Today, October 23rd, is a special day. First, it’s National Horror Movie Day, a day to celebrate all things horror for those who enjoy the genre. Second, it’s also the birthday of Sam Raimi, the filmmaker best known for the Evil Dead trilogy. Created by Christian Ackerman and Black Vortex Cinema, Christian wanted to honor Raimi while also honoring the genre, which includes Evil Dead. Of course, not all horror films have to be gory and involve dismemberment; it can have jump scares or psychological images that can make one feel queasy.
For this week’s episode, we’re playing tracks from video games inspired or based on horror films: a campground with a killer on the loose, a demon stalking a group of survivors, and a daughter searching for her mother in a dilapidated space station. We’ve also got covers and remixes to follow.
Prepare to get scared by these horrific tracks…
