What Other Classic Horror Games Deserve Reboots?
The arrival of the PS4 and Xbox One ushered in a new chapter for video games, and much like almost every console generation before it, the consoles will inevitably be followed by a steady stream of reboots, remasters and re-releases.
Sony and Microsoft’s consoles haven’t even been out a year and Atari has already revealed “reimaginings” of two of their survival horror classics, Alone in the Dark and Haunted House, which will be followed by an HD remaster of the Resident Evil REmake.
This is just the beginning. More will follow, I guarantee it.
Assuming it’s given enough attention to justify a re-release, which classic horror game(s) would you like to see again? I have a working list in my head, but if I had to narrow it down to my top three picks the list would likely include System Shock 2, Silent Hill and Resident Evil 2.
Okay, I’ve shown you mine, now you have to show me yours!

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.”
