New ‘Fatal Frame’ Trailer Brings the Scares
After a bit of a wait, Nintendo and developer Koei Tecmo have revealed the next entry in their supernatural horror franchise, and it looks creepy. Fatal Frame: The Black Haired Shrine Maiden will release exclusively on the Wii U on September 27 in Japan. The fact that no Western release was even mentioned doesn’t really surprise me, but that doesn’t make it any less disappointing. I hope we’ll get a chance to play it, because if this trailer is any indication, the game looks fantastic.
Also worth noting is the focus on water as a central theme of the game. Silent Hill: Downpour did this too, and it turned out pretty great.

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.”
