Check In If You Dare: 13 Terrifying Videogame Haunted Houses for Halloween

There’s more than 13 videogame haunted houses to explore, and what’s presented here is a list worth the time to visit, and lose your mind over….

Chibi gamer with Pac-Man ghosts Videogame Haunted HousesHonestly, I doubt I can get through all the videogame haunted houses that are out there. When considering the classics to what’s new, there’s a lot! And to narrow down what are my top thirteen choices, that’s tough to do! I’d probably lose my sanity if I tried to play them all over a Halloween weekend. By the end, I’d probably look wide-eyed and droopy, with huge shadows underneath my eyes! While I have my favourite video game haunted houses to crawl through, I’ll only offer full entries on five titles I’m looking forward to playing, with the rest noted with a trailer.

From campy ghost hunts and psychological journeys into grief to shifting mansions, tightly scripted nightmares, and even a house that fights back, I think I’ve covered just about every kind of haunted house possible.

Look on, if you dare, because honey, even after one night of ghostbusting, those ghosts will just come back! And before we embark on this spooky little journey, I have just one thing to say: Sorry, Luigi, you’ve been dethroned.

The Beast of Mossy Bottom: Four Hilarious Reasons Ewe Will Love Shaun the Sheep

Aardman’s expressive flock delivers plenty of laughs in this kid-friendly Halloween romp. Not everything has to be scary, and Shaun the Sheep The Beast of Mossy Bottom nicely gives fans young and old something to guffaw at. And we got news too about the home video release:

Shaun the Sheep The Beast of Mossy Bottom DVD
Available to preorder on Amazon USA now

GKIDS & StudioCanal
Available on VOD
Coming to Blu-ray and DVD January 26, 2027.

As a kid-friendly film for the season, Shaun the Sheep The Beast of Mossy Bottom brings a little scare to its quiet hamlet. Shaun has come a long way since his introduction in Wallace & Gromit: A Close Shave (1995). That little sheep went on to lead his own TV series in 2007, with the Farmer, Bitzer the dog and the flock turning life into anything but a quiet country retreat. Aardman built this world around visual gags and expressive characters. Nobody needs a proper conversation for us to understand who’s causing trouble.

The leap to features gave that mischief more room to roam. Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015) took the flock to the big city, while Farmageddon (2019) brought an alien visitor to the countryside. For someone who loves silent films like I do, the appeal is easy to understand. A look, a gesture or a badly timed mishap can carry the joke. That’s nothing to bleat at, pardon the pun.

Don’t You Forget About The Weird Kidz…. Life Can Be Full of Regrets Afterwards!

When The Weird Kidz knows what it wants to be in its EC Comics style movie poster, everything else about this animated nightmare coming to life simply falls into place!

The Weird Kidz 2022 Poster
After the summer Embrace the Weird Tour, the gang is ready for what’s next, a theatrical run and now streaming on your favourite service.

Now out on VOD is The Weird Kidz, an animated film that feels like The Breakfast Club meets Them! No detention brings these kids together. They’re heading past the highway and into the dark desert just to get away. Whatever’s in the air, they’re going to find out. There will be things to stop them cold and make them scream, “Is this heaven or hell?”

Okay, I’m being vague to avoid spoiling the story. High-school rebel Wyatt (Ellar Coltrane) and his girlfriend Mary (Sydney Wharton) might think they’re getting some private time, but that isn’t the case. Along for the ride are Dug (Tess Passero), Wyatt’s younger brother, and his pals Fatt (Brian Ceely) and Mel (Glenn Bolton). A few of these lads take an interest in Mary too. They’re at that awkward stage of growing up, but thankfully she can mostly keep them at bay.  Continue reading “Don’t You Forget About The Weird Kidz…. Life Can Be Full of Regrets Afterwards!”

Oh the Irony! Dead Media on VOD is Coming Sooner Than You Think!

Who needs a haunted DVD and zombie mayhem when Dead Media on VOD does it all? Namely, a reminder of why physical media still matters.

Dead Media on VOD Movie PosterComing to Prime Video, YouTube, Fandango, and Moonbeem.

With Dead Media on VOD, you’ll be glad watching it on demand won’t cost anyone their soul! This fun throwback reminds audiences why home releases matter. You can read my review here. With VHS, mixtapes and vinyl making a comeback among those who feel the future isn’t friendly, perhaps it’s time to revisit what these formats offer. As long as they’re not cursed!

That’s what Maggie and her friends face when her uncle visits and insists they watch Night of the Lurchers on disc instead of through a streaming service. Watching it digitally feels rather ironic given the story, but it’s still a hoot and a holler for those who love their zombie movies with a meaningful narrative.

A Tale of Two Cities: Arkham and Innsmouth Brings The Ultimate Lovecraftian Miniature Collection to Kickstarter

Questron’s ZombieMania brings more than 400 Lovecraftian character miniatures to Kickstarter with A Tale of Two Cities: Arkham and Innsmouth. The campaign offers individual hobbyists an opportunity to obtain the digital files for personal use.

Questron Sculpting Company logoNow Live on Kickstarter!

The Spanish 3D sculpting company Questron‘s ZombieMania has launched A Tale of Two Cities: Arkham and Innsmouth on Kickstarter, and the campaign has already met its funding goal. As for which township is the nicer place to live, only the buyers will know!

Interest in the collection reflects the appeal of character models, which are often hidden behind larger boxed sets. This collection shifts the focus to where it counts, offering more than 400 character miniatures as 31mm STL files for 3D printing. As for where to get them after the campaign ends, only time will tell and if the company changes their plans.

The project also has a commercial objective. While the Kickstarter gives individual backers an opportunity to obtain the digital files for personal use, Questron’s primary goal is to connect with online and physical retailers interested in expanding their miniature ranges. According to the studio, the models will not be available for personal-use purchase after the campaign.

Future availability through its own store will be restricted to commercial licences.

Can you introduce the company, its history, the artists involved, and the goals behind this project?

Sample CharactersWe are Questron, a sculpting studio with 15 years of experience creating models for game developers. You can see examples of our work in our Facebook albums page.

For some time, we have also been releasing our own creations through another Kickstarter account, Generic Miniatures. We have now decided to give our horror figures their own identity and a separate Kickstarter account, ZombieMania. Arkham and Innsmouth is part of this new venture.

The studio’s main objective is to connect with online and physical shops that want to add its figures to their product ranges. The campaign also gives individual backers an opportunity to obtain the digital miniatures for personal use.

Zombies vs. Werewolves: Is Dead Howling Your Halloween Night Out?

A lone werewolf hunts the walking dead in this post-apocalyptic horror from the producers of Dog Soldiers and Terrifier 3. Catch Dead Howling on the big screen at Tubi FrightFest Halloween, then take it home on Digital, DVD and Blu-ray two days later.

Dead Howling DVD CoverOver the years, there have been many pairings and many confrontations. And honestly, I don’t think this combination has been explored before. To see a showdown in a film where zombies are fighting werewolves may well be the thing fans of the crossover have been waiting for, and Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment is going to deliver! Dead Howling will have its UK premiere at Tubi FrightFest Halloween 2026 on October 31. And instead of waiting, it will touchdown on digital, DVD and Blu-ray on November 2. That’s a nice two-day gap between big-screen scares and the couch.

FrightFest Halloween takes over the ODEON Luxe West End in London, and the film will screen twice on Halloween Day. If you miss the first showing, you get another shot. Brutal action, nightmarish monsters and a bleak, lawless wasteland are all on the menu. It’s an all-out clash where the dead and the damned collide.
