Itching to get a glimpse of the combat gameplay for Firaxis’ Marvel’s Midnight Suns before it arrives next month? You’ve got it in a new combat overview trailer for the game, which is coming from the folks behind the rebooted XCOM series. While you might think that because of their previous titles, Firaxis has just taken the Marvel license and reskinned an XCOM game. Not so, as apart from being turned-based, the combat in Midnight Suns is different. At the start of a new mission, you’ll pick your squad from...

We’re always up for some psychological horror in our gaming, though a lot of games seemingly threaten to run together with no real outstanding aspect to differentiate them from one another. That doesn’t appear to be the case with Poopsy’s The Lies We Tell Ourselves, which takes a more unconventional route of looking at something that hits all too close to home for many. The story revolves around Vincent Arno, a 20-something man who still conveniently lives with his parents. No expenses, no responsibilities, and what’s probably most disturbing, no...

Don Mancini has maintained his streak of character and narrative surprises in “Chucky” Season Two, especially when it comes to Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly). While protagonists Jake Wheeler (Zackary Arthur), Devon (Bjorgvin Arnarson), and Lexy (Alyvia Alyn Lind) contended with their ongoing fight to remove Chucky from their lives, Tiffany’s impressive journey this season proved just as complex. The murderess dealt with the ramifications of her one-sided relationship with Nica (Fiona Dourif), unexpected party guests, motherhood, death, and the loss of her comfortable lifestyle when Jennifer Tilly gets framed for Tiffany’s...

Greetings from the other side and welcome back to DEAD Time. This month, I explored the history of Mothman and talked with the world’s top Mothman researcher and owner of the Mothman Museum in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, Jeff Wamsley. On November 15, 1966, two young couples from Point Pleasant, Roger and Linda Scarberry and Steve and Mary Mallette, had a terrifying encounter with a winged creature with glowing red eyes, which they described as “a large, flying man with ten-foot wings.” They were hesitant to report the incident to...

In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be covering Neil Marshall’s ill-fated comic-book adaptation, Hellboy. From Sin City to Umbrella Academy, Dark Horse Comics has always lived up to its name by betting on oddball titles and unusual creators. While there’s no shortage of iconic characters that were first introduced in the pages of DHC, I’d argue that one of their most recognizable contributions to popular culture would have to be Mike Mignola’s Hellboy. A paranormal investigator that also happens to be a grumpy demon, the horned face of...

In his last great performance in Peter Bogdanovich’s debut film Targets (1968), Boris Karloff plays the aged and exasperated horror legend Byron Orlok. In a single line he sums up his entire career, at least as viewed by the public: “Marx Brothers make you laugh, Garbo makes you weep, Orlok makes you scream.” As with Gloria Swanson’s unforgettable portrayal of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard (1950), it is tempting to project too much of the real Karloff onto his onscreen counterpart. The broad strokes are similar enough, but the true...

It’s over. Over a decade after its initial premiere in October 2010, AMCs “The Walking Dead” has reached its ultimate conclusion. “Rest In Peace” marked not only the last episode of the mega-sized 11th season, but the final episode of the entire flagship series. While there are a plethora of spin-offs featuring fan-favorite characters on the horizon, “Rest In Peace” closed a chapter on the core ensemble’s long fight for survival.  With dozens of recurring characters, actors juggling other filming commitments, losing its lead character, showrunner shifts, and the occasional...
