Why survival horror this October
A new Resident Evil film has been in cinemas since September 2026, and Halloween falls on a Saturday this year. Short horror clips where you are the one holding the flashlight are an easy way to join in without a costume. This effect makes an original scene in that style; it is not official material and is not endorsed by anyone involved with the games or films.
