The Monster Mash

five more Games based on Less-than-wholesome Characters

splatterhouse

Student Rick Taylor is a mild-mannered and polite character until he dons the Terror Mask, upon which he becomes an killing machine, devoid of emotion and focused on one task: to save his girlfriend, Jennifer. Clearly based on Friday The 13th’s Jason Voorhees, although given a helping hand for his psychotic behaviour.

the suffering

Set in a rotting island penitentiary, The Suffering is the story of Torque, a death row prisoner convicted of murdering his family. Venturing deep into insanity, he slowly transforms into an emotionally-fragile, but physically impervious muscled beast that destroys all before it – friend or foe.

blood

Ex-gunslinger and leader of a demonic cult known as the Cabal, Caleb is hardly your regular hero type. Killed by his own god, Caleb rises from the grave to seek revenge, often accompanied by a witty quip. Think a deranged undead Duke Nukem with horrific facial injuries and you’re almost there.

rampage

Despite their comic appearance, these guys are most definitely monsters! Tearing apart buildings, crushing vehicles and chomping on humans is all in a day’s work for the quaintlynamed Lizzie, George and Ralph. Given they are actually transformed humans… make that cannibalistic monsters. Nice!

grand theft auto

Monsters come in all shapes, and horror movies have long been obsessed with the banality of evil. In 1997, the original GTA caused a ruckus with its crime-laden antics. Yeah, sure, you can just potter around – but who didn’t commit the monstrous act of jacking a car then running over its owner for good measure?
