Gex 3's haunted house levels. Something about them made me absolutely shit myself in fear. I played actual horror games like RE and Parasite Eve at the time and those were spooky, but not as much. I used to walk out and have my older friends beat the levels for me, and I still don't know what made them so scary. I haven't revisited them in years but I think they had shit like paintings with eyes that moved after you, what I thought was graphic gore and the overall unsettling atmosphere contrasted with the rest of the game a lot.

There was some DOS game on my computer, probably a bit of shareware. It was a first person perspective horror point and click, CGA graphics, I thought I had found it when I found Uninvited on a search one day, but I distinctly remember there being a kill room that you couldn't escape once you entered, there were a few girls crowded around a bed, the second you tried any form of interaction (leaving the room, talking, whatever) you would get a killscreen of the girls being vampires/ghouls/something (I was about 7 at the time) lunging towards you and killing you.

I thought that it might have been Uninvited, but the closest thing to that (the Scarlett O'Hara ghost) is not the same. Still haven't found out what the game was, and my Windows 95 hard drive that had it on it died years ago.

Really wish it was on my 3.1 hard drive.

I don't believe that is the game, I distinctly remember CGA graphics. Mind you, I am down in Australia and had a bunch of random locally made games on the computer, it could have been someone's personal take on Uninvited, or an edited version.

I just realised that for all that abandonia and the like have a respectable catalogue of earlier era PC games, so many have been lost forever. What a shame.
