I am very much a fan of introducing horror elements in kid-friendly properties, and Mad Monster Mansion is no exception to this. Stuff like this can be great gateways into building a relationship with horror and things that scare you, and though I don't think Mad Monster Mansion is likely to scare even a little kid all that much, the horror elements on display here would definitely establish an interest in seeking similar things to it, I think. Classic iconography from a hedgerow maze to a voodoo witch doctor to a stained-glass clock tower make Mad Monster Mansion an almost definitive checklist of spooky elements specifically designed as a crash course in horror. Even the music sells this idea quite well, and is maybe the creepiest element of this whole thing. It's cool to see a game like this try something different and also commit to it fully, giving kids and adults alike something to appreciate.

I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back.
