We dive into the history of horror games with Dan Richardson, the producer of 'TerrorBytes,' a new documentary that charts the rise of horror in video games from the flickering screens of the '70s to the immersive experiences of the mid-2000s. Tune in for a journey through the golden age of chills and remember the games that turned our playtime into fright time.
