Halloween Special 2 – Roberta Williams’ Phantasmagoria Deep Dive

Almost thirty years ago Sierra released Phantasmagoria which what would go on to be their most controversial game of all time. At the time Robert Williams was best known for her family friendly King’s Quest games so it was quite a shock to see her make an adult horror game which included a controversial rape scene and plenty of gore. This was Sierra’s most ambitious and most expensive production which caused many challenges for the cast and crew to film and produce and as a result was delayed several times before eventually being released on August 24th 1995. In this special Halloween episode Seoirse, drawing on information online, from the official Sierra Guidebook for Phantasmagoria and his own conversations with actor David Lee Homb and Roberta Williams herself, gives some background details on the origins, filming, production and release and reception of the game. He also gives some interesting facts about the filming of the game and he gives his own non spoiler and spoiler filled review of the game.And if you want more about this game then check out our Patreon for exclusive episode where Seoirse runs down the most gruesome murders in the game!So join us as we take a deep dive into one of the most talked about horror games of all time!Phantasmagoria music composed by Mark SeibertSong “Take a Stand” by Mark SeibertOfficial Phantasmagoria soundtrack at The Sierra ChestPhantasmagoria GOG SteamAdventure Games Podcast Official SiteIntro (00:00:25)Origins (00:04:58)Background & Filming (00:07:50)Release & Reception (00:19:02)Interesting Facts (00:25:48)Non-Spoiler Review (00:31:49)Spoiler Recap & Recap (00:55:41)If you would like to stay up to date make sure you subscribe to the podcast.
