This video featured 5 individual game reviews.
The premise of the video was to see if Lily could start to like horror games by playing some early ones. Her definition of horror games was dictated by this Wikipedia article.
=== Haunted house (Atari 2600) ===
Released in 1981, Haunted house is considered one of the earliest horror games. You play as a man, or a woman...it's hard to tell, you're represented as eyes in the darkness, and have to traverse a haunted house and located missing pieces of an urn while avoiding monster.
For it's time it was pretty tense and fun to play and despite it's simple graphics the game looked quite good with a charming art style to it.
Lily compared it to a very very primitive Alien Isolation.
=== Halloween (Atari 2600) ===
It's shit.
=== Castlevania (NES) ===
The original Castlevania on the NES was a good game albeit a little bit too difficult for MayRey to get past level 3 on. The combat was basic but at least responsive while the platforming left much to be desired. 
Lily did show interest in playing future games to see if her issues with the game had been fixed.
=== Nightmare creatures (N64) ===
Released in 1997, Nightmare Creatures was a survival horror action game developed by 2 time WWE United States Champion Kalisto[citation needed].
It's controls were slightly janky as it was an early 3D game but it's combat was solid and the game had a fairly creepy atmosphere.
=== Monster Bash (PC) ===
A childhood game of MayRey's, Monster bash was a spoopy platformer where you played as Johnny Dash, a young kid who has to rescue all the cats and dogs. Not to mention kill zombies and other ghouls with a slingshot.
The game was incredibly Nostalgic for Lily and she expressed her wish to see it be rereleased with controller support[make it happen nintendo].
