TerrorBytes enters final Pre-Sale
The long-awaited horror gaming docuseries TerrorBytes: The Evolution of Horror Gaming is one step closer to release—and it’s bringing a bloodcurdling lineup of legends with it. After receiving glowing feedback from early backers (including a 9.1/10 average rating on a rough-cut episode), the five-part series has launched its final pre-sale campaign ahead of an April release.
Spanning over 5.5 hours, TerrorBytes explores the genre’s most iconic moments and innovations across five themed episodes—from the roots of survival horror to the rise of FMV and licensed games to the eerie allure of “cursed” and controversial titles. The series, which features more than 50 horror and gaming legends, pulls back the curtain on decades of fear-fueled creativity.
Among them are filmmaker John Carpenter, Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka, DOOM co-creator John Romero, Clock Tower director Hifumi Kono, Until Dawn director Will Byles, Deadly Premonition creator Swery65, and even Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor. And that’s just the tip of the (terrifying) iceberg.
Director Richard Moss describes the project as “a heartwarming privilege” and a tribute to a genre that challenges conventions and embraces innovation. “Horror games provide an incredible breadth of experience, emotion, and catharsis away from the conventional gaming power fantasy,” he says. “It’s been a fascinating journey.”
