ECHO is a game that totally escaped my radar, and I'm sad it did. Boasting some incredible AI, Echo dares to ask the question, "what is a harder challenge to overcome than yourself?" ECHO has some incredible visuals for an indie game, sporting a clean, sterile look, presenting this grandiose environment of a palace that feels forbidden, much like the Bible's Garden of Eden, where you feel wrong for even thinking about touching anything there. ECHO uses a system of light and darkness; during lighted sections, the AI will record each and every one of your actions down to the pixel, but during darkness, you're free to act without consequence. The game becomes a push-and-tug of progress and keeping in mind your actions will make the game harder for yourself, an existential dilemma that makes you examine your actions like no game before it. The game's story is rather vague honestly the game feels more like a proof-of-concept than anything, but unfortunately the game was a mega flop and the stuido was closed down. It was created by former Hitman developers and there may be a movie in the works, but who knows. I'd love this AI adapted for future projects though if at all possible!

57. Spookys Jump Scare Mansion (Video Game) (17.5 points)

Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion, formerly known as Spooky's House of Jumpscares, is an interesting meta-commentary on the state of modern day horror games, while still being a fun game and creepy game in its own right. Back in 2010, the state of survival horror was weird to say the least. The industry still reeled from the influence RE4 had, and classic survival horror with fixed camera angles was deader than disco, instead a new hybrid of shooter-horrors like Dead Space & Alan Wake dominated the landscape. Many decried this advancement in gaming, but there were alternatives. Penumbra: Overture, made by Frictional Games, helped influence a new breed of horror games, one where combat was completely taken away from you, truly emphasizing enemy avoidance. Frictional's own Amnesia: The Dark Descent would follow-up and refine this style to diamond perfection, and that game's explosion in popularity would bring with it a whole decade of horror that would explore, expand, and exploit the genre to its limits with games like Outlast, Slender, Observer, Soma, countless others, and of course Spooky's. Spooky's central idea was the satire of this gameplay evolution (or devolution to some), a response to how these games were often built around one central method of fear delivery, that being, you guessed it, the jump scare. In particular, I feel like the game was aimed at Youtubers like Markiplier or PewDiePie who occasionally seemed to have forced overreactions to these horror games, but was nonetheless an ouroboros cycle that fed into the popularity of both parties.

I love the structure and tone of Spooky's; great satire is after all always built first on the respect for the original works. There's a reason films like Shaun of the Dead, Cabin in the Woods, & Scream have endured for as long as they have. Spooky's gets its hucks out of its system quickly, peppering the player with cute, smiling cardboard cut-outs almost daring you to scream in terror, but quickly launches at you what the game calls "specimens", genuinely horrifying monsters that chase you through the many rooms of the maze-like mansion. Despite the drastic shift in tone, Spooky's undercurrent of comedy remains, with your host Spooky wishing to be feared and trolling the player with certain "gifts", arcade minigames, cartoony vibe, and files commentating on a character's wish, nay hope, he is the main protagonist (he's not). All of this adds up to be a pretty unique experience even if it does get a little repetitive as it goes on, and on, and on, and on. People who are averse to horror games will still find this pants-soiling, but for those more in the know, it really becomes a way to meditate on the tropes that make horror games function the way they do, poke fun of overused cliches, and have an atmospheric, scary-good time on top of it all too.

Phyrexia is a nightmare world, melding flesh & technology into one, a hellish world of 9 spheres each worse than the last. The Dante's Inferno connection is obvious, but it's how Phyrexia reinterprets that old reliable concept that's admirable here. Each sphere is a lurid malformation of real life, reexamining existence through the lens of industrial evolution run rampant, in a world where excess is an unknown word and anything short of bio-mechanical dominance is unacceptable, offspring is produced in cold, unfeeling factories and seen as expendable in this dooming march of so-called progress. It's every nightmare people had of Victorian Era industrial revolution condensed, the roaring of thunderous machines becoming our new language, a maze of steel pipes and steam-stacks replacing our creature comforts for economic greed, represented by the controlling head of Yawgmoth and the governing demon body, raining oil and rusted husks killing off the environment and any sense of freedom, health, or peace. It's a terrifically scary world, a bleak reminder of how easy things can deteriorate if people don't stand up for what's right, all realized in amazing artwork and solidly-thought out writing.

