VICE Gaming ranks the twenty best games of the year, and UNTIL DAWN takes the #12 spot!

12
Until Dawn
(Supermassive Games; PlayStation 4)

One of the year’s sleeper hits, Until Dawn lines up a gaggle of (older-looking) teenage stereotypes in order for the player to attempt to keep them alive in the face of isolated mountainside terror. Except, once you realize you’re directing proceedings, it’s just as much fun to bump a few off. After all, what good horror film lets everyone live?

Head over to VICE for the full list of the 20 best games of the year.

Glass Eye Pix Gets Real with SATAN HATES YOU Director James Felix McKenney
by Gregory Burkart

The folks at indie horror powerhouse Glass Eye Pix continue to celebrate their 30th Anniversary with the next installment in an ongoing series of mini-documentaries on the company’s many creative collaborators and contributors (if you missed it, be sure to check out this profile of animator Beck Underwood, whose work with creepy dolls and toys will chill and delight you).

Today’s chapter focuses on James Felix McKenney — a man who has donned many horror hats over the past three decades: he’s the man behind cult horror projects AUTOMATONS, HYPOTHERMIA and SATAN HATES YOU; he founded his own production company Monsterpants Movies; and he was the very first full-time employee of Glass Eye Pix founder (and beloved genre icon) Larry Fessenden (HABIT, THE LAST WINTER). He’s since become manager on several of their projects, including the current season of the hit horror radio show TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE.

Watch the mini-doc below and find out what horrific mischief he’s up to now!

Our 30th Anniversary Hootenanny continues with this series of Legacy Docs celebrating the community and collaborators that have kept us honest all these years…

Rue Morgue reviews THE LARRY FESSENDEN COLLECTION, out now on Blu-ray
Monday, December 7, 2015

by JEFF SZPIRGLAS

Over the last quarter century, New York-based filmmaker Larry Fessenden has been taking horror tropes and turning them on their ear, crafting a series of personal ruminations on our relationships with the environment, and each other. Fessenden imbues his movies with a unique sensibility, deconstructing the horror genre as much as he adds to it. Four of his features have been upgraded to high-def and are now neatly packaged in a set from Scream Factory.
…

These four discs comprise an impressively comprehensive collection. While Fessenden’s big ideas and inventive filmmaking approach are sometimes heavy-handed, he’s a man with a message and passion to spare, as evident on the supplementary material and commentary tracks, in which he dwells on all aspects of production, down to the minutiae of the action figures used for the opening credits of WENDIGO.

Indiewire presents a guided meditation unlike any you’ve tried before! Graham Reznick’s THE CHAMBERS TAPE is streaming now.

Indiewire presents James Felix McKenny’s Season 3 TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE episode, THE TRIBUNAL OF MINOS.

Graham Reznick’s TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE season 3 episode THE CHAMBERS TAPE just hit #1 on iTunes Fiction Audiobooks. Check it out!

Ken W. Hanley, writing for Fangoria, just reviewed the third season of TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE.

TALES strongest season to date, providing bold, wickedly entertaining stories that stir up one’s imagination with mischievous glee. And furthermore, with an assembly of terrific performers and storytellers by their side, there’s an inherently unique air about this season of TALES that certainly separates it from season’s past, offering a structural and tonal continuity that impressively feels much more carefully curated than previous iterations.
…

Overall, with a murderer’s row of horror voices and actors involved, not only is TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE’s third season incredibly worthwhile but a masterful example at how audio production can be used effectively within the genre. With impressive sound design, mixing, foley work and editing, this anthology radio play series plunges the listener into its many nightmarish worlds effectively and with unflinching resolve. So if you’re looking to creep out your fellow carpoolers or if you just need a scary story for a dark and stormy night, look no further than this latest batch of TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE.
