There’s something hilarious about choosing fear for fun. And yet so many of us do it on a regular basis. This week I’m joined by Phil Dickens and Will Penkeyman, the founders of The Horror Game Awards, an awards show created to celebrate horror games and give the genre the spotlight it deserves.

We’ll talk about why horror works so well in games, what separates “tense” from “terrifying”, and why the genre keeps evolving without losing its bite. We’ll also get into what it’s like building The Horror Game Awards, what they’ve learned from running it, and the trends they’re seeing across horror games right now.

If you love horror, hate it but can’t look away, or you’re just curious what makes scary games tick, come hang out and share your fav’ horror game moments in the chat.
