Horror movies that would make great games

Or, more accurately, bits of horror movies that we'd like to play

Zombie Flesh Eaters

Quick Synopsis: A woman travels to the mysterious island of Matool to try and find her missing father - a scientist on an ill-fated research mission. As if the title wasn't a big enough giveaway, she discovers the island is infested with zombies. Most people get killed.

Why it would make a great game:

For three very simple reasons...

Zombie Vs Shark

Zombie eye gouging

Creepiest soundtrack ever

'Zombie Flesh Eaters opening theme' By Fabio Frizzi

Go listen to that on your own in a haunted house. In a wood. Built on an old Indian burial ground. Near a lunatic asylum.

Non-specific, Scary Clowns

Simply, there aren’t enough terror clowns in games. Which is why we need something like this...

Happy Halloween!

Interesting that Lucio Fulci's Zombi 2 is called Zombie Flesh Eaters also. Threw me off for a while.

ALright, just so you no, fort zombie is a game like the one you speak of. You can find a spot and hole up etc. Look it up and do your research next time.

The Shining as a video game would be pretty cool. And Shelley Duvall was totally running around with a knife in her hand. Like, where else would that come in handy other than in a video game? Hmm...Just thinking about talking to Tony though--just make sure Tony isn't like Navi. "Hey! Look! The guy that likes ice cream? Yeah, your dad just axed him in the gut. Hey! Watch out!" (press A to have Tony hide in your mouth).

I saw "the mist" the other day, it seemed like a pretty good idea to a make game of it, what with all the monsters it looked like they'de make for some good enemies.

Qoute "Equally, no game designer has attempted to capture the repugnant grubbiness of 1970s exploitation cinema. Which is a missed opportunity in our view." I take this to mean that you didn't play House of the Dead:Overkill on the Wii then?

In horror games you can never have too many zombies or clowns.
