We created a genre keyword called "Horror" a while ago in MobyGames. So unless
I'm mistaken, you're just describing any game with a horror element. Waxworks
is 1st-person adventure horror; Aliens I wouldn't classify as horror at all;
The Legacy (which I thought was a horrible game, BTW) is 1st-person adventure
RPG horror; Alone in the Dark is 3rd-person adventure action horror; etc.
