Horror has always appealed to that part of us that likes to be scared. It gets the adrenaline pumping and makes us hyperaware, whether it’s a horror film or even one of those haunted houses that pop up in every town around Halloween. Horror video games were the next step, mixing the immersion of a haunted house, with the realism and simulated danger of a good horror film. What is the only thing that could make that experience better, you might ask? It being free of course. So here are fifteen horror games that are both fantastic, and free.
