The Pockett Hovercraft can ride over any terrain and also comes with three hovercrafts in the pack: Mad Billy, Ranger, and Typhoon. Throughout the season, there will be at least one live Event per week that will let you try the Pockett Plane and Pockett Hovercraft for free.

Midsummer Scream’s Hall of Shadows Returns for 2025

Geek News, Halloween, News

The massive Hall of Shadows dark zone returns to Midsummer Scream, the world’s largest Halloween and horror convention, featuring a stunning array of haunted attractions, photo ops, and live entertainment August 15 to August 17 at the Long Beach Convention Center. Passes for this year’s show are on sale now at MidsummerScream.com.

This year’s Hall of Shadows features the largest entryway experience to date — taking on the dark, sinister theme of “Le Carnaval du Diable,” which translates to “The Devil’s Carnival.” The master of scare-monies is none other than Mr. Floats, the infamous medieval clown that’s on the hunt for souls to add to his growing collection!

Lionsgate returns with the thrilling next chapter of last year’s unprecedented debut as the first attraction ever created for the Hall of Shadows by a movie studio. Soon, guests will have the chance to venture into Lionsgate’s Gears of Fear 2: Stranger Danger!

All passes for Midsummer Scream include admission to every attraction in the Hall of Shadows. Guests holding Gold Bat VIP credentials will enjoy priority access to most attractions in the Hall of Shadows, bypassing General Admission standby queues. Hall of Shadows will be open to guests all three days of Midsummer Scream — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, August 15 to August 17.

“Le Carnaval du Diable features our most ambitious Hall of Shadows lineup ever,” says Rick West, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Midsummer Scream. “Mr. Floats and his minion welcome Midsummer Scream guests into the darkness through a fog-shrouded haunted forest and forbidding carnival, before releasing them into the rest of the hall, which is packed with walk-through mazes and amazing displays, created by some of the most talented haunters from Southern California and beyond. It’s a Halloween fan’s nightmare come true, and we can’t wait to share it with everyone!”

Within the night-like expanse of the Hall of Shadows, guests can explore more than a dozen spooky attractions, elaborate displays, frightening photo ops, and live entertainment that include: An abandoned 1920s funhouse filled with vintage spooks, courtesy of Straite to Hale; a Nosferatu-themed professional photo shoot provided by Rawl of the Dead; a ghastly display of oversized props and a ’91 Cadillac Brougham hearse from the beloved home haunt Clowns v Skeletons; a kingdom in peril, literally, complete with castle walls, panicked townsfolk, and a fire-breathing dragon, from the amazing CalHauntS group; a whimsical display promoting Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group’s Magic of the Jack O’Lanterns event, featuring the world’s largest grinning pumpkin; a Celtic graveyard busy with ghostly activity from the legendary Haunt With No Name… Yet; a once-thriving farmstead now rotting under a deadly curse that echoes through its creaking halls, where the only sign of life happens to be in the pumpkin patch, where guests 21 and older will find a pop-up bar — a ghoulish combo attraction conjured up by the unstoppable team at Fear Farm; terrifying encounters with lurking monsters and a 360° photo experience from everyone’s favorite Haunted Carwash; a preview of Realm of Shadow’s new attraction for Halloween, where the Lord of Shadow invites guests to visit his ancient crypt and throne room; a frightful romp through Sid’s twisted toy box, filled with broken and forgotten playthings, from the crew of the Pizza Planet Truck and Art’s Sideshow Collectibles; a tribute to all things horror from The Haunted Harvest; a preview of things to come as guests experience the Seven Deadly Sins as presented by Eulogy Collective (formerly Santa Ana Haunt); a stroll through the Whitechapel district of old London, where there’s a certain slasher on the loose, thanks to Lights Out, returning to the Fairplex in Pomona this fall; and to round out the offerings, a creepy, good old fashioned haunted manor, from H&L’s Realm of Horror.

To the delight of fans of all ages, the Decayed Brigade slides back into the Hall of Shadows with a brand-new, high-energy sliding and stunt exhibition, delivering powerhouse chills and thrills Friday night, followed by three shows daily both Saturday and Sunday.

All of this and more will be waiting — lurking just out of sight in the murky gloom of the Hall of Shadows — when the doors to Midsummer Scream creak open the evening of Friday, August 15, in Long Beach.

