	The 10 Scariest Games of All time
		Horror is the psychological terror of Stephen King and the gruesome carnage of Clive Barker.
		A good horror film is the equivalent of a two-hour roller coaster ride; a good horror game must whisper for your return to the monitor, regardless of the time of day.
		The Lurking Horror was the first of many computer games to be loosely built around Lovecraftian themes (Shadow of the Comet and, of course, Alone in the Dark being two other notable examples).

	Anchorhead review
		There's a certain skill to writing horror fiction: the author has to know how to build suspense in such a way that the story is interesting throughout.
		Part of the reason is that the story revolves around the relationship between the PC and her husband, which comes alive as much as any relationship between two IF characters in memory--and much of the progress of the story is marked by changes in that relationship.
		Horror writing can easily lose its force over the course of a story; the author has to strain to come up with fresh grotesqueries that shock or terrify in new and different ways.

	Lurking Horror Review - Adventure Lantern
		The Lurking Horror is a very good game, which uses a mature, though still quite limited, version of the Infocom parser, and manages to infuse the player with an (admittedly false) sense of true freedom.
		Mind you, and that’s one of my minor Lurking Horror gripes, that at times it’s just not clear what you’re supposed to be doing.
		The game’s box is an impressive and very physical beginning in your immersion in the world of Lurking horror (you even get a disgusting little red plastic bug-worm hybrid), which will only intensify when you read some excellent prose that is dramatically connected to very well thought-of sounds, eerie chants, screeches and unexpected bangs.

	Lurking Horror, The download @ Game Downloads

	William P. Robertson's LURKING IN PENNSYLVANIA book review
		Three decades is a long time to wait for a book, but Bill Robertson has finally collected all his stories together, added some poems and decorated it all with his own photographs.
		In his introduction he writes: “I’ve lived most of my life amidst the wild beauty of rural northwest Pennsylvania where hillsides choked with oak and hemlock create bleak tableaux that adversely affect one’s psyche”.
		The seventeen short stories in this book were written in a horror tradition that has almost disappeared these days.

	Obscure - GameCritics.com
		As a fan of horror films (the intelligent kind, not those that just equate enormity with buckets of tomato-sauce gore) I am often let down by the lack of decent videogames that are actually scary.
		It seems, the survival horror ilk in particular are not that frightening, usually because they overload the game with slow moving zombies that pose no real threat to a player.
		However, a class of horror film that has come increasingly to the fore in the past decade, with the likes of the Scream films and their many contemporaries, is the teen horror.

	Obscure - ESCMag Review
		Horror has long been a staple of gaming, from early masterpieces like Infocom's The Lurking Horror (plus weaker fare like Crypt of Media for Apple II and the Friday the 13th / Nightmare on Elm Street adaptations for C64) to the recent Resident Evil and Silent Hill installments.
		That last genre, the teen horror film, was rescued by the ironic Scream series and has since wandered back into play-it-serious territory.
		I can heartily recommend this one to horror fans, in the hopes that Hydravision creates a sequel (come on, every horror title has to have at least one sequel) that's actually feature length.

	Lovecraftian horror - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lovecraftian horror is a sub-genre of horror which emphasizes the psychological horror of the unknown (in some cases, unknowable) over gore or other elements of shock, which may still be present.
		The "horror" features of Lovecraft's stories tend to involve semi-gelatinous substances, such as slime, as opposed to standard horror tropes such as blood, bones, or corpses.
		With the advent of film, Lovecraftian horror truly became a sub-genre, fueling not only direct adaptations of Poe and Lovecraft, but providing the foundation upon which many of the horror films of the 1950s and 1960s were constructed.

	Survival horror game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Survival horror is a prominent video game genre in which the player has to survive an onslaught of opponents, often undead or otherwise supernatural, typically in claustrophobic environments in a third-person perspective.
		Survival horror is possibly the only video game genre that is defined primarily by theme rather than gameplay style.
		Although the survival horror genre was popularized by Resident Evil, it was heavily influenced by earlier works such as Alone in the Dark, Sweet Home and Clock Tower: The First Fear (1995).

		Discussions of the themes involved in Lurking Horror are encouraged, as are player group discussions and roleplay.
		The Lurking Horror is as much a journey into the darker side of history as it is a source of immersive entertainment - history to me is far more rich a source of horror than any b-movie director's imagination.
		As stated above there are dark and disturbing elements to Lurking Horror and this also reflects in the educational aspects of the game.

		Horror games are bad for your nerves, but when you also have to deal with conserving ammo and deal with a twisted world when you're all alone..
		I never got the same feeling out of the Resident Evil series, for instance, and I find it surprising they're considered by many to be the highest expression of the genre.

		In this tense, fog-shrouded, follow-cam horror adventure, players take the role of regular-joe character Harry Mason, searching for his seven-year-old daughter Cheryl after their vehicle crashes near the snow-shrouded, deserted streets of mountain resort town Silent Hill.
		It may take some gamers a few minutes to recognize the first time that their reality is being dicked around with, but it doesn't come off as cheap or unfair---it comes off as disturbing and evil.
		Surrounded by more zombies and other aberrant horrors than ever before (thanks to the power of the Dreamcast), you'll make your way through a cinematic and gameplay tour-de-force with camera work that would have made Stanley Kubrick nod his head in approval.

		Thus you begin the story, unaware that anything may be wrong beneath or within the veneer of the quiet campus.
		The game is based on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, a famous horror author who scares his readers not through gore but by building the suspense and atmosphere to such an extent that the reader becomes engrossed in the story.
