Sure, there’s nothing scary about a jacket draped over a chair, apart from potentially your fashion sense, but when your brain is drowning in darkness and deprived of visual information, that chair is a threat. We’ve all been there, seemingly safe within the confines of our bed before opening our eyes to a weird entity in the corner of the room. While many might simply interpret Dead Space’s gaggle of grotesque hostiles to be mere alien zombies, the true nature of the Necromorph is obscured by its disconcerting disposition, comprising of incomprehensible body horror and a fear of the unknown. The 2008 survival horror game Dead Space may draw influence from various other space-fueled fright-fests, but it also gave birth to one of the most horrifying creatures to inhabit the stars above, in the form of the Necromorph. There is, however, one guaranteed method of unnerving even the most hardened terror enthusiasts – by presenting them with a threat that they can’t quite figure out. From the guts and gore of splatter cinema to eerie tellings of the paranormal, there’s plenty of ways to harvest the screams of fear-loving fans. The fact that they're fast, and just barely recognizable as human is also pretty bad.Horror comes in many guises and forms, with many takes on the genre feeding off of our own personal fears and aversions. I had such nightmares when I was little from the first Pirates of the Carribean, that first scene, when you see the skeletal hand, and the Dementors in the Harry Potter movies were pretty terrifying the first time too, again when they show just the rotting-type skeletal hand. I was all like 'I do NOT wanna face one of those in the dark.' There was one point where the lights went off right after I save and right before you go through this door. So basically, the barbarian with the greatclub and the ranger that specialized in archery are BONED. The black superzombie things? Pop it up to 15 or something.

The only thing I can think of off of the top of my head is something along the lines of DR10/Slashing. Really? The 'monster shows up on the other side of the brightly lit room and you should probably shoot its leg off' terrifies you? The first time a dead guy came back to life, I jumped a bit and shot the hell out of it, but - You know what?
