Game Review: ‘Haunted House’

Back during its 1982 golden age, Atari released an adventure game that changed gaming by becoming one of, if not the first survival horror games created, Haunted House. Atari and Orbit Studio have reimagined the legendary game for modern audiences in time for Halloween! I want to thank Atari and Orbit Studio for allowing me to check out this revamped legend! Haunted House follows Lyn Graves and her friends as they go to a haunted house her exploring uncle disappeared in. After arriving at the spooky location, Lyn is separated from her friends and must now find them too as well as put a curse to bed, and end the hauntings. Now, on to the game itself! Haunted House‘s controls seem a bit complicated for a relatively simple story and game with so many mechanics being thrown at you right off the bat! When it comes to sound for Haunted House, the soundtrack, though good, needs more variety. The game

Make Anything (And Everything) Halloween With Patterns d’Oubliette!

I was scrolling through Social Media lately, mainly checking out all the Fall and Halloween memes when something caught my eye. For those who have not caught on about a part of my personality, I like to be creative, and I love creative things. I stumbled on Patterns d’Oubliette. Halloween, and Spooky-themed patterns you can get on anything! The picture below is just a scratch on the tip of the iceberg of the kinds of patterns Patterns d’Oubliette have! I don’t know about you, but those patterns got my Halloween mojo boiling over! There are two shops Patterns d’Oubliette has that you can check out, they have a shop at Redbubble where you can have the pattern of your choice on anything, like pillows, shirts, shower curtains, bed sheets, you name it!

Unboxing And Review: 25 Foot Tall Michael Myers Inflatable

Halloween is nearly upon us, and you know what that means: it is time to put up decorations. You know what they say, “Go big or go home,” well, this spooky season, I’m going big, real big. I snagged one of HalloweenCostumes.com‘s new, exclusive, twenty-five-foot-tall Michael Myers inflatables. The inflatable has excellent details from the blood on his knife, shading in his hair and on his clothing, down to his fingers, which are not one piece but individually represented. This thing is awesome from the tips of his toes to the top of his head! You may be wondering how easy the inflatable is to put up. It’s actually really easy. One person can do it, but two are recommended. The hardest part is getting him to stand up, but even that is relatively easy. The whole process took about 30 minutes, and fifteen minutes of that was waiting for it to inflate. Some inflatables have obnoxiously loud air pumps;

Participants Enter ‘McKamey Manor’ In New Doc “Monster Inside”

Odds are you have heard of the infamous haunted attraction McKamey Manor. The place many compare to experiencing being trapped in a real-life horror movie. The new documentary Monster Inside: America’s Most Extreme Haunted House delves into infamous, brutal attraction owned by Navy Veteran Russ McKamey. By cultivating an online persona and a cult-like following, Russ was allowed to display his basest instincts and rewarded with online fame and notoriety. Driven by his personal fixations, he turned his backyard haunt into a bona fide torture chamber: videotaping “contestants,” particularly vulnerable young women, as he sees how far he can push them – both inside and outside of the haunt. Merging documentary storytelling with the visual and cinematic language of a horror film, MONSTER INSIDE follows three participants as they dive deep into Russ’s world and then find the will to fight back. Surrounded by controversy, McKamey Manor has been the ultimate terrifying attraction for years, and is open all year
