My dear friends,
I hope you all had a great week and also having the best weekend so far. These past two weeks were really exciting for the Horror Showcase and the Horror Games Community in general. First of all, let me give you a warm hug and thank you for your interest in reading the first issue of Horror Showcase Recap. One of the hardest things a person can try these days would be to get people to read something instead of watching. We all have short attention spans and reading isn’t as popular as it used to be. So I was very glad to see the first issue getting nearly 500 views from all around the world. I hope you will like this one too. A special thanks to those 15 people who were extra interested in what I had to say and decided to subscribe to get notifications.
Before we go further in, if you’d like to check out my endeavors of celebrating horror in other social media channels, please refer to this linktree. If you also like what I’ve been doing and would like to support me, you can always do so by this ko-fi link here. All donations make life a little bit easier and stress-free for me, helping me focus more on this passion project.
This time I couldn’t embed tweets directly from the website because of issues I don’t even understand at this point. Probably got something to do with the ever-changing API rules on Twitter. So I downloaded and uploaded the videos myself, which means WordPress will probably ask for an upgraded package soon (sigh – points toward the ko-fi link again).
Make sure to give the original thread a look and share it around too!
Now with those out of the way, please sit back and enjoy the horror made by incredibly talented people from all around the world.
