The purple monsters that come out of cupboards, I have no idea. well, there was a giant baby in Honey, I Blew Up the Kid, but the idea might have come from something like Attack of the 50 Foot Woman instead. There were also a few different movies with mushroom men, like The Day of the Triffids and Matango, and I'm not sure which their portrayal in the game is most like.
The style of the martians in the game reminds me of Mars Attacks, but there were lots of '50s movies with martians. Same with the ants and spiders aggressive bugs are in lots of things, though Them! and Arachnophobia come to mind as possible inspirations. Pod plants and pod people - Invasion of the Body SnatchersĬhainsaw maniacs - a mashup of Jason from the Friday the 13th series and Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw MassacreĪs for the mummies and werewolves, I don't know if they're based on the creatures in general, or films like The Mummy and The Wolf Man (or even An American Werewolf in London). Squidmen - Creature from the Black Lagoon So what creature features and such did Ebert and company draw the monsters from? The ones I'm pretty sure of are. Could get frustrating in more complicated levels, like the pyramids, Draculas castle etc. Another arcade game with similar mechanics is Alien Syndrome. Some neighbors are meant to be seen from an overhead view.
I played this game a ton when I was younger! I had Ghoul Patrol as well, but that was pretty disappointing compared to its predecessor.
