Hi Dark,
Very true. I've been thinking of some horror type games for a long
time, perhaps something like Silent Hill, but I don't have the
finances to create a truly horrifying audio experience. Just something
as changing the sounds of the footsteps from a slosh to a sticky slush

Hey, Charles.
I was thinking about when I first joined the list a few years ago.
Someone had mention that Treasure hunt was kinda a horror game.
I remember I was asking about scary games and I had got a list of
different games.
Some of the games was Descent into Madness and of course Shades of
Hi Tom.
That's an interesting point, suspense and actual fear are two different
things.
I love the moetion trackers in the alien films. just going along the dark
corridor watching the pulses of light with the tick tick tick and hearing

Hi Dark,
I suspect Halloween here in the States is more or less the same as in
the U.K. During the month of October Halloween is pretty much a
holiday where kids dress up in cheap costumes and go around the
neighbor hood asking for sweets or candy. Movie channels like American
movie Classics plays
Hi Dark,
I can sort of relate to that in a way. When I was a kid a lot of
movies that were rated R, were suppose to be too scary for kids,
weren't. I watched most of the horror thrillers by the time I was 10
and most of them didn't even effect me. I think a lot of it is I knew
that it was all fake
Hi Tom.
Well even in the horror genre there is such a wide amount of what a person
finds scary and how various elements are combined. For example, you mention
the nightmare on elmstreet series as slasher. Yes, they are about a killer
with a glove with knives on the fingers who likes slashing u
Well I'm afraid I'm a little uncertain what you mean by "halloween games"
there charles, or how Shades is not one.
This could of course just be cultural since I suspect haloween is more a
major thing in the Us than it is over here, usually here it's confined
to tv, the odd themed party or

Hi Charles,
Well, I think the reason you are having troubles defining what is and
is not a Halloween game per say is because as a genre it is rather
broad just like the horror genre itself is rather broad. Horror can
contain elements of science fiction, fantasy, and often has neither of
those.
To
House table in ESP Pinball Classic would certainly qualify,
though.

No, shades is not set on haloween, however neither is any other game as far
as I know. If you mean Shades is sf horror rather than having ghosts and
vampires and other supernatural creatures, well neither does Swamp or

Hi Dark,
Agreed. I wouldn't consider a mad scientist as being particularly an
indicator of a game being a Halloween and horror game on that basis
alone. There has to be something more to it such as monsters, evil
creations, or other aspects that makes it a part of the Halloween and
horror genre.
Hi Charles,
Perhaps not, but Shades of Doom has a bit of a science fiction and
horror type theme to it. There are a number of enemies that might be
considered Halloween monsters such as the blobs which are from the
movies like the Blob and Son of Blob respectively. The mutant rats,
cyborgs, mutant
I Agree charlse, a mad scientist is not particularly creepy on it's own,
Monkey Business is certainly not! a halloween game just for the presance of
Dr. wobble, (even his name is a little silly). That being said, I would
still count Shades as a halloween game because of the generally scary

Hey, Charles.
The reason I would call it a Halloween game is because you are going after
a mad scientist.
In some of the old classic movies they had people that was mad scientists

Hi Michael,
Well, to be honest I have not played the games you mentioned so they
readily wouldn't come to mind. I don't have an iPhone, for example, so
the Night Jar and Papasangre would not occur to me right away. I have
played Night of Para cite before, but didn't like it and basically
forgot ab
