Monster Mash Game

November 8, 2007 9:41 AM

Help me find an old computer game.

I remember playing a computer game from when I was much younger (fifth grade) which involved (from what I can remember) a haunted house/mansion with monsters, and in each room you had to perform certain tasks. I remember the music at the very beginning of the game was Monster Mash. I also seem to think that the object was to get keys or something to be able to escape.

Does anybody know what the heck I am talking about?

Can we get a period of time in a calendar that isn't school years?

I think I found it, but now I want to be able to download/play it without having to purchase and wait for shipping.

I vaguely remember "Manic Mansion" using the Monster MAsh music. But memory is fickle.

My first thought was the 1982 Atari 2600 game Haunted House.

I had a game called the Rocky Horror Show (or something to that effect) for my old Apple that was kind of similar. You had to go around a house looking for pieces of a machine. And there were lots of characters/quotes from the movie, but being 5 I had no idea what it was all about.

This would be like 1985-ish.
