Sonic The Hedgehog is a beloved figure, lending his name to an abundance of games in the Sonic franchise, including crossover games such as Super Smash Bros. and Mario and Sonic. As such, it is no surprise that he has found his way into the realm of horror. Since the creepypasta "SONIC.EXE" was posted in 2011 by JC-the-Hyena revolving around a cursed Sonic game in which Sonic is some kind of evil entity Sonic horror games have steadily increased in popularity.
