A fighting game with all our favorite horror characters

In order for a game that has our favorite horror characters to exist, the gameplay needs to be fun and have depth. I don't think under any circumstances that an adventure game would work because the game would lack depth. Eventually, dispatching Elm Street children and campers in the woods would get old. So the only option left would be to put all the horror guys together in a fighting game and add some cool finishing moves similar to those of the Mortal Kombat franchise from Midway.

Put in a deep fighting engine with tons of combos and have the graphics up to the standards of both the PS3 and 360, and you got yourself a game. I truly don't understand why this hasn't been done before. Imagine, a fighing game with all the popular horror characters such as Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers and even Leatherface duking it out in a fighting system similar to that of DOA or something.

Thoughts?

As long as this "guy" is in it...

I had the same idea when I was a kid, rumor was there actually was going to be a game like that but it never happened.

Personally, it would be cool to see the Leprechaun fight Chucky.

i thinkit would have to be really gory to get ppls attention, i would also like to see Vincent Price in the game as well lolJopaGeri

The reason it hasn't happened is simply because no single film studio owns all the rights to all the horror characters you just listed. When you get into talks with numerous film studios, things are bound to fall apart.smerlus

yea, but it would take a while what the equal share is. See, the movie studios have varying amounts of good horror characters.

Good luck sorting out the legal mess that would come from liscensing all those characters. Not to mention, they'd have a hell of a time balancing out the game because Pinhead would own them all.Canvas_Of_Flesh

i wouldnt mind playing an AO game. i think its time AO games are made its time we move "forward not backward upward not downward and always twirling twirling twirling twords freedome".

Like SciFiCat said, play Darkstalkers. Its the closest you'll get.

I don't think that Movie licensed characters such as, Chucky, Freddy, Michael Myers etc... would be totally out of the question. Just look at what Capcom has done recently by bringing over Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.

DarkStalkers had all my favourite horror movie characters I wanted, werewolf, vampire, mummy,frankenstein monster, demons, merman, catwoman, succubus, etc. I wish capcom made a new 3D version of DarkStalkers (minus the artstyle of SF IV)SciFiCat

I wish that Frachise would get more attention.
