Damn... if anything will eventually convince me to give Silent Hill a shot, it's the music.  Deeply emotional and high quality stuff.  I have all the soundtracks and love them to death, even though I've never played the games.

I actually scared the hell out of one of my teachers with a Silent Hill OST clip once, when I was first developing my interactive comic ideas.  I was working on a 3d model for a creature that was going to be in a horror story I had a friend writing for me, who eventually bailed.  To demonstrate the direction I was going, I had made an interactive character sheet for the creature and put one of Silent Hill's most subtle ambient tracks in the program at a very low volume.  It was just some very quiet and slow synth stuff that slowly degraded into a series of periodic nail-on-chalkboard scratching noises.  I set it to start playing at a very low volume in the background after a certain period of time, and very slowly and subtly get louder until it would be obvious just as the scratching noises began.  He had already looked at everything on the sheet by that point and just left it running while we talked about the project, when I could tell he was starting to get really uncomfortable and just not saying anything.  Finally he was like "Do you hear that noise?! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!", and he confessed that he thought the music and noises were all in his head at first.  I was so proud of myself

Reminds me how much I need to do an interactive horror comic...

 Damn it horror mods! Always being more twisted and disturbing than games made by major companies.

Just watched The Thing. Excellent movie, although it took me until about halfway through it to stop thinking "Diabeetus"/"You could qualify for a free meter" every time Dr. Blair showed himself.

Most (recent) horror movies that I hear of tend to be

The Human explodes into gore! x100

While you know precisely who's murdering who, and the characters on-screen are pitifully clueless. The Thing leaves the viewer uncertain as well, to great effect.

Yeah, most horror movies suck. Even the non-gibs ones.


For instance, despite their hype, I found both "The Others" and (particularily) "The Orphanage" to suck.

Horrifying necromancy!

Figured it was better to ask here than make a new thread. Can anybody recommend me some horror manga on par with Junji Ito? I've already bought/read everything of his that's available in english.

I tried looking into Kazuo Umezu's stuff, but Drifting Classroom appears to be near impossible to find. I did, however, get my hands on some scanslations of "Fourteen". And...well. That was a seriously messed-up chicken-headed brainwreck, and disturbing on a variety levels, but not really what I'd call good horror. I get that it was going for surreal horror, but between the sheer goofy stupidity and bizarre leaps of logic of the characters and the often...well, bad art it was just really...strange...
Also the

sudden unexpected addition of huge amounts of violent sexual content 4/5ths of the way through the so-far-pretty-PG series

pretty much made me give up on it. Whatever. Bleh.

But anyway, I guess I'm really hoping there's some other horror stuff out there with Junji Ito style quality art and modern-day-real-world vibe?

While this might not be horrific for the viewer, it is absolutely horrific for the person playing the game itself.

A good month for necroing this thread, I think. Thanks though. :3 I rarely look in GD so I never would have found it otherwise and therefore never have read The Enigma of Amigara Fault. Quite creepy. I'm also happy to discover that apparently I'm not the only person around here who's ever played / enjoyed Clock Tower. ^^^ If people are still looking for game suggestions, if you have a Dreamcast I'd recommend finding a copy of Illbleed. It tends to swerve wildly between funny, creepy, scary, and "WTF is even going on here?" but it's quite enjoyable, if a little clunky.

This month, I plan to play Yume Nikki and find the fabled entity that is known as "Uboa".

Neat.  A creepypasta wiki.

Anybody know any good ones?

Spoiler: Of all that I've read, this short and simple one has stuck with me the most (click to show/hide)

One day, a man on a business trip checked into his motel. The receptionist was nice enough when she told him that his room was number 14, but suddenly got very serious. Deadly serious. She told the man to not go in room 13. The man, now baffled, agreed and went to his room.
On his way to his room, curiosity overwhelmed him and he decided to look through the keyhole in the door of room 13. After all, there wasn't any harm, he figured. When he looked through, all he saw was the back of woman with pale white skin. The man decided that was enough and went to his room.
The next day, as he went to check out, he decided to look through the keyhole again. This time, all he saw was red. He assumed she had seen him and put something red over the hole, so he walked away. This decision saved his life.

When he got to the desk, the woman behind it saw the look on his face, and said "you looked through the keyhole, didn't you?"

He nodded. She sighed and said "That room is haunted, one day a man and his wife checked into that room, and the man murdered the wife. But there was something different about these people: they were white all over except for their eyes, because their eyes were completely red."

Hrm, I never liked that one. Found it to be bland.

This one was decent, IMO: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/In_the_Mirror

This one is among my all-time favorites: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Bad_Dream

This one is nice too: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Hands
