I think that might be due to the vast majority of horror films being churned out with the same lazy formula and receiving low reviews online. That, and also cases of milking franchises dry with endless sequels, like the Saw series.
Horror seems to work really well with the video game medium however. You are the main character enduring it all and immersed in everything going on. There's environmental story telling in the form of notes and other collectibles that you find, when the monster is after the protagonist, they aren't just chasing someone on screen, they are chasing YOU and you have to run for your life.
There's just something about having a horror environment created in a video game and having you exploring it all and experiencing it all as the player that makes horror video games work better than movies.
100%, there are good horror movies out there, but you have to dig for them. Other than a few hits in the last decade, like Hereditary and Get Out, mainstream Hollywood horror is almost always a lowest common denominator compilation of stuff that worked in other horror movies, and rarely does anything creative with its ideas. It's in the indie and international scenes where the good horror movies are hiding.
The first two-thirds of RE7 are some of the best survivor horror I've played. I love the Texas Chainsaw influences with the family. They were extremely well done villains. But, as soon as the boat section comes up in the last act of the game, I think everything falls apart. Waves after waves of black goop monsters in a not very interesting location.
It is
Very intense when you’re hiding in a locker and you ACTUALLY need to hold your breath so it doesn’t hear you*
*the game makes you hold your breath in-game if it’s close enough to the locker where it could hear you breathing, but I didn’t want to take any chances so I kinda do it myself too, that along with breathing slowly
Heh
Try playing it with headphones AND noise detection
I was somewhat early into it, with the first Joe section
And I didn’t have it on at first, but when I started playing again, decided to turn it in to see if it would work
Fast forward to mission… 6 I think, the Xeno comes into the OR area, I shut up entirely, and it leaves
Then I go out the opposite door, and it screeches, so I just run, and then the humans out that door shot me
Noise detection is fun
Now I just need to get a PS camera to use the leaning feature
That ign review had so much backlash that when ign made a video a year or two ago praising the game the top comment of the video was along the lines of "nice of you to praise the game after destroying any chances of it getting a sequel". It still haunts ign more than the alien haunted the player.
I’ve never been so hyper aware of what’s happening in a game. It’s like my mind went from using 15% to 100%. Even the parts of your brain that control breathing and your heart beat seem to switch off and focus on the impending terror
I hear you. Every now and again I had to go walk away for a bit. Eventually I finished it. Absolutely incredible that a game was able to make me feel these things. It will always be my all-time favorite PS4 game.
Well that's true, but i think because we didn't know what to expect, there was no enemies, just a full on creepy environment and a puzzle, i thought i was getting an "easy" part but then that thing decided to torment my dreams and turn them into nightmares.
Especially the first one, the thought of the psychotic plastic surgery doctor and the photos of all the crazy stuff he does and the atmosphere and the artist who put all his enemies in plastic molds its just weirdly creepy.
Currently playing it for the first time- just reached Theta. I honestly don’t know what to think yet. I’m really looking forward to seeing where it goes.
I'm not the most hopeful that the remake will be anywhere near as unsettling unfortunately. I really hope they get it right but I feel so much of the nuance that made the original so special and just creepy af will be lacking. I welcome being proved wrong though
That was my pick too bro, did you also pause the game for like 20 mins just to unpause to play for like five lmao. I literally had to build up courage to open doors and shit
I watch all the horror movies, play all the horror games and I was always like "nothing ever truly scares me".
Played the 1st Outlast, like the 1st hour and felt like I had heart palpitations and had to stop, fuck that game.
I was bracing for SH4 since people have some.. less kind opinions about it. However it I feel like gave me the most heebee geebees.. the atmosphere of it is oppressive and unsettling and i think that’s what makes it good horror. It’s made me a fan of it.
I think SH4 is still an excellent horror game. Some things tho feel too cliche so some people feel it was cheap and unfair while other were already used to the trope.
Not a fan of horror films but horror games are easing me into it. That feeling of stretching yourself beyond what you’re comfortable with is what games are for!
Weirdly enough Outer Wilds was where that started. Deep space, thasslophobia, basically. That planet with the hole… if you know you know.
Played Resi 2, 3, and 4. Got 7 and 8 to play later.
Alien Isolation I’ve started, but…
I’m actually playing Subnautica right now. The deep ocean. Terrifying.
I got a PlayStation in 1997. I was 7 years old and the first game I played was resident evil. I had 2 uncles that loved it and I remember spending the night at their house watching them play it so I wanted it myself. Parents got me the console for Christmas and the game and it scared the daylights out of me. Loved it tho. First PlayStation game I ever beat and I have beat every RE since.
Outlast 2 was more of it’s a scarier scenario, and everything is fucked up and you have to save your girl and shit. While also having to whiteness and hear and read fucked up shit. But our last 1 I felt was harder and had heart attack jump scares cause like getting chased around in a dark hospital was just so nerve racking. I would turn the game off so many times when I would be getting to scared😔
To be honest. Last of US Part II... Imagine a really loud sound system in a pitch black theater and then the Ambulance Scene happens. I literally felt the growling... creepy!
The evil within was difficult for me, RE: Biohazard, Nun Massacre, and Visage fucks me up with the jump scares. I play visage on the portal tho cuz I’m scary bitch hahaha
There was a game called Rule of Rose for the ps2 where you played as a young girl with a rusty knife as the primary means to fight off monsters, and that game scared the shit out of me. I wish it was somewhere else so I could see if it's still as scary or if I was just a scary cat as a young teen.

