8 Times Horror Icons Appeared In Video Games
1. Leatherface - Mortal Kombat XL
One of the most endearing features of the latest MetherRealm games is that they not only offer fantastic narratives, extremely rewarding gameplay AND fantastically gory aesthetics, but they also cater to a rabidly nostalgic fanbase by adding in tonnes of pop culture characters from other franchises to have an almighty scrap with.
Hellboy makes an appearrance in Injustice 2, Robocop rocked up in Mortal Kombat 11 and in Mortal Kombat X and XL? well we got every horror fans dream as Predator, Alien, Jason AND Leatherface all crawled from the depths of fear itself to obliterate the other combatants.
However for me, Leatherface was truly a force to be reckoned with, as before this point The Texas Chainsaw Massacre had only seen one video game outing back on the Atari 2600 and it was...well..utter garbage is putting it lightly.
Therefore being able to cave in heads with hammers, furous swings and of course lashings of brutal chainsaw attacks is a sickening joy to behold. Plus thanks to his quite frankly ludicrous range and low dashes, you'll be able to constantly apply pressure to your opponent, making them likely panic and for Leatherface to truly acheive the perfect tone in this cameo appearance.
