The Inventory: Reviews of ‘Scorn’, ‘Saturnalia’, ‘Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed’, and More! [Safe Room Podcast]
Before diving into this week’s new episode, please give last week’s discussion on the recently announced Silent Hill 2 remake and spinoffs!
Horror fans have been feasting as of late. Whether you’re a fan of AAA, Indie, or both, there is no shortage of not only entertaining but, arguably more important, innovative games out there. And with so many games being released these days, we decided that we wanted a way to discuss several titles released in a given month, and thus The Inventory was born.
The Inventory is our monthly review show, in which we amass some of the latest (and hopefully) greatest horror games released within a given month and discuss their merits or lack thereof.
And for October, there was certainly no shortage of spooky delights that we reviewed, such as:
A Plague Tale Requiem
Withering Rooms
Prodeus
Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed
Saturnalia
Signalis
Scorn
We are always looking for recommendations, so if you played a standout horror game this month, feel free to comment below or email us at SafeRoomPod@Gmail.com or tweet us @SafeRoomPod!
Safe Room is a weekly horror video game discussion podcast with new episodes every Monday on

After kicking off July with discussions of Joe Dante’s seminal werewolf film The Howling (listen) and Ken Russell’s controversial erotic thriller Crimes of Passion (listen), we’re heading to Maine to dissect one of Stephen King‘s most misguided adaptations in Lawrence Kasdan‘s 2003 misfire Dreamcatcher!
Dreamcatcher sees friends Henry (Thomas Jane), Jonesy (Damian Lewis), Pete (Timothy Olyphant) and Beaver (Jason Lee) reunite for their annual hunting trip in Maine. Their reunion is cut short when they find themselves caught in the middle of a war between a hostile race of farty-farty aliens and an elite US military unit led by Colonel Abraham Curtis (Morgan Freeman), who has been driven mad after spending decades tracking the extraterrestrials. When Jonesy is possessed by one of the aliens, the remaining friends seek out their disabled childhood friend Duddits (Donnie Wahlberg), who they believe has powers that can save Jonesy…and the world.

Episode 396: Dreamcatcher (2003)
Watch out for “ister gay” (oof), take some Gas-X and bite our bags because we’re talking Lawrence Kasdan’s baffling 2003 adaptation of Stephen King’s equally baffling novel Dreamcatcher.
Join us as we go all in on the farty-farty aliens populating this hilarious misfire that often feels like a bad Kevin Smith script. It’s a film filled with characters who get a single defining trait (if they’re lucky), played by respectable actors who are here for the paycheck (looking at you, Morgan Freeman).
Plus: blown-out assholes, using guns as telephones, pitying poor Donnie Wahlberg, and wondering why the hell this movie is called Dreamcatcher.
Cross out Dreamcatcher!
Coming Up Next: We’re going to be lounging around a posh Greenwich Village apartment as we check in on Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly in Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window (1954).
