8 Times Horror Icons Appeared In Video Games

8. Freddy Krueger - Family Guy The Quest For Stuff

When you think of Freddy Krueger, chances are you think of what amounts to a near two hour heart attack each time he's on screen, as in each of the many, MANY films this burned bad boy has been in, he finds new and horriffying ways at making you never want to sleep again.

However what's made the character so persitent in mainstream culture is because Freddy is a rare example of a self aware horror villain. He mugs and muses to himself and truly enjoys his work of torturing young teens, making him a character with a pile of memorable qoutes as big as his victim pile.

Which probably means it's both quite surprising and at the same time, not at all, to find him make a cameo in Family Guy: The Quest For Stuff. Now I won't lie to you, this "game" is a pretty shallow experience, but at least Freddy is consistent with his real-life horror goals, as here you have to make Peter wet himself and prank all the other members of the town to unlock Freddy as a citizen.

It's odd seeing him just chilling on the streets but at least it answers what he gets up to in the daytime.
