From Haunted Houses to Zombies: The Most Frightening Scary Horror Games

Do you enjoy the adrenaline rush of being scared out of your wits? Are you a fan of horror movies and looking for a new way to experience fear? Look no further. In this article, we will explore some of the most terrifying scary horror games that will leave you trembling with fear. From haunted houses to zombies, these games will push your limits and keep you on the edge of your seat.

Haunted Houses: A Classic Thrill

If you’re a fan of haunted houses, then horror games that feature eerie mansions or abandoned buildings are sure to provide an exhilarating experience. One such game that comes to mind is “Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.” Set in a dilapidated plantation house in rural Louisiana, this game combines atmospheric horror with intense gameplay. As you navigate through dark corridors and solve puzzles, you’ll encounter grotesque creatures and terrifying jump scares that will keep your heart pounding.

Another notable haunted house game is “Amnesia: The Dark Descent.” In this first-person survival horror game, players find themselves trapped inside an ancient castle with no memory of how they got there. With limited resources and a lurking presence that feeds on fear, this game is guaranteed to make even the bravest players feel vulnerable and terrified.

Zombies: A Never-Ending Nightmare

Zombies have been a staple in horror culture for decades, and scary horror games featuring these undead creatures are always popular among thrill-seekers. One standout title in this genre is “The Last of Us.” Set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by infected humans turned into zombies, this action-adventure game blends intense combat with an emotionally gripping storyline. The realistic graphics and immersive gameplay make every encounter with the infected a heart-pounding experience.

For those seeking a more intense zombie experience, “Resident Evil 2” is a must-play. This remake of the classic survival horror game takes players back to Raccoon City, where a zombie outbreak has turned the population into flesh-eating monsters. With its atmospheric setting and relentless undead enemies, this game will keep you on your toes as you fight for survival.

Psychological Horror: A Mind-Bending Challenge

If you prefer horror games that mess with your mind, then psychological horror games are perfect for you. “Silent Hill 2” is often regarded as one of the best examples of this subgenre. As players control James Sunderland through the foggy town of Silent Hill, they unravel a deeply disturbing story filled with symbolism and psychological torment. The game’s haunting atmosphere and psychological twists will leave you questioning reality long after you’ve put down the controller.

Another mind-bending horror experience is “Layers of Fear.” In this first-person exploration game, players step into the shoes of a disturbed painter as they navigate through a constantly changing mansion. Delving into themes of madness and obsession, this game uses clever storytelling and visual trickery to create an unsettling experience that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Survival Horror: Fight or Flight

For those who enjoy intense gameplay and heart-pounding action, survival horror games provide an adrenaline-fueled experience like no other. “Outlast” is a prime example of this genre. Armed only with a camcorder, players must navigate through an abandoned psychiatric hospital filled with deranged inmates. With no means to defend yourself other than hiding or running away, every encounter becomes a tense battle for survival.

Another standout survival horror game is “Alien: Isolation.” Set fifteen years after the events of Ridley Scott’s iconic film “Alien,” players assume the role of Ellen Ripley’s daughter as she tries to survive aboard a space station infested by one relentless xenomorph. The game’s AI-driven alien enemy constantly adapts to the player’s actions, making every encounter a nerve-wracking game of cat-and-mouse.

In conclusion, if you’re a fan of being scared senseless, these scary horror games will provide an unforgettable experience. Whether you prefer haunted houses, zombies, psychological torment, or survival challenges, there is a game out there that will cater to your darkest fears. So grab your controller and prepare for a night of terror as you dive into these spine-chilling virtual worlds.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

The storied history of The Tremont House runs deep, dating back to 1839. Through the highs and lows, we've endured and remain a constant in the community of Galveston. Take a trip down memory lane with us and enjoy the sophisticated elegance you can only experience at The Tremont House.

The Tremont House

History of Galveston

The Tremont House is a Galveston institution that dates to 1839. The original Tremont House was built the same year that Galveston was officially founded.

The Tremont House

The Heritage Of The Tremont House

In June 1865, the Belle of the South, The Tremont House, succumbed to a great fire that raged in the Strand District for days, destroying entire city blocks. For more than 5-years, our beloved landmark lay in ruins.

The Tremont House

An Epic History

The new Tremont House was a grand, 4-story structure rivaling the South's grandest attractions. Noted architect Nicholas Clayton, designed the hotel, and would later design many of Galveston's most distinguished buildings. The second Tremont House opened in 1872 attracting dignitaries and the elite from around the world.

