Yesterday’s HorrorThon update was a haul of assorted candies, but this update moves with a sinister purpose.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

30 years ago, arcades around the world were haunted by the twin horrors of Sega’s Altered Beast and Namco’s Splatterhouse. Both games come from the single-plane branch of the beat ’em up family tree, making this even more fitting for a double feature. Not only that, but these brawlers allow you to become the monster instead of just fighting them.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Altered Beast<\/A>: Werewolf (new pose), Neff, Aggar (flying head and whole Aggar), Chicken Stinger
\nSplatterhouse<\/A>: Rick Taylor (new pose), Jennifer Willis, Evil Cross & Nightmare, Biggy Man, Nobu<\/p>\n

All of these things were added to the GFX Generator<\/a>, even though Aggar is too tall for everything.<\/p>\n

\n

In case you haven’t heard, Hardcore Gaming 101 just released a new digest called The Guide to Retro Horror<\/a>. The book includes material by Rob Strangman, creator of the legendary West Mansion Splatterhouse fan site<\/a> (seriously, which other writer would you get to talk about Splatterhouse?) and artwork by the always-fresh Rusty Shackles<\/a> (who ALWAYS gets characters of different tones and official art styles to work just right in his own drawing style).<\/p>\n

Once again, VGJunk<\/a> has been on a roll with a wide variety of horror and monster game reviews throughout October. You’ll find new games to try and others to probably avoid. VGJunk suffers the bad games for the people.<\/p>\n

Arcade Quartermaster<\/a> added new shrines, including Konami’s Haunted Castle, a game that’s considered scary for all the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n