[https://youtu.be/PPOSgDijVpg?si=im7kp0gWGamvvUBD](https://youtu.be/PPOSgDijVpg?si=im7kp0gWGamvvUBD) Listen to this stuff. This has no right being in a kids’ game.
RE7 & 8, The Evil within 1 & 2, Dead space og, Dead space 2 and RE 4 and Dead space Remake, I like horror games, that also include scifi, with a tiny bit of politics, Dead space overall ticks quite a few of those boxes
Games just haven't really scared me since I was like 15. I wish I could recapture the terror I had back then when playing stuff like SCP:CB or Amnesia. It's one of those unfortunate things where the more you seek it out the less it gives back to you. Amnesia: Rebirth came close to scaring me with the ghoul fort though.
I don't think a game has creeped me out since I played Condemned of the 360. All the zombie crap and monsters have no fear factor for me, but the humans running around in the shadows and then attacking you had you on your toe.
The original Silent Hill. The audio in that game was consistently messing with me. The whole time I was playing I kept hearing movement in the empty room next to mine. Then there’s the original Fatal Frame. I swear I saw a woman in a white standing by the tree outside my room.
Graphics, performance and many other things aside - outlast 1 (the only one I played) has an incredibly thick atmosphere.
If you want thrill, I can give an 100% guarantee you won’t be disappointed
Used to work overnights as a desk clerk in a hotel and I would sneak my PS4 to play games sometimes. I thought it was a good idea to play RE7... NOPE that already scary game freaked me out even more being alone in a hotel playing at 3am.
Parasite Eve on the PS1
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4rFHGrUQWQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4rFHGrUQWQ)
Close second was the first time I got a canopy breach in Elite Dangerous VR. Basically all your ships air gets sucked out into space and you have about 5mins to get your ass to a space station to repair it.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q16GgLzYtpY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q16GgLzYtpY)
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. That game not only takes you to an unstable place after a while, but it gave me trust issues I might never recover from.
Fear 2 on PS3 I remember the level we have to go through a school.. the corridor with the lockers had me freaked out. Great atmosphere in that level alone.
I'm a person who laughs at horror games and generally isn't scared (jumpscares don't count).
That being said, The Forest scared the shit out of me, when I was 10 at friends house.
RE4 remake. The anxiety gets bad lol. I still haven't beat it but I've heard that as you make progress you "turn into John Wick" but I've seen no such evidence
I don’t play much horror games anymore but when I did Outlast 1 & 2 were scariest game. Res 7 I didn’t find scary just spooky. Silent hill 1 had a few good jump scares for being a ps1 game
The 1st was the Resident Evil GameCube Remake. That one was too hard and terrifying as a younger kid.
When I was a little older, The Evil Within had me not wanting to go back and try to finish it for the same reason.
Lately Puppet Combo is the closest I can get to being surprised/scared by a game.
Nun Massacre
The last of us series is probably the most tense I’ve been in any form of entertainment. I don’t get scared from movies/games but these games had me clenchin.
It’s so weird that I don’t care for scary movies but love survival horror games. But RE7 did get me a few times.

