A predominantly black screen plays host to a door-opening sequence. Have you ever thought about how many times you’ve seen the mysterious door enveloped in the shadows? A door of uncertainty, suspense, and oftentimes horror. Will you survive?

In Itchy, Tasty, Alex Aniel delves into the history of the first ten years of the Resident Evil series, providing the definitive behind-the-scenes account of Capcom’s intense and atmospheric horror franchise. Drawing from interviews with key creatives, including Hideki Kamiya and Shinji Mikami, and the author’s extensive expertise, this is  the inside story of how Resident Evil came to be the success story it is today.  

Itchy, Tasty
