This Teaser For The Metro: Last Light Short Film Is Chilling
I was afraid the Metro series would die after the fantastic, but sadly overlooked Metro 2033. Thankfully, THQ is giving us a sequel and it looks just haunting as the original. 2033 remains as one of the most atmospheric and spine-chilling games I’ve ever played, and anyone who had to silently creep past the ghosts in those empty tunnels is fully aware of just how intensely unnerving that game could be. We haven’t seen much from the game since its announcement last year, but on May 24th at 11am EST/8 am PST we’ll get what looks like a fantastically creepy live-action short film to help get us in the mood for Metro: Last Light. Head past the break for the painfully brief teaser.
Metro: Last Light is planned to release in the first quarter of 2013 for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii U.

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.”
