Horror in video games

Horror is a genre that is explored heavily in video games both in horror games as well as games that might utilize horror imagery for other purposes.
== History ==
The first horror-themed video game was Haunted House, released in 1972, for the Magnavox Odyssey (not to be confused with the unrelated game of the same name released 10 years later). In the game, a haunted house overlay is to be placed on the television screen and the game itself lights it up as scenarios are dictated by game cards drawn.
