Yeah! Monster Party is an All Time NES great, I Lived that game as a kid. All the classic horror references and other creepy settings were So Awesome. 😄👍
Very well done Burst! This compilation format really worked for me and the video flew by. I can't wait for the next one! That Drac's Night Out transition had me laughing 🤣🤣
I'm not even sure where to begin! This video was amazing! Wonderfully edited, great writing and humour throughout, and a thorough look at this slice of video gaming. I learned so much! You touched on so many games I haven't even heard of before, so thank you for doing some solid legwork to bring us this compendium. There are a lot of things I'm curious to look into more, particularly some of the Japanese titles that didn't get localized and brought over.
Thanks so much! I thought I might have bit off more than I chew for a while, but pretty happy with how it turned out. I’m excited to play some of these more thoroughly too!
Fun fact about Getsu Fuma Den, it did actually make its way stateside early last year on Switch. Konami included it as a bonus for purchasing the digital deluxe version of the sequel, Getsu Fuma Den Undying Moon. In a really cool move it even recreates the lenticular box art effect on the new title screen, shimmering between images whenever you turn your Switch. The bad news? Outside of the modern start menu and emulator menu, both of which include English options, it's not translated at all. Thanks Konami 🙃
I thought for sure this was a 100k+ views video. What a quality recap of the NES horror library! You're speaking clearly and your writing style is both informative and witty, I had a lot of fun and no trouble following despite the rapid pace :)
One of your best videos yet! I'm sure this will serve as an ongoing resources for many Octobers to come as gamers look for something new to play during the spooky season. Some obscure titles already caught my interest.
Chiller makes sense if you're from New Jersey. The Jersey shore boardwalk arcades had light gun shooting galleries with animatronic set pieces. They upped the classic carnival dunk tank to paintball guns and a costumed fool who would yell insults. Similarly, masks of politicians or foreign heads of state would be used to similarly taunt the players. They often included horror themes or sections, including Roswell aliens and toxic waste. So Chiller makes perfect sense in that context.
Castlevania 3 'staking' its claim.... nice. Holy hell, man.. I knew you were working on this, but 56 minutes minutes of content is seriously impressive. This was a lot of fun, nice work!
Well done! I really liked the presentation! Clean text information at the bottom and the surrounding artwork stood out to me. Wording transitions all on point! And I learned some new games, too! Err, sorry.... UM ACTUALLY YOU FORGOT (blank)! Seriously, very well done!
Fun fact: Dr. Chaos was originally and based on the movie based on "House". Before that, Pony Canyon was developing a game on MSX under the name "Goblin" (which is the name of the movie in Japan) and during the development of the FDS game they lost the license and ended up changing the name (which refers to House by the way) and the story.
All or nearly all games / things have a creepypasta story or messed up theory story / thing about them now so technically all things can count as horror now , and it seems the more wholesome the creepier the pasta 😂 ( MLP & Animal Crossing for example )
I think you're the first person I've ever heard with anything remotely nice to say about Rare's Beetlejuice game. I remember renting it back then as a kid and being so utterly disappointed, I just couldn't figure it out and decided then and there with my silly kid logic that it was a bad game. I can't say now that I hate it or that it's terrible, it's just obtuse and indirect and I'm more indifferent. I think it was just Rare being Rare with their foundations in the kind of British 8-bit computer games that generally didn't follow popular trends. It probably would have gone over better as a ZX Spectrum title.
Nice vid, never heard of a couple of these. I'd add Kick Master as another honorable mention in the dark fantasy section. Its got lots of spooky undead monsters and some nice gothic atmosphere. Maybe Wizards & Warriors would fit in there as well. The first one especially always struck me as having a dark fairytale kinda vibe that would fit in with stuff like Astyanax.
This was what we had. And it was effective trust me. The music in particular on the NES really drew you in the whole MIDI sound of the 70s and 80s 90s horror. Dr. CHAOS on your thumbnail there was a killer choice too. Just look at that shit. I want that as shirt.
