A History of Horribly Haunted Objects in Horror Films

By Craig Stewart /

The EVIL Video Game

In the film Brainscan, Edward Furlong learns that it€™s all fun and games until someone commits brutal murder. He€™s your average traumatized teenage recluse who unwittingly plays a video game haunted by an evil-ish presents that turns his fantasy animated killing into real life bloody killing. In terms of exploring video games as new territory ripe for haunting, the fear simply isn€™t installed correctly. It€™s another case of terrorizing new technologies before they€™ve had time to settle. In addition to this, the Freddy-like jokester villain doesn€™t leave you much to be fearful of. He has a great design and charisma to boot, but not the menace of Freddy.
