As the title says, I was wondering what'd make for good horror in the medium, and thought I'd try to ask here!

Dread is commonly recommended but I haven't tried it myself yet.

Trophy is another one. Listening to their podcast, I found it creepy indeed.

+1 for Dread, it's so easy to play

Instead of dice, you play with a jenga tower. It's a physical manifestation of narrative tension, and that goes a long way in getting the players into the vibe
