Every NES & Famicom Horror Game | A Comprehensive Tour in 8-bit Terror

Let’s look at (almost) EVERY horror game released for the NES & Famicom! Over 80 games covered here including briefly diving into some adjacent sub-genres like dark fantasy, yokai hunting, and deep space spooky times. Homebrew horror games are not included this time, but I may give them their own feature soon! I’ve also got a pinned comment below that I am keeping up to date with a few titles I missed and may do another follow up video on them someday. If you’d like to help support the channel beyond watching and sharing this video, check out my free horror adventure game for Gameboy at Or check out my Twitch stream sometime at Most game footage was recorded on real hardware using an RGB modded AV Famicom and upscaled with a Retrotink 5x, with a few exceptions requiring an emulator to run properly. 0:00 Intro 0:43 Monster Party 2:08 Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti 3:26 Friday the 13th 4:29 A Nightmare on Elm Street 5:29 Beetlejuice 6:29 Ghoul School 7:21 Maniac Mansion 8:31 Shadowgate 9:29 Uninvited 10:19 Dark Seed 10:53 Sweet Home 11:56 Bio Hazard (Resident Evil) 12:50 Dr. Chaos 13:54 Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde 14:46 Frankenstein: The Monster Returns 15:35 Bram Stoker’s Dracula 16:54 Drac’s Night Out 17:33 Castlevania 18:30 Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest 19:16 Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse 20:18 Kid Dracula 21:10 8 Eyes 21:56 Matou no Hokai 22:44 Holy Diver 23:35 Werewolf: The Last Warrior 24:28 Altered Beast 25:12 Monster in my Pocket 26:02 Gremlins 2: The New Batch 26:55 Fester’s Quest 27:52 The Addams Family 28:27 The Addams Family: Pugsley’s Scavenger Hunt 29:10 Ghostbusters 30:04 Ghostbusters II 30:36 New Ghostbusters II 31:15 Ghosts ‘n Goblins 32:21 Gargoyle’s Quest II 33:08 Misc.
