- What's more traumatizingly scary than high school? Literally nothing. The first indie horror from Hollywood horror factory Blumhouse is Fear the Spotlight: a spookalicious tribute to PS1-era survival horror icons such as Silent Hill and Resident Evil, set in the sinister halls of Sunnyside High. Let's get into it. Part of the Hallowstream 2024 season on Outside Xbox and Outside Xtra!

"If I could find a way to do anything, I could do something." The Andy Farrant survival horror motto.
I feel like this stream ended at the exact wrong time, I was so hyped to see what happens!
More please
it took me a embarrassing long time to realise that Crissy= Christine, Raoul being well Raoul, and the teacher= the Phantom. its the whole phantom of the opera including massive fire...
Is "Mr. Crane" a reference to anything Phantom-y? I can't think it anything and it's kinda disappointing.
@@catoninetales the only Crane I could fine was on IMDb: a Ward Crane who played Count Ruboff (*snigger*) in the 1925 movie of Phantom of the Opera. Unless that's a really deep dive I don't think the name Crane is from the story. If the teachers first name is Erik then that the Phantoms name so...
Stream kicks off at 1:10! Spookenings happen shortly after.
LADS!
Hero
Ta!
would honestly love to see the rest of this game if they were up for it. I really enjoyed this stream :)
Agreed!
I love that they knew NOTHING about Phantom, and thinking Raoul is the bad guy 😂😂😂
Absolutely cracked up at the unanimous “Woo!” at 16:48 . 😂
I do remember this game from Haunted PS1 Demo Disc 2022, so really glad to see Mike giving it the proper attribution! Would definitely recommend checking out all of their annual - and free, I believe - compilations, since they're pretty good at curating cool, indie games.
1:18:20 The droning noise that makes you uncomfortable is infrasound. Sometimes you can't even consciously hear it so you just have this rising tension in your body, especially with headphones/in a cinema
Thanks for playing!
Upon discovery that a combination was "001"
Jane: "That was my first guess."
Love it
"Then my second guess would have been 002..."
Hallowstream is a Treat every Year. I cant put my finger on why I enjoy these Streams even more than the usual ones. Maybe its the Feeling of seasonal tradition
Yeah, it's become an eagerly anticipated tradition for me, which means Oxboxtra won't be around next Halloween :-( Sorry, everyone... it was my fault.
An absolute gem of a stream. Another game I would never imagine picking up, but this was a treat to watch. Thanks all. 🙂
Such a cute thumbnail of Jane as a stylish but scared drama student. Thanks for the stream!
The phantom musical actually has a decent sized ensemble main cast. There's the phantom, that girl, her boyfriend, the older lady and her daugher, the two theatre managers, the diva and her husband. Then a bunch of background singers and dancers.
Can't imagine high school kids would pull off the singing though, unless they're doing a non-musical version of the story.
Piangi isn’t Carlotta’s husband; he’s just the lead male singer… who would probably very much *like* to be Carlotta’s husband.
I'm a custodian so watching this stream was a good laugh. When they were doing the Ouija board stuff in the beginning, if I were on the night team and caught them doing this, I'd absolutely mess with them. Start dropping stuff, go to the roof and make noise, turn the lights on and off. It'd be great! Funnily enough, my school DOES have secret underground tunnels! They're rather claustrophobic and boring since they're for a very old heating system. But we have to keep it very secret so the kids don't go in!
Also, the piece of tape with the note is absolutely the realest thing I've seen so far. Some custodian/maintenance person put that there bc they knew they'd forget. I have NO IDEA what's up with the giant pipe though lmao
8:10 our school had two giant memorial plaques for all the students who got drafted and died or otherwise died in world war 2 so I guess it doesn’t seem like too strange of a concept to me.
On a different note a fire in a school killing that many is indeed rather unusual considering how precise the fire safety stuff is and how many time fire evacuation is practiced. However 24 is roughly the size of one class or at least used to be so maybe a class got stuck somewhere? Still if a building burned down enough to kill that many i also think you would have to rebuild.
(Nvm it being in 1991 explains it a lot has happened in fire safety since then)
The Exorcist, in 1973, is probably close to the first film to introduce a Ouija board as more than a toy as it was the original connection between Regan and Captain Howdy/Pazuzu
The doors with push bar openers usually lock with a hex wrench, although there may be an additional safety feature like a bolt you need to unlock with a key.
Holy shit I suggested they play the X-Files FMV game last year! My prayer to the OxBox gods have been answered
Glad for you and your godly poo.
Wish they’d play the whole of these games though. Even to pick one or two and then do a full playthrough of them. I’ve played the XFiles one a lot but it was great seeing them play it and their style of comedy worked so well with how ridiculous it was.
this has been my favorite game of this years hallowstream so far. would love to see them play some more of it
That is hilarious that they programmed in if you decided to mess around with the Ouija board.
