It's understandable why others could not fall asleep at night after playing horror games. The mixed element of fright, excitement and adrenaline are all in one bowl once you enter the horrifying world of ghosts and other ghastly creatures.

Maybe you have already played one or two horror games in the past, but it's good to explore other options to test if you are brave enough to do other scary tasks.

These games will surely send chills down your spine. Pay attention to what's in front of you. You might miss the opportunity of seeing sinister spirits that you haven't seen yet.

Facing Pyramid Head in Silent Hill

One of the longest-running horror game franchises in the gaming industry is the Silent Hill series. The first version of the game was released in 1999 on PS1. The second installment was launched two years later.

Silent Hill is very popular among horror game fans who have witnessed "all hell breaks loose" scenarios that they did not expect were coming.

The classic Konami video game title will not only strike you from within. It would also hit you psychologically until you overcome your fear as you progress in the story.

There's a reason why this remains to be one of the scariest games until this day. It will give you nightmares as you play Alessa. You can encounter every creepy creature here including the iconic Pyramid Head and Bubble Head Nurses.

Until Dawn

The Dark Pictures Anthology has done a great job in delivering interesting titles including the House of Ashes and the Man of Medan. It was first released in 2015 on PlayStation 4.

It's similar to a typical tell-tale game where your decisions have a huge bearing on the outcome of the game. You have to make the best decision to survive.

Until Dawn is highly-interactive and very pressed in its rich narrative revolving around the slasher genre. If you are a fan of Halloween movies, this is definitely a must-add to your list.

Your goal is to keep many characters alive. You can make a lot of sacrifices but think twice or more before diving into a new judgment.

Sadsquare Studios has captured the hearts of true-blue horror enthusiasts upon releasing its first-ever psychological horror game Visage. The indie developer was able to properly incorporate the trauma, and terror in this game.

You've been warned at this moment that this game is not for everyone. Visage is a masterpiece that won't let you rest even for a minute or two. It's not for the faint-hearted guys out there.

Our final reminder? Be prepared for nerve-wracking jumpscares that will render you sleepless for some time. Some fans used to compare Visage to Silent Hill Demo PT after playing it.
