The '''Game Boy Horror''' is a machine designed by [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. It allows Professor E. Gadd to communicate with [[Luigi]]. It also has a map, Luigi's stats, the [[Portrait Ghost]]'s descriptions, and a [[Boo Radar|radar]] for [[Boo]]s. Luigi can look in the Game Boy Horror's camera screen to allow the player to see the [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|mansion]] in the first person perspective. The player can also select certain objects and have Luigi say something about it, much like the [[Tattle]] ability in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. If Luigi checks a mirror with the Game Boy Horror, he will be warped back to the [[Foyer|Foyer of the first floor]] automatically; however, this does not work with the mirror in the [[Mirror Room]].

The Game Boy Horror was designed after the old [[Game Boy Color]], with the "HORROR" on it even resembling the Game Boy Color's "COLOR", even though the [[Game Boy Advance]] was already released. This was because throughout the early conceptual development of ''Luigi's Mansion'', the then-unreleased Game Boy Advance's design was wavering throughout.<ref>[http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=261 N-sider.com] (Accessed on 6-12-09)</ref> In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', it was succeeded by the [[Dual Scream]].

The Game Boy Horror was [[List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga pre-release and unused content|going to be]] an item in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'',<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/mlss_lost.shtml The Mushroom Kingdom] (Accessed on 6-12-09)</ref> but it was replaced with the updated [[Game Boy Horror SP]], modeled after the ''[[Game Boy Advance SP]]'', which can be used to get rare items in every battle and is earned after fixing every blend. Also, Prof. E. Gadd occasionally contacts the [[Starbeans Cafe]] using a giant two-way Game Boy Horror that is capable of warping items between the two locations.

*By pausing or using the Game Boy Horror in a dark room, one can hear that the monsters are singing the ''Luigi's Mansion'' theme song.

*In early builds of the game, the Game Boy Horror served to show the 24-hour time limit Luigi originally had to save Mario, and was later removed.
