The Best Video Games For Horror Movie Fans

Over the past twenty-five years, horror games have grown to become a staple of the video game industry. From survival horror games like Resident Evil to the Lovecraftian terrors of FromSoftware’s Bloodborne , horror permeates video games across multiple genres. But players need not have played every single Silent Hill title since 1999 to get in the game - there are many horror games accessible to even the least experienced gamer, many of which share traits with the flagship horror films fans genre fans know and l


At first glance, the Dead Dawg Saloon looks nothing more sinister than a yeehaw-ing ghost town. And that's exactly what it will look like to everyone unless they stumble upon rooms they shouldn't be


Both Oni and Spirit share the same realm and time-space in their lore. What relations or history they have together is unknown. Most people enjoy Japanese myths and culture, so it's interesting to see these Japanese-style paintings around the map. It begs the question of who was praying to an


The Solstice Devotee outfit makes it discernible if it's man or woman, human or beast. Fresh flesh hangs from the creature's antlers and bones of many are adorned. What makes this outfit the most disturbing is the flesh and gory aspect. At first, she was just wearing a Halloween rabbit mask, but now she's wearing a full-on carc


Similar to Cabin in the Woods , what starts off as a basic slasher premise soon expands into a much bigger story with supernatural undertones, one which is sure to please horror fans across the board. Until Dawn also features a bonus offering for movie fans in its cast of recognizable voice and motion capture performers, which includes Jordan Fisher, Hayden Panettiere, and Academy Award winner Rami Ma


The Nurse's Miss Smithson makes the top two because at the end of the day what most people are genuinely afraid of at night is a creepy lady in a dress. The trope is in various horror films and have been fed to the public since scary movies have exis


Spooky season has officially arrived. All around the country, horror fans are curling up with their favorite scary movies as they dig into their third box of Halloween candy. But with the COVID-19 pandemic still requiring people to stay home, many have already exhausted that list of movies – and, let’s face it, that’s probably their fourth or fifth box of candy. But fear not, boils and ghouls: horror movies aren’t the only way to get into the spooky spirit this sea


Out of all the Killers the Nightmare is the quietest breather. Even Learn Alot more interesting is that his breathing is so quiet it puts him on par with most survivors . This makes it very difficult for survivors to track him by his breath alone and makes him much stealth


A small detail back in Autohaven Wrecker's - Gas Heaven is the special number "666" lined up on one of the gas pumps at the main building. It's such a small detail that a majority of the fan base would pass by, but it's th


The spiritual successor to another critically-acclaimed horror game, Limbo , Playdead’s Inside defies categorization. Part psychological thriller, part dystopian nightmare, part honestly-who-knows, the puzzle-platformer starts off very Nineteen Eighty-Four and ends up somewhere between Craven and Cronenberg. Players assume the role of a young nameless boy as he attempts to escape a dystopian society, the true nature of which is slowly revealed (though never definitively explained) over the course of the g


Teen-skewing horror films like Scream and Halloween are a staple of the genre, and Until Dawn offers the perfect video game homage. Essentially Cabin in the Woods as a video game, Until Dawn follows a group of friends as they revisit the remote cabin where two of their group went missing the previous year. The night soon becomes a nightmare, and every little decision counts as the player assumes the role of each of the eight characters as they attempt to survive until morn


Except with Mud Medusa, The Hag appears as if she's risen from the fiery depths of Hell herself as the devil's personal hitman send on a mission. The firey glow within her body makes it feel as though something secret cannot be contai


A good amount of normal people have a fear of the doctors office or even the dentist. That diagnosis you're afraid to hear or those teeth you're afraid to have pulled? The Doctor can help with that. His laughs and shock waves are eerie enough, but it's always been The Doctor's face that takes the scary-c


That exact same kill is how the Nightmare carries out his Momento Mori in the game. It’s unclear why the developers chose that death as opposed to a death from 2010, but it’s a nice call back to the classical Fre

Various perks bestow Haste on the player, including Lithe (which gives a temporary boost to sprint speed after a rushed vault) and Sprint Burst (a momentary super-fast dash for up to three seconds). The thing to be aware of is that Haste tends to inflict the Exhausted Status Effect on the user afterwards, which can be very dangerous (more on that lat
