A Tense Escape Room, a 90s Horror Tribute and More in November’s Horror Bytes [Safe Room Podcast]
Before diving into this month’s edition of Horror Bytes, please give last week’s debut of The Inventory (our monthly review show) a listen.
Another month, another edition of Horror Bytes, our segment highlighting short indie horror experiences! This month we have recruited returning friend of the show, Chris White, who brought Neil and me a healthy stable of horror titles. From surviving the prowling antagonist of Suffer The Night to the drill maintenance madness of The Other Side, this month’s picks highlight various sinister and spooky titles.
And as always, we ask that if you can do so, support the developers behind these games through their itch.io, steam, or Patreon pages.
The shelter keeps you safe from the horrors of the outside world. So naturally, you must break out. The Other Side combines a tense atmosphere with drill simulator mechanics to make for a taut slice of horror.
Uninvited guests are bad enough, now imagine one wants to kill you! Try to survive your killer guest while uncovering the mystery behind a strange computer game that showed up on your doorstep.
Camping in the bug-infested wilderness is already bad enough, but now you have to contend with *something* that patrols the particular woods you have decided to set up camp in. Try to survive the night while finding your missing significant other.
Common car troubles are exacerbated by the surreal and strange town filled with mannequins and ghostly apparitions that fill it. Try to solve cryptic riddles to uncover the mysteries of our protagonist’s past.
Safe Room is a weekly horror video game discussion podcast with new episodes every Monday on iTunes/Apple, Sticher, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Linktree for additional streaming services.

John Carpenter’s ‘Prince of Darkness’ Is Flawed But Undeniably Original [Halloweenies Podcast]
John Carpenter is back with a new album next week: Lost Themes IV: Noir.
To celebrate, the Halloweenies are unlocking their past episode from January 2022 on the maestro’s 1987 relic, Prince of Darkness. Join Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, McKenzie Gerber, and Rachel Reeves in the basement of a Los Angeles monastery as they decipher their feelings on the curious case study of the crossroads between science and faith.
Together, they debate whether or not this intriguing intersection overpowers the narrative and characters, chart where this fits in Carpenter’s overall oeuvre, and meditate on a few what-ifs in the casting department. They also marvel at the pulsing score, discuss its parallels to Inferno, and try to make sense of the mythos at the center.
So, go to the mirror and listen below. Subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. New to the Halloweenies? Catch up with the gang by revisiting their essential episodes on past franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream, The Evil Dead, and Chucky. This year? Alien.
You can also become a member of their Patreon, The Rewind, for hilariously irreverent commentaries (e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Gremlins), one-off deep dives on your favorite rentals (e.g. Saw, The Changeling), and even topical spinoffs like this past summer’s greatest adventure Fortune & Glory: An Indiana Jones Podcast.
