Sonic.EXE

You find an art thing you remember from your youth but when you try it again its wrong somwhow is a pretty standard horror trope. Although Sonic.exe doesn't do much with the trope there's potential. Maybe its a copy of sonic YOU had as a kid, but something tramatic happened in your youth and you understandably grew out of sonic and pals and other kid-y stuff, you grew up too fast. When you find the game again, and get nostalgic, its not haunted by terrifying images that are scary to...sonic characters. No, its full of images that are scary to YOU. An ironic echo of whatever dark thing happened in your childhood, etched unnaturally onto a relic of your childhood. There's potential there, but the original story just ended with like, a video game hedgehog killing somebody.
