Ahead of the TerrorBytes: The Evolution of Horror Gaming docuseries launching next month, CreatorVC has announced the final pre-sale campaign, as well as revealed the series’ launch
trailer. The five-part documentary series, which features over 50 horror luminaries, including acclaimed filmmaker John Carpenter and Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka, is available to pre-order now ahead of its release in April, with exclusive perks including early digital access to episodes 1 and 2, your name in the credits, access to the Darkness Unlimited streaming service, and a digital copy of their previous documentary, FPS: First Person Shooter.

“Horror games provide an incredible breadth of experience, emotion, and catharsis away from the conventional gaming power fantasy, and their remarkable culture of innovation dates back almost to the beginning of video games,” says writer and director Richard Moss. “It’s been a fascinating journey and heartwarming privilege to tell the story of the genre in this series.”

Each of the five episodes delves into a different theme, beginning with survival horror and then moving onto licensed games, FMV and interactive movie games, the indie horror scene, and ending on “cursed” and controversial games. The all-star cast includes such legendary game developers and personalities as:

• Roberta Williams (director of Phantasmagoria)
• John Romero (co-creator of DOOM)
• Denis Dyack (director of Eternal Darkness)
• Corey Taylor (Slipknot vocalist)
• Swery65 (director of Deadly Premonition)
• David Szymanski (creator of DUSK and Iron Lung)

• Jeremy Blaustein (translator for Silent Hill 2)
• Sam Barlow (director of Her Story and Immortality, writer for Silent Hill Shattered Memories)
• Mathieu Cote (co-director of Dead By Daylight)
• and many more!

“It has been a dream come true shooting all over the globe with the people that shaped horror gaming history,” says producer Daniel Richardson. “Seeing TerrorBytes take form and become the documentary we always dreamed it could be has been infinitely rewarding, and I’m sure fans will find a lot to love in this celebration of one the medium’s greatest genres.”
