    If you want a few ideas, you can check out the Sh!tstorm of Scariness playlist(s) by Matt and Pat (back when they were still funny).

    I have a severe love of Japanese metal. That solo, oooh! :o
    Your icon isn't helping but whenever I heard that type of singing I think of Maximum the Hormone (loved that song Bikini Sports Ponchin, the only one I other than Zetsubou Billy).

    I really liked Until Dawn but I 100% agree about Layers of Fear. I had it for ages but I waited until it was finished to play it.

    Oh I enjoyed Until Dawn but can't help but shake the feeling that it was a fluke. I mean if it was a film it would be a god awful film but the interactive elements make it more than a sum of its parts and it has a campy bad horror movie vibe which is great... Although I think it's not what the developers intended.

    this looks decent but I might wait till it is cheaper
    It's basically Lemmings but you control Zombies instead and some of the humans can fight back

    I think it's something I'd play sometime, I wonder if Previously Recorded play something like that. Maybe it's just the idea of mash up old game with zombies, they did play an Oregon
    Trail type zombie game.

    Yeah, Zombie Night Terror is one I've had my eye on for a while, think I mentioned it on my indie games thread in the PC forum a while back. Which, if we're talking about indie games, then something that's not quite horror, but brings a seriously interesting and unique world and mythos with it, is Sunless Sea. Must get back into that game, it's quite atmospheric and unsettling. It's eerie in a way that I've rarely seen in gaming.

    Hopefully it's not just me that played Siren but I found this old post through my Facebook
    Camera crew visits the abandoned town that inspired Japanese survival horror game “Siren”
    Even if you're not a fan I think it's wonderfully eerie :)

    They might be old but there's a couple of PC classics that I always thought were right up there with the best horror games to come out anywhere.

    Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfQ-Xqt-d0A


    And Clive Barker's Undying, which gets extra-points for being set in Ireland.

    Wow this is a great idea I've never actually thought of doing it.

    Think I'll start play soma and alien isolation and then maybe the dead space games.

    This of course will be in addition to watching the usual horror films Friday the 13th, Halloween etc..

    I played Year Walk recently and would recommend that. Its a puzzle game ostensibly, only about 90 minutes long, and has a really creepy atmosphere/aesthetic based on Swedish folklore.

    I played on Wii U but its also available on Steam and mobile devices. Best played with the companion app, which is what the Gamepad on Wii U is used for.

    Not my own idea of course, someone else had done it and I joined in and used to post about it on my blog. Unfortunately it wasn't any way interactive so I didn't do it last year and for this year is start a thread here and share their idea.

    I played a bit of Soma in a friend's place and we actually finished it in a night. I missed some bits but it was enjoyable, I didn't find it very scary, more kinda thriller but that's just imo. I'd like to play Alien Isolation again.

    Speaking of movies, talking about the Shinning (jkjk) last night was getting in the mood! Lol. Monster Madness starts again, it's the last one this year.

    I'll definitely give that a try when I get a Wii U, I need one to play Fatal Frame V anyway. Tried to play it bit I found the main theme a bit overwhelming. I think I could only play it in bits not like the other Fatal Frames.

    Good excuse for me to play Soma and Alien Isolation. Although for sheer edge of the seat stuff I've started playing Dark Souls for the first time a few days ago!

    Theresia on the DS came in the post today :)https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theresia
    I played a bit before and enjoyed it, found it a bit scary and kinda tough.

    Oh god... Undying... That thing still haunts me since I played it as a kid. It was masterpiece in horror games. Specially the mansion. Amazing game.

    I talked to my missis and she agreed to be next to me while I play Silent hill 2 and 3. I havent finished it last october, this time around I want to finish it, but I got her next to me lol. And she is the most easily scared person ever lol.

    I got the original PS2 discs and my phat ps3. I heard hd remakes were a bit ****.

    HD remake is dire. Stick to the PS2 original.

    Bring tissues for the ending.

    Just got my Wii U today so I'll have a chance to play Fatal Frame V now, woo-hoo! Charging my PSP to play Corpse Party, changing my Vita to EU is too much of a pain in the arse.
