Me and my partner never really watched any horror movies, and now, when nearing our 40's, we've been watching at least one classic every day. So far the best have been Scream, Color Out of Space and Aliens. So many to watch still before the month ends.

Scream was very funny and scary.

Have you seen The Ring?

Not yet. The next two movies are going to be Evil Dead and It Follows, maybe after?

Might I encourage you to watch the scariest game never made? Or maybe a newer cult favorite? Its my opinion that first person game horror has surpassed film horror, if only because it requires you to be invested in surviving.

Film horror and game horror can both be compared to a roller coaster.

With film horror you ride the coaster and everything flows exactly as intended by the creator, it starts up, it climbs slowly, and drops accordingly to a set time. It’s beautiful, it works and everyone loves roller coasters.

With game horror, you have start it up, you make it climb slowly, and you push yourself past the drop. And all that metaphorical mumbo jumbo doesn’t even account for the survival aspect involved in most horror games, which often involve intense jump scares.
