Dead by Daylight fans know what they want for an event and Behaviour tries new ways to deliver that. We want the chance to get a lot of bloodpoints. We want new game mechanics and exclusive items and skins to the event. And we want that event happening at Halloween.
The Devil’s Candy is a possession/haunted house film with a metal soundtrack and edge. A family moves into their dream house, even though they are told their dream house just had two people die in it a few days before. The father starts to exhibit the same signs and troubles of the surviving member of the previous family who lived there. First he hears whispers. Then, the only way to stop the whispers is to create. Good thing this father is a professional painter and not someone whose only release is one chord on a guitar. The film follows the parallel narratives of the two men possessed by whatever force lives in the house.
A psychologist is brought into a secret government facility to perform an evaluation. The subject is a nine year old girl tied to a chair with a straight jacket and kept in a locked room. Her appearance belies a genius intellect and a sadistic streak that led her to kill her own mother with no remorse. The psychologist has one day to prove that the young girl is not an emotionless sociopath before the government facility is forced to take more extreme measures.
Behaviour Interactive, the developers behind asymmetrical 4v1 survival horror game Dead by Daylight, are consistently making good on a series of promises they made half a year ago. Once they made an agreement to buy back full rights to their own game, they promised to roll out regular updates to improve and change the game throughout the year. Essentially, we’re supposed to get four new chapters—DLC updates featuring a new killer, a new survivor, and a new map—and four mid-chapter patches over the next year. So far, we’ve seen the introduction of the Clown, Kate Denson, the Spirit, Adam Francis, a cosmetics shop, and a total revamp of in-game currency.
Tales of Halloween is an anthology horror film with 10 segments all set in the same town on Halloween night. To say the concept is ambitious is an understatement. The framing device is a radio broadcast (performed by Adrienne Barbeau, a wonderful piece of casting) describing all the dangers of Halloween in this town. The segments, each with its own director and writer, are all their own unique horror shorts in various styles and tones. The connecting threads are Halloween, the town, and a few characters popping up in multiple stories.
