Sweet home and Splatterhouse wan paku graffiti though that one's more of a horror comedy in respects towards it's main entries to the series

On the NES? Nowadays, nothing really. LJN's Friday the 13th scared me as a child, because the player never knew where Jason would appear, and he was fairly powerful, though this was primarily because of terrible controls, so you genuinely feel hopeless while defending yourself. Add to that, the game is a race to stop him before he kills off everyone you know, and finishing up with whomever you chose at the start. Worth noting is that every LJN title is absolute shit.

I'm not too sure "horror" was a genre taken seriously in the 80s. From what I can tell, the closest you could come was hack 'n slashes or sidescrolling shooters. Stuff like Ghosts and Goblins, Akumajo Dracula/Castlevania, etc.

I'd say Ghoul School, maybe, just as a horror-THEMED game, as well as the aforementioned.


I was born ready. My eyelashes, alas, were not.

I played Ghoul School
I don't know what but something about it seems childish to me