Great video, Burst! I am playing through Metroid right now, though I've never really thought of it as a horror game, but it makes sense. Sweet Home has been on my list for years and I had no idea about that Biohazard game... definitely looking into that now. I'm a big horror fan so this was a really fun watch. Thanks!
Great video. I didn't know several of them and it was a pleasant surprise. I loved being able to see the covers, although I might as well have put them complete and not as a frame (but I liked it anyway). Thank you!
I remember trying ghoul school and the hit detection was pretty bad but i oddly found myself playing it much longer than I expected. This video just has a comfy feel to it, I love putting it on in the background when cooking, thank you very much for making it.
I love how you've managed to include the box art for each game on the sides. That's dope. Add's such an attractive touch. 😍 And oh my god, I have to try *Zombie Nation*.
This lines up perfectly with what spoopy games I want to play for October! Love the inclusion of Famicom titles as well! Thank you for this awesome video.
omfg dude, I didn't expected this video to be THIS professional and interesting. I really hope you'll gain some traction on this platform. Wish you best of luck!!
Came to say this- the TH-cam algorithm comes through in spades! Instant follow. Would love to see a similar video for snes/super famicom, or really any retro system- tis the season!
This content is so amazing -- really looking forward to seeing how your channel evolves. This was exactly what I wanted to spark some ideas for Halloween gaming sessions.
Awesome video! As far as my favorite, it's definitely Friday the 13th. That game is so badly misunderstood, and they didn't help it by explaining nothing about how the game works. I've found that once people learn how the game operates, more often than not they end up enjoying it!
I bought the game when it was new back in the early 90's and I spent hours playing until I finally beat it. I still always got lost in the woods. Nightmare on Elm Street is also a good game and one of the few NES games to use the four player accessory.
@@blodguizer Both very fun speedruns too! The woods can be tricky, even when you know the routes to get where you want to be, you’ll still get turned around sometimes. It’s a horrible feeling to hear that buzzer going off and you’re completely lost because you went down one path too early 😆
@@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson That’s awesome, congrats! That category is so much fun. Nobody wants to learn how to do cabin or path fights without taking hits, so there’s very few of us who can complete a rock only run
Great video. I think I can explain the design of the resident evil demake. At least the combat system is clearly based on resident evil gaiden for the Gameboy color. Maybe there are earlier video games but I would bet the Chinese developers were inspired by gaiden.
Great video! Some really cool deep cuts, including a few I had never heard of like Matou no Houkai that I'll definitely be checking out. A title I think would have been perfect for this video is Zombie Hunter from 1987 by Hi-Score. Really interesting sidescroller-meets-action RPG title.
Man, I remember renting Dr. Chaos from our local video store (shout out to Video Memories in Boise, Idaho!), but I think I was too young to really understand how to play it. Must have rented it three or four times, and never got more than, say, fifteen minutes into it.
What a bloody fantastic video this was, I actually had low hopes but you went far and wide, like a true proper relentless explorer. Just a bit of complimentary hyperbole for you! But I won't deny it, this is a great video, I've got a lot of games including Japan-only ones thanks to it. Thanks for the video, mate!
Great video brother. Very well done. Horror is my favorite genre in any medium, and i loved seeing all the different games presented here. Introduced me to a ton of new unknowns. Loved it. Great work. 👍
I found this video when Hungry Goriya tweeted it out . I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I am pleasantly surprised. This is a great video from start to finish. I had not heard of the number of these games and I find myself wanting to go check them out. Keep up the great work!
That is a pretty exhaustive collection of horror titles. I did notice one that should get a shoutout, and that's "The Guardian Legend." There's plenty of cosmic horror to like here since Metroid, Kabuki Quantum Fighter, Lifeforce, and the Aliens series is being included in your list.
This was well put together. Good balance of funny and informative. I like the layout and really appreciate the info at the bottom even if id like it to be just a size bigger. Gotta check out your other stuff now
I loved this so much! That's a very impressive scope of games, and everything felt appropriately showcased without ever dragging. There are some good gems here as well as a bunch of games I've never seen. Oh, and the ending was best ending.
