Let's be honest, games rarely do justice to the original film, and this is especially true in horror films. This phenomenon was seen early on in the video game scene and below we take a look back at some of the earliest horror film adaptations on microchips - and lost licenses!

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Atari 2600)

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Atari 2600

Here Tobe Hooper's dirty classic «The Texas Chainsaw Massacre» on the Atari 2600. Here you trudge back and forth across a field as Leatherface, looking for your victims to score points. However, the Atari 2600's audiovisual limitations have meant the game features a rather chubby Peanuts character who stabs his victims with a throbbing blue penis...

Halloween (Atari 2600)

Halloween for the Atari 2600

John Carpenter's cult film was released on the Atari 1983 in 2600 by a small company called Wizard Video. The game was closely based on the source material: As Laurie Strode you have to try to get as many children out of the house as possible before Michael Myers can mutilate the youngsters. The game gained some notoriety during this time, as Myers was shown how he gleefully behead Strode and wander around her headless body while the blood spurted in red pixels from the stump ...

Friday the 13th

Forgotten by time: Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street as horror video games

LJN was notorious for relatively bad feature film adaptations like «Alien 3» or «X-Men». "Friday the 13th" was certainly no exception. As one of six camp leaders, you have to try to save the children from Jason Voorhees while fighting off other enemies like wolves and zombies. Finally you were confronted with the man in the ice hockey mask, neatly wrapped in a purple and blue one-piece suit and absolutely huge...

A Nightmare on Elm Street (Nintendo Entertainment System)

Forgotten by time: Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street as horror video games

LJN also implemented "A Nightmare on Elm Street", in which you fought against sleep with a kind of "wake-up meter" and lots of coffee before you were "teleported" to the dream world, where you were equipped with superpowers to " Dream Warrior" was made to fight the bosses...

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
