Haunted House - an early example of survival horror - might be one of the better examples of box art released by Atari, which is saying a great deal indeed. In fact, it's so good, it asks an important question: why isn't it more iconic? Atari, as well as veteran illustrator Steve Hendricks, produced so many amazing designs throughout the eighties, yet so few are remembered today.

In particular, Haunted House is just so captivating, the sort of poster you'd want hanging on your wall, regardless as to whether or not you've actually played the game, or even heard about it. It's just that good.
