A horror game is a video game genre based on scaring the bejeevus out of the player. Many horror games attempt to tap into the player's primal fears, however, most often this becomes nothing more original than jumping out of the closet and yelling "Booo!"

Survival Horror

Survival Horror is a subgenre of horror games which attempts to increase suspense (and therefore the "Booo!" effect) by restricting ammo and other player resources.
