Top Horror Games That Need Another Entry To The Franchise

Published

on

We’ve all been there when it comes to horror gaming. A experience so grotesque and terrifying, that you just can’t rip your eyes off the screen as you maneuver your character around the horrors unfolding in the fictional world. Video games and horror go hand and hand together, so today let’s take a look at some of the top horror games that desperately need another entry to their respective franchises.

Clock Tower

Clock Tower is a series of horror games that has pretty much disappeared off the face of the Earth. The last entry to the series was seen on the PlayStation 2 and nothing after that. Clock Tower was a series of survival horror games that used heavy emphasis on running and hiding over combat. With disturbing imagery and the terrifying Scissor Man constantly hunting the player character you never truly felt safe.

At any moment, the Scissor Man could appear around a corner ready to end your life, leaving you constantly wondering just what is going to be waiting for you around the next corner or behind the next locked door. Clock Tower is in desperate need of another game, especially with the rise in popularity of horror games recently.

Silent Hill

Silent Hill is a name that all fans of horror games should recognize. The original Silent Hill being released on the PlayStation still to this day receives high praises for its use of disturbing monster design, unsettling environments, and the haunting sound track. While the golden age of Silent Hill may have ended after the third entry to the series, each later sequel at least tried to bring something interesting to the table.

Silent Hill fans have been disappointed many times over the years, with the later sequels failing to impress, and with the abrupt cancellation of Silent Hills. While the first three games may still hold up to this day, a new entry to the franchise, done right, would be more than enough to appease fans of the series. While it is extremely unlikely due to the treatment that Silent Hills has gotten, I can still dream and play through Silent Hill 2 again, remembering what the series was like while at its peak.

Deadly Premonition

It’s not every day that consumers get a horror game that is so bad it’s good, but we received just that in the form of Deadly Premonition. In one of the more polarizing horror games available. you play as Detective York Morgan who has been tasked with helping solve a series of murders taking place in Greenvale, Washington.

Deadly Premonition suffers from multiple issues, a nonsensical story, a protagonist so quirky and awkward that he may as well be a cartoon character, and finally an incredibly awkward and confusing control scheme. But all of that together somehow congeals into a cohesive experience, that is truly unique.

Any fan of Twin Peaks owes it to themselves to check out Deadly Premonition as it is the closest thing we will ever get to having an actual Twin Peaks video game. Plus, there is also a board game on the way, and if you want to read more on that bit, you can check it out here.

Clive Barker’s Jericho

Jericho was an obscure game that sold poorly last generation, but it is absolutely a game that any fan of Clive Barker needs to check out. The game follows a unit of paranormal soldiers tasked with stopping a rogue member from unleashing an unspeakable horror onto the world known simply as The Firstborn.

In typical Clive Barker fashion, the story is dark and gripping, telling a tale of God’s first creation being so grotesque and evil that it was sealed away in the abyss to rot for all of eternity. Swapping between team members allows you to utilize each of their unique paranormal abilities for bonuses in combat, as well as solving various puzzles presented to you throughout the game.

Jericho was one of the best horror games available last generation, and truly deserves a second look for anyone who may have missed it the first time around. And hopefully sooner rather than later, we will see the much-needed sequel on store shelves, ready to show us the meaning of fear all over again.

And there we have it, some of the top horror games that are in desperate need of a sequel or another entry to the franchise. What are some of your personal favorite horror games that you just can’t get enough of, and desperately want a sequel to? Chat it up in the comments below, let’s see what the most demanded horror sequel is.

The Best Horror-Themed Casino Games

Published

on

Horror Slot

Horror-themed entertainment enjoys significant popularity, captivating audiences with movies, shows, games, and more that delve into the eerie and supernatural. This fascination extends into the world of gaming, particularly in the realm of slot games.

horror casino games

Several standout slot games have successfully incorporated horror themes, drawing inspiration from some of the genre’s most iconic films, to create immersive and thrilling gaming experiences year-round.