Importance: 5

Snake: 7

Control is Remedy's latest flawed masterpiece, a graphical marvel to behold with influences from modern day Internet horror culture, crafting a shared universe with ease, connecting to their other games & franchises in a way that feels totally fresh & original. Control builds on the team's previous efforts in Quantum Break, incorporating psychic and time-bending powers to use in combat. Combat can occasionally feel floaty and weak, but once you start building up your characters and really incorporating all your abilities, you'll feel like a god, wreaking havoc on unsuspecting foes throughout your playthrough. Control has clear nods to SCP culture and of course Remedy's ever-prescient Twin Peaks influence carried over from Alan Wake, especially prevalent in its red lighting & extra-dimensional spaces. Instead of the SCP Foundation, you play as Jesse Faden, the new director of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC, sounds familiar, huh?), which studies paranormal entities and phenomena that threaten to invade the fabric of our reality. Though the main antagonistic force of the game is known as The Hiss, which is reminiscent of the Dark Presence in Alan Wake (in AWE it's revealed The Hiss were a product of Wake's writing), there are also "Altered Items", normal items altered by paranormal activity, which is a verrrry SCP-type concept. I'm glad there's a game pushing SCPs more into mainstream, I feel like this is the first video game to truly be influenced by that in the same other games and films have been taking cues from Lynch and King for an untold number of years. Control has maybe the most impressive graphics I've yet to see in a video game too, a total beast that barely runs on the current hardware, incorporating ray tracing and photo-realism that truly brings the paranormal straight to your living-room with unmatched fidelity. I actually haven't played this game fully yet, but its incredible lore, world-building, fluid gameplay, and immense graphical prowess has proved to be a slow but surefire success, and as the game only increases in popularity and influence, the sky seems to be the limit for Remedy as I think they have struck a gold-mine here they would be wise to continue.

60. Ode to Kirihito (17.5 points)
Nominated by: Xeybozn (4/5 remaining)


Importance: 4.5
Fear: 6
Snake: 7

Ode to Kirihito is a magnificent manga that blends the unique elements of medical drama with a werewolf story, well-regarded for its unique and influential panel layouts and as a predecessor to creator Osamu Tezuka's later more straight-laced doctor serials. What I like most about Kirihito is it never sacrifices one aspect of its story for the other. Main protagonist, doctor Kirihito Osanai, battles a viral infection that turns humans into dog-people, before becoming infected himself. Kirihito's relationships are compelling, and the series mainly explores themes of identity and self-discovery, along with the corruption and pure greed of the medical industry. Kirihito is often used, abused and exploited for his monstrous appearance, serving as an allegory for personal growth through tragedy and hardship. I love the artwork throughout the series, it's so sparse and dramatically lit, clinical yet imaginative, it leaves just enough to the reader's interpretation, never Junji Ito levels of pure terror but its horror is one that's approachable, subtle, relevant, and human. It is touching and heart-wrenching and I recommend it to any fans of horror manga.

One of several moving moments of horror in the Next Generation, Conspiracy presents itself as a techno paranoia-thriller, chock full of its own noir signatures to craft a mystery as compelling and horrific as anything found in film. It probably has one of the scariest climaxes in television, as the parasitic (okay I swear I didn't plan the last few found entries in the ranking to be related to assimilating parasites) beings even infiltrate the upper echelons of Starfleet Command, and Picard is served a meal of worms in a stomach-churning event of dread and disgust. I like how the episode expertly builds up suspense, and shows Picard at his most serious and untrusting, and though it's always pretty obvious who has the parasite, what those characters perform under their influence is unpredictable. The episode is especially notable for its fantastic special effects, including the terrific shot of the exploded head on the chair up above, an effort it won an Emmy for. The episode ends with a chilling cliffhanger, as we left in limbo whether or not the parasites' message will reach its intended targets and notify their brethren the location of Earth. For fourty-minutes, Star Trek condenses its themes into a digestible short horror film, in which its implications and sense of anxiety makes it a stand-out in the series' canon.

