After a week off, Justin, Cole, Ethan, and Christina make quite a mess when they open up their horror game memories. Unrecognizable bits of Alan Wake, Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness, Dead Space, and more, stain an otherwise horrible episode.

Maybe we held onto Halloween just a little too long. Sure after a while it was awkward, but we think the holiday supports a good horror video game discussion no matter the day. It’s good to be back on The Horrible Show and we celebrate by derailing almost immediately during our Threesomes of the Week. You can blame it on Justin’s demon forehead or drinking habits. Our On the Spot question asks, “What horror movie should be made into a game?” so naturally we talk about Titanic and Ethan’s man crush on Billy Zane. Truly horrifying. Then, it is time to (un)settle in for our horror game discussion about the highs and lows in the genre. From Resident Evil to Dead Space, Bioshock to System Shock, Metal Gear to Silent Hill, and Wonderland to Arkham Asylum, we find a reason to be scared of something in just about any type of game. In HorribleNight.com news, Ethan creates a new editorial series that just may save the industry. It couldn’t come at a better time because if our industry shout-outs are right, gaming is about to be taken over by dancing douchebags. You’ve got to get out of here.
