Awesome Horror

While the teaser for Dead Space: Extraction was mostly atmospheric, this developer’s diary does an excellent job fleshing out the game, both in terms of gameplay and storyline.

I Sell The Dead flips the whole undead genre on its head with two grave robbers making a profit off zombies and vampires; it stars Ron Perlman and LOTR’s Dominic Monaghan.

This SDCC ’09 What’s New trailer for Left 4 Dead 2 shows off the game’s new infected (the spitter is gonna be a pain for campers), weapons (grenade launcher FTW) and locations.

Dante’s Inferno finally reveals its gameplay; the trailer starts off slowly, but quickly picks up the pace with demon-rending visuals that should make God of War fans giddy.

NSFW: Like Austin Powers meets Ghost in the Shell meets every B-horror flick ever created, Robo-Geisha is so over-the-top in terms of ways to die it’s almost ensured a cult following.

Killing two birds (or lambs) with one stone, this gingerbread Dr. Hannibal Lecter can always satisfy his gruesome habits: if he runs out of victims, Cannibal only need eat himself.

Its name may be simple, but this Dinosaur t-shirt by Shred explodes with gory detail; not for the faint hearted, a pack of velociraptors reduces several helpless humans into shredded pork.

Blue Flame Alley’s Skeleton Bike is disgusting, but we’ll give them a hand (or skull) for their attention to detail: check out the maggots and heart hanging from the partially digested torso.

Available only in May, this Jimiyo t-shirt is overflowing with awesome: Darth Vader, Terminator, Freddie Krueger and the Predator serve as the ultimate horsemen of the apocalypse.

Rob Zombie continues his reboot of the Halloween franchise with H2: Halloween 2; hardcore fans of the original may blanch at this trailer, but we’ll be keeping our kitchen knives sharpened.

A giant robot, the grim reaper, an executioner and stinging bees to boot: Funkrush’s We’re Only Here for the Fear t-shirt is a nice roundup of our favorite horror movie archetypes.

It may sound like the plot from some ridiculous zombie movie, but Joe Schreiber’s Deathtroopers is the real deal: it’s the first Star Wars horror novel, due out before Halloween ’09.

Make no illusions: Splatterhouse is a gory, gory remake with grotesque monsters, nightmarish levels, and a hockey-masked protagonist who has a propensity for losing limbs.

Our mad scientist days are long over, but this Shelf Life tee has us longing for dank, dark nights spent amidst jars filled with formaldehyde and all sorts of “unusual” specimens.

A hot chick in peril, blood splatters and a cool tee: yup, it’s Halloween. Akumu Ink’s gritty clothing has a special resonance today, and this Of Horror t-shirt is definitely our top pick.

Spoiler alert: this ten minute Dead Space video is packed with all the myriad ways you can die in the game; if you don’t feel like hurling your previous meal, take a pass.

From the same team who brought us Max Payne, Alan Wake is about an insomniac horror writer who travels to a sleepy small town. Fortunately for him, things go horribly wrong.

Available in a few days, Stephen King’s Dark Tower: Long Road Home gets a hardcover edition that spans issues #1-#5; this creepy comic series is great for alternate reality fans.
