Fulci Meets ‘Clock Tower’ in Puppet Combo’s ‘The Glass Staircase’ [Safe Room Podcast]
Before diving into this week’s episode of Safe Room, check out last week’s discussion on Variable State’s Virginia.
This week’s episode sees the return of our Chopping Block segment, in which one of us assigns the other spooky HW in an attempt to help us tackle our collectively growing back catalogs.
And for this edition, Neil has picked The Glass Staircase from Puppet Combo, which continues the developer’s streak of homages to classic survival horror with an influence injection of Italian splatter gore films. We cover the game’s dream-like aesthetic, world-building, and how The Glass Staircase leaves a distinctive mark within Puppet Combo’s extensive catalog. – Jay Krieger

The Halloweenies cool off from the hot hot heat and splish splash with giant alligators as they revisit Alexandre Aja‘s 2019 creature feature Crawl.
Together, they discuss their love (or hate) for the timeless terror, their investment in Barry Pepper, and, uh, Demolition Man. Don’t ask. It should be noted this episode was recorded in September 2024 and is being unlocked for the summer. Oh, it’s also produced by Sam Raimi.