The Tremont House

The Great Galveston Hurricane

In 1900, a devastating hurricane barreled across the Gulf of Mexico and straight into the island. It's estimated that between 6,000 and 8,000 souls passed during a hurricane that left the island in ruins. As the economy slipped into depression, our historic Galveston hotel faded into a shadow of its former glory. The second Tremont House was condemned and ultimately demolished in 1928.

The Tremont House

The Legacy of Cynthia & George Mitchell

Cynthia and George Mitchell were leaders in the transformation of Galveston's once neglected downtown area. On a 1972 visit to Savannah, the Mitchells learned about an innovative preservation program which included a revolving fund for buying and reselling endangered properties. They dispatched the Galveston Historical Foundation to study Savannah's achievements and adapt them to Texas.

The Tremont House

1981 - Today

A new beginning.

Our legendary hotel was destined to rise again in Galveston’s Historic District. In 1981, George and Cynthia Mitchell acquired the Leon & H. Blum Building and transformed it into the third Tremont House. The 1879 building, formerly a dry goods concern, is now a romantic hotel that captures the spirit and elegance of its predecessors. When the hotel opened in 1985 it was the first major hotel to open in downtown Galveston in sixty years.

Tremont is Haunted. We had first hand experience!

My wife and I stayed in the Magnolia Suite in room 306. Upon entering the room we were really happy with the first class surroundings. We did some research and saw the stories on the history of the building and figured it was a historic building and it would be a good experience. Little did we know what it would happen. It started that evening when we got to the room about 11:30. My wife wanted to listen to Pandora music on her phone so she turned it on and she had a full charge on her phone. After about 5 minutes her battery was drained to zero. I turned my phone which had a full charge to pandora music and within 30 seconds it was drained to zero. We then prepared to go to sleep. We turned the lamps off above the bed and opened one of the long windows for a bit of light so it would not be too dark. Suddenly one of the lights above the bed came on and flickered on and off. We sort of laughed it off. It was Almost 1:30am and I could not sleep. I suddenly felt someone grab my toe thru the blankets and apply presure to my right toe. I woke my wife up and told her about it. She told me to close my eyes and go to sleep. I then tried very hard to sleep but within... My wife and I stayed in the Magnolia Suite in room 306.

I woke my wife up and told her about it. She told me to close my eyes and go to sleep. I then tried very hard to sleep but within a minute or so felt a hand brush thru the blanket against my right thigh. I woke her up again and once again she told me to try to sleep that it probably was a spirit but it won't hurt you. At this point I could not sleep. I was lying there with my eyes open in the dark. I felt my right toe being pinched again thru the blanket. I woke my wife up again and told her. She once again assured me that it must be a friendly spirit playing with me and to try to sleep and it will go away. I told her I could not sleep and I will stay up all night as I would not be able to sleep as it kinda scared me to physically feel something pull my toe thru the blanket. She rolled over and I tried to sleep and layed there with my eyes open. About 15 minutes later I started crying and was very very sad. I noticed the tears running down my face and then in the living room area could hear a woman's muffled scream. I then woke my wife up and told her I am not crazy and I heard a woman scream in the other room and took my wifes hand and made her feel the tears on my face as I was sad and crying for some reason. I begged her for us to just pack up and leave. She said it was not safe to drive back to Houston in the middle of the night. I told her I would drive part of the ways and she could drive the other and she again refused to leave. I then decided to close my eyes and try to sleep and eventually I did fall asleep as when I woke it was close to 8am. I woke my wife up and she gave me a good morning kiss as she got out of bed and went to use the restroom she returned and asked me to look at her stomach. She had two hand prints showing fingers impressed with both thumbs meeting in her belly button area. It was a small hand as either a woman or child. We were numb! something had touched her and left the hand impression on her stomach. We loved the hotel but it was a bit more haunting than we wanted it to be. [email protected] More

Room was beautiful and exceptionally clean. Front desk was friendly and valet service was prompt. Further from Sea Wall than I realized but with valet service it was easy to call for the car and drive to the beach within a few minutes. We will definitely stay here again. Love The Tremont House!

We are pleased that you had a "wonderful experience" at The Tremont House. Please know that we also offer a courtesy shuttle to Hotel Galvez if you would prefer not to drive. We look forward to your next visit with us.

Located in Galveston, Texas

The Tremont House Hotel in Galveston, Texas is a historic and luxurious property located in the heart of the city. Built in 1879, the hotel has a rich history and has played host to many prominent figures over the years. However, it is also rumored to be home to several ghosts, making it a popular destination for ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts.

One of the most famous ghosts at the Tremont House is said to be that of a young girl named Sallie.

