    Matthew,

    Actually, I have I copy of TSR's Vampire if you are interested.

    Another game I own that didn't make the list is Chill: Black Morn Manor

    I highly recommend BMM!

    Also, I didn't notice TSR's Nightmare House (published in Ares.) There
    was also the magazine game Slasher Flick published in Fantasy Gamer #1.

    There is also the eerie Dark Cults card game but it is set up for two players. This has to have the best creepy horror potential of all the
    games listed so far.

    Other games that could tangentially fit with a horror theme:
    Attack of the Mutants (Yaquinto) - goofy mutants attack college lab
    Bug-Eyed Monsters (West End) - take-off on 50's sci-fi alien take-over
    films
    Demons (SPI) - wargamey effort regarding conjuring demons
    Intruder (Task Force Games) - solitaire game influenced by the movie
    Alien
    Necromancer (Steve Jackson Games) - armies of undead fight each other

    Another game I own that didn't make the list is Chill: Black Morn Manor by Pacesetter. The game is for 2-6 players and the board is built with tiles during game play with one player acting as the minion for the 'Master' building
    the mansion and the other players advancing to the manor from the surrounding yard. The 'Master' is randomly drawn from 12 selections each game and the players must first determine who this fiend is so they can find the key item that will destroy it. For example, if your group is attacked by 'Wolves, bats,
    and rats,' then the Master is probably either the Vampire, Werewolf, or Batlord. Better hope you don't only have the silver bullet though when the Batlord attacks (unless you're facing the dreaded 'Batlord and Friend' Master card!) It does create an excellent mystery as you try to determine what evil you're battling. Hey, even my wife likes playing this one!!!

    Jae provided a pretty comprehensive list. The only other two I can think of are both vampire games - Mayfair's Transylvania and Steve Jackson Games' Undead. The former is really too simple to be interesting, the latter is supposed to be pretty good (it's Van Helsing & Co. vs. Dracula in London), but moderately complex and not something I'd bring out at a Halloween party.
