I Got Next: How real are the ghosts in Fatal Frame?

Deep in the darkest corner of Fatal Frame's abandoned villages, a disturbing thought blooms in your mind: what if there really are ghosts? What if monsters are real? What if outside right now, far away from the glowing light of this very fictional video game in our comfortably warm homes, there are actually immortal, impossible forces waiting to devour us? That's the best part of Halloween: the fleeting moments when a genuine fear of the unknown and supernatural sneaks back into your mind. Even though Fatal Frame's debut on Wii U disappointed us mightily, series pinnacle Fatal Frame 2 still scares us just as much as the possibility of real ghosts. To face our fear, we're streaming the game alongside Karen Stollznow (Haunted America) and Blake Smith, hosts of the spectacular Monster Talk podcast. Join us live at 3:30PM ET/12:30PM PT.
