What Are Some Old Video Games That Would Make For Good Halloween Decorations?

the castlevania games. you played a vampire hunter on his crusade to destroy dracula or something like that. the game took place in all kinds of creepy locales, like old bell towers, graveyards, castles, and stuff. you had to fight medusas and ghost pirates and vampires and skeletons, and all sorts of other creepy things. the main character used a whip, but you could also get axes and throwing daggers and holy water, and a boomerang cross.
since super mario world, mario games have had haunted houses with ghost baddies. they would look cool as decorations.
i always thought the image of gannon from the first two zelda games was especially creepy. he was a dark, pig-like demon with horns. if you can get a copy of zelda 2 the adventures of link, lose the game and check out the image of the laughing gannon. it is a well-known game image that you could probably create pretty easily.
there are a lot of old nintendo games that were kind of creepy, but might not have any memorable imagery that would be fun for halloween. i’d stick with recognizeable images from well-known games.
some more things that may or may not work:
few enemies in a game were as creepy as the metroids. these jellyfish-like aliens would swoop down out of nowhere, latch onto your face and just start sucking the energy out of you. the only way to destroy them was to freeze them and then drop a super bomb on them. many of the metroid bosses were creepy as well, especially ridley, the demonic-looking pteradactyl/dragon thing.
lots of scary enemies in dragon warrior. ghosts, wolves, dragons, skeletons, creepy magicians… but i’m not sure how familiar the american audience is with dragon warrior games.
pacman ghosts?
hope this has helped you with some ideas
