10 Ridiculous Video Games Based On Horror Movies

10. Bloodwings: Pumpkinhead's Revenge

Pumpkinhead, bless him, was never the most popular of horror movie monsters to begin with. Whilst the original film is a solid 80s effort with some fantastic practical effects, it's only in the years since that it's been upgraded to a cult movie and fans have recognised its worth - but that didn't stop developers from cranking out a game based on the far inferior sequel.

Bloodwings is a weird little Doom clone peppered with video clips taken from the movie, designed as a first-person shooter that you bumble through whilst trying to avoid flying bat skulls and big pixellated eyeballs. Make no mistake about it, this is not a good game, but it is one thats existence is so strange it almost begs you to play it.

While the idea of Pumpkinhead's vengeance demon being getting a jazzy video game title is a good one in theory, this game's confined corridors of what look like deadly rotisserie chickens and pixellated movie clips prove that it's a title best left alone.
