Re: Formula for horror?
well, I think Clive Barker is a great example of good horror, and what to me, makes his stuff good is that his 'bad guys' all have understandable motives. See, just having a maniac run around is not scary, but somehow being able to relate to him even on the most basic level makes them familiar and 'human'. So add depth and… -
Re: Formula for horror?
I find the real life scenerios more scarier than anything over the top. Situations i could see myself in scare me more than any knife weilding hockey mask wearing demon can. Also less is more. Good example of this is the Ring,part one was scary because the girl was rarely seen as well as her victims on the other hand part… -
Re: Formula for horror?
I think all really effective horror has to have an element of reality, something you can relate to. Slasher flicks like the Saw series, for instance - they have shock value, but it's not the kind of thing that will stay with you after you've left the theater because you can't relate to such an absurd situation.

First time I saw that was late at night, by myself, and never even heard of it before. Instantly got sent straight to my number one spot. As for games, well, thats a different… -
Re: Formula for horror?
Honestly, one of the better examples of unnerving comes yet again from silent hill, especially the second for me, such as hearing the dragging of PH's blade, or the static of the radio. Even better, when you're taking an elevator ride in the radio, and suddenly it picks up a gameshow, asking you questions, directly. Even… -
Re: Formula for horror?
Some great horror examples from games are: 1) 1st level of Doom 3 after you've defeated your first enemy and everyone on your communicator is screaming and dying. 2) F.E.A.R. 1st level when you walk around and then suddenly a picture of skull takes over your screen for a split second. 3) The beginning of Silent Hill games… -
Re: Formula for horror?
Show a film with ET's long poo finger to any five year old and they will freak.... But seriously As regards to horror games I don't find any particularly effective at present. It depends on how the narrative is attached to the gameplay, I agree that silent hill is one of the better examples. Infact bridging away from the…
