These horror movies are so good that they even inspired their own video games!
While watching your favorite horror movies, you may have missed one of the gaming industry's favorite pastimes: adapting great scary films into games. From The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween to Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, all of these franchises have been adapted into video games at one or another.
Many of the early ones are cash grabs while some of the more recent adaptations are excellent. Some of these games, like an endless runner based on the Child's Play franchise, are just plain weird.
Den of Geek is taking a look back at 25 games -- some direct adaptations while others are heavily inspired by horror movies -- that will make you scream just like you did in the movies!
