System Shock [Official Website] Welcome Back to Citadel Station…. Hacker. We’ve gathered a team of industry veterans from games like Fallout: New Vegas, Mass Effect, and BioShock to create a faithful reboot of the classic game we all know and love. In System Shock, you’ll take on the role of a resourceful hacker as you explore and survive the terrors of Citadel Station brought on by a rogue AI named SHODAN. To ensure this reboot is as true to the original as possible, we’ve been collaborating with the original developers of System Shock 1. Understanding what they would do differently and keep the same has helped us to refresh a classic in ways Looking Glass Studios would have. We’re making System Shock for gamers that missed the opportunity to appreciate the original, and for the dedicated fans of System Shock 1. We love talking to our backers, so please help support this project and share your thoughts as we make the best System Shock for all of you! - Nightdive Studios https://www.systemshock.com/

Wraith of God Comicbook Review [The Splintering]
Welcome back to the Festival of Dread, The Splintering’s month-long celebration of all things God-forsaken and unholy.
Today we’re going to look at Wraith of God, a superhero book with a horror twist written and illustrated by Aaron Lopresti.
Set against the iconic backdrop of the American West, Wraith of God pits a mysterious, supernatural vigilante (the titular Wraith) against a clan of werewolves are terrorizing the frontier lands. The Wraith himself claims to be the embodiment of God’s wrath on Earth, and uses divine powers, smoke, silver bullets and other sanctified weapons to dispatch the beasts. He’s also a master of disguise and an expert fighter, both gunplay and hand-to-hand. The Wraith is accompanied by his steed Gabriel and a fetching young blonde named Esther, who joins forces with the Wraith after her beloved Jacob is killed in a fire.

Is Halloween Pagan – Part 2 of 2 [History for Atheists]
The idea that all the traditional holidays and festivals of the year are “pagan” in origin and were simply “stolen by the Church” is one that has permeated popular culture and is repeated without question in newspaper, magazine and online articles. It is perhaps not surprising that harried journalists and underpaid online content writers are uncritical about these claims, but it is more strange that prominent atheists are as well, given they are meant to be sceptics who check their facts and “question everything”. Unfortunately, many anti-theistic polemicists cannot resist a chance to get in a jab at any aspect of Christianity being “really pagan”, so every October we see supposed rationalists parroting pseudo history about the “pagan origins of Halloween”, with no sign of any fact-checking, let alone engagement with scholarship. In fact, the claim that Halloween is “pagan” is largely a nineteenth century myth.

They Look Like People (2015) Review [Modern Horrors]
They Look Like People is an update of the body-snatcher genre of horror/thriller, and it’s great for a number of reasons. It’s a new take on a classic story, which is always fun, but more importantly, like many of the movies I’ve reviewed this year, it only has the trappings of a horror film. They Look Like People is intensely, excruciatingly slow-paced and squeezes every ounce of dread out of each scene, but there’s not much beyond that in the sense of horror aesthetic. There is an undercurrent of darkness throughout the film, yes, but mostly, They Look Like People examines what it’s like to be a young person out on your own. It’s about navigating the complicated waters of life, balancing your career, your friends, who you think you are, and who you think the people around you are. It’s a movie that shows how men can undo themselves and how women are strong. It’s awesome to see old dramatic devices used for something this fresh.

Scream in Your Hands: How To Evolve the Serial Killer Subgenre In Video Games
The release of the new Scream movie has me in the mood to play games where you’re trying to evade a slasher/serial killer. My personal favorites when it comes to this type of mayhem are that of Puppet Combo’s games; in gems like Babysitter Bloodbath and Murder House, you must run for your life as a mad killer tries to hunt you and butcher you. It’s very much in-tune with a slasher gem such as Scream. But though such games give me a rush, there is something more I long for from titles involving serial killers.

10 of the Most Memorable Slasher Movies Released in the 25 Years Since ‘Scream’ Changed the Game
By 1996, slashers were out of style. The Golden Age of Slashers waned over a decade ago, and ’90s horror was still searching for its identity thanks largely to massive shifts in technology. Wes Craven‘s second attempt at meta-horror changed everything; Scream‘s quiet December release snowballed into an enormous hit and reinvigorated the subgenre, ushering a new wave of teen slashers.
