In it, an artificial intelligence known as AM gained sentience and all but swept. As such, Ellison’s classic sci-fi horror story I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream remains unfilmable even with all of the advances made in visual filmmaking technology and the loosening of censorship rules. A video game based on a 1967 novel by Harlan Ellison by the same title.

Many of the scariest elements of the short story are deeply felt and, while it is disturbing to envision an endless, hopeless search for imaginary food in a pitiless labyrinth, this could translate to watching characters wander around pointlessly in a movie adaptation. However, the ending would be tricky to bring to life onscreen, as would the general plot of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream. Like the prospect of a supercomputer torturing humans for fun or the idea of a global apocalypse, this image is unsettling in the original short story. While horror anthology shows like Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities have attempted to bring Lovecraft's monsters to life on-screen, Ellison's ending for I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream only seems like a gruesome predicament because the reader can't see it realized. The sentient supercomputer that kept him and four over humans alive is frustrated when the other humans kill themselves and each other out of frustration, so the machine spends years softening the main character until he can’t hurt himself, hurt anyone else, move, or do anything else. Ellison’s story works best in book form because the main character’s eventual fate could look unintentionally comical if realized on screen.
