Papercraft Horror Game ‘Phantom Halls’ is Getting a Big Free Festive Update [Exclusive]
Phantom Halls turned out to be one of our favorite games of 2018 thanks to its affectionate ribbing of B-Movie horror sensibilities (oh, and Ash from Evil Dead 2 is a DLC character. That helped too) so more of it is always welcome.
So good tidings to its developer Incedium Games for revealing to us exclusively that Phantom Halls is getting a significant free festive update on Christmas Eve. Bringing fresh fun and fear to the game’s haunted houses.
The update will include not only a Christmas-theme addition to the game, but also one for Chinese New Year. Both will feature new quests and new enemy types designed with the related holiday in mind. All for the great big price of nada.
As well as these big themed updates, there will be an expansion to the meta-game, with achievements and improved game stats being added.
Phantom Hall‘s creative director Llexi Leon gave us a brief description of what’s happening in the story of the festive update.

‘Late Night With the Devil’ – Exclusive Clip Begins the Supernatural Horror on Halloween 1977
The upcoming Late Night With the Devil is one of the most buzzed about horror movies of the year, currently 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and earning rave reviews from both Stephen King and Kevin Smith. King raves that the film is “absolutely brilliant,” adding that he couldn’t take his eyes off it. Smith comments, “I love it. It’s Rosemary’s Baby meets Network.”
David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as the host of a late-night talk show that descends into a nightmare in the Ghostwatch and WNUF Halloween Special-inspired film.
IFC Films & Shudder will release the hotly anticipated Late Night with the Devil theatrically on March 22 before it heads to Shudder exclusively on April 19, 2024.
Begin the horror with a brand new EXCLUSIVE clip below…
David Dastmalchian stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of “Night Owls,” and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence.
The energetic and innovative feature hails from Australian writing-directing team Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign).
The film premiered last year at SXSW. Meagan wrote in her review out of the fest, “Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style. It’s a clever trojan horse for a surprising horror movie that goes full throttle on unhinged demonic mayhem.
“The ingenuity, the painstaking period recreation, a riveting performance by Dastmalchian, and a showstopper of a finale make for one Halloween event you won’t want to miss.”
Spooky Pictures founders Roy Lee (It, The Grudge, The Ring) and Steven Schneider (Pet Sematary, Paranormal Activity, Insidious), Derek Dauchy (“Al Kameen”) and Future Pictures’ Mat Govoni (“Lone Wolf”) and Adam White (“Lone Wolf”) and John Molloy are all producing.
Joel Anderson (Lake Mungo), Rami Yasin, and David Dastmalchian executive produce.
