Haunt Your House With ‘Night Terrors’
The idea behind developer Novum Analytics’ experimental horror game Night Terrors is so, so simple. That’s probably why it was able to crowdfund about $50k when so many other mobile games struggle to raise a fraction of that. It’s effectively a ‘haunt your house’ app that transforms your mobile phone into a window to another dimension inhabited by the sort of things that go bump in the night.
Intrigued? Just wait until you see this augmented reality game in action.
Night Terrors is a supernatural horror game that revolves around a camera, but not at all in the same way that Fatal Frame or DreadOut are. It swaps out the virtual worlds we usually explore in these types of games for a reality we’re intimately familiar with.
There’s no release date yet, though it doesn’t sound like we’ll be waiting much longer for it. Novum sent out the first build to their beta testers last week, along with an update on its development.
“We’re gaining momentum and are happy to be finally testing our tech,” wrote Novum in a post on the Night Terrors Indiegogo page. “Thanks for everyone’s patience with this project. Its been quite an undertaking to get this software working on mobile platforms, and we’re excited that we’re finally to a point where we’re comfortable with moving forward for iOS. Android is coming soon.”
This does leave us with a mildly unsettling question: who, and how, are we going to call about these ghosts we ain’t afraid of when Night Terrors needs our phones to conjure the ghosts? We need an answer to this question fast so we can all finally have demon roommates, just like Katie and Micah — and you’re Micah this time, I get to be Katie and I’m also superpowered demon Katie when we act out the sequels.

‘Hellraiser: Resurrections’ – BOOM! Studios Event Unleashes Five Brand New One-Shot Comics [Exclusive]
BOOM! Studios recently announced that three classic Clive Barker Hellraiser comic books are coming back to shelves, and we’ve got another exciting exclusive for you today.
Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that BOOM! Studios will return to the labyrinthine horrors of Clive Barker’s legendary Hellraiser universe with five all-new one-shots this Fall!
A brand new generation of creators will explore the untold corners of Clive Barker’s infernal mythology, revisiting iconic Cenobites while introducing terrifying new stories that expand the boundaries of the Hellscape itself with Hellraiser: Resurrections.
Each week through the month of September, a new chapter of damnation arrives, revealing the forces gathering in the shadows. The descent begins with HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – NEW WOUNDS #1 from writer Mike Costa and artist Paco Camallonga as they draw readers into the hedonistic world of Hellraiser.
When an investigation into the mysterious Puzzle Box goes sideways, the gateways to Hell open anew.
Then, hear the unmistakable chattering of death itself in HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE ONANISTIC RITUAL #1 from writer Zac Thompson and artist Gavin Mitchell.
The Chatterer bares his teeth for a brand-new mission. His goal? To reclaim his rightful place as the right hand of the Hell Priest himself!
Next, venture deeper into the hierarchy of Hell with HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE DEEP GOSPEL #1 from writer Tini Howard and artist Jenna Cha.
The Female Cenobite was dead. Or close to it…until the Engineer found her. But when she rejects the Engineer’s plans for her remaking, she’s cast down into the harrowing Nidus: the place where the larval stage of Cenobites fight to survive. She’s been here before and made it out alive—and she’ll do it again.
The horrors continue in HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – HELL’S COUNCIL #1 from writer Nero Villagallos O’Reilly and artist Francesca Ciregia.
We saw the fall of Butterball at the end of Hellbound: Hellraiser II. Now we’ll witness his rise as the wounded Cenobite is taken in by a mysterious do-gooder who slowly nurses him back to health, all while worming her way into his brain…and maybe even his heart?
Finally, the event culminates with HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE RETURN OF THE PRIEST #1 from writer Sarah Gailey and artist Alessio Avallone.
Caught in the sensory deprivation of Middle Hell, Elliot Spencer suffers the worst fate: no feeling at all. When the glory of Leviathan’s light finally sears through him, granting him the gift of pain—it’s revelatory. The Hell Priest must journey to remake himself and gather his Gash once more to bring the cherished blessing of pain to all that deserve it.
From fresh visions of beloved Cenobites to horrifying new revelations hidden within the depths of Hell, Hellraiser: Resurrections serves as both a celebration of Clive Barker’s enduring mythology and the first chapter of an exciting new era for the franchise. The series kicks off a new publishing initiative that will bring a new Hellraiser ongoing series and miniseries to life through 2027.
Hellraiser: Resurrections begins this September with five weekly one-shots from BOOM! and distributed by Penguin Random House. You can preorder the series at your local comic shops and digitally through major content providers, including Kindle, iBooks, and Google Play.
