6 Video Games Netflix Should Adapt After Castlevania

Published

on

Netflix Castlevania

Castlevania on Netflix is going into its second season, with twice the episodes of the first season this October. But what does the success of this R-rated animated series really mean? Well, for one, it means they might be willing to take a chance on other, similar titles.

But which ones?

Rumors are already swirling about what they might tackle next, but in the meantime, how about these ideas?

BloodborneBloodborne Hunter

This one almost feels too obvious. With equal amounts of blood and gore, Bloodborne would be the next step up from the classic Castlevania. A hunter of monsters, but instead of vampires and demons, we have eldritch horrors in the style of Lovecraft. People transform into beasts, with the most pure becoming the worst monsters.

The story isn’t obscure, but it’s not really pushed into your face in the games either, giving plenty of opportunities for creative license, side plots, and surprises for people who haven’t dived deep into the lore.

Little Nightmares

Little NightmaresLittle Nightmares was more of a puzzle game than straight horror, but make no mistake, the things implied in the backgrounds and by the characters are truly disturbing.

Cannibalism, the use of other sentient races for food, the vast physical differences between the ruling and worker castes all while surviving as a small child in a yellow raincoat is exactly the kind of thing that can creep up your spine when done right. The game also gives you very little in the way of narrative, so a lot of fans would certainly enjoy a trip into a series to learn more about the world these characters and monsters exist in, and a Netflix original would be perfect for that.

DOOM

Doom

Another blood-soaked entry, for all its focus on ultra-violence and killing things, the story of DOOM is actually pretty deep. The reboot included a lot of lore bits talking about the demons conquering the dimension that would become Hell, the story of the Slayer when he first ravaged the demon hordes, and how he got his armor all the way to the setting of the present day game. With the news about Doom Eternal that we got at Quakecon this year, adding a series to the line-up would not be a bad idea at all.

Check out the next page for a few more ideas, including one that’s currently rumored to be in the pipe!

‘Immaculate’ Stars Reveal Which Horror Villains They Would “F, Marry, Kill”

Published

on

Sydney Sweeney is just coming off the success of her rom-com Anyone But You, but she’s ditching the love story for a horror story in her latest film Immaculate.

Sweeney is taking Hollywood by storm, portraying everything from a love-lusting teenager in Euphoria to an accidental superhero in Madame Web. Although the latter got a lot of hate among theater-goers, Immaculate is getting the polar opposite.

The film was screened at SXSW this past week and was well-received. It also gained a reputation for being extremely gory. Derek Smith of Slant says the, “final act contains some of the most twisted, gory violence this particular subgenre of horror has seen in years…”

Thankfully curious horror movie fans won’t have to wait long to see for themselves what Smith is talking about as Immaculate will hit theaters across the United States on March, 22.

Bloody Disgusting says that the movie’s distributor NEON, in a bit of marketing smarts, had stars Sydney Sweeney and Simona Tabasco play a game of “F, Marry, Kill” in which all their choices had to be horror movie villains.

It’s an interesting question, and you might be surprised at their answers. So colorful are their responses that YouTube slapped an age-restricted rating on the video.

Immaculate is a religious horror movie that NEON says stars Sweeney, “as Cecilia, an American nun of devout faith, embarking on a new journey in a remote convent in the picturesque Italian countryside. Cecilia’s warm welcome quickly devolves into a nightmare as it becomes clear her new home harbors a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.”

In related news to the Terminator world, Linda Hamilton stated I’m done. I’m done. I have nothing more to say. The story’s been told, and it’s been done to death. Why anybody would relaunch it is a mystery to me. She claims she doesn’t want to play Sarah Connor anymore. You can check out more of what she said here.

If you were expecting another Paranormal Activity sequel to be a feature film you’d be surprised. Maybe there will be one, but for now, Variety reports that DreadXP co-director and creative director Brian Clarke (DarkStone Digital) are creating a video game based on the series.

“We are thrilled to work with Paramount Game Studios and to have the opportunity to bring the world of ‘Paranormal Activity’ to gamers everywhere,” Epic Pictures CEO and DreadXP producer Patrick Ewald told Variety. “The films are steeped in rich lore and creative scares, and under the stewardship of creative director Brian Clarke, DreadXP’s ‘Paranormal Activity’ video game will honor those core tenets and offer horror fans one of our most terrifying games yet.”

Clarke, who worked on the horror video game The Mortuary Assistant said the Paranormal Activity franchise shows just how much reach a genre-specific title can accomplish, “If you thought ‘The Mortuary Assistant’ was scary, we’re taking what we learned during the development of that title and cranking it up with a more reactive and horrifying haunting system. It’s going to be intense!”

The new game is scheduled to be released in 2026.
