Uhhhhhh there's not very many besides the mainstream ones everyone knows. There's shadow tower and kings field which have scary elements there's also parasite eve. You might like nightmare creatures or soul reaver. Soul reaver was just put on steam actually

Yeah Parasite Eve is the one I'm most curious about turn based and horror sounds like a interesting combo

Parasite Eve is so good. Kinda creepy, not so much scary except the final boss I found to be scary.

Parasite Eve is great. For a more lesser known PS1 horror-rpg I'd suggest Koudelka, which is part of the Shadow Hearts series.

A little bit too old school for me, but umm Silent Hill and Alone in the Dark might of still be a good game back then, since then the recreates.

Dino Crisis.

Bubsy 3D.

Cause it's so terrible you DON'T want to play it.
Which could strike fear onto anyone who just wanted to have a fun time for October.

Causing a playing a horror game for fun is fun.
But playing a terrible game against your own will is torture that no one wants to deal with.

You mean something other than resident evil, parasite eve, and silent hill? That's what 99% of recommendations are going to be. For something outside the usual list, I would look at koudelka, shadow man, nightmare creatures, and blood omen.

Shadowman actually has a remaster on steam and is currently discounted. This is probably the best way to play it if you're interested.

MediEvil or Gex. Both were spooky

EDIT: Gex just had that one spooky level. My mistake

Yeah I like to get my hands on Medievil, maybe the remake would be nice.

Read the book first. Only watch the movie if you really, really want to. It screws up the ending.

The game is more action than horror, IMO.
