Haunted Dollhouse

I have never been one to play with dollhouses or dolls. I think that the last set of dolls I got when I was a kid didn’t survive for very long. There is, however, this certain dollhouse that I certainly would not mind having around. In a separate room that is always well lit. I don’t know if you have heard of The Bloggess, who is known as Jenny Lawson in real life. She has been working on a dollhouse for the past 11 years. So what is special about that (aside from the fact that 11 years is a very long time for a dollhouse)? Well, this is no Read more »

I’m intrigued by the games of Lexis Numerique. They’re doing some really interesting, unusual things with gameplay, and as someone who’s attracted to original stories, I’m fascinated with the outside-the-box storytelling Lexis is coming up with. Their upcoming Red Johnson’s Chronicles looks very cool, and today I learned of another title they’re working on called Amy. Read more »

Spontaneous Flesh Crawling

Spontaneous #2

Many comics billed as horror comics simply fail to elicit that clammy, sweaty response that one would expect from the genre. The same cannot be said for one of the latest offerings from Oni Press, now into its second issue. Spontaneous deals with the story of Melvin, a boy cursed from childhood with the ability to perceive who stands at risk of spontaneous human combustion. At least, that’s how it appears on the surface. Melvin is one of those nobodies that we walk past every day and try to escape any conversation with. Much as we hate to admit it, I know this can strike a chord with everyone. Joe Read more »

Star Wars Death Troopers coming in September

Joe Schreiber’s Star Wars Death Troopers horror roman will be released on October 13th. The horror adaption tells the story of prisoners fleeing on a star destroyer… filled with Zombies. Star Wars zombies! When the Imperial prison barge Purge – temporary home to five hundred of the galaxy’s most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels, and thieves – breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict, and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back–bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within Read more »

Fatal Frame Wii cancelled in the US, Europe

Bad news for horror game fans. Nintendo has decided not to publish a Wii installment of the extremely scary horror game series Fatal Frame in both the US and Europe. This piece of info was given by Techmo, developer of the Fatal Frame franchise. The company said that Nintendo actually owns the publishing rights to Fatal Frame for the Wii and not Tecmo or codeveloper Grasshopper Manufacture. The game, which was released in Japan way back July 31, 2008, will not get an English version because of Nintendo’s decision. I actually don’t understand Nintendo’s decision regarding Fatal Frame. Based on the better than average sales of both Resident Evil 4: Read more »

Zombies and Big Brother

Anyone who’s into horror, particularly the zombie genre should check out the British TV miniseries Dead Set. The premise is cool enough. It’s a Big Brother eviction night but all across England strange things are happening. The dead have apparently come alive and the hapless Big Brother participants have no idea what’s happening in the outside world. I love the perfect mix of horror and the reality genre. I’d like to think of it as good companion piece to George Romero’s Diary of The Dead. Do check out the five-episode series. You’ll be in for a treat. Read more »