I'm starting to develop an Oxbox head canon that Andy and Jane are such good friends because when they met Andy discovered she was allergic to ghosts and decided to stick close to her for his protection.
That is indeed how you use a real voltmeter/ohmmeter. Though why you would need to then dial in that number to the fuse box is purely a game puzzle.
the piano puzzle were the letters D.E.A.D... and i just think that's clever and neat.
I got invested on this!!!
"D. E. A. D. spells dead..." and Redrum is only a fancy drink
My high school had tunnels below it, but they were used for heating pipes and such...but the access points were locked up. One of the clubs I was in in school, though, had a lock-in at the school and we got to go down into the tunnels (nothing creepy, sadly).
At 25:49 you can see someone's black shoes underneath the door of the last cubicle. If you play that frame in slow-mo, his left foot slowly lifts up as Andy pans the camera.
The high school I went to actually did have underground tunnels. One was collapsed but a couple more were still accessible but weren't really interesting. The school was built by an eccentric millionaire in the late 1800's and he wanted a way to get to the construction site of the school as well as the factory that he owned from his mansion in inclement weather. One of my friends lived in what was once the gatehouse of the guy's mansion and there was an entrance to the tunnels in an old cellar in her back yard.
1:20:46 Hell yeah, I loved Raul in New Vegas!
I think I read that Danny Trejo doesn’t even remember recording his lines, which is incredible because he probably gave the best VA performance of all the companions imo
1:39:12 That's D-E-A-D, Mike ;)
Yes, you can smell cold.
Thank you for this stream. I hope to see y'all play the rest of this game after Hallowstream! So fun!
My school (a Performing Arts/Science academy) did Phantom of the Opera as one of its annual musicals. It was beset by horrific technical difficulties and unchecked ambition.
59:10 Andy does a loop-de-loop. Stream highlight, and it's a high bar because this stream is magnificent.
The reason ouija is associated with spirits in modern minds is because of the exorcist
Also, 11th Hour is… violent. Like, really Violent and some horrible things happens to the characters in it.
Wow really? I watched the first 20-30 minutes of a playthrough and my first takeaway was "nothing really happens in this game." I'm still glad they aren't doing it because it honestly looks like most of what they'd get through in stream would be boring, but as a general game maybe it deserves another look.
From what you're saying, it sounds like it could be kind of a Phantasmagoria situation. Like, based on how they move through games at a slower pace with Andy offering a walkthrough and having to pause to check chat, they could probably do Phantasmagoria without ever getting to THAT ONE SCENE. But at the same time, you can't fault them for just not wanting to risk it.
@@kieranhair37 Oh yes, first part is fine! It’s what happens later on and specifically towards the other characters that is quite shocking for the time, specifically a scene involving a gate of all things (if memory serves me correctly.)
Yeah when they said they swapped the game I wondered why and googled the plot and it very quickly became apparent why
So what Jane's saying is go back and watch last years Vampire stream. Okay, gotcha (after this stream ofc).
That’s so wild to me to see a sign that says “no heavy petting” at a swimming pool. And I grew up in the nineties too. Must just be different across the pond. 😂
There was a sign like this in my local pool in Ireland (again with a busty lady cartoon) and child me thought that busty ladies were more likely to bring their large pets to the swimming pool
43:11, Pokeball, cross, ladybug, neuron connection.
Edit: I was close, but wrong.
Making my prediction now: Pokeball, clapping hands, polygraph, forward slash
Edit: Oh boo, the symbols are just random and have no relation to their associated numbers?
I cannot believe they didnt pick up on the fact that the game is retelling the story of Phantom of the Opera while they repeatedly reference Phantom of the Opera
TBF none of them seem that familiar with the plot except the phantom, his lair and the chandelier! As a mega fan I liked the entering the dressing room through the mirror best
My school had a pool. Ironically, it was in Everett Washington...
It's early, but I'm picking Mike for my post-apocalyptic horror point-n-click dystopia.
The Ouija Board thing also happened with Tarot cards, where it started out as a parlor and storytelling game but at some point instead became seriously associated with the occult, to the point where you barely ever see reference to their original concept.
56:19 As a master of electrical engineering, I can confirm for Mike that that electrical box is a pile of meaningless shenanigans. Also, 80 ohms is nominal, if somewhat small, value of resistance for an element of an electrical circuit.
I just released my first horror game and I immediately recognized the intro screen music as one of the cheap-ish purchasable horror music assets on Unity.
I can attest those doors do not unlock that way the lock if it has one and many don’t are above the door bar. At least in the US. Not that it really matters but it was very immersion breaking beacuse I said the same thing out loud.
Thanks for the Awesome stream! Stay safe & sane! 🙂
I looked up "The 11th Hour" and saw it was a sequel to --"The Eleventh Guest"-- "7th Guest". Since that playthrough saw Luke's soul pretty much leave his body by the end due to all the chess puzzles, maybe it's for the best you changed.
