Did you ever get one of those chain text messages? You know, the ones that say, “SeNd ThIS 2 !!!FIVE!!! peeple or els u will DIE 2NITE!!!” During my high school years, they became so pervasive that they were more annoying than scary. Horror visual novel The Letter changes all that.

Here’s a horror game that wants to tap into every parent’s worst nightmare: losing a child.
Far Cry 4 can be a very silly game. It's hard to keep a straight face when playing anything with exploding animals launching every which way. But that's not all Far Cry is. Placed in the right hands, the shooter can be downright terrifying.
Every GTA hides secrets—rare and strange occurrences that would be right at home inside an episode of The X-Files. Some of them are scripted. Some aren't. All of them end up logged and documented by players.

The world's tallest water slide is located at the Schlitterbahn water park in Kansas City, and also in my nightmares. It's called Verrückt—which means "insane" in German—with good reason: At 168 feet and 7 inches, it's taller than the Statue of Liberty, Niagara Falls, and 23 Shaquille O'Neals stacked on top of each…

Just in case Gone Home wasn't scary enough already: check out this disturbing rendition of the game's audiologs by Orthogonalus. Jeeze, I dunno that I could handle a whole game like this!
Thinking about bungee jumping into an open air pit cave-like the Cave of Swallows—is already horrific. But this really well-made slow-motion Minecraft animation, recently shared on Animationcraft's YouTube channel, makes the idea a lot scarier.

So, I've made no secret of the fact that I'm a bit of an Animal Crossing addict. The game continues to be a smash hit in Japan. So much so that even now, almost a month after its initial release, most stores are still sold out with only the download version available. Players clock into their villages every day to…
YouTube entertainer PewDiePie likes to record himself doing scary things, like playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent or the Cry of Fear Half-Life 2. His reactions are glorious moments of pure panic. It's like having a surrogate pants-pisser.
Are you ready for Halloween? Have you gotten scared by anything recently? Perhaps a little creeped out that somewhere in the dark corners of your neighborhood, there sits a silent stalker in a white, blank mask, waiting… waiting… waiting for you to be alone?
