Well, shoot. Halloween came and went and I spent most of it working on school work! So please allow me to make one final Halloween-themed post as I discuss one final bit of spooky video game music, the music from The 7th Guest. I was crazy about The 7th Guest back when it came out. The atmosphere, the story, the brain-busting puzzles had my friends and I hooked like mad back in the day. While…

You get there not by jumping into a painting like every other level, but by diving into a tiny house in a bird cage that’s inside a Boo! Once in…
Read more →Silent Hill is scary for a lot of reasons. It has crazy monsters, great dark atmosphere, and a pretty haunting soundtrack. Most of the music during the game tends to be sort of industrial in nature, but the opening self-titled song is a classic.