Maniac Mansion! I remember when I finally got a chance to play it when it was included as an easter egg in its sequel "Day of the Tentacle" on PC. I didn't know there was an NES version.
Watched all of it! Loved every minute. Don't know if I missed it or not close enough to the genre, but you covered some unreleased and similar playing titles. Bio Force Ape? Anyway. Thank you Burst for the incredible dive into this pool of awesome titles - some of which I just discovered. Love your work ❤
Amazing video! Great to see several favorites as well as new ones ive never heard of. I was so happy you ended with Chiller, we rented it one time and my mom lost her mind when she saw us playing it. That game was banned from our house after that 😂
Another fantastic video :D I never knew Altered Beast had a Famicom release and it's really interesting to see the methods the decided to go with compared to the master system port. Also Hell Fighter's protagonist just looks eerily similar to the Prince of Persia protagonist.
I can't thank you enough for putting this together, I had never heard of a bunch of the japan only games. Yōkai Yashiki in particular has some really striking visuals. Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos in this series.
How do you only have 1.73K subs?! The humor, flow, and overall research put into this video show your respect and commitment to this type of content. Sucks it took me this long to find your chanel, good news is I got a lot of content to binge now!
thanks for the kind words! recently got serious about posting videos and am fortunate to be able to work on it full time at the moment. hope to keep the momentum going :)
Seeing Monster Party, after only ever playing it around 6-9 years old, after renting it so many times from the laser disc/VHS store (not the usual one, the other one that was fancy enough to rent video games)... it's like realizing a dream you almost forgot, was never a dream at all!
just when i thought i've named ALL of the NES horror games, and somehow knew that there were more to be found, looks like you beat me to it. but hey!? makes it much easier to search for them and collect them.
Such an interesting set of games here, from extremely high quality to ones that aren't so good but that sums up the NES very well. There's a lot of games in this I've never seen before too! Very cool. Thanks for the video dude, this was very well done and so informative.
Doctor Chaos! It could have been a hit if only the first level wasnt hidden behind a completely blind guess of entering a random window before actually giving the level detector. Seriously, its like 3 rooms into the mansion and at that point youve learned that "go" only works on doors. 😢
Nice! I always love playing horror themed nes games for Halloween, it's like a little tradition for me, thanks for sharing this list, I'll try some of the games I missed last year :)
I was born in 82 so I was alive when people originally played NES. Being around 7 years old, I only owned about 12 NES cartridges. Fester's Quest was one of them. I spent so many hours on that game with my Nintendo Power magazine opened and still never got very far.
The reason you're fighting tempura in Monster Party: The two teleporters in the background of the fight are a clear reference to the movie "The Fly". Except instead of the Fly, now you're fighting the...Fry.
Terminator is -absolutely- a Slasher Movie. It was probably always meant to be one, but the sci-fi aspects got bigger and better over time. Terminator has all the standards. Mass murdering, unstoppable killing machine, check. Origin story that goes into the supranatural (time traveling robot), check. Hero who gets considered a kook and disrespected, despite being the only one with any knowledge of the Killer's origin and threat level, check. Sarah Connor (Final Girl) actually killing the Terminator instead of just letting the more experienced Hero handle it because it turns out he couldn't handle it, check. Every single Slasher Movie checkmark gets hit by the Terminator movie. Alien is also a Slasher Movie.
I think that's as thorough a look at spoopy NES games as one could ever make. Can't think of any that got left out. I am a bit surprised that there wasn't mention of the Godzilla creepypasta and subsequent game that was made out of it.
A most excellent vid! Would definitely love to see a deeper look at Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti! Since it's more than just a 'cute Splatterhouse-ish platformer'.
3:05 - Funny thing about that. See while this never got localized for the NES back in the day, Wanpaku Graffiti actually DID arrive in the West via the overlooked and woefully underrated Splatterhouse Reboot from 2011. In there it can be played as an unlockable title along with the main three games. Though I can’t tell you exactly HOW they’re supposed to be unlocked since I was unfortunate enough to have not played it for myself.
