"This is Halloween, everybody make a scene..."
-- This Is Halloween, The Nightmare Before ChristmasI know, Halloween is tomorrow. But I just wanted to say howdy to our visitors coming from UGO.COM, where you'll find an interview with us, and some exclusive screenshots. Howdy! Take a look around, have some Chex Mix, pull up a chair, but watch out for this guy...yes, just for tricks, Lars gave our giant mantis a Halloween costume. I'm warning you folks, you'd best cough up the treats if this shows up at your door:

Boo, BOO I say. I can't see anything... I'm sorry, did I just step on your child?

Shriek of the Week
I'd like to thank Michael Futreal of Runtime Sound and his scream team for sending us some fabulous screams.

Feature Creepy
In TCFH, you can now switch to black & white mode on the fly, making it feel like you're really playing a 1950s monster movie (it also features a jumping film scratch or two, and some wild stray hairs). One of a few new screenshots:

Monochrome Mantis
We've also got a new Technical F/X: all about hazard maps.
