Fatal Frame IV Finally Coming to the States, But There’s A Catch
Update: Just to clarify, this was an April Fool’s Day joke (As if you didn’t know this already).
For years survival horror fans have been waiting for the Fatal Frame IV to bring its scrawny ass to the US. Today, all our wishes are finally coming true, but not without a pretty big catch. Some fans may still see this as a good thing, but all good things come with a price, and Fatal Frame IV’s long awaited journey to our shores is not different.
Let’s start with the good news. First, we’ll finally be able to play the game. That’s pretty great, right? Second, it’s coming to us in an incredibly cool package, filled with goodies. Now for the bad news: you’re going to have to save up for this one kiddies, because it’s not cheap. Oh, and it’s still Wii-exclusive, and that’s always bad news. Am I right? Head past the break to see the brand new Fatal Frame IV Wii bundle, in all its dark and gloomy glory. We now know the only way we’ll be able to get our grubby hands on this game is by also getting a brand new, limited edition black Wii console. The bundle also comes with two Wii MotionPlus controllers, snazzy box art and an incredibly cool Camera Obscura replica. And all for the paltry price of $279.99. I’d keep going but it looks like I’m going to have to get my very own street corner to afford this thing.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
