"Who's ready to turn a headless 12-year old knife-wielding brat into bratwurst? Hey, the little zombie has a discipline problem, OK? Meet a guy who lost his soul and other body parts. Check out some artwork that's worth dismembering. You gonna choose what's behind Door #1, Door #2, or Door #200?" -Manual excerpt.

Scream TV is the horror-themed world in Gex: Enter The Gecko. The level takes place in a large haunted mansion and is a spoof of horror movies. In the level Gex encounters Ghosts, Zombies, and floating furniture.

Setting and inspiration

The set that channel is inside a grayish brown brick building, diamond plaid with two colors (white and blue) on wall, wooden floor, wooden railings, wooden ceilings, horrendous paintings, torches, red carpets, medieval armors, rugs in the walls, grandfather clocks, desks, wooden doors, book shelves, tables, metal sheets for climbing, windows with different views (thunderstorm, white, blocked with wooden boards and a graveyard), chandeliers, blue streamers with different pictures (skull, pair of geckos or trio of octopuses), ember pits, hexagram sacrificial fences, morgues, hanging chains and coffins.

This channel is based to the genre that relates to horror, for example: The first level, "Smellraiser," resembles a 19th century mansion, with "Frankensteinfield" vaguely resembling a castle. Additionally, the level "Poltergex" resembles a more modern, 20th century mansion.

The haunted elevator is an inspiration from one of Disneyland's rides called the Haunted Mansion where it shows 3 horrendous pictures when it goes down.

Trivia

• Scream TV along with Rezopolis have the largest amount of levels in Gex: Enter the Gecko with 5 total. However Rezopolis possibly has 6 levels so it is possible that Rezopolis is larger.
• Scream TV has the largest amount of missions of all levels with 3 levels having 3 missions and 2 levels having 1 mission. There is not even a single Scream TV level with 2 missions.
• Scream TV is very similar to the Cemetery in Gex, only Scream TV takes place in a haunted house/tower and the Cemetery takes place in a graveyard. Although the idea of a haunted house was also intended for the first game, but the concept was removed from further development.
• The secret level "Texas Chainsaw Manicure" is not included within the N64 version of the game.
• When Gex uses his tail to whack or jumps on the grandfather clock, the bell rings.
• Several portraits and paintings served as disturbing frames by this world, for example:
  • Duke of Wellington
  • Portement de croix
  • Mona Lisa
  • The Anatomy Lesson Of Doctor Nicolaes Tulp
• Early versions of the game featured Freddy Kreuger gloves as a collectable.
