Zelda: Ocarina of Time had the Gibdos, desiccated corpses that lived in graveyards and dungeons. These days, I actively try to avoid horrible things, but the games that freaked me out formed some of my most vivid childhood memories. Not only are haunting classics such as Silent Hill and Resident Evil getting endless remakes, there’s also an ongoing new wave of indie horror games that do ever more creative things with this medium’s ability to get inside your head. My partner, meanwhile, cannot get enough of disgusting films and terrifying games, so he’s delighted to be living through something of a golden age for video game horror. I was recently so disturbed by a simple bus advert for the movie Smile that I read the Wikipedia summary of the plot, and just that was enough to screw with my sleep. I am one of the world’s biggest wusses, and feeding my imagination with nightmare fuel will keep me up at night for weeks. Halloween might be over, but the scary memories last a lifetime, at least for me.
