* It’s that time of year and every news outlet wants to put out a version of the “Top Scary Games” lists and we discuss some of the most common entries on them. What did we play and were they actually scary?
* Hallways with teeth, cannibals, long horse, siren head and all sorts of other odd things. Welcome to the very strange world of Roblox cults, which we had to watch far too much about because our Discord asked about it. If we had only known.

* Since our dive down Roblox cults featured way too much imagery from modern urban myths, creepypastas and spoopy memes, we lament the lack of scariness in modern horror tropes. From ancient myths and cryptids, what would we consider scarier. Also, why are woods so scary and what wants to eat us when we go to the log cabin.

* A lot of games that are not horror games will still utilize scary elements to enhance tension. We discuss some examples as well as define the difference between horror games and games with horror elements.

* Although not frequent participants in horror games, there are some places we could see scary elements placed in games we are familiar with. Alex gives one example that would help even the odds against your stray wendigo.