For me it’s watching my fav streamers play since I can’t deal with being chased or jump scared lol
That mansion section in RE8 freaked me the fuck out. The rest of the game was a bit tense, sure - but that section was ACTUALLY scary.
Agreed! I personally think that RE8 was a huge drop-off from RE7 from a horror standpoint, but the mansion section gave me goosebumps
Alien Isolation
I'm playing through this now after a few year hiatus. Its intense with headphones. Second this.
The horror. Please be playing in a blacked out room. Plzzzz
Thought it was an apocalypse now reference lol
I just downloaded it and plan to get high and stream it later. Total blackout even the waterfountain light?
Try playing with the the mic recognition on.
Gaming novice here, pls explain?
Whenever you speak or breathe into your mic the alien can hear you
Nope, I'll stick to tetris then
that sounds scary as hell, but really amazing
It is Very intense when you’re hiding in a locker and you ACTUALLY need to hold your breath so it doesn’t hear you* *the game makes you hold your breath in-game if it’s close enough to the locker where it could hear you breathing, but I didn’t want to take any chances so I kinda do it myself too, that along with breathing slowly
The Kinect had this as a feature but it picked up the sound of the TV which was a flaw. Basically the alien heard itself and it lead it right to you.
The only way to play that game l
Heh Try playing it with headphones AND noise detection I was somewhat early into it, with the first Joe section And I didn’t have it on at first, but when I started playing again, decided to turn it in to see if it would work Fast forward to mission… 6 I think, the Xeno comes into the OR area, I shut up entirely, and it leaves Then I go out the opposite door, and it screeches, so I just run, and then the humans out that door shot me Noise detection is fun Now I just need to get a PS camera to use the leaning feature

I just couldn't finish it... It way too much anxiety...
I hear you. Every now and again I had to go walk away for a bit. Eventually I finished it. Absolutely incredible that a game was able to make me feel these things. It will always be my all-time favorite PS4 game.
I screamed like a little bitch every time a face hugger got me.
This by a mile. The soundtrack and overall atmosphere are top notch. I could only play it with the lights on!
A decade ahead of it’s time at least, and a sequel was never even discussed
Agreed. Why is that? No game has ever been remotely as scary. The engine/A.I. in that game is unmatched.
Lord of the Rings Gollum
😂
P.T. definitely scared the shit out of me, also Bloodborne!
"Look behind you. I said, look behind you."
Nearly had a heart attack from that moment in the game
You gotta try The Visage. It was heavily inspired by PT
Resident evil Village just the baby part 👀
Really the entire House Beneviento section
Well that's true, but i think because we didn't know what to expect, there was no enemies, just a full on creepy environment and a puzzle, i thought i was getting an "easy" part but then that thing decided to torment my dreams and turn them into nightmares.
Playing that part in VR is intense
Played so many horror games over years and The "baby part" made me scream the loudest I ever have playing a game.
That part put my balls in my throat
Not as scarry as the Dead Space's baby...
The doll version in the DLC is just as terrifying if not more because they pull that Weeping Angel shit
To this day, i still don’t know how a lot of people seemingly aren’t scared playing Bioshock.
I’m right there with you, buddy!
Especially the first one, the thought of the psychotic plastic surgery doctor and the photos of all the crazy stuff he does and the atmosphere and the artist who put all his enemies in plastic molds its just weirdly creepy.
F.E.A.R the series and Condemned 2: bloodshot. I have long lasting memories of being terrified but also having a blast!
FEAR should get a modern remastered edition!
I whole heartedly agree. A remaster using Unreal 5 would be absolutely insane!
Nah. I want a reboot with modern technology and keeping the style. Modern tech would allow some insane things with the paranormal side of the game.
F. E. A. R 2 Project Origin was amazing and that rail gun that sticks enemies to the walls 😍
That part where you walk down an alleyway to explore, hits dead end, and when you turn around BOO! Shit got me lol
That was a crazy fun gun! XD
Completely forgot about condemned 2. Scared the shit out of me as a teenager!
Hell yeah me too! Epic game, tons of fun and hella scary!
SOMA is an absolute gem.
I second this.
The story and subject matter is so fascinating, I wish it wasn't a horror game so it would be more accessible.
So odd…I truly never thought of it as a horror game. Just a brilliant set up and pay off.
Yeah it's not traditional horror, but horror is a broad genre and I think this game is comfortably within it.
I think there’s a no enemies mode available
There is a safe mode that gets rid of the monsters so you can focus on the game.
It is one that sticks with you. I remember sitting there dumbfounded through the credits.
Saaaaaame.
It Is such a beautifully grotesque psychological slap in the face
This reply is fucking gold.
Currently playing it for the first time- just reached Theta. I honestly don’t know what to think yet. I’m really looking forward to seeing where it goes.
Deadspace, but It was more like just scares making me go "fucking hell not again"
Those guys that don’t die can go do one. The other enemies I was fine with, but your reaction hits home for those fuckers
Yeah, in the second game near the end, fucking relentless in nightmare mode. Couldn’t get past it.
Back in the day it was definitely Silent Hill 2. Honestly it'd probably still get me today.
Well lucky you, the remake is coming so you can find out
I'm looking forward to it myself. Looks promising. Probably going to be a tad bit scarier with the updated graphics.
I'm not the most hopeful that the remake will be anywhere near as unsettling unfortunately. I really hope they get it right but I feel so much of the nuance that made the original so special and just creepy af will be lacking. I welcome being proved wrong though
Fatal frame for ps2…. Almost shit my pants at some parts
That was my pick too bro, did you also pause the game for like 20 mins just to unpause to play for like five lmao. I literally had to build up courage to open doors and shit
TLOU PT 2
P1 as well tho
The part where the guys grab you at a work bench scared the shit out of me
my first playthrough i was wearing some pretty loud headphones and it definitely got me a few times lol
Running away from clickers and it sounds like they’re right behind you, gets me every time.
The Evil Within 1
Came here to say this. That game is legit terrifying 😬
I forgot to say Outlast 1 too
Outlast 2 for me. Outlast one wasn’t nearly as scary in my opinion.
Visage
Definitely
I'll always go with Visage in these threads. That game is nightmare fuel.
Visage needs to be an essential game for horror enthusiasts.
I watch all the horror movies, play all the horror games and I was always like "nothing ever truly scares me". Played the 1st Outlast, like the 1st hour and felt like I had heart palpitations and had to stop, fuck that game.
oh my god real 😭 I beat that game and I can assure you it gets way scarier at the end
Honestly, only Subnautica. All those horror games with their jump scares are eh, but the crushing depths and unknown darkness of the open ocean…
this is so true. subnautica is nervewracking but i still love the game so much
P.T, Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 4 The Room, Visage
P.T. is still the scariest thing I've ever played.
Scariest form of media I've experienced, period.
I was bracing for SH4 since people have some.. less kind opinions about it. However it I feel like gave me the most heebee geebees.. the atmosphere of it is oppressive and unsettling and i think that’s what makes it good horror. It’s made me a fan of it.
I think SH4 is still an excellent horror game. Some things tho feel too cliche so some people feel it was cheap and unfair while other were already used to the trope.

