Horror is a popular genre in games, so for Halloween, let's take a look at the various techniques classic horror games have employed to make them so effective. We'll be looking at Resident Evil, Silent Hill 2, Fatal Frame 2, Dead Space and Amnesia: The Dark Descent and see how they each bring their own brand of horror to the table.
