Awesome Horror

Winston

Winston

(PG-13) CalArts animation alum Aram Sarkisian’s animated short film will pierce you to the core with its dark tale of a man tormented by his demons. The haunting imagery is accompanied by sharp as a tack writing, and amazing voice work by Matt Kelly. (Thanks Rob!)

Scorn (Gameplay)

Scorn (Gameplay)

(Gore) A first-person horror adventure featuring dark and creepy imagery that clearly draws inspiration from the work of the late, great artist H.R. Giger. Its gross organic environments and weapons are almost scarier than the enemies at this point in development.
