A Very Special Halloween Gaming Podcast

On the spookiest day of the year, join With a Terrible Fate in a free-wheeling conversation about the past, present, and future magic of horror storytelling in video games. In a brand-new podcast episode, Dan Hughes and Aaron Suduiko haunt you with reflections on the good, bad, and ugly of scary interactive stories, including:

• Old and new glitches, from MissingNo. to headless Marvel heroes
• Dan's six-year-old ire for Five Nights at Freddy's, juxtaposed against his reception of the brand-new Five Nights at Freddy's film
• The role of horror moments in non-horror video-game genres, such as the JRPG
• The "Silent Hill" era of retelling old horror stories in a new light like campfire stories inspired by oral histories, including such works as Resident Evil and Silent Hill remakes, as well as Lies of P
• Recommendations for what you should play and watch this Halloween

Don't be afraid, and buckle up for new podcast content in the near future!
