In this episode of The Swearwolves horror podcast, Bret, David, and Alan discuss horror-related arcade games and pinball machines in their respective collections, reveal their totally-not-at-all-creepy (we promise) “horror crushes,” and wrap things up by dissecting the 2017 film Terrifier and its 2011 short film counterpart. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="640" height="480" src="https://i0.wp.com/theswearwolves.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Games-David-e1537741476424.jpg?fit=640%2C480&ssl=1" class="attachment-full size-full" alt="" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/theswearwolves.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Games-David-e1537741476424.jpg?w=640&ssl=1 640w, https://i0.wp.com/theswearwolves.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Games-David-e1537741476424.jpg?resize=300%2C225&ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" data-attachment-id="59" data-permalink="https://theswearwolves.com/2018/09/24/the-swearwolves-episode-3-arcade-horror-people-we-adore-and-a-whole-lot-of-gore/games-david/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/theswearwolves.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Games-David-e1537741476424.jpg?fit=640%2C480&ssl=1" data-orig-size="640,480" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"1.8","credit":"","camera":"iPhone X","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1537714484","copyright":"","focal_length":"4","iso":"80","shutter_speed":"0.066666666666667","title":"","orientation":"3"}" data-image-title="Games &#8211;
