I may not be a horror game enthusiast, but it’s not too difficult to see when games of the genre take a turn for the goofy. Shift at Midnight is a prime example. And while it might be unfair to compare it to what I might consider the spoopiest game of all-time, Grabbed by the…

Queen Vanessa’s Manor: Spoopy or Nightmare Fuel?
A Hat in Time is a quirky and colorful game inspired by 3D platformers of the 90s. Most of the game is bright and goofy…and then there’s one chapter that turns this otherwise cute game into pure nightmare fuel. Queen Vanessa’s Manor, which somehow manages to be one of the scariest gaming experiences of my…
FNAF UCN’s Spoopiest Animatronics
One of the biggest horror franchises in gaming at the moment is Five Nights at Freddy’s. (I know, it’s a surprise you haven’t heard of it…super forced sarcasm…) While known for plenty of scary games that place the player in claustrophobic situations, where you’re forced to fend off multiple killer anomatronics, the games are no…
Once Human is All Kinds of Spoopy!
Some how, some way, Once Human has burrowed its crazy survival-crafting ways into my heart, and as much as I’ve already talked about it recently, I just cannot let go of it yet. But that’s a good thing when it comes to us revisiting Spooptober, because it is truly the spoopiest game I’ve played since…well,…
Revenge of Spooptober!
Is it October already?! Oh yes, it certainly is! As such, we are ready and raring to celebrate yet another spooky season with a month of posts to match. This time around, however, we’ve got our sights set on a silly-scary blast from the past. First there was October is Spooptober, then there was Spooptober…
Spooptober: Jack Skellington
We’ve spent this year’s Spooptober talking about all those video game characters that wound up being much less frightening than they first appeared. Not everyone fit the idea to a T (cough cough Grunty cough), but we’ve been able to explore a variety of characters all the same. My last choice for the month is…
Spooptober: Mora
For my final #Spooptober pick, I wracked my brain a bit to come up with a character that was both made in the image of something I truly find scary and turned out to be friendly in the most surprising way possible. It turned out that my brain didn’t have to work that hard, because…
Spooptober: Wise Mothman
To Bethesda’s credit, Fallout 76 is a game that’s much better than it once was. Between when I started playing the game in 2019 and now, it’s become more enjoyable and less broken, both good things. But the one good thing the game had going for it all along is its lore. Setting the game…
Spooptober: Trollololo
I would venture that most of us might pause upon stumbling across a formidable creature with a penchant for bashing in heads and a taste for human giblets. And further, if we were armed with any sort of weapon, desiring to injure the large beastie before it had any chance to inflict harm upon us…
Spooptober： Unagi the Eel is Just Chillin’
Hello everyone and welcome back to Spooptober! We’re all psyched to be bringing it back for Halloween this year since, frankly, it’s a perfect year for it. There’s been plenty of truly scary stuff in 2022 already, so why not take some time to focus on our favorite spooks who turned out to not be…
