Spoiler alert: This ain’t gonna end well.

So here I am in 2023 playing the Dead Space Remake. So wait, why am I doing this to myself again?

It made me realize that it was not necessarily the horror that scared me but the psychological stuff that made my active imagination go wild. I had nightmares about the television in my room for months - and I was a grown adult, to boot. Then I watched the Japanese version of The Ring. I blame my aunts and uncles who made me watch movies like Carrie or Friday the 13th while I held out hope that they’d then put in Neverending Story or The Last Starfighter once they’ve gotten all the jump scares out of their system.Įventually, I’d get over my fear of gory slasher films and thought I was fine.

As I sat late at night in my living room with the lights turned off and the eerie quiet of Dead Space unfolding right in front of my eyes, a question popped in my mind.