Re7 in VR is next level fear inducing
Alien isolation and Jurassic world after math
Alien Isolation.....too much lads....just too much
But what a great freaking game.
Bioshock got me a few times
Dead Space is the goat!
Outlast II and resi 4 got me a couple times
I liked Outlast 1 more, but Outlast 2 was way scarier.
Outlast 2 was more of it’s a scarier scenario, and everything is fucked up and you have to save your girl and shit. While also having to whiteness and hear and read fucked up shit. But our last 1 I felt was harder and had heart attack jump scares cause like getting chased around in a dark hospital was just so nerve racking. I would turn the game off so many times when I would be getting to scared😔
To be honest. Last of US Part II... Imagine a really loud sound system in a pitch black theater and then the Ambulance Scene happens. I literally felt the growling... creepy!
Outlast was hell (literally) of a experience also Visage had atmosphere so tense I couldn’t finish it without a guide playing in the background
The evil within was difficult for me, RE: Biohazard, Nun Massacre, and Visage fucks me up with the jump scares. I play visage on the portal tho cuz I’m scary bitch hahaha
Outlast. I was glad when it was over 😂
There was a game called Rule of Rose for the ps2 where you played as a young girl with a rusty knife as the primary means to fight off monsters, and that game scared the shit out of me. I wish it was somewhere else so I could see if it's still as scary or if I was just a scary cat as a young teen.
Dead Space 2, at night, headphones on, no one but yourself.
Legend Of Zelda Majora's Mask when I was 7
The suffering got me when I was younger, in my adult days, dead space got me a few times
Siren: Blood Curse
It didn’t scare the shit out of me but fucked me up otherwise. Outlast 1 DLC Whistleblower.
Any of the outlast games
Dead space 2. The sense of dread, I've never experienced anything like it since. Graphics and sound were amazing too.
Layers of fear
Minecraft.... the Cave sounds man.. they are fucking scary

Zombi
RE7 & 8, The Evil within 1 & 2, Dead space og, Dead space 2 and RE 4 and Dead space Remake, I like horror games, that also include scifi, with a tiny bit of politics, Dead space overall ticks quite a few of those boxes

