‘Night Terrors’ Will Make You Afraid of Your Own Home
As the market for augmented reality games (ARGs) continues to grow, so does the number of games that are aiming to use this exciting new genre in ways that terrify us. The latest to catch my eye is something called Night Terrors, and what makes this game particularly intriguing is what it aims to do. That is, transforming your home into a haunted house.
Gone are the days that required blood sacrifices and costly summoning rituals to conjure angry spirits. Soon, you’ll be able to accomplish this with an app. Take a look.
Night Terrors is currently seeking funding on Indiegogo, where its developer hopes to raise $70,000. As I’m writing this, it’s about a third of the way there with 36 days left in the campaign.
Aside from filling your home, or wherever you happen to be when you open the app, into a virtual haunting ground, this developer wants to dethrone Amnesia as the scariest game ever. According to some words I found on their crowdfunding campaign, they’re planning on achieving this by creating a uniquely personal horror experience with a storyline that revolves around you. There’s no avatar to serve as a pillowy barrier between you and whatever horrors they’ve come up with.
This sounds like my kind of game. I’ll need to verify that it won’t be populating my apartment with clowns first, but once I know Pennywise isn’t waiting for me in my bathroom, I imagine this app could be quite a lot of fun.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