Imagine your most cherished fantastical place as a child. It has everything you ever wanted, full of entertainment and wonder, treats & sweets galore, a total dream where nothing bad or painful ever happens to you. Now imagine if that place was actually a total alcohol-fueled smoke den which feeds & preys on your untapped & unchecked desires, transforming you into a shadow of your former self, a monster even. Wait a minute, that's not very subtle is it? In one of Disney's earliest and darkest strokes, Pinocchio introduced countless generations of children to the terrors of alcoholism and tobacco addiction, turning the children who spend too much time with these vices into literal jackasses. There's your god damn PSA right there. Hell if that's not even the darkest part though, as the Coachman participates in literal child human trafficking bringing children to the island in the first place to sell them into slavery. Jeesus. EXTREMELY in spite-of this, the Pleasure Island sequences are impeccably animated with tons of bright detail and centerpieces such as a gigantic clown, and the sequences are framed with some comedic integrity too, as boys scramble into the rought fighting pit or climb over each other World War Z style to literally chomp at the bit for cigars, before an Animal House rager becomes the party to end all parties. I guess much like the island itself, it really makes you forget the darker elements behind it all. But can someone explain to me why they chose to name a nightclub after this?!

63. Among us (game) (17.5 points)
Nominated by: handsomeboy2000 (2/5 remaining)

Importance: 5
Fear: 6.5
Snake: 6

Among Us absolutely exploded in popularity recently, as all of you probably already know. A game based on deception, backstabbing, and argumentative friendship-shattering, Among Us perfectly captures our modern times, the game serving as the perfect stress relief to the isolation & quarantine of our COVID-infested year. I don't think that's wrong to say either. Among Us first came out in 2018, to little fan-fare. I had actually heard of it back then, but paid little mind to its cheap-looking Newgrounds aesthetic & uninteresting gameplay. Cut to 2020, and now this game is everywhere. The game was streamed by Sodapoppin back in July and the rest was history, the game simply latched on like a parasyte and absolutely gripped the world with its epic saga of tasks and ejections. If you deny its horror elements however, the most easy comparison to make is with The Thing. Much like the titular alien, if you're the impostor, it's your role to assimilate as a crew member, and to make others trust you as you take them out one by one or sabotage the systems of the real crew. When dead bodies are discovered though, this is where the game becomes the blood testing scene of the Thing. Emotions will flare, anger will rise, and to survive you MUST be ready to argue for yourself no matter which side of the deck you fall on. In a way, Among Us is the natural succession to Mafia, another popular online game in the argument genre for years, given an upgrade that incorporates the elements of skilled play & survival of a battle royale, a kid-friendly graphical style that's easy to produce and ensures all ages get in on the fun (SEE: Fall Guys as well), and made totally accessible for anyone with a smartphone & internet connection. Among Us was the social outlet we needed this year, proving that some games, given the time and affection they deserve, will always come along at the right time and become a smash-hit under the current circumstances.

Nominated by: Johnbobb (2/5 remaining)


Importance: 4.5
Fear: 7
Snake: 6

Parasyte -the maxim- is a boundary pushing anime that takes the concept of body horror and carries it to its natural limits. Much like Evil Dead, I did notice plenty of more comedic elements too but in general, when it comes to plain grossing out the viewer, few do it better than Parasyte here. The series stars Shinichi Izumi, as parasites from space come down to Earth and take over humans like Body Snatchers. One of these parasites targets Izumi but fails in his total assimilation due to not being able to enter through his ear, instead taking over his right hand and giving Izumi a sort of unwanted super power. A large portion of the series deals with Izumi coming to grips with his parasite (who he names Migi) and the close bond they share, but also the change in personality Izumi exhibits due to this power. When it comes to the monster design, Parasyte shines beautifully. These are some of the most gruesomely realistic monsters in an anime, and when combined with their human hosts, it gives each encounter a sense of gravitas and originality that makes each unique encounter incredibly memorable. I will admit though, when it came to the main plot and Izumi's interactions with his typical supporting cast, it didn't quite grip me as much. Any moments not spent on the anime's disgustingly gorgeous parasites was time wasted to me. Still, it's anime I would absolutely recommend for any hardcore body horror fans out there, it's easily one of the best in that department.

Nominated by: RaidenGarai (0/5 remaining)


