10 Horror Franchises That Should Be Turned Into Video Games

10. Invasion Of The Body Snatchers

Based on the novel by Jack Finney, Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a 1956 science-fiction horror film directed by Don Siegal, and starring Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter. Though it’s been interpreted symbolically by numerous critics, the film itself is about a quiet invasion, a patient, methodical indoctrination of the human race, one individual at a time.

In the film, protagonist Dr. Miles Bennell uncovers the existence of the invasion, but not before the alien menace has already infected a significant amount of the population, leaving him vastly outnumbered by the extra-terrestrial imposters.

The Game: Imagine a game that tasks player with remaining inconspicuous, a game in which players must keep their actions unremarkable, and act discreetly at all times. It would essentially be a stealth game, but instead of hiding away in the shadows, you’d be moving around freely in crowded environments, interacting with characters, accomplishing objectives without inviting any unwanted attention. You’d be hidden, but in broad daylight.

When exposed, an imposter would elicit that infamous, blood-curling scream, its head wrenched back and its mouth gaping wide. The seemingly innocuous environments would transform into venomous snake pits, in which you were suddenly forced to fend for yourself, fleeing hordes of screaming enemies, and trying desperately to make it to safety.