Alien

Alien

If you have been looking for an online mobile casino for your horror fix, perhaps the best game to start with is the 1979 sci-fi horror classic. Alien is the kind of movie that has transcended its genre and become a classic to the point that some people don’t immediately remember it as a horror movie.

In 2002, the movie was given official status: it was given an award by the Library of Congress as a historically, culturally, or aesthetically significant piece of media. For that reason, it only stands to reason that it would get its own slot title.

The slot game offers 15 pay lines while paying homage to many of the best original characters. On top of that, there are even little nods to many of the actions that happen throughout the film, making you feel right in the heart of the action. On top of that, the score is quite memorable, creating an immersive experience in one of the greatest movies ever.

Psycho

Arguably the one that started it all. Dedicated horror fans will no doubt reference this horror classic, which originated in 1960. Created by masterful director Alfred Hitchcock, the movie itself was actually based on a novel of the same name.

As all of the classics were, it was filmed in black and white and can be thought of as quite low-budget, especially compared to many blockbuster horror movies of today. That said, it might be the most memorable of the bunch and that led to the creation of a memorable slot title as well.

The game offers a whopping 25 pay lines, delivering heart-pumping excitement in much the same way that the movie does. It visually captures the look and feel of Psycho in every way, making you feel the suspense of Hitchcock’s creation.

The soundtrack and backdrop add to the chill factor as well. You can even see the most iconic sequence – the knife scene – as one of the symbols. There are plenty of callbacks to enjoy and this game will make even the most critical of Psycho lovers fall in love as they attempt to win big.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

A Nightmare On Elm Street

Fredy Kreuger is one of the most iconic characters in not only horror, but pop culture. The sweater, the hat, and the slashing claws are all trademarks. They come to life in this 1984 classic and the supernatural slasher feels immersive in this slot machine title.

In the movie, the story centers around teenagers who are haunted by the dead serial killer in their dreams. Here, you will have to attempt to win with Freddy haunting the background. He appears in all five reels, providing a win over 30 potential pay lines.

If you get lucky, Freddy can make you pay: up to 10,000x your bet. With huge jackpots, the most recognizable characters from the original film, and the feel of being right there on Elm Street, this is one of those games that you will come back to again and again much like the many sequels that followed.

‘Immaculate’ Stars Reveal Which Horror Villains They Would “F, Marry, Kill”

Published

on

Sydney Sweeney is just coming off the success of her rom-com Anyone But You, but she’s ditching the love story for a horror story in her latest film Immaculate.

Sweeney is taking Hollywood by storm, portraying everything from a love-lusting teenager in Euphoria to an accidental superhero in Madame Web. Although the latter got a lot of hate among theater-goers, Immaculate is getting the polar opposite.

The film was screened at SXSW this past week and was well-received. It also gained a reputation for being extremely gory. Derek Smith of Slant says the, “final act contains some of the most twisted, gory violence this particular subgenre of horror has seen in years…”

Thankfully curious horror movie fans won’t have to wait long to see for themselves what Smith is talking about as Immaculate will hit theaters across the United States on March, 22.

Bloody Disgusting says that the movie’s distributor NEON, in a bit of marketing smarts, had stars Sydney Sweeney and Simona Tabasco play a game of “F, Marry, Kill” in which all their choices had to be horror movie villains.

It’s an interesting question, and you might be surprised at their answers. So colorful are their responses that YouTube slapped an age-restricted rating on the video.

Immaculate is a religious horror movie that NEON says stars Sweeney, “as Cecilia, an American nun of devout faith, embarking on a new journey in a remote convent in the picturesque Italian countryside. Cecilia’s warm welcome quickly devolves into a nightmare as it becomes clear her new home harbors a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.”

In related news to the Terminator world, Linda Hamilton stated I’m done. I’m done. I have nothing more to say. The story’s been told, and it’s been done to death. Why anybody would relaunch it is a mystery to me. She claims she doesn’t want to play Sarah Connor anymore. You can check out more of what she said here.
