9 Scrapped Bosses Used In Other Video Games
2. Resident Evil 4's Killer Dolls - Resident Evil Village
Back in 2003, Capcom released video of a gameplay demo for their highly anticipated upcoming sequel Resident Evil 4 - a version of the game which ultimately never came to pass.
This brief demo included a memorably terrifying sequence where Leon is attacked by a sublimely creepy fleet of small dolls totting large knives, and though this concept was assumed lost, it finally ended up re-appearing in last year's Resident Evil Village.
Village's unforgettable House Beneviento level sees players fending off a clan of killer, clawed dolls sicced on them by Donna Beneviento.
Worst of all is the horrifyingly grotesque ringleader Angie, with whom Ethan is forced to play an especially gnarly game of hide-and-seek, until Ethan finally gets the better of Angie and her malevolent puppeteer, Donna.
Considering House Beneviento is largely accepted to be one of Village's high points, bringing the dolls back was definitely a smart call, rather than an uninspired attempt to recycle some cast-off ideas from almost 20 years prior.
