as a kid. As a kid, they were spooky, but after growing up and seeing the evolution of graphics, I now look back at how lame they were. Unfortunately, I still hold this view. Can Indisruption and Blowfish Studios’ psychological horror Vlad Circus: Descend Into Madness make me change my mind? In Vlad Circus: Descend Into Madness, players play the role of Oliver “Lazy Ollie” Mills, a former circus clown. Ollie has been invited to Petrescu Manor along with some former circus performers, with the hope of revealing the haunting truth behind the tragedy that struck Vlad Circus eight years prior. Now, on to the game itself! When it comes to the controls, they are pretty easy to remember the layout once you learn them, I only wish there was a better tutorial system for it though. The soundtrack is great and fits the narrative

Game Review: ‘Haunted House’

Back during its 1982 golden age, Atari released an adventure game that changed gaming by becoming one of, if not the first survival horror games created, Haunted House. Atari and Orbit Studio have reimagined the legendary game for modern audiences in time for Halloween! I want to thank Atari and Orbit Studio for allowing me to check out this revamped legend! Haunted House follows Lyn Graves and her friends as they go to a haunted house her exploring uncle disappeared in. After arriving at the spooky location, Lyn is separated from her friends and must now find them too as well as put a curse to bed, and end the hauntings. Now, on to the game itself! Haunted House‘s controls seem a bit complicated for a relatively simple story and game with so many mechanics being thrown at you right off the bat! When it comes to sound for Haunted House, the soundtrack, though good, needs more variety. The game

HorrorFuel.com Interviews ‘Dear David’ Movie Director John McPhail

One of the most highly anticipated horror movies of the year., Dear David, is headed your way, just in time for Halloween. Back in 2001, we reported on BuzzFeed artist Adam Ellis’ spooky-as-hell social media thread labeled “Dear David,” which quickly went viral. The posts/updates told about the paranormal activity in his home and the sightings of a child’s ghost, who threatened his life. We reported the same year that a movie was in the works. After two years, it is finally set to open in theaters. I recently had the pleasure of talking with the film’s director, John McPhail, about bringing this fright-filled, haunting story to life on screen and what it took to create this horror film. McPhail is not new to the horror genre. He is also behind the fun holiday horror film Anna and the Apocalypse, released in 2017. He was also featured in the 2020 genre anthology series “Bite Size Halloween.” Of course, he doesn’t
