An Homage to Hugo's House of Horrors (Haiku & Sketch)


A drawing of the exterior of a haunted house from the game Hugo's House of Horrors next to haiku poem text that reads "The best haunted house / is Hugo's House of Horrors / pure 90s delight"

The best haunted house

is Hugo's House of Horrors -

pure 90s delight


I took some creative liberties with today's theme, because when I picture any haunted house, it will forever look like the original Hugo's House of Horrors exterior to me. I truly credit this game (a text parser-based adventure from 1990) as shaping my childhood and creating the spooky/Halloween-loving person I am today. I still replay Hugo every few years and it brings me such delight. Please tell me I'm not the only one out there who remembers this epic masterpiece of a game. The title screen song was playing on a constant loop in my head while I drew this rendition of the original pixel art (below for reference). *I will give bonus points to anyone who can tell me/ remembers how to unlock the door to this house.*