All I remember of the X-Files was that the PSOne version came on so many discs. As someone who was a huge fan of the show I was going to buy it, but the bad reviews and lack of Mulder and Scully put me off.
7th guest*. Both were terrifying when i played them way too young 😅
I liked the multiple discs because I was a Final Fantasy nerd back then and so that was what I associated multiple discs with. But you really do feel the lack of Mulder when you play the actual game.
If I had to compare it to something, I'd compare it to those three Blair Witch games they released back in the day. Like, it definitely feels like it could be part of the universe. But there's also just some ineffable thing that makes it feel kind of "off" the whole time, and that never quite goes away.
Hallowstream Ratings! (Fear the Spotlight)
Content warnings: jumpscares, ghosts, and an unfortunately creepy teacher
Horror rating: 4/5. The horror was so effective! I've never been so terrified by so few polygons.
Entertainment rating: 5/5. I do love the old and janky games that we often get during Hallowstream, but it feels like a real treat for the gang to play something that looks genuinely well put together and enjoyable!
Favourite moment: "No, you can't be in here, it's a no-bullying zone!"
Yep. Ouija boards were meant as a game. Same as Tarot cards. Horror movies in the 60s and 70s along with drugs at parties and pranks at sleepovers turned it into superstition. I don't care what anyone says when they go, "No. I did one and cups were flying around." You're a liar.
1:09:00 I wish Jane was my dad. XD
Mum would never have divorced Jane.
I remember playing with a ouija board at overnight camp in elementary school in the mid 90s and we tried to contact Elvis. just girly things I guess
Eighty Ohms - didn't she used to be married to Tom Cruise???
21:22
_This is my hole! It was made for me!_
*drrr... drrr...*
(it's from The Enigma of Amigara Fault)
Certainly some spooks in this one, but I can't get behind the PS1-style graphics. They do know there's a reason we improved those, right??
I always love when people find out ouija boards were created as a toy. Then follows the realisation that people who take them seriously might as well be getting freaked out by Monopoly. Don't get me wrong, I won't allow a copy of Monopoly in my house, but that's just because it's shit.
They actually weren't created as a toy. They Ouija itself was invented in the 1890s after there was a big craze involving spiritualism due to people wanting to talking to their relatives who died in the American Civil War. This however does not change the fact that they are in fact bunk and a load of bs.
Bruh, Monopoly is great if you have four hours to kill watching your best friend become a dystopian asshole. I don't allow it in my house just because I found out there are literally hundreds of better board games that take less time to finish.
@@MrSpikethefirst If Mattel had gotten into making spirit bottles, I'm sure there'd be false rumors that they created those as well.
What's funny and why I use that as my example is that spirit bottles somehow have the opposite reputation. Even in their era, most people knew they were kind of a spiritualist fad. But ask any Lovecraft fan, and they'll tell you some nonsense about spirit bottles that was never accepted in the day and age they were actually a thing. Because Lovecraft co-wrote a completely unrelated story that very blatantly isn't in his writing style where someone captures actual spirits in bottles, so now his fans are determined to believe that's what spirit bottles were. At least Ouija boards have something of an actual history. The history of spirit bottles is just made up by people who call themselves fans yet lack anything resembling literacy.
Jane, if you're into monsters with things as heads, check out Sirenhead! :P
Does Jason Blum refer to the people he sees at his family reunion as the Blum kin?
There’s an 80s movie called “Witchboard” that is one of the first films I remember that got into Ouija Board horror concept. I think “The Exorcist” also had an Ouija Board cameo. 1980 film “The Changling” has genuinely one of the scariest automatic writing scenes. Cool stuff.
It has 2 sequels and a remake, there's a ton of horrors with Ouija boards in them, there's even a series called Ouija.
The Exorcist in 1973 uses a Ouija board as the initial connection between Regan and Captain Howdy/Pazuzu
@@FrankSkornia ahhh yes, Captain Howdy
Yeeeeah, 11th Hour's story is icky.
So not only did my high school have a oujia board, but during our safe grad (basically they locked us in the school with events through out after prom until 6am though all the events ended at 2am) they actively set it up in the girls 4th floor bathroom where the supposed ghost haunted after a bunch of priests may or may not have killed him for his farm land so they could build a church and priest quarters that later became our school.
Totally agree about the Boys comic only adaptation where all the changes are better than the source material.
Not only do they have superpowers they're all stronger than any Supe besides Homelander so every issue just ends with them easily killing whatever supe was featured like Butcher vs Gunpowder in the show and then Homelander coming and menacing them but not actually doing anything about it.
Ending saved it though. If there's anything they keep unchanged hopefully it's that.
Jane saw Keanu Reeves? Did he like all Keanu inventions?
Blumhouse aren't responsible for any of my favourite horrors, they're the McDonald's of horror.
Phan-Blum of the O-fear-a?
