What a fantastic time to be a horror fan. We've got the most amazing films coming every which-way, countless new indie games to enjoy, and the revitalisation of some of the best horror series gaming has, one of which being Silent Hill with its upcoming game Silent Hill: Townfall.

Part of Silent Hill's revitalisation is a trend of mainline games which take the Silent Hill story and explore it in new locations. Last year we got Silent Hill f which took fans to 1960s rural Japan—exploring the purgatory between tradition and modernity—and this year we have Silent Hill: Townfall set in 1996 St. Amelia, Scotland. What will this game explore? Well, director Jon McKellan gives us some hints.
