Scary films, TV, games & books

A cross-media mood guide — picked by taste.

Fear travels well. A film can unsettle you in ninety minutes; a series prolongs the dread across weeks; a game makes you responsible for surviving it; a book puts the horror directly inside your skull. This collection spans all four — from sinister wishes with a dark price to nightmarish towns with no exit, from isolated underwater cities to children terrorised by an evil that knows their deepest fears. Whatever form it takes, the feeling is the same: something is very, very wrong.

Frequently asked

Where should a newcomer start with scary films?

Lee Cronin's The Mummy is a strong entry point — a family reunion that turns into a nightmare, built on mystery and dread. For slasher tension with legacy weight, Scream 7 follows Sidney Prescott facing a new Ghostface killer who targets her own daughter.

What's the scariest game in this collection?

BioShock is the most atmospheric — the horror of an underwater city that was meant to be a utopia but collapsed into something far worse. Limbo offers a quieter but equally unsettling experience built entirely on isolation and one-hit dread.

Which scary TV series has the most to sink into?

Supernatural follows two brothers raised as soldiers who hunt the paranormal evil that destroyed their family — a long-running series with enormous depth if the premise hooks you. The Walking Dead charts a post-apocalyptic world of flesh-eating zombies and the survivors trying to hold onto their humanity.
