From Haunted Houses to Zombies: The Most Frightening Scary Horror Games

Do you enjoy the adrenaline rush of being scared out of your wits? Are you a fan of horror movies and looking for a new way to experience fear? Look no further. In this article, we will explore some of the most terrifying scary horror games that will leave you trembling with fear. From haunted houses to zombies, these games will push your limits and keep you on the edge of your seat.

Haunted Houses: A Classic Thrill

If you’re a fan of haunted houses, then horror games that feature eerie mansions or abandoned buildings are sure to provide an exhilarating experience. One such game that comes to mind is “Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.” Set in a dilapidated plantation house in rural Louisiana, this game combines atmospheric horror with intense gameplay. As you navigate through dark corridors and solve puzzles, you’ll encounter grotesque creatures and terrifying jump scares that will keep your heart pounding.

Another notable haunted house game is “Amnesia: The Dark Descent.” In this first-person survival horror game, players find themselves trapped inside an ancient castle with no memory of how they got there. With limited resources and a lurking presence that feeds on fear, this game is guaranteed to make even the bravest players feel vulnerable and terrified.

Zombies: A Never-Ending Nightmare

Zombies have been a staple in horror culture for decades, and scary horror games featuring these undead creatures are always popular among thrill-seekers. One standout title in this genre is “The Last of Us.” Set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by infected humans turned into zombies, this action-adventure game blends intense combat with an emotionally gripping storyline. The realistic graphics and immersive gameplay make every encounter with the infected a heart-pounding experience.

For those seeking a more intense zombie experience, “Resident Evil 2” is a must-play. This remake of the classic survival horror game takes players back to Raccoon City, where a zombie outbreak has turned the population into flesh-eating monsters. With its atmospheric setting and relentless undead enemies, this game will keep you on your toes as you fight for survival.

Psychological Horror: A Mind-Bending Challenge

If you prefer horror games that mess with your mind, then psychological horror games are perfect for you. “Silent Hill 2” is often regarded as one of the best examples of this subgenre. As players control James Sunderland through the foggy town of Silent Hill, they unravel a deeply disturbing story filled with symbolism and psychological torment. The game’s haunting atmosphere and psychological twists will leave you questioning reality long after you’ve put down the controller.

Another mind-bending horror experience is “Layers of Fear.” In this first-person exploration game, players step into the shoes of a disturbed painter as they navigate through a constantly changing mansion. Delving into themes of madness and obsession, this game uses clever storytelling and visual trickery to create an unsettling experience that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Survival Horror: Fight or Flight

For those who enjoy intense gameplay and heart-pounding action, survival horror games provide an adrenaline-fueled experience like no other. “Outlast” is a prime example of this genre. Armed only with a camcorder, players must navigate through an abandoned psychiatric hospital filled with deranged inmates. With no means to defend yourself other than hiding or running away, every encounter becomes a tense battle for survival.

Another standout survival horror game is “Alien: Isolation.” Set fifteen years after the events of Ridley Scott’s iconic film “Alien,” players assume the role of Ellen Ripley’s daughter as she tries to survive aboard a space station infested by one relentless xenomorph. The game’s AI-driven alien enemy constantly adapts to the player’s actions, making every encounter a nerve-wracking game of cat-and-mouse.

In conclusion, if you’re a fan of being scared senseless, these scary horror games will provide an unforgettable experience. Whether you prefer haunted houses, zombies, psychological torment, or survival challenges, there is a game out there that will cater to your darkest fears. So grab your controller and prepare for a night of terror as you dive into these spine-chilling virtual worlds.

Southern Ohio

Brimstone haunt.

This year, Brimstone Haunt is offering six experiences for guests. Each attraction is rated from one to five skulls depending on its attraction intensity.

Let's start with the scariest attraction: Psychosis, ranked a whopping five out of five skulls. Brimstone Haunt said guests will experience "disturbing scenes of horror."

The second is Forgotten Forest, ranked four out of five skulls. Guests take a walk through the woods, and Brimstone Haunt warns they may not be the same once they escape the forest. 

The third is Zombie Assault, ranked three out of five skulls. As the name suggests, it's an apocalypse with a disease spreading all over the globe. 

The fourth is Haunted Hayride, ranked two out of five skulls. Visitors will take a ride in the fields where "many horrors have been reported."

The last two are both ranked one out of five skulls: Dead Shot Paintball, which allows guests to take their aim at zombies, and Cranium Crusher, in which guests have to use hammers to crush brains back into the zombies.

The Dent School House

This isn't your average school house. The Dent School House is known for its local legend, garnering national attention by guests far and wide. It has also been featured in publications like USA Today and the Travel Channel, being named one of the most haunted attractions in the nation.

The building was once Dent Public School, and lore says it closed after many children went missing between 1942 and 1955. The story says parents stormed the building in anger, and found the children dead in the basement. The janitor was to blame. While there are no records to back this up, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported the school, along with one another, closed in 1949 and the students were moved to another school.

