Dead Air: Gamespot's Horror Podcast

Mike, Peter, Justin, and Jake delve into Resident Evil 7's E3 reveal, along with Dead Rising 4, Days Gone, and State of Decay 2 – get ready to talk zombies.

Mike, Zorine, Jess, and Matt discuss the legacy of the seminal Japanese horror series, along with their favorite entries, least favorite entries, and the chances of ever seeing a Silent Hill game again.

Mike, Mary, and Pete look back on the cultural phenomenon that was P.T., the "playable teaser" that veiled the announcement of Silent Hills, a new installment in the storied horror franchise. As history tells us, Silent Hills would encounter obstacles during Kojima's stint in horror, and abruptly fade into history. On this episode, we look back on that seminal experience.

Mike, Mary, and Jake and Peter talk about found footage style movies and what it's done for the horror genre. Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch, V.H.S, Borderlands and more are discussed as we talk about the best, the worst, and the downright sad. 

Mike, Mary, Justin, and Jake pick apart Cabin in the Woods and Until Dawn, two titles that have become cult classics in their respective media. They compare the two, contrast the two, and in general, wax poetic about both. Except Justin. He's just a negative guy.

Mike, Mary, and Jake discuss their most anticipated horror films of the year, as well as ones they finally got around to seeing recently, including The Witch, Green Room, and It Follows. Also! A reader email prompts a discussion about gore in cinema.

Mike and Mary are back from Boston with a handful of new horror titles to discuss. Also, the first segment of Letters from the Crypt is here, where readers can recommend games or movies and ask questions about the weird world of horror.

Considering Microsoft's announcement that it won't be making Xbox 360 consoles anymore, we figured it was as good a time as any to look back at the machine's horror library. Mary is out this week, so Mike brought on Justin and Jake to talk about Condemned, Left 4 Dead, and Dead Space.  

It's an intercontinental affair as Mary and Mike are joined by horror doyens Jess and Zorine to talk about the best scares indie games have offered so far. Join us as we chat about what made Amnesia so effective, as well as look forward to games like Allison Road and Outlast 2.

Mike, Mary, and Peter Brown discuss how virtual reality is changing jump scares, unsettling atmospheres, and unreliable storytelling. And Mike's fear of heights. And Peter's inclination toward jumping from them.

Mike, Mary, and Zorine discuss the Resident Evil franchise, its impact on the wider genre of survival/horror games, and their own personal histories with the iconic series.
