When you look back at what passed for kid’s TV in the UK back in the day, it’s a wonder we aren’t all in therapy. Oh sure, the 80s and 90s might have looked all innocent with its Art Attack and Pingu, but dig a little deeper and you’ll find some frankly harrowing children’s television

Warning: contains spoilers for The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5 Episode 7 ‘No-Man’s Land’.

There are those who would have you believe the last 15 years of horror gaming have been a notable low point for the genre.
