Gun Media’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game is adding another horror icon to its roster with You’re Next and Re-Animator actor Barbara Crampton.
Crampton revealed the news via Instagram.
Barbara Crampton Takes on New Video Game Role
It won’t be Crampton’s first video game horror role, as she was the voice and visage of the character Mom in co-op zombie shooter Back 4 Blood. Amusingly, this character is also described as a ”mom” character, though likely a more typical mom than the tough-as-nails zombie slayer.
Gun had previously mentioned a new Victim and a new Family member were both in development, while still requiring further fine-tuning and testing.
Gun Media has had a successful start with its multiplayer take on Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, with high player counts, good reviews, and a general swell of positivity surrounding it.
It’s a redemption story after the unfortunate licensing situation with Friday the 13th The Game, one it’s not looking to repeat as it has a great understanding with the rights holder.
