I have friends I can crash with and I have airline miles I can use, so you just might see me at this. Are you a Suspiria fan in Texas? Then you’re in luck! Housecore Horror Film Festival, “the ultimate 3-day, underground fan event celebrating the twisted line where horror films and heavy metal meet”, just came out swinging.

ZombiU

Award Winning Composer Cris Velasco To Score ZombiU

If you haven’t heard the name Cris Velasco there is still a good chance you’ve played one of the games he’s scored. Such titles as Mass Effect 3, Borderlands 2, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Darksiders, Tron: Evolution, Prototype and Clive Barker’s Jericho are just a few in the long list of games he has scored. Well he will be adding one more to his resume by creating the score for the WiiU exclusive ZombiU. Velasco is going to haunt our dreams with such sounds as “detuned toys and instruments, carnival organs, distorted guitars, and haunting ambient textures, contrasted with the intimate emotion of piano and string quintet compositions.” That right there is almost enough reason for me to buy a WiiU. November 13 the game will be released.