Central Ohio

The ohio state reformatory.

This haunted attraction has quite the backstory. The Ohio State Reformatory was in operation from 1896 to 1990, when it was ordered to close down stemming from prisoners’ class action lawsuit, stating the prison was overcrowded and inmates were housed in inhumane conditions. The prison has witnessed hundreds of deaths, and a riot that involved the death of two prison guards. 

It's also been an attraction for Hollywood, having once been a backdrop for movies like Shawshank Redemption. When it's not offering tours or putting on an event in honor of Shawshank, it transforms into a haunted house filled with zombies, witches and a screaming queen.

They will also meet Dr. Guggenheim, a deranged doctor who knows how to manipulate genes. 

Online general admission: $30

New survey finds Ohio leads nation in the number of Halloween haunts and attractions

There's an old saying that Ohio is the heart of it all.

Turns out it is a tell-tale heart.

It seems when it comes to lovers of demented clowns, monsters, witches and goblins, Ohio leads the nation in Halloween haunts and attractions.

A recent survey of haunts nationwide by The Scare Factor − an Indiana-based haunted house enthusiast group whose members go out and find and rate such attractions all across the country − found that Ohio has more than anyone else.

Tyler and Nora Proffet said they scour the internet and — along with some help of fellow haunt enthusiasts and even owners of haunted houses and attractions — compile a list of what's available to visit in each state.

These destinations can be as elaborate as the Halloween events at Kings Island and Cedar Point with their multiple haunts to over-the-top neighborhood displays like the Haunt on Williams Street in Conneaut.

And when the last ghoul was counted, Tyler said, Ohio topped the nation with 130 haunted destinations, followed by California's 123 and Pennsylvania's 102.

Tyler said Ohio has become a tourist destination for Halloween enthusiasts looking for high-quality scares.

Why are there so many haunted houses in Ohio?

Ohio has a rich history of haunted houses.

Some of the longest continuously running haunts in the country are located in the state.

The venerable Akron Haunted Schoolhouse is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and not far away the Hudson Haunted House has been raising money for the Jaycees there for some 53 odd years.

USA Today picks: Embrace the spooky season at these top spots for Halloween fun

Tyler Proffet said the Midwest has always had a love affair with haunted houses and Ohio has led the pack.

"Ohio just really has a really strong Halloween culture," he said. "Haunted houses are just wildly loved in the Midwest."

And this proliferation of early such haunts in Ohio ultimately led to more and more enthusiasts getting the bug and opening their haunts.

What are the best haunted houses in Ohio?

Everyone has their preferences when it comes to what makes a great haunted house.

But Tyler Proffet said his team of 70 or so enthusiasts who go out and review haunts all over the country have some things that they look for when picking the best ones.

They assign a number grade for everything from the quality and quantity of the actors to special effects to the level of suspense to the scare factor.

Tyler said they even factor in other things like entertainment value and customer service.

Here are the Top 10 haunts in Ohio as ranked by The Scare Factor.

• Face Your Fears Hotel of Terror in Springfield
• Fear Columbus .
• Carnage Haunted House in Columbus
• Factory of Terror in Canton
• Blood Prison in Mansfield
• The Dent Schoolhouse in Cincinnati
• Wells Township Haunted House in Brilliant
• The Haunted Hoochie in Pataskala
• The Haunted Hydro in Freemont
• Akron Haunted Schoolhouse

What's new at Ohio haunted houses?

The dynamic pricing that started a few years ago is continuing and spreading to haunts across the state.

The busier the night and the closer to Halloween you get, the prices at many haunts are more expensive. A number of haunts are either requiring or encouraging advance reservations.

Another growing trend in Ohio is to add things to keep the customer entertained not only inside of the haunt but afterward too.

Tyler said more and more haunts are adding everything from bars to food trucks to escape rooms.

"Guests are looking for more things to do at a haunt for an entire night," he said.

More: When is Halloween 2023, and how long has the holiday been celebrated? You'll be surprised.

Like other businesses, Ohio's haunted houses are having to get a bit more creative when it comes to staffing the needed ghosts and goblins.

Tyler said more and more haunts are adding mechanical and animated scares to fill the void left by fewer available workers.

This can be hit and miss, he said, as these scares have be positioned just right to elicit a good scream.

Many haunts have also reconfigured their layouts so actors can jump out from as many as four different hidden spots to scare guests to fill the void left by fewer workers.

Tyler said haunts are also turning to hi-tech gadgetry like lighting and sounds to amp up the creep factor.

A new twist this year that seems to be a growing trend, he said, is the addition of video screen effects and even projection mapping inside of haunts.

But at the end of day, Tyler said, the best scares are the old fashion ones offered by live actors jumping out from the darkness − preferably armed with a chain saw.

"You always have to have a human element in the haunt," he said. "You have to have live actors."
