“Evil Dead 2 x Phantom Halls” Hits Today!
Two weeks ago, we told you about the new update to Incendium Games’ Phantom Halls, which included additions to its Evil Dead 2 component referred to as “Evil Dead 2 x Phantom Halls”. Well, that day has arrived, and with it comes a brand new trailer!
“Evil Dead 2 x Phantom Halls” marks the first major videogame release for the Evil Dead in 12 years, and features brand new Evil Dead 2-themed quests, enemies, traps and environments for you to battle through as Ash. These include deadites, evil tree spirits, an angry necronomion, and more!
New environments and locations from Evil Dead 2 expand the grounds of the Phantom Halls mansion, including the infamous cabin, which has been meticulously recreated in the game’s trademark papercraft style. New gameplay mechanics include mini-boss battles – face off against the freakish Gooseneck and battle your way to an upgraded Evil Ash showdown!
To get in on the fun, head over to Phantom Halls‘ Steam page, and gas up that chainsaw.

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.”
