 Always thought that Maniac Mansion would make a great film if done in the style of a campy B-Hore movie. George Lucas should write it. Fuck no! The game is very cinematic. Just look at the opening scene in Glorious 8-Bit. The moon lingering large in the sky. Imagine seeing that on a real hilltop on the big screen, with the moon glaring down upon our cast of characters. I would actually start the movie off with Dr. Fred abducting Sandy during the opening credits. Then it cuts to Dave barreling down the highway in an old beat-up car, with all of his friends crammed in the back as they devise a way to get into the mansion. You couldn't use every aspect of the game in a movie, but you can definitely use most of it. You can build tons of tension as they try to break into the house, sneaking through the dark hallways trying not to get caught by its inhabitants. There would be a great jump scare when you first encounter Nurse Edna in the kitchen. Just imagine the light from inside of the fridge illuminating her grotesque face.
