Horror Movie Halloween Pitched as Move, Kinect Game
Casual gamers have found a home on the PlayStation Move and Kinect, with dance and sports titles filling the peripherals’ library. Wouldn’t it be better if core gamers could have some fun murdering people?
Spotted by internet sleuth Supererogatory, Thierry Perreau, Creative Director at Neko Entertainment, revealed on his LinkedIn that he worked on a pitch for a motion controlled game based on the hit slasher movie series Halloween. Perreau has been working as a Game Designer and Concept Designer since September 2005, so the pitch could have been pitched any time since 2005. The LinkedIn states (translated):
Halloween (from the film) for the Wii, the Xbox 360 (Kinect) and the PS3 (PS Move)
With the film series collectively grossing over $366 million at the box-office, a game based on the franchise would certainly be successful, and a motion controlled version could have promise. As it was only pitched, there’s no knowing whether the game will actually ever be made, and if it is, whether we’ll end up playing as Michael Myers or one of his would-be victims.

Does this make any one else laugh maniacally, or am I just demented?
I’m gonna go with demented! Muahahaha…Oh wait.
It could just be mrs jane but yeah i’m laughing histarically too, i’m gonna go play ju-on on the wii now.
If its based in the recent Halloween directed by Rob Zombie then that’s gonna suck hard. The first 2 Halloween movies by John Carpenter were the best ones
I completely agree, ZombieHell. I read an interview with John Carpenter, the guy that made the first two Halloween movies in the 70s and 80s, that Michael Myers was actually killed at the end of the 2nd movie, but when the rights to the movies were sold, they made a ton of sequels.
The newer remakes are terrible compared to the originals.
Agreed, although imo the first rob zombie halloween movie wasn’t too bad but the second one was a stinker.
