Ask yourself: would you really want to sit through a 1:1 film adaptation of a game that's basically already a film, but missing the core elements that make the game great? No interactivity, no way to influence the characters, no endings catered to you?

"I wanted the original actors!" then play the game!

"I wanted it to be extremely faithful to the source material!" then play the game!

Not even in a condescending way, but I think its important to remind yourself with any adaptation, not even just UNTIL DAWN, that the original isnt going anywhere.

Oh I fully believe it! I see his family each Christmas and the times I've brought it up they're like yeahhh too much work😂

When my Italian boyfriend explained the seven fishes to me a couple years ago, I legitimately thought he was making it up (I somehow never heard of it). Now I want to experience it so bad but he doesn't feel like putting it together😂

@moonlessformless.bsky.social Any plans to put the Withering Rooms soundtrack on streaming? It'd prob become my go-to soundtrack for reading📚

Of course!!🙂

Creating this list also helped me realize as well!

Been experimenting with features on here and took a stab at a starter pack for folks I love to follow for #horror news, interviews, content, etc.. Definitely missing some folks (especially people who may not be on Bluesky yet) but it's a good start - follow if you like horror!👻 go.bsky.app/Ae6Ui9T

Could add more but will end this thread here and say: if you're an editor and would like to work with me, a game dev who wants to pitch their game, or just want to chat horror - drop me a line anytime. 🎃🎃

'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre' Video Game Review - Asymmetrical Horror Evolves to Fit a Terror Classic Read Bloody Disgusting's review of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game, which evolves the world of asymmetrical horror.

I also love to do reviews! I was really proud to review Gun's THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (and a year later interview Gun CEO Wes Keltner on how the game has evolved since then).

Spirit Halloween Celebrates 40th Anniversary with Flagship Store’s Annual Grand Opening [Event Report] Spirit Halloween is celebrating its 40th anniversary here in 2023, and Bloody Disgusting attended the flagship store's grand opening.

Fan Theories, TikTok Trends, and The Great Recession - Analyzing the Legacy of 'Coraline' On paper, everything about Laika Studios’ initial theatrical release of Coraline feels a bit like a fever dream: a stop-motion animated horror film geared

Having been raised on Goosebumps books, I also love diving into horror geared towards kids - recently, I had the chance to interview one of my favorite creators, @horror4kids.bsky.social, who has become a frequent collaber and friend, on CORALINE. bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...

Cast and Showrunners of "Pretty Little Liars: Summer School" Talk Finale, Fandom & Final Girls [Exclusive] Beware - Major spoilers for the finale of Pretty Little Liars: Summer School below. Summer break is on the horizon for the cast and crew of Pretty Little

GETTING GRAPHIC: The Future Of Cinematography Is A Blend Of Film And Video Games The trend of video games drawing upon film for inspiration is hardly a new concept. Between a certain iconic gorilla owned by Nintendo that’s inspired by one

I previously hosted an online column with @fangoria.bsky.social called GETTING GRAPHIC, which analyzed the intersection of horror video games and films. I got the chance to interview all types of folks in both industries. www.fangoria.com/getting-grap...

Examining the Enduring Appeal of Multiplayer Slasher Game 'Dead By Daylight' In the summer of 2016, Behaviour Interactive released Dead By Daylight, a game that would become one of the most well-known in the survival-horror genre

Since then, I've had the pleasure of interviewing multiple members of their team and Game Director. bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...

Can't sleep, so now feels like as good a time as any to make an intro post on here. 🎃

I'm Brandon - I work in publishing, and I've been a freelance writer for about 5 years now. Horror's always been my niche - I mostly cover gaming but always try to broaden my horizons.

Some highlights below:

Was super easy and quick! I'm coming around to this platform more and more.

Absolutely!!

Will likely be adding to this when I inevitably notice that I've left out some of my favorite folks by accident

Annual reminder that The Munsters escorted Santa in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade back in 1964. Fred Gwynne reportedly got drunk and was shouting at everyone. Isn't that what the holidays are all about? Happy Thanksgiving!
