Evil Night (also known as Hell Night in Japan) is a Light Gun arcade game released by Konami in 1998. The successor to Crypt Killer from 1995, the game concerns three cops battling legions of The Undead in an old, decrepit mansion in search of their missing friend.While reminiscent of The House of the Dead, Evil Night uniquely offers three-player cooperative action: players 1 and 3 wield handguns that can charge powerful "Penetrating Bullets", while player 2 uses a pump-action shotgun. Consisting of five stages, the game's branching paths and Multiple Endings are determined by collectible items.Thanks to its unreliable Panasonic M2 hardware and being outclassed by the House of the Dead franchise, Evil Night faded into obscurity and is extremely rare to find in arcades (much less working properly). Despite this, it has garnered a cult following, especially for its hokey voice acting.Three full single-player walkthroughs of the game are available on YouTube, along with a third older playthrough on the Japanese version. Other videos of the game's different endings have also surfaced.Not to be confused with Sega and Namco's fellow light gun game Vampire Night, also influenced by House of the Dead.

Multiple Endings
 Evil Night (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: Much like The House of the Dead series, your performance determines the ending of the game. Unlike its predecessor, though, Evil Night features hidden items (keys and books) which seem to alter the ending. In the "Normal" ending, the main characters reunite with Liv and walk off. Liv looks over her shoulder as the cemetery gate closes; the camera cuts to the foot of the previously-defeated final boss stepping into the ground, implying that he's still alive. The "Good" endingnote (posted by Youtuber "GeamzinGuy" on April 23, 2017) has the main characters reunite with Liv as normal. Liv accidentally drops a spell book, setting the entire mansion on fire; the main characters walk off together. Before the credits roll, Liv narrates: "After that day, we never heard that voice again." The "Bad" ending features a Not Quite Dead final boss transforming Liv and her friends into zombies. The arcade cabinet mentions a fourth, "perfect" ending, though currently this yet to be seen or confirmed.

Anachronism Stew: In "Course B" of stage 1, there's computers, fax machines, and printers in one room. This is strange, considering that the mansion resembles one of those creepy, age-old, haunted mansions in the United Kingdom (complete with cobblestone floors and walls, metal doors, trapdoors, and panic rooms covered by bookshelves). Justified with the implication that recent human activity has taken place at the mansion; in this same room, a journal hints that scientists or archeologists were researching the underground ancient ruins on the premises. This also explains the hidden research lab in the underpass level.

Golden Path: Among the three selectable paths in the first stage, "Course B" contains one of the two collectible books. Also, to get the third key, one must enter the third stage with at least the second key equipped and not shoot the locked gate. There is no alternative to this.

comment
Justified with the implication that recent human activity has taken place at the mansion; in this same room, a journal hints that scientists or archeologists were researching the underground ancient ruins on the premises. This also explains the hidden research lab in the underpass level.

Half the Man He Used to Be: Limbless zombies split in half once defeated. Torso zombies on the other hand, are Exactly What It Says on the Tin; zombies with only the upper halves of their body. They swing around by their hands while attacking the player.

Shoot Out the Lock: Locked gates can be shot in the third stage and allow passage to alternate routes. Electing not to will take you on a different detour through the stage. There are two of them, and whichever one you encounter depends on how many or how little keys you've collected from the stage prior.

One of the collectible items is a journal which suggests that scientists or archaeologists accidentally invoked the curse through their research of an ancient underground rune.

Shout-Out
 Evil Night (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Several of them. As stated above, some of the zombies resemble those from House of the Dead, as they wield weapons such as axes, knives, claws, hatchets, scythes, chainsaws, and drills. Furthermore, the first form of the final boss resembles the Magician. The protagonists also fall under this. Both Henry and Joe resemble Thomas Rogan and G from House of the Dead, respectively. Liv, the Damsel in Distress, also draws comparisons with Sophie Richards. The Runes stage — complete with skeletal cult worshipers — is reminiscent of Crypt Killer, another three-player rail shooter by Konami and Evil Night's predecessor. Its Japanese title, Henry Explorers, is also referenced in that one of the three main characters is named Henry. The zombies with burnt skin, bald heads and claws will look...familiar to horror movie fans. Egregiously enough, Japanese Evil Night cabinets depict this same zombie twirling a hat on the marquee. The butcher boss and especially the normal chainsaw-wielding zombies also strike similarities with another horror franchise. The Giant Snake boss is possibly a nod to the first entry of the most successful survival horror games, which also featured a giant snake as a boss.

Epic Flail: An interesting example. There's zombies that attack with a ball and chain...except that they're limbless. One fan theory is that the ball and chain is possessed by a spirit using the mutilated corpse as its host. Played straight with the second level boss, who actually swings around his ball and chain to attack.
