1: Enter the Survival Horror

Mar 1, 2025

We explore the survival horror genre, examining the early titles like 3D Monster Maze and Project Firestart, its explosive popularity in the 90s – where titles like Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil, and Silent Hill captured the imagination of the masses – and its legacy and enduring popularity today.

2: Lethal Licenses

Mar 1, 2025

We explore the good, the bad, and the ugly, including early Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre games, bizarre obscurities like Ringu: Infinity, and successes like the brilliant Alien: Isolation, as well as the growing popularity of licensed characters in games like Dead by Daylight.

3: Narrative Nightmares

Apr 1, 2025

From the surreal and unique to the kitsch and campy, we celebrate and explore cinematic horror games and the now-obscure world of full motion video horror games, exploring "so-bad-it's-good" games like Night Trap, Sierra Online classics like Phantasmagoria, and the unusual use of CG tech in titles like D, among many others.

4: The Indie Revolution

Apr 1, 2025

We shine a light on indie development in horror gaming, from breakout hits like Five Nights at Freddy’s and Amnesia to the many unique and one-of-a-kind experiences like Yume Nikki, Papa Sangre, and FAITH: The Unholy Trinity.

5: Cursed and Controversial

We dive down the rabbit hole of controversy and explore the games - like Doom, Manhunt, and Saw - that people wanted banned. Along the way, we'll also take a look at the unusual world of "cursed" games, including urban legends like Polybius, Petscop, and Crow 64.
