Safe Room’s Most Wanted Horror Games of 2022 [Safe Room Podcast]

Published

on

The start of a new year can be a chaotic period. Recalling personal milestones from the previous year while scrambling to create lax resolutions for the new one can be a chore. 

Thankfully, we have the medium of games to turn to when it’s time to ground ourselves. And much like with other aspects of life, we look back at the games we played or missed from the previous year while looking to new and exciting releases that are to come. 

And that’s exactly how Neil and I are kicking off the New Year, as we shake off our podcast webs to chat about our most anticipated horror games of 2022 (as well as one or two we missed last year)!

We each picked eight games (hopefully!) coming out this year, and discussed exactly why we can’t wait to get our hands on them. We talk about big names like Evil Dead, and Dying Light 2, as well as intriguing indie horrors such as Dread Delusion and Immortality.

A new episode of Safe Room is released every Monday, and is available on all major platforms. Feel free to browse our LinkTree for a complete list of services: linktr.ee/SafeRoomPodcast

John Carpenter’s ‘Prince of Darkness’ Is Flawed But Undeniably Original [Halloweenies Podcast]

Published

on

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.
