TerrorBytes: The Evolution of Horror Gaming | AUSRETROGAMER
Our good friend Richard Moss, who has written some awesome books and produced great podcasts, has now turned his talent into movie making, specifically a documentary series called TerrorBytes: The Evolution of Horror Gaming.
TerrorBytes will be five hour-long episodes, each digging into a different aspect of horror gaming — survival horror, licensed (and unlicensed but closely-inspired by film/book/TV) horror, FMV and interactive movie horror, indie horror, and “cursed and controversial” horror games (i.e., horror games that were banned, censored, or that never existed beyond an urban myth).
To whet your bloodthirsty appetite, TerrorBytes will be interviewing 40 well-known people from the horror gaming genre, including (but not limited to!):
- Ken and Roberta Williams (Sierra co-founders; Phantasmagoria)
- Jane Jensen (Gabriel Knight)
- David Mullich (I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Dark Seed II)
- Graeme Devine (The 7th Guest, The 11th Hour)
- Rob Fulop (Night Trap)
- Noah Falstein (Sinistar)
- Hifumi Kouno (Clock Tower)
- Hubert Chardot (Alone in the Dark)
- Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill composer)
- John Romero (DOOM, Quake)
- James Rolfe (aka The Angry Video Game Nerd)
- Christopher Carton (author of A Guide to Movie Based Games)
TerraBytes: The Evolution of Horror Gaming can be pre-ordered now, but you better hurry if you want all the ghoulish goodies, as this pre-sales window closes on March 3rd!
