Re: What do think is the best medium for horror?

Video games for sure. I think it has something to do with the fact that not only am I immersed in the atmosphere and projected onto the character, but I feel a certain amount of 'responsibility' for what happens to said character.

And I'm not sure exactly how to put it so it'll make sense, so I'll give an example: Jasper's death the first time through Wish House in Silent Hill 4. (I know that game gets a lot of flack, but the atmosphere worked for me.) I remember coming down a staircase and suddenly hearing him screaming, and seeing the cracked-open door with smoke faintly billowing out of it, and I was petrified. It was the fact that I had to go to that door that scared me so much, if that makes sense? That moment before seeing something terrible that I had to see, that I had to force Henry to see. I swear my blood ran cold.
