If you ever felt like the original Castlevania was an interactive horror movie, it’s because that’s exactly what its creator intended!

When Konami released Castlevania in 1986, creator and cinephile Hitoshi Akamatsu brought his love of classic horror cinema to the 8-bit world, dropping players amidst the ultimate crossover of classic monsters. Approaching development with a film director’s eye, Akamatsu used cinematic staging techniques to introduce bosses.

The “movie” begins as Simon Belmont, who is basically Van Helsing meets Indiana Jones (Akamatsu told his former mentee, 360leo, that he was inspired by Raiders of the Lost Ark), enters the castle armed with a whip to destroy Dracula, while channeling Frank Frazetta’s The Norseman.

The castle’s eerie interior evokes the White Zombie and Dracula films while the opening stage sends an onslaught of enemies reminiscent of Plague of the Zombies, and fish men straight out of Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Next, Medusa awaits in a tower guarded by ghosts and bone pillars, recalling the horrors of 1964’s The Gorgon.

Then you face not one, but *two* mummies, much like Lon Chaney Jr’s The Mummy’s Tomb and Boris Karloff’s terrifying 1932 The Mummy.

Speaking of Karloff, the fourth level brings us Frankenstein’s lumbering Monster accompanied by Igor.

Yet the infamous fifth level is even more diabolical. If you survive the unforgiving Hallway of Death, you encounter the Grim Reaper himself, perhaps a nod to Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors and Metropolis.

Finally, Dracula materializes. Inspired by the legendary portrayals of Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee, Dracula transforms into a monstrous second form known as the Curse of Man after you knock off his head. Or, as fans affectionately call him, the Cookie Monster!

If the movie references weren’t obvious enough, Castlevania’s credits feature hilariously disguised names paying homage to horror legends like Lugosi and, Karloff, Barbara Shelley, Lon Chaney (Sr. and Jr.) director Terence Fisher, and more.
