Yep especially with the other worlds. The horror there can be ....Well
Need to make a fight game on mk engine with just horror characters. Like terrordome
Horror game by Netherrealm was actually in the works. but do to licensing it could not fall through at the time. That is how TerrorDrome ended up getting made.
The axe murderer
For I am death and I ride on a pale horse
Yeah I heard about that
I can think of a proper roster to put in those games
Closest to a crossover I can think of is dead by daylight

Mortal Kombat lore is filled with vampires, witches, sorcerers, demons. But I am referencing the games though.

I can see it happening now though, since they do have horror characters in the MK games now. Roster may not be huge though.

Yeah licensing especially with movies is a issue
From my knowledge all the horror characters in the MK games are actually all from Time Warner.

I'd say it's really just the gore that makes those characters translate so smoothly. MK is more action than anything (Spawn, Joker, Rambo and Terminator have also been on rosters). But in terms of the underlying concepts, you could DEFINITELY make some horror based content. Scorpion is a vengeful demon, Shang Tsung is a shapeshifter who eats souls, and it's a universe where the gods actively fight over whether or not to destroy humanity...plus Quan Chi and Baraka.
If we're talking fighting game franchises that roll with horror, Darkstalkers needs to be revived and it bugs me that it hasn't been brought back. It was literally a collection of monsters from around the globe and it had dope designs. Samurai Showdown got a reboot but Darkstalkers and Fatal Fury can't get love? I need those back.
There was also a horror fighting game that was so violent it got banned and never released. It was called Thrill Kill and eventually they toned down the violence and horror, overlayed it with hip hop and ninjas, then made all the character Wu-Tang Clan members. So the slept on PSOne classic fighting game Wu-Tang Shaolin Style came out of the ashes of a coulda-been horror/fighting crossover classic.

I've gotten some horror media to shout out...
Gave Them a try and through the first few episodes, I thought it was pretty good. But it got more and more gratuitous as it went on. I sometimes enjoy a horror movie that's mean to its characters. Most of the time the people are unlikeable or you can feel the revenge fantasy that the writer was having when they made the ish (ie: the Lodge). But this fell into trauma-torture porn the way that Monsterland did. It was a more coherent attempt at visualizing the ways racism and alienation can cause internalized trauma, but still came across forced. I thought it might be able to salvage itself with a good payoff but then the payoff...sucked. They were "in your face" about everything they did to the point of it being gross and then they didn't have the balls to give these characters an out or ending.
Then I peeped the audio book of a horror novel called We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix. It's about a woman who almost got famous with her band, but the lead singer screwed them all over and blew up off the backs of their work. It's only years later that she realizes he sold his and the bands' souls to the devil literally for that success. Now he's closing loose ends by trying to kill the old members and she has to get the band back together. It's not very scary, but it's got horror motifs and a great sense of humor. I think love of music and performance comes through more than the horror, but it was a fun piece of fiction for me. I generally do non-fiction, so it was a welcome detour.
And finally, a to be continued. I watched the first Warlock on a whim and omg...it's sooo 90's. It's got pretty bad effects, over the top acting, and a plot that's nonsensical in the funnest possible ways. I'm holding off on saying more because I found the sequel on IMDB TV and I'm definitely going through that one. It's about a warlock who travels centuries into the future and a hunter that follows him. They wind up going from dark ages England to 90's Boston and the writing has no problem making jokes of the disconnect these medieval style magicians have with modern lifestyles. It's B-movie gold and I hope the sequel doesn't ruin it. I'll say more when I know.