Plan your weekend in advance, “like” panels and presentations and attractions that you’re interested in, connect with fellow fans, and browse hundreds of vendors with the redesigned Midsummer Scream app, now available as a free download in the Apple and Android stores!

Five Nights at Freddy’s Springtrap Now A Playable Killer in Dead by Daylight

2025/06/17
Jerry Paxton
Geek News, News, PlayStation 5 News, Windows PC News, Xbox Series X News

With over nine years and an iconic roster of 39 Killers and 46 Survivors under its bloodstained belt, Dead by Daylight has officially released its most requested Chapter ever with Five Nights at Freddy’s. Not only does it speak volumes about the popularity of the world’s deadliest party venue and its animatronic hosts, but also Dead by Daylight’s continued commitment to delivering for fans nearly a decade in. So, grab a slice and celebrate. The wait is over. Dead by Daylight: Five Night’s at Freddy’s is available now, introducing a new Killer, Springtrap, to The Entity’s Realm.

Springtrap Special

Since its announcement last year, fans of both franchises have been eagerly anticipating the crossover. Excitement reached pizza-oven-levels of heat with the release of the PTB a few weeks back as players finally got their first real taste of Springtrap’s jump-scare filled gameplay.

Reactions continue to be overwhelmingly positive, with fans highlighting innovative mechanics that drive fun matches while also taking inspiration from the source material. No small feat, considering the fundamental differences between the titles.

“It goes without saying that Five Nights at Freddy’s and Dead by Daylight feature diametrically opposed gameplay,” shares Jay Guzzo, Springtrap’s Killer Designer. “In the former, you’re mainly sitting in one room and managing a single resource – your battery. Whereas in DbD, it’s much more action oriented, and sitting still will likely get you nowhere fast. Our challenge became finding a way to get those two things to coalesce. It came down to identifying what creates that incredible tension in Five Nights and Freddy’s and adapting it into a dynamic format for our own game.”

High Tension

For any wondering if Springtrap’s first outing as a playable character would deliver, PTB players have praised both the character’s look and animations, as well as the security cameras and doors that represent a key part of the Killer’s gameplay.

At the beginning of a Trial, 7 Security Doors, each with cameras above them spawn across the Map. Survivors can access these cameras to scope out different corners of the environment while both Killers and Survivors can use the doors to teleport across the Map. Not only is this mechanic a love letter to Five Nights at Freddy’s, but a feature that ups the fun factor for players in both roles.

“When Springtrap is the Killer in a Trial, Survivors will find they have more available to them than they normally do,” adds Guzzo. “The doors and cameras give Survivors an unprecedented level of awareness and maneuverability in a match. We balanced it out by making Springtrap a little more powerful than your average Killer so he can really deliver those jump-scares. Hitting the right balance there has been a fun challenge.”

The Chapter also introduces a new Map, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, filled with easter eggs and dripping with nostalgia for fans of the iconic birthday party venue. The team took inspiration from the original game to bring the space to life, making sure to adapt the layout for looping and lots of tension-filled chases.

“We took references from the first game and attempted to reconstruct what a pizzeria would realistically be built like,” explains Associate Art Director Chase Toole. “That’s why we have things like air ducts, mechanical rooms, and of course, the kitchen you see in-game. They reference FNAF, but they also work toward the immersion and believability of the space itself.”

Hot Pursuit

Adding to The Animatronic’s unique Power and skills are a helping of Perks designed to let him crank the tension to dizzying heights. The Animatronic’s 3 character-specific Perks are:

Help Wanted: Damage a Generator to make it Compromised. When the Compromised Generator is repaired, your Basic Attacks have a shorter cooldown for a duration.

Phantom Fear: When a Survivor in your Terror Radius looks at you, they scream and briefly reveal their Aura. This Perk has a short cooldown.

Haywire: Exit Gates will steadily regress. While regressing, Survivors will see the lights randomly flicker.

Accompanying the release is The Five Nights at Freddy’s Collection which includes multiple alternate looks for Springtrap, each drawn from the franchise’s storied history. The centerpiece of the Collection is the Legendary Yellow Rabbit Outfit, inspired by the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, featuring the likeness and voice talents of actor Matthew Lillard who portrayed him on screen.

Dead by Daylight: Five Nights at Freddy’s is available now on all supported platforms.
