The Halloween video game for Atari from 1983 — yep, that’s right, there was a HALLOWEEN VIDEO GAME — was more violent than the movie itself. The player would assume the role of a babysitter who is attempting to rescue a kid who was probably up past his or her bedtime from a masked villain (guess who). However, if you failed in your quest and were caught the villain would behead you. Pixelated blood would spurt all around.
