Clock Tower I didn't come to the US. Clock Tower 2 and 3 did, however. Clock Tower 2 was renamed Clock Tower, the spin-off game was renamed to Clock Tower 2, and Clock Tower 3 stayed, well, Clock Tower 3. The true first game in the series eventually reached the United States, with a different subtitle. And I kind of think the "HOLY SHIT THIS DUDE WITH SCISSORS IS CHASING ME GOTTA BEAT HIM UPSIDE THE HEAD WITH AN IRON AND RUN" captures 80s American campy horror.
Another good indie horror game is Enclosure. It's short, but is extremely entertaining. Also, it reminds me of The Thing. Trapped at an arctic base, no contact with the outside world, and a bunch of people who are at ends with each other...

But there are no boobs!

Ever play the C64 Friday The 13th game? It's about as realistic as the movies

I do really like the procedurally generated slasher flick game idea, that'd be pretty sweet as long as there were enough options to keep it varied

I haven't seen any sequels. Just that one game.

I remember it. It scared me shitless the first time someone was murdered in the same room I was in. Suddenly, there was a scream, and the whole screen switched to a picture of some guy's head with a knife straight through it, and blood running down. Of course, I was about 10 years old at the time. I doubt anyone could be scared by graphics like that these days.

I haven't played it, yet, but there's also Soundless Mountain II which was made for TIGSource's Bootleg Demake Competition. It's basically an NES-demake of Silent Hill II. Now, I don't know if it's actually a scary game or rather a parody of the "original", but it should at least definitely be worth a look for fans :)

Yeah there was definitely something about the ambiance in those games that gave me the creeps at times, even though they were quite addictive.

I never played any C64 games.

Did anyone play Dark Fall? The developer's small enough for me to consider it indie. It was pretty interesting, but the creator Johnathan Boakes' later game The Lost Crown beats it by a mile. The Lost Crown has you hunting down ghosts using ghost-hunting equipment that's based on tools in real life. In fact, before he made the game, Johnathan traveled around Europe, investigating places that are famous for their hauntings, and had some pretty strange experiences. Though it's rough around the edges, the game is VERY scary and is worth playing, especially if you like adventure games.

It's Friday the 13th so I figure I'll use that as an excuse to bump this thread.