Importance: 6
Fear: 1
Snake: 10

AKA the best final girl of all time. Whilst Laurie Strode and Sally Hardesty may have held their own against formidable dangers, none took matters into their own hands quite like Nancy Thompson did. Hardly just a wimpy bystander, Nancy was an active participant who sought action against arguably the most dangerous slasher of all time. She learned survival skills, was spunky and firm with everyone from her parents to her best friends, and did everything in her power to stay awake by sheer force of will (and a few dozen cups of caffeine straight to the bloodstream). She is played to crisp perfection by Heather Langenkamp, who embodies Nancy's unbound teenage angst with a purpose hardly seen in the 80s slasher landscape, as her parents' divorce eats away at her innocence years before Freddy's claw graces the bubbles of her bathtub. If we look at Freddy as representing Nancy's coming-of-age, then her struggles with her mom's alcoholism and diminishing lack of faith in once-idolized adult figures frames Nancy's story as one forged in fire, in which Nancy is shown to be undeniably human, at once frightened and vulnerable, but using those negative feelings to empower her own sense of self-worth, preferring to face her problems head-on rather than let them languish inside the confines of her mind. These traits make Nancy a timeless character anyone can look up to, but especially remains a relevant, powerful feminist icon as the people surrounding her refuse to believe her "stories" about Freddy, eerily reminiscent of the MeToo movement and the struggles many women have in relating their experiences out of fear of being ridiculed or discredited. The battle of Freddy vs. Nancy is one based out of psychological warfare, and this expansive slate is a springboard for all matter of interpretations, which is what makes Nancy an endlessly compelling character and Freddy the perfect antagonist as a breeding ground for vigorous symbolism, complimenting each other and relating to the human experience like no other in the world of horror.

Of all the tracks in Celeste, none quite captures Madeline's anxiety & the physical & emotional damage of panic attacks more than In the Mirror. Right from the track's start, the synths flail out for rescue, buzzing endlessly in search of an escape hatch, and when none is found, ratting, erratic percussion steps in, as if to further increase the sense of frailty we feel in our emotions. Then, silence. From around 2:30 on, the track takes on a more serene quality, and can be interpreted in one of two ways. One, as a dulling of our senses, instead of letting our emotions out, we keep them locked away inside, our ignorance of them only planting the seeds for a total meltdown later on. Or, the much more comforting second option, as a breath, a calming meditation where the silence actually becomes a hallway for us to travel down, to seek out new information about ourselves and about our world, letting the light of our minds be our guide. Either way, there's something nagging at us, a small whisper at the back of our minds, the sum of our fears & anxieties quietly threatening to rip us apart at any moment. The wailing synth returns, but this time, there's the faint glimmer of a more hopeful tenderness to the backing melody, our motivation, no matter how small to keep up our drive and push on ahead no matter the cost. This is such a beautifully composed track, it's clear a lot of thought went into how this was structued and of course you can interpret how you want too! On just a musical level, I just love listening to it too, because once again even through its darker themes there's still something so peaceful about it, like I could just float away without a care in the world.

As an aside, the whole Celeste soundtrack is amazing and full of wonderful songs like this. There's even one inspired by Resident Evil save room themes, Quiet and Falling, which I thought was awesome!

Another skin-crawlingly good horror track, it kicks off with the muffled moans of some unknowing being as a bubbling synth glides around ear-to-ear in the background, the percussion perfectly industrialized, rising in tension and intensity as the track marches on, until it reaches a straight-up manic pace, bound to induce panic in the listener to no matter who you are or what you are doing. At 3:19, it crashes to a halt though, leaving behind only the drones of madness, a sort of unknown terror in its static rumble, a single piano note stings every few seconds piercing the ear with pure, bleak emptiness. This track plays during the most disturbing part of the game, in a looping corridor and the insane rhythm & pace of the music gets more intense each loop. Again, much like Schizophrenia it suits the game and its themes like no other, a perfect electronic/industrial ambient track that really leaves the listener reeling once it's done.

Yeah I guess you're probably right on the vote part in particular.

Haunted Mansion is one of the more famous Disney rides around. With its Gothic overtones and surprisingly creepy backstory, Haunted Mansion is a fan-favorite of adults and kids looking to be spooked no matter what time of year it is. Starting with its seating, I like how they look little ghost pods, really adds to the setting nicely in a simple way. The inside is a feast for the eyes with gorgeous architecture invoking a Victorian era mansion, lightning flashes illuminate paintings on the wall showing hidden skeletons, and ever further in we get this glorious shot of an MC Escher wet dream with staircases boggling the mind with their alien geometry. Compared to the Monster Mansion, the Haunted Mansion I think does have a more kid-friendly vibe though. The seance circle would still be enough to scare small children for sure, but dancing ghosts in the ballroom has a whimsy to it that's more inviting than repulsive, along with a full orchestra of horn-tooting ghouls, and Grim Grinning Ghosts has a bouncing energy to it no matter which you way you slice it. Finally there's an awesome bonus addition at the end which shows ghosts riding along with you in your cart. Creepy way to end it off! Just an iconic ride you can't go wrong with!
