Horror Movie based video games that don't suck

Like Famicom's Sweet Home, can't think of any other than that.

Evil Dead wasn't really good, was it?

Despite its flaws, I enjoyed the game of The Thing that came out a few years ago. I think I'm the only person who did, though.

Friday the 13th on the NES kinda sucks, but is kinda fun too.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors kicks ass and uses tons of horror movie monsters.

The original Castlevania was heavily inspired by classic monster movies. The credits joke about this, having Dracula "played" by Christopher Lee and Frankenstein's Monster by Boris Karloff, among others.

The old Alien Spectrum game was sort of interesting.

The Thing rocks.

I just played this game not long ago back in July, I beated and didn't though it was that good... The ending was lame too and no music during the credits.

I think the Friday the 13th game captures the atmosphere of the movies pretty well. There is a great sense of urgency and paranoia. I wouldn't say it's a great game, but it's definitely cool in its own way.

the alien games on snes and MD both rock.. (atleast i thought so back in the days, might have aged badly?).

Alien 3 was definitely a cool game. Captured the claustrophobia and paranoia of the movie really well. Plus the level design was superb and it was hard as balls.

Predator 2 for the Genesis is also a good game. At its core, it is basically an arena shooter but with some nice touches like you have to rescue hostages before the Predator's deadly laser site falls on them. Surprisingly cool and intense.