Great for making this compilation horror games. I like that you have every game, not just another top10. I would also like to see every Chrismas themed video games. I see tooo many top 10's out there. I'm looking for all video games in a set. I can decide for myself which ones I want to play.
Wow, what a great Video, I have to watch your other videos! :) Loved Gremlins 2 on the NES, played it for hours (when i wasn´t watching the movie for hours :D )
I always thought Dr. Chaos had a creepy vibe when I was a kid. I wasn’t creeped out by much when I was young but there was that weird feeling like I was playing a game no one else knew about like it was found in an old antique shop run by a creepy old lady or something. I had no idea how to play it and anything that did happen was by accident but that made it much more interesting. Also the music in Friday the 13th is really effective.
Check out Part 2 for a few more that were missed the first time around! th-cam.com/video/fMHjb8MAql8/w-d-xo.html
The box art matching each game is a nice touch
Classy
It's like seeing fast food on advert and then seeing it in real life
Yeah!
Monster Party is an All Time NES great, I Lived that game as a kid. All the classic horror references and other creepy settings were So Awesome.
😄👍
Getsu Fuma Den is like arcade Genpei Toumaden, even the character model looks like Taira, cool that you put them side by side
The music in Shadowgate when you’re on your last torch is what a panic attack sounds like.
Very well done Burst! This compilation format really worked for me and the video flew by. I can't wait for the next one! That Drac's Night Out transition had me laughing 🤣🤣

23:35 Little known fact about Werewolf. It was supposed to be a Wolverine game, but they lost the license close to completion.
that definitely explains why legally distinct Juggernaut and Magneto showed up XD
@@BurstError not to mention a lot of claw climbing.
I thought for sure this was a 100k+ views video. What a quality recap of the NES horror library! You're speaking clearly and your writing style is both informative and witty, I had a lot of fun and no trouble following despite the rapid pace :)
thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it :D
As someone currently working on a huge sleeve tattoo of horror-themed old NES manual art, I can’t thank you enough for this! Really excellent video!
nice, have fun with putting that together!
Make sure Sweet Home is on there
One of your best videos yet! I'm sure this will serve as an ongoing resources for many Octobers to come as gamers look for something new to play during the spooky season. Some obscure titles already caught my interest.
I’d love to see this type of video for the SNES and super famicom
hope to make one eventually! :)

Err, sorry.... UM ACTUALLY YOU FORGOT (blank)! Seriously, very well done!
thanks Doc! Adding that stuff probably doubled the editing time but I wanted some cool way to show off the great box art too

Great vid! Only thing I can think of off the top of my head that you missed, was the Alien 2 FDS prototype.
thanks! and Alien 2 looks cool, never saw that one before!!
Considering the Creepypasta history of NES Godzilla, I feel it belongs on this list
All or nearly all games / things have a creepypasta story or messed up theory story / thing about them now so technically all things can count as horror now , and it seems the more wholesome the creepier the pasta 😂 ( MLP & Animal Crossing for example )
Haven't thought about that Beetlejuice game for 30 years. Thanks for the unexpected jolt of nostalgia!
I saw the 16:48 reveal coming and still laughed. Great video

Came to say this- the TH-cam algorithm comes through in spades! Instant follow. Would love to see a similar video for snes/super famicom, or really any retro system- tis the season!
That cabin music in the Friday the 13th game always creeped me out, and so did the game over notes.

totally agree! a lot of disregarded NES games can be so much more fun with a little more effort put into learning how the game works.

Oh you know you just found that good shit when the creator pulls out the slick transition/titlecards.
Thank ya for your work, I look forward to more!
Man, I remember renting Dr. Chaos from our local video store (shout out to Video Memories in Boise, Idaho!), but I think I was too young to really understand how to play it. Must have rented it three or four times, and never got more than, say, fifteen minutes into it.
What a bloody fantastic video this was, I actually had low hopes but you went far and wide, like a true proper relentless explorer. Just a bit of complimentary hyperbole for you!
