All other movie genres are I remember there was a friday the 13th game for the NES but besides that other games escape me. I think with all of the movies coming out now why haven't they made the transition.

They are making a game based on the Saw movies. But that's about all I think will happen.

Because just like almost every other movie-game, it would fail.

Movie games aren't good. Most horror games have a similar premise to the movies anyway.  Left 4 Dead is a lot like 28 days/weeks later.  Dead Rising and Dawn of the Dead. 

I am not saying that they would be good but every other genre or movie franchise has been whored out except for this one which would actually seem to be the cheapest to get the rights to, compared to the James Bond and Indiana Jones of the world.

Movie games suck, sorry to say it... But they should consider making some horror movie games, I'm sure they wouldn't be that bad.

It is really hard to make gamers scared and keep them intrested in the game, i feel FEAR did a good job of it.

I think there was a Texas Chainsaw Massacre game for Atari 2600. Picture that movie with 2600 graphics. Fun. ;)

It's popular and it has been done successfully with the condemned series.  If it keeps selling, they'll keep making it.

well horror movies don't usually have as big a budget as other movie genres

They wouldn't end up well

Most horror movie franchises have deteriorated into formulaic garbage. Just think how bad the games would be.

The survival horror genre has some pretty strong candidates like the Silent Hill and Resident Evil franchises both sell really well while other new franchises like Obscure or Haunting Ground remain relatively unknown. With most horror movies being low-budget and director driven faire they really don't have the mass appeal to have a tie-in video game let alone the marketing to have a game to support its release.

Horror movies are centered around suspense. How would a video game of a horror movie work? You couldn't be the Monster/Killer/Whatever because you would know everything (This eliminating the suspense) and being the victims wouldn't be fun either simply because you can't really fight back.
