Don’t get me wrong; I enjoy the F13 movies (nostalgia!) and I could rewatch the shit out of them endlessly (except for the New Line movies and the remake). I just never noticed how, for example, F13 Part 1 is quite poorly directed when compared to Part 1 NOES and Halloween. There’s like a 3 minute shot of Alice making…

I’m absolutely loving all this spooky Halloween content. More pls.

Can Zuckerberg just fuck off now?

Awesome article, but nothing will top the blood curdling HORROR that was Phantasmagoria (that is, the horror of the bad acting and poor sound design, resulting in echoes when characters are outside).

lol, that takes me back. I never played Alone in the Dark but I had use MS-DOS to boot up the 7th Guest, which scared the shit out of me. Bring back Netscape Navigator!

New Nightmare is just so fucking fabulous and ahead of its time. I remember it getting roasted by critics when it came out for being boring (!)

I think if we’re basing it on the original movies in each franchise, Halloween probably edges out NOES. But going by the sequels, I’d say NOES is more interesting, creative and artful. Some of the Halloween sequels (namely, 2, 4 and 2018) definitely have more atmosphere, but I think the level of creativity that goes…

Slight O/T but GOD DAMN the original Myers mask they used in H20 (in the lead photo) looked terrible. With the budget and talent at their disposal, how did they fuck it up so badly? Not that the weird CGI looking montrosity they ended up using was any better, but wow.

lol

The Bush-era torture woman, most likely.

Are they normal Kotaku readers or have sexist troglodytes flooded in from Reddit or something?

Never thought I’d see anyone openly defending the old boys’ network as a legit reason for not hiring women, but there ya go.

I don’t have a mission other than to point out that men need to make a consistent and active effort to recruit women and simply saying ‘there’s none in our social/professional circle’ is bullshit. The continued exclusion of women from professional spheres isn’t (solely) dependent upon men actively conniving to keep…

It’s almost as if you’re saying great efforts have to be made to recruit women because it won’t just happen by itself, which is kind of the point underlying this article?

It really isn’t acceptable in 2021. People need to make an effort to hire women. It really is that simple.

lol, I think hiring only men is kind of the textbook definition of sexist work practices.

I bought my copy and am so excited to play co-op with my sister this weekend! The Dark Pictures games are so fun in co-op mode.

Never got to play it the first time around. I only became a gamer during and because of the pandemic, so I’m looking forward to this remaster.

I initially thought you meant Harvester; one of the finest games ever made.