But I won't deny it, this is a great video, I've got a lot of games including Japan-only ones thanks to it. Thanks for the video, mate!
So much love and effort was put into this. Horror games have a special place in my heart. Thank you and have a great Halloween 🎉
Great video brother. Very well done. Horror is my favorite genre in any medium, and i loved seeing all the different games presented here. Introduced me to a ton of new unknowns. Loved it. Great work. 👍

That is a pretty exhaustive collection of horror titles. I did notice one that should get a shoutout, and that's "The Guardian Legend." There's plenty of cosmic horror to like here since Metroid, Kabuki Quantum Fighter, Lifeforce, and the Aliens series is being included in your list.
I always loved the nasferatu 1994 game.... I know you're only doing 8-bit games, but watching these videos always makes me think of it
First video of yours to pop up in my recommended feed and it absolutely did not dissapoint. Great work dude, keep it up!
This was well put together. Good balance of funny and informative. I like the layout and really appreciate the info at the bottom even if id like it to be just a size bigger. Gotta check out your other stuff now

Bio Force Ape?
Anyway. Thank you Burst for the incredible dive into this pool of awesome titles - some of which I just discovered. Love your work ❤
How could I forget my beloved BIO FORCE APE? Love that game. He could have definitely snuck in there with Altered Beast.
Excellent work, highly enjoy this! Played many of these growing.
Amazing video! Great to see several favorites as well as new ones ive never heard of. I was so happy you ended with Chiller, we rented it one time and my mom lost her mind when she saw us playing it. That game was banned from our house after that 😂
Another fantastic video :D
I never knew Altered Beast had a Famicom release and it's really interesting to see the methods the decided to go with compared to the master system port.
Also Hell Fighter's protagonist just looks eerily similar to the Prince of Persia protagonist.
Yeah for Altered Beast it was cool how they added more stuff and made it much smoother, too bad they had to shrink them down to a hilarious size!
Great format and a VO. I used to love Friday the thirteenth when i was a kid.
I can't thank you enough for putting this together, I had never heard of a bunch of the japan only games. Yōkai Yashiki in particular has some really striking visuals. Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos in this series.
my pleasure :) thanks for the kind words!
What a great video! I loved some of the deeper dives, and it was all put together so very well.

Nice Job, good voice over quality and selection -> 👍
Such an interesting set of games here, from extremely high quality to ones that aren't so good but that sums up the NES very well.
There's a lot of games in this I've never seen before too! Very cool.
Thanks for the video dude, this was very well done and so informative.
Thanks Mixer! Looking forward to your damageless Swamp Thing run someday.
Doctor Chaos!
It could have been a hit if only the first level wasnt hidden behind a completely blind guess of entering a random window before actually giving the level detector.
Seriously, its like 3 rooms into the mansion and at that point youve learned that "go" only works on doors. 😢
lol yeah it starts out a bit rough. gets a lot more fun once you find that first item
Monster in my pocket was an awesome game. 😊 I remember playing it as a kid.
It's one of my childhood games together with Ninja Gaiden, Contra and Double Dragon!
Nice! I always love playing horror themed nes games for Halloween, it's like a little tradition for me, thanks for sharing this list, I'll try some of the games I missed last year :)
Did a real good job on this. Enjoyed Looking at the Overview even if the Net was Wide.
Keep up the Good Work! Love the way you describe the Games, specially the True Classics
100k views and only 4k subs is criminal. These videos are great, keep it up man
I was born in 82 so I was alive when people originally played NES. Being around 7 years old, I only owned about 12 NES cartridges. Fester's Quest was one of them. I spent so many hours on that game with my Nintendo Power magazine opened and still never got very far.
Born in the early part of the 90's here and grew up with the NES and SNES. Played so many games on them :)
Sweet Home, Friday The 13th & Simon's Quest are my favorites!! Great to see Sweet Home on this list. Such an amazing game.
Fantastic job and just in time for spooky month!
The reason you're fighting tempura in Monster Party:
The two teleporters in the background of the fight are a clear reference to the movie "The Fly".
