[Exclusive] ‘Phantom Halls’ Launches With “Groovy” Early Adopter Bonus!

Published

on

Those hungry for squad-based action gaming with a side of comedy are in luck with Incendium and their debut game, Phantom Halls! Launching today on Steam Early Access for $6.99/£5.99, Phantom Halls sees players take on the role of guiding multiple characters at once through a procedurally-generated environment (think a real-time version of Worms meets Spelunky). The initial version of the game will feature ten playable characters (including “the neckbeard” and “the tumblrite”), 12 enemy types, and a procedurally-generated multi-storey mansion with half a dozen distinct environment types.

As an added bonus, Incendium founder and creative lead Llexi Leon (who also works as creative director on Iron Maiden’s mobile game, Legacy of the Beast) states that early adopters can also grab a special bonus: The ability to play as everyone’s favourite boomstick-wielding hero, Ash from Evil Dead 2! Players will be able to control Ash as they navigate through the mansion, completing “a series of unique Evil Dead 2 inspired quests” along the way.

Want more? Leon drops hints that with Steam Early Access being “a fantastic testing bed” for the Incendium team to work out what players want in the game, it also includes potentially putting in more classic horror icons! Head on over to the game’s official site for more info, or head to the game’s Steam page to plunk down and play!

‘Late Night With the Devil’ – Exclusive Clip Begins the Supernatural Horror on Halloween 1977

Published

on

The upcoming Late Night With the Devil is one of the most buzzed about horror movies of the year, currently 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and earning rave reviews from both Stephen King and Kevin Smith. King raves that the film is “absolutely brilliant,” adding that he couldn’t take his eyes off it. Smith comments, “I love it. It’s Rosemary’s Baby meets Network.”

David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as the host of a late-night talk show that descends into a nightmare in the Ghostwatch and WNUF Halloween Special-inspired film.

IFC Films & Shudder will release the hotly anticipated Late Night with the Devil theatrically on March 22 before it heads to Shudder exclusively on April 19, 2024.

Begin the horror with a brand new EXCLUSIVE clip below…

David Dastmalchian stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of “Night Owls,” and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence.

The energetic and innovative feature hails from Australian writing-directing team Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign). 

The film premiered last year at SXSW. Meagan wrote in her review out of the fest, “Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style. It’s a clever trojan horse for a surprising horror movie that goes full throttle on unhinged demonic mayhem.

“The ingenuity, the painstaking period recreation, a riveting performance by Dastmalchian, and a showstopper of a finale make for one Halloween event you won’t want to miss.”

Spooky Pictures founders Roy Lee (It, The Grudge, The Ring) and Steven Schneider (Pet Sematary, Paranormal Activity, Insidious), Derek Dauchy (“Al Kameen”) and Future Pictures’ Mat Govoni (“Lone Wolf”) and Adam White (“Lone Wolf”) and John Molloy are all producing.

Joel Anderson (Lake Mungo), Rami Yasin, and David Dastmalchian executive produce.
