How Werewolves Have Moved From Horror Movies To Music And Slots

Werewolves are among the most enduring horror movie characters, but they’ve gone mainstream in recent years, popping up in numerous ways and places. Have these shape-shifting creatures lost their ability to scare us by appearing in so many movies, games, and even songs? Source: Pixabay Werewolves in Games Many games have werewolves in them, from Blood the Werewolf, released by Scientifically Proven in 2013, to Werewolf Within, and several of the Castlevania titles. Not all of these games present the wolf-like creatures as being scary, but they do give them special powers, such as extra speed and power, making them extremely hard to defeat. We can also see werewolves feature in online slots, making these creatures available to a wide audience of gamblers.

Horror Characters That Future Mortal Kombat Games Should Introduce

In recent years, the Mortal Kombat series has made headlines for bolstering its already frightening roster of fighters with crossover characters from other gaming and movie genres. Due to Mortal Kombat’s gore-soaked and ultra-violent nature, the best appearances tend to come from horror or action films. In recent years, players have seen Freddy Krueger, the Terminator, and even the xenomorph from Alien maim and mutilate their way into the legendary combat series.