Except instead of the Fly, now you're fighting the...Fry.
haha yeah I love that subtle joke there. The little kid version of me had no clue what the teleporters were supposed to be until I finally saw The Fly
Wow, fantastic video! “Fire Bam” you say? Gonna have to check out some of these wackier games!
haha yeah that one looked real weird (and good) from the few minutes I played.
I subbed within the first few minutes. I like how you present everything. Keep up the good work, sir.
The Monster In My Pocket game made me smile. My mom bought me a Monster In My Pocket lunchbox when i was a lil kid. She passed away recently.
My condolences to your loss :(
Amazing efforts on this video, thank you for this
Terminator is -absolutely- a Slasher Movie. It was probably always meant to be one, but the sci-fi aspects got bigger and better over time. Terminator has all the standards. Mass murdering, unstoppable killing machine, check. Origin story that goes into the supranatural (time traveling robot), check. Hero who gets considered a kook and disrespected, despite being the only one with any knowledge of the Killer's origin and threat level, check. Sarah Connor (Final Girl) actually killing the Terminator instead of just letting the more experienced Hero handle it because it turns out he couldn't handle it, check.
Every single Slasher Movie checkmark gets hit by the Terminator movie.
Alien is also a Slasher Movie.
Brilliant video mate, those 56 minutes flew by.
Fantastically researched! Really enjoyed this
10/10 idea presentation and execution! well done my dude have a sub
Shadowgate was the one for me. That soundtrack in the game was spooky to me.
As a Megaten fan, I was most excited for the Digital Devil Story portions.
this video was pretty informative, thank you, subscribed.
Oh boy oh boy 😮 I'm going to download a lot of these games. I never knew about so many of them. Thank you so much
I think that's as thorough a look at spoopy NES games as one could ever make. Can't think of any that got left out. I am a bit surprised that there wasn't mention of the Godzilla creepypasta and subsequent game that was made out of it.
lol that looks great. hadn't come across that before
A most excellent vid! Would definitely love to see a deeper look at Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti! Since it's more than just a 'cute Splatterhouse-ish platformer'.
3:05 - Funny thing about that. See while this never got localized for the NES back in the day, Wanpaku Graffiti actually DID arrive in the West via the overlooked and woefully underrated Splatterhouse Reboot from 2011. In there it can be played as an unlockable title along with the main three games. Though I can’t tell you exactly HOW they’re supposed to be unlocked since I was unfortunate enough to have not played it for myself.
oh cool! I remember the other 3 being on there but didn't know they had the Famicom game on there too.
We need comfy gaming channels like this.
Beautifully done video. Cheers 🎉
Awesome video! Thanks for all the horror games!
I found some that's missing from the list: "Adventures of Dr. Franken" and "Ghost Manor"
thank you! Ghost Manor is hiding in there with the Japanese title Yokai Yashiki 35:01
I'll try and get Dr Franken in the eventual follow up vid :)
Did you know there was a TV show based on Maniac Mansion? It didn’t last long, but it’s interesting trivia.
I heard about that! very curious to watch a few episodes sometime.
Great for making this compilation horror games. I like that you have every game, not just another top10. I would also like to see every Chrismas themed video games. I see tooo many top 10's out there. I'm looking for all video games in a set. I can decide for myself which ones I want to play.
Thanks! I also really like seeing all the oddities too, rather than just the big hits.
Wow, what a great Video, I have to watch your other videos! :) Loved Gremlins 2 on the NES, played it for hours (when i wasn´t watching the movie for hours :D )
I remember all of these games and had a great time playing. Good old days. ☺
Sweet Home was also the first game to have fully animated quick time events (that i know of)
I always thought Dr. Chaos had a creepy vibe when I was a kid. I wasn’t creeped out by much when I was young but there was that weird feeling like I was playing a game no one else knew about like it was found in an old antique shop run by a creepy old lady or something. I had no idea how to play it and anything that did happen was by accident but that made it much more interesting. Also the music in Friday the 13th is really effective.
