And during the Fall of ‘08, I rode high on terrorizing many a PS2 across the greater suburban wash of Torrance, California with the various ghastly residents of the Himuro Mansion.Īlright, alright, it was made in 2002, OK While at the time this was related to the perceived “danger” of engaging with something polite society would frown upon, a connotation the genre has thankfully lost in an era of Eggers, Asters, and the like, even now the high-points of horror fandom involve this sense of discovery and community, the joy of showing someone something that’ll impact them far more enjoyable than stumbling across a horror text on your own right.

Fatal frame 6 2018 series#
While PARANORMAL ACTIVITY was the first thing to ever legitimately keep me awake all night, a feverish paranoia marathon of when I’d inevitably be yanked off my bed by a malicious presence, I can honestly say that Tecmo’s flagship survival horror series was my first formative horror experience overall considering every cinema-going experience I was allowed to participate in was heavily regulated by an attentive parental presence (I guess being allowed to buy FATAL FRAME was one of the few instances where people not taking video games seriously was a net positive). I don’t think it’s too much of a secret that I’ve long been bitten by the horror bug, a genre that has contributed to my most formative experiences in both the film and video game mediums.
