Cult Classics ‘Maniac’ And ‘Zombie’ Added To Messed Up Puzzles

Cult classic horror films are not just popular because of the cheap gore effects, campy acting, and boobs, the poster art alone for many of these films are masterpieces to those with an eye for horror art. Messed Up Puzzles is a company that takes these artistic pieces and turns them into jigsaw puzzles that will make any ghoul happy! These Not Safe For Work (NSFW) puzzles feature the art of films only without the title getting in the way. Recently added to their growing collection are the 1980 slasher Maniac and the 1979 Italian zombie flick Zombie (also goes by Zombi 2, and Zombie Flesh Eaters). Maniac follows a serial killer in New York City who murders women and then removes their scalps and affixing them to mannequins. The film’s poster was controversial at the time and fell victim to heavy altering and censorship when shown overseas. Fans of this film will be happy to know that there is

Top 5 Horror Games Of 2018

2018 was a sad year for horror video games. Many games that were scheduled to be released were pushed back to the upcoming year while some that were supposed to start going into development in ’18 simply never happened. Even some titles that were released slipped through the cracks without even drawing attention, but like most crappy things in life, there’s a silver lining, in this case, five of them. Without further ado and in no particular order, here are my Top 5 Horror Games Of 2018. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice (Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One) This dark fantasy by Ninja Theory has won over 20 awards and enchanted fans with a fusion world of Norse and Celtic cultures. The story follows a Pict warrior woman named Senua as she journeys through the Norse underworld Helheim to rescue her lover who was sacrificed by the Norsemen. The most prominent plot device that helps make this game a success is the fact

Focus Home Interactive is having a massive sale on many of their games for a limited time, October 16th – October 22nd. You can save upwards to 80% on some titles, I highly recommend “Vampyr” as its 50% off for this limited time! For us Lovecraft fans, the highly anticipated role-playing horror game “Call of Cthulhu: The official Video Game” is available for pre-order but for a limited time the price is down 10%, which in hindsight is some decent wiggle room. Don’t worry, the sale is also on for PS4 fans as well. “Call of Cthulhu: The official Video Game” takes players on a journey into madness as they play as a private detective named Edward Pierce who is investigating the mysterious deaths of the members of the Hawkins family and discovers something otherworldly and darker is at play.

Video Game Review Double Feature! ‘Layers Of Fear’ & ‘>Observer_’ For Xbox One

Recently I wrote an article about the bundling of the two horror narrative games, “Layers of Fear” and “>Observer_”. The games’ developer Bloober Team gave me access to play both of their groundbreaking games for one epic review! Since this is a double review, I’m splitting the games up to avoid confusion and the last couple of paragraphs will be my final thoughts on both games. “Layers of Fear” is about a painter in the midst of the mental breakdown and his obsession over his latest art piece that he hopes will put him back on top. After you start looking at your latest work, that’s when the terror starts. As you explore the house, hallucinations begin to take over of paint drenched hallways, malformed specters, and artifacts that reflect your troubled past as you try to explore for answers only have your senses toyed with by the other side. There are times you have to do some problem solving

Keeping true to

‘Speak Of The Devil’: Enter The World Of Horror In VR

Not going to lie, VR glasses creep me out…something about my eyes getting sensors shot into them (I admit, I don’t know the science behind it). However, VR production Company Light Sail VR is hoping that everyone will be creeped out by their new project. ‘Speak of the Devil’ has been released for Samsung Gear VR and is being released on more gear as we speak. Available for $2.99, the project allows the user to get lost in the world of horror in a new and exciting way. The sinister choose-your-own-adventure experience takes viewers on a terrifying camping trip they will never forget–if they survive. With 12 fatal paths and only one ending that leads to survival, viewers are in control of the narrative as they explore the woods and come across different paths that lead them to their bloodcurdling fate. I may have to actually give VR a chance with this because it has definitely piqued my interest. Download

‘P.T.’ Changing The Way Games Scare Gamers

Back in August of 2014 players on PlayStation 4 got the chance to play the first ever playable trailer that was known simply as P.T., a first-person horror game like no other. The game ends revealing that this playable trailer was for (at the time) the upcoming game Silent Hills a new installment in the game series, sadly production of the game was canceled. Along with the cancelation came the removal of P.T. from PlayStation Store rendering already downloaded copies of the game unplayable, a move that’s still heavily criticized. Some can argue that P.T. was not the first game to dome something like this, the no combat, first-person horror experience. It’s true, four years prior to P.T. gamers were scared by Amnesia: The Dark Descent, a survival horror game where players explore a dark castle while trying to avoid the creatures that stalk its corridors with no means to protect themselves. A month after Amnesia was released; Alien: Isolation

Fans Can Now Play ‘The Evil Within 2’ In First-Person

Bethesda just announced today that their terrifying game The Evil Within 2 got a free update, you can now play the game in first-person. The game is normally third–person, but in one part of the game, where players must navigate a trap-filled maze while avoiding a stalking enemy, it’s in first-person. Players really liked the added tension the first person perspective gave; some who played the game on PC found a way to glitch it so the whole game could be played that way. The developers were not upset by this but instead embraced it and made the update for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Players who don’t own the game yet are able to try a free demo of the newly updated game and play the first couple of chapters, to add to this awesome gift the saved data from the demo will be transferred over to the full game if the player chooses to get the whole
