Del Toro's Frankenstein is a visually stunning loveletter to classic gothic horror with a surprisingly tender heart but a few adaptation choices just hold it back from being the definitive version of Shelley's novel. Got loads of ideas for approaches and readings of it though.

Our team just dropped a new skin. You can play Cronos as a Pumpkin-head. Update the game and voila! We are very serious people. Such is Our Spooky Calling πŸŽƒ

Too many indie horror games recently released or coming out today for me to review them all (greatest problem to have) so made a list of the games you need to check out between Silent Hill f and Resident Evil Requiem. Will tag devs when at the computer :)

Our last plug for BLOODSTONE: SUBSPECIES II with guest Kim Pierce. Even if you’ve NOT seen these films, maybe you’ll be inspired to give them a go! https://t.co/X96P42i4im

October Horror watching with my 18 year old is a real roller coaster. Was planning paternity tests when he gave the Hammer Dracula 2/5 but 4 for Hellraiser has redeemed him somewhat. Most disturbing film for him so far has been The Fly :)

Love the look of this - hate the fact that the DS is legit old enough to garner nostalgia!

I am making a horror game that pretends you are playing on a Nintendo DS sideways. Use the stylus to turn the camera, interact with things and take notes. It's a small freeware thing and release is sometime next week before Halloween. #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

You can hear me as The Narrator in Death's Guide, a really fantastic game created for @Jacksepticeye @Ducky_Szymanski Jamsepticeye. Everyone in the team did a really great job & I'd love for you all to play it. It's FREE and playable by download or in browser! πŸ‘‡πŸ»πŸ‘‡πŸ»πŸ‘‡πŸ»

Yesterday’s post vanished like a fart in the Sahara, as we Finns say. It’s a bummer, because I was really happy with the video. I’m giving it another chance in still format, so here’s Wilbur, Lavinia and the Dunwich wilds, again!
