Horror Videogames

Good afternoon my Ravens. Last night I talked about my favorite movies. Now I'm going to talk about my favorite Horror Videogames. I've always felt that Silent Hill and Resident Evil are the juggernauts of this category, each spawning a ton of sequels and prequels. I did a video in which I compared the two, but I will save that for another day. The First Silent Hill will always be my all time favorite horror game, because it truly scared me, plus three times I have bought a new system just to play a Silent Hill game. Joke was on me this time since Silent Hills was cancelled..... Anyway Silent Hill 2 is usually the favorite of fans of the series, but my heart still belongs to the original. Silent Hill Homecoming is probably my second favorite game. I played it to death and got 100% on the accomplishments. Some did not like this addition to the series, feeling like it just wasn't Silent Hill, but I loved the atmosphere and the story. Next up on my list is Resident evil 2. This was the first I played in the series. Once again another entry is more popular. Resident Evil 4 is a good portion of people's favorite. However, I'm partial to Leon Kennedy's first day on the job. I loved the story, the action and it's cool that you have to beat the game from his and Claire's point of view to get the true ending. Next up we have Alan Wake. Ok, this is the story of a Horror Writer living through a book he doesn't remember writing. How could I not like this???? Last of all, we have the original Dead Space.  From the opening video you have the creeps and as someone who jumps easily, I could barely go five minutes without a jump scare. This was a very well done game to me. So, what are some of your favorite? There are a ton more I like, but these are just the top of my list.

Why are so many people turned off by Horror?

Whether it be a book signing or a writers conference people definitely have a different look on their face when they get to my table. Their eyes get wide when they see my book covers and 9 times out of 10 they do the fake little shiver then say "Oh, I don't like Horror. I have nightmares" In turn I want to vomit. The question for me is why is scary stuff such a big deal to people? It's like trying to sell to The Cowardly Lion and a thousand of his clones. Okay, you have nightmares. Is that really a big deal? You're telling me you have a nightmare and you're afraid of the dark for 6 months? Heck, sometimes I enjoy a good nightmare, it gives me story material. One scene in my book "Snowy Pines" came from a nightmare. It's like people think they have to read something that's all Unicorns and rainbows to enjoy it. I mean, Life doesn't work that way. This world can be a very bad place and to pretend otherwise is foolish to me. Yes, my books ar...

A sample from Accents of Horror- Story 1 " A Stranger in the rain."

Danny Miller drove aimlessly down the dark road squinting through each swipe of the wiper blades. About 15 miles back, the rain began in sprinkles and the transformed into a full-out monsoon. This was a recipe for disaster considering he had not slept in close to forty-eight hours. Luckily he had seen little traffic on this highway thus far. And at least he had quit drinking. Eight months ago, Danny was an average American. He worked nine to five in a factory driving a forklift. It was a nonstop routine, but he was a creature of habit anyway. Plus he made decent money. He had been married three years to a young waitress he met at a diner he had lunch at every day. One day he had walked in and she said "Let me guess. a BLT and a side of fries?" "Am I that predictable?" He had replied. "Yes, you're here every day sweetie. Either you really love the food or you're sweet on me." "Can't it be both?" He asked After that, they ...

The missing video: Diary of an Aspie 5

This is the missing video in my Diary of an aspie series. It was right after a VERY rough time in my life struggling with depression. I think part of the reason I haven't shared it much is because I didn't want to be reminded of it, but I hope it helps someone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GvqFKOXvjY
