Staying with the Halloween theme, does anyone have any suggestions for good horror-type video games? I just recently started the Silent Hill series on PS1, and so far it's looking relatively promising. Anyone have any input?..just don't spoil SH for me if you've played the series already.

No experience with Silent Hill here other than playing a track from one of the games on DDR. However, I've been quite loyal to Resident Evil and I gotta say Resident Evil 4 is really as good as people say it is (plus it feels really good to stick it to the PS2-loyalists who've have to wait several months to play it on their console). Resident Evil 3 was one I didn't care for as much; but the Nemesis really was good for a "Boo factor"...especially with its rocket launcher.
This is pretty tangental, but I was playing Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire on N64 on the first stage, and right before you can get to your ship and clear the level there's a side path where you can snatch a Challenge point (if you got all the Challenge Points for a given difficulty level on each level, you opened up something special). Anyway, I took a left turn and this Wampa showed up seemingly out of nowhere and my friend Matthew literally went "Oh $h!t!" and jumped back about 3 feet. We all looked at him for like 5 minutes.

Silent Hill is the cream of the crop. The rest of the horror games I can think of right now are not really horror games. These include:
Doom 3
The Suffering
Fatal Frame
Clock Tower

Since we've already covered Silent Hill and Resident Evil, I'll see if I can up with some other stuff...
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem on the 'cube is really good. There's a couple parts that'll probably make you jump.
The Thief series for the PC, while not technically horror, is still pretty creepy. You're always sneaking around in the shadows, so the whole stealth and darkness thing can create a fairly scary ambience. Plus some of the places that you'll explore in the games include crypts, abandoned asylums, and abandoned mines. Thief: Deadly Shadows is the newest one, so I guess that's the best one to try.
And if you're looking for something old school, there's always Shadowgate, Deja Vu, or Uninvited on the NES.
Oh, and the Labryinth game on the Nightmare Encyclopedia DVD that comes in the Nightmare on Elm Street box set is kinda cool too.

I already have Uninvited and Shadowgate, those are probably both in my top 10 list for NES games, classic.
I've actually heard of Eternal Darkness: SR. Haven't seen any screen shots or anything like that, or had the chance to play, but I 've heard some good things.
I've also played Fatal Frame for PS2, it was okay, but I kinda like having a gun in the survival horror games, all you have in that is a camera.
