The Icon Of Sin As a Horror Movie: Some Screenshots I took

[Pure Hellspawn]

So the Icon Of Sin is known as a not-so-good boss. It's a wall.  But I like to think of it from a horror perspective as opposed to a cool boss and this is solely because of the telefrag. I've had a few jump-scares, and made some screenshots to show the horror.

This is map30 of Armadosia being flooded with spawn spots and cubes constantly landing. Notarget and god mode on - but telefrag will kill you even in god mode.

 

Could you see the Icon OF Sin being more of a horror than say an interesting boss fight?

 

PS: I'm also a fan of the rain at the beginning. When it's raining I like activating the Icon, warping back to the start and laying on the couch.

Never played this mapset but that face looks ridiculous.  It's just a giant random dude. Nothing remotely scary about that, it's the opposite of horror.

I wasn't referring to the face of the boss - but rather the cubes going to nearly every location and you having to avoid being telefragged. Which I used "summon" cheats to achieve.

One of my biggest memories of my earliest DOOM days were with god mode on.  I remember jumping up out of my chair and screaming when I got telefragged. I was maybe 7.
