The gameplay of Night Trap was unique at the time. As an interactive movie, originally developed for Hasbro’s Control Vision console in 1986, the game was repurposed and redeveloped for SEGA's Genesis add-on, the SEGA CD, as a launch title in 1992.

According to GamePro magazine at the time, Carol Fuller, a spokesperson for Toys “R” Us, alleged that the complaints came from “an orchestrated telephone campaign,” but did not share any further details.
Speaking at the time, Sega spokesman Richard Brudvik-Lindner added, "Maybe not everyone is perceiving what we intended them to perceive," comparing the film to popular 1950s vampire films.
To this day, the impact of Night Trap can still be felt: following the 1993 Senate hearing, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) was formed to rate video games, similar to how motion pictures are rated.
