Turn a game you like into a horror game

[zombiejoe]

Ok, I just played a game called "The Kindness of Strangers." It is based off a man's trip to Taiwan, explaining his time dealing with the very nice strangers as you use strange black silhouettes to find your way out of a maze. And it was pretty interesting.

But after beating it, it says "Press Space for a different experience" well the game started out normal, but then as the images of Taiwan appeared, they began to flash, and a clicking sound was getting faster and faster, and the voice over was getting deeper and deeper. I got scared and quit. Turns out it was not supposed to be scary, but still...
Here it is. http://www.gametrekking.com/the-games/taiwan/the-kindness-of-strangers/play-now

So pick a random game (one that's not a horror game) and say how it could be turned into a horror game.

I'll give it a try.

Baby Maker Extreme: HORROR EDITION

When the baby is pushed out of the mother, the game flashes. The walls become gray and dirty. The skin of the doctor is now gray as well, and bloodied cries for help are written on the wall. Every object you slam into is now a dark, shaking form of shadow. When hit, they release low cries of pain, and simple text says "..." on the bottom of the screen. When you finally crash, the point screen will pop up, and the baby's cries are heard as you see your score.

Your turn

Some would say that Earthbound is already a horror game, so I think my work here is done.

Halo: CE, just play the flood parts.

Yep, those flood can be scary.

The worst part about the flood, was the fridge horror that you get when you read the journals on the Ark.

EDIT: OT. Left 4 Dead. Every infected is now a witch, and suddenly it is a stealth game.

Majora's Mask....BEN. Yeah I know I shouldn't have done that

i was playing that "kindness of strangers" game you put a link to, since i'm not that good with horror games to begin with so i figured i'd try and do better with them with a flash game. what you were thinking was it turning into a horror game was actually the hints (the little silhouette guys, the changing background pictures, and the guy talking) being turned off so you can see if you can get through the maze without the (as the title puts it) kindness of strangers.

OT: pokemon. laws of nature has been put into effect. all of the ruins you go through start collapsing around you, your pokemon actually die when they lose in a battle, and for team whatever-version-you're-playing don't use them to try and stop you from interfering with their plans, and when you finally do stop them, they ensure that your life becomes a living hell. i'm not really thinking clearly so some parts might not actually fit with the "horror" genre, but it's what i can think of as far as pokemon goes.

Starcraft: be a marine and fight the Zerg underground, or be in a giant battle with the Protoss with Psi Storms going off everywhere making your friends explode in their armor, people's brains melting from psionic attacks from Protoss and enemy Ghosts. That would be terrifying

Half life 2. Just extend the ravenholm bit a few hours and there you have episode 3: Horror edition.

minecraft add more creepers and remove day

 

[Retronana]

Tales of symphonia, turn every enemy into cthulu-esque monsters and only have the option to run from monster battles, also collette goes insane and kills everyone after receiving "revelations" from the angels.

I would not be a very good game designer XD

Resident Evil 5... No only joking not by any stretch of the imagination a "game I like."

OT: GTA IV, can't get enough of that game especially at night (in game) the potential for this incarnation of Liberty City is pretty much endless in my opinion (the end being anything arcadey... TBoGT... Bugger.