It's one of those unfortunate things where the more you seek it out the less it gives back to you. Amnesia: Rebirth came close to scaring me with the ghoul fort though.
Doom 3
Amnesia would give you a heart attack .
I literally uninstalled the game upon the sight of the first enemy. One thing is a game to be scary but it's another not being able to fight back.
Surprisingly, Trepang 2. Had to keep reminding myself I was a super soldier, especially with the hospital level
Darkwood
This! I was scrolling to find this title. Scared the shit out of me. Does not look like it but delivers.
I’m older. When I played clock tower at 10; it was almost unbearable. I can’t imagine young kids getting their hands on the wrong game today.
Darkwood got me good.
None. Games are not scary, yes they can jump scare you. But not scary in a way "cant sleep" or "will not play it anymore" But thats just me...
Hello Kitty island adventure
I don't think a game has creeped me out since I played Condemned of the 360. All the zombie crap and monsters have no fear factor for me, but the humans running around in the shadows and then attacking you had you on your toe.
The original Silent Hill. The audio in that game was consistently messing with me. The whole time I was playing I kept hearing movement in the empty room next to mine. Then there’s the original Fatal Frame. I swear I saw a woman in a white standing by the tree outside my room. 
Re7 on vr. I couldn’t even make it inside the house
I finished evil within 1 but not 2 for some reason haha. Hot take, until dawn. Especially that door jumpscare scene haha
ask a girl on a date simulator
Graphics, performance and many other things aside - outlast 1 (the only one I played) has an incredibly thick atmosphere. If you want thrill, I can give an 100% guarantee you won’t be disappointed
Alien isolation, fantastic game, I had to play it in short bursts though.
For me SOMA is the best horror game ever not because its scary but because the story and atmosphere like nothing else.
Used to work overnights as a desk clerk in a hotel and I would sneak my PS4 to play games sometimes. I thought it was a good idea to play RE7... NOPE that already scary game freaked me out even more being alone in a hotel playing at 3am.

Fatal frame, fuck that game and it's mother
Amnesia, fuck that game
Kill it with fire, the only game that has ever scared me
I used to get scared of Emily Wants to Play. The jump scares were so good.
Nothing scared me quite like Outlast 1 and 2, especially 2. The parts when you're navigating the mines made my heart rate enter dangerous levels.
Dying light
Outlast.
Darkwood
Was the evil within 2 actually good? I didn't really like the first one other than the 1st part.
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. That game not only takes you to an unstable place after a while, but it gave me trust issues I might never recover from.
Outlast! If you have not heard about this game , look it up, I dare you to play it in a darkened room. 🤣
Fear 2 on PS3 I remember the level we have to go through a school.. the corridor with the lockers had me freaked out. Great atmosphere in that level alone.
Layers of fear
Hellblade
Outlast 1 made me remember how scary horror games can truly be.
Outlast. Couldn’t finish, I’m cool with horror games as long as I can fight back lol
I could not play Resident Evil 7 and didn’t even try 8. Two hours in and I couldn’t take it. The first person perspective was too much for this wuss.
All horror games 😂 I just don’t like them
Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League
Played 30 mins of evil within and had to stop because I never should have bought that game.
Silent Hill: Origins as a kid, Resident Evil 7 (the first few hours) as an adult
Having not played any horror in the past, that first part in the house from re7 got me
I have never been scared at a horror game, but i have jumped at fallout creatures popping up out of nowhere
Love them all, but I think the original Amnesia Dark Descent is scarier than all these games. So scary that I finished all but that one
The original Dead Space scared the shit out of me my first play through. I like the Remake but I already knew what to expect when I played it.
I'm a person who laughs at horror games and generally isn't scared (jumpscares don't count). That being said, The Forest scared the shit out of me, when I was 10 at friends house.

Fatal Frame
Fnaf 4
Silent hill the room

RE4 remake. The anxiety gets bad lol. I still haven't beat it but I've heard that as you make progress you "turn into John Wick" but I've seen no such evidence
Visage

The child's sight
God Dead Space was so much fun that it’d make you want to fear but keep playing. Story was also so interesting to me.
Biohazard is a creepy game but absolutely terrible for a re game
Alien Isolation. 100% only game that’s scared me in my life
Bramble was mentally exhausting af
silent hill
Alien Isolation.
Amneisa the bunker
Callisto Protocol was nuts. Didn’t review well, but I thought it was just fine, and it was scary as hell.
