The Evil in Residence is Fawaz Al-Shehry
Somewhere between the sands of Kuwait and the shadows of Raccoon City, one man has conjured an entire online empire dedicated to the undead, the Umbrella Corporation, and a certain sunglasses-loving villain with impeccable cheekbones. That man is Fawaz Al-Shehry, and his empire is the Resident-in-Evil YouTube channel — a fan haven with over 50,000 subscribers that has become a fixture in Kuwait’s horror and gaming community.
The Man Behind the Channel
Fawaz Al-Shehry is not a household name in Hollywood (yet), but in the Middle East he has become something of a horror ambassador. Starting with little more than a webcam, an internet connection, and an obsession with Capcom’s legendary survival horror series, Fawaz steadily built a channel that now draws tens of thousands of eager fans. And here’s the kicker — he did it without flashy marketing campaigns, SEO armies, or celebrity backing. Just videos. Just passion. Just consistency. The result? A community that feels less like an audience and more like a legion of like-minded horror devotees.
From Horror Con to the Digital Stage
The story of how this channel grew to prominence in Kuwait feels almost folkloric. Fawaz has been a visible face at local conventions, including Kuwait’s Horror Con, where he first met actor and voice talent D.C. Douglas (infamous for bringing Albert Wesker to life in Resident Evil). That encounter blossomed into today’s live interview event, streamed to fans across Kuwait and beyond. For a creator who once started small, these moments are proof of how far sheer dedication can carry someone.
The Channel’s Focus
On Resident-in-Evil, fans find gameplay breakdowns, fan Q&A sessions, horror commentary, and — increasingly — interviews with talent who have shaped the Resident Evil universe. It’s a digital lounge where Kuwaiti fans can geek out over the latest Capcom remake, argue about which version of Wesker was the most menacing, or speculate endlessly on whether Capcom will ever resurrect the sunglasses-clad villain in canon form.
What makes the channel stand out is its voice: casual, accessible, and deeply rooted in fan culture. There’s no pretense, no overproduced glitz. Instead, it’s as though you’re sitting down with a friend who just happens to know everything about Resident Evil — and who also happens to wrangle a global audience from his base in Kuwait.
The Live Interview
Today’s interview with D.C. Douglas marks a milestone. Fawaz isn’t just spotlighting gameplay footage or speculating about lore — he’s now facilitating direct conversations with the very people who embody the series’ most iconic characters. For fans in Kuwait, this isn’t just entertainment; it’s cultural representation. Their corner of the globe is carving out its place in global gaming fandom.
Douglas, best known as the chilling voice of Albert Wesker in multiple Resident Evil titles (official Resident Evil info), was asked questions prepared by both Fawaz and his audience. Topics ranged from how Wesker’s icy vocal style was crafted, to which game performance Douglas himself considers most definitive, to whether he’d ever step back into the role if Capcom came knocking. These are the kinds of questions only a fan-centered channel would ask — probing, passionate, and delightfully nerdy.
Kuwait’s Horror Fandom Goes Global
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Fawaz’s channel is its cultural significance. In Kuwait, where large-scale gaming conventions are still developing, Resident-in-Evil has become a beacon for fans who want to feel connected to the wider global community. By growing a subscriber base past 50,000 without traditional promotion, Fawaz has shown that passion and persistence can bridge continents. His interviews are proof that Kuwaiti fandom is not just consuming global pop culture — it is contributing to it.
A Channel to Watch
If you haven’t yet tuned in to Resident-in-Evil, consider this your formal invitation. From horror retrospectives to live interviews like today’s, Fawaz AlShehry is crafting one of the most intriguing grassroots gaming channels on YouTube. And if his meteoric rise so far is any indication, this won’t be the last time a global spotlight swings Kuwait’s way.
For fans of Resident Evil, horror gaming, or just the magic of passionate fandoms taking flight, Fawaz’s work is a reminder that the zombies aren’t the only things that can rise from nowhere. Sometimes, creators do too.