Despite these rumors, the Tremont House remains a popular and highly respected hotel. The staff and management have always denied the existence of ghosts on the property and attribute any strange occurrences to natural causes.

Dare To Visit The Haunted Side of Galveston

Galveston, Texas - home to the deadliest storm in U.S. history - welcomes thrill seekers this spooky season.

The season for thrills and chills is here and Galveston Island’s ghostly history makes it one of the top destinations in the country for “haunted” travel. From an over a century old “haunted” hotel to Galveston’s storied harbor, cemeteries and Victorian mansions, this October the island will be bustling with visitors seeking to be spooked by numerous ghost stories that stem from the country’s deadliest natural disaster and other tragedies.

Cemetery ghost in Galveston

I once doubted the haunted nature of Galveston. Surely, ghosts don’t roam island streets and hotel hallways. All that changed one recent afternoon during lunch at what is now the Grand Galvez . While among some writers and some hotel staff, I noticed the knife on my bread plate vibrating out of control. I checked for shaking legs under the table. Nope. I checked overhead to see if the fan could cause this movement. Nope. And, our conversation at the time centered around the haunted stories that abound at this site. So, now I’m a believer.

Interior of the Grand Galvez Hotel in Galveston

Whether you’re a doubter, believer or someone on the fence, it’s the season for thrills and chills in Galveston. The island’s ghostly history makes it one of the top destinations in the country for “haunted” travel. Chief among them is the island’s 110-year-old Grand Galvez , which has been featured on the Travel Channel’s Ghost Stories and on the Discovery Channel’s Ghost Lab for its paranormal significance.

The hotel, which offers special ghost tours during October, is said to be haunted by a “Ghost Bride” who reportedly has been seen in room 501 and in the hotel’s west turret. Legend has it that the bride hanged herself in the west turret during the mid-1900s after hearing reports that her fiancé had died at sea. Tragically, her fiancé eventually returned to the hotel looking forward to a marriage that would never be.

Explore Galveston's Haunted Grand Galvez

Galveston has many other sites that are considered haunted, including an 1867 building that served as a morgue after the 1900 Storm – still the deadliest storm in U.S. history having killed an estimated 8,000 Galveston residents. The building now houses Haunted Mayfield Manor – a year-round haunted house attraction in downtown Galveston. The haunted house embraces the spooky history of the building’s past while providing guests with a psychologically thrilling experience. The Galveston Historical Foundation , which manages many of the island’s well-preserved historical sites and Victorian mansions, also offers ghost tours throughout October. Many of the island’s historic places have ghost stories attached to them as Galveston has been home to epidemics of disease, war, fires, storms and many merciless pirates, including the infamous Jean Laffite whose lavish and lawless den of thieves was the island’s first European settlement. This year, visitors can enjoy Haunted Harbor Tours in Galveston Bay and Galveston Ghost Stories in the city’s oldest home, the 1838 Menard House .

Many, many people have lived and died by these waters, and perhaps some of the dead still reside here. We invite our guests to listen to the stories and decide for themselves. But you don't have to believe in ghosts to know that the dead are a presence on this island. Dwayne Jones, executive director of the Galveston Historical Foundation

Broadway Cemetery District, Galveston. (Ghost City Tours)

The hurricane that still haunts Galveston

When you think of spooky cities, Galveston may not come to mind if you're not from Texas. But it is one of the most haunted cities in the U.S.

What You Need To Know

Many people consider galveston one of the most haunted cities in the u.s. many claim the ghosts haunt the city because of the 1900 hurricane it's believed that orphan children who died in the 1900 hurricane haunt galveston beach, where do the ghosts come from.

The city has made several lists of the most haunted cities in the U.S. In fact, it's so haunted, there are ghost tour services on the island.

I spoke with Sarah from  Ghost City Tours of Galveston to get some insight on the hauntings. "Most of the (ghost) sightings are reported in August and September, which coincides with the anniversary for the hurricane" but there are plenty of ghost sightings leading up to Halloween, says Sarah.

That hurricane mentioned is the 1900 hurricane that submerged the island. This hurricane is one of the worst natural disasters in recorded human history.  Read more about the deadly hurricane here .

tremont house galveston haunted

According to Sarah, many of the hauntings stem from this hurricane, but some hauntings are also attributed to the saffron scourge.

The saffron scourge was the yellow fever epidemic that ripped through Louisiana and parts of Texas in the 1800s.  

Some places to visit if you're brave

The stories of hauntings draw many people to the island each year in hopes of catching sight of a ghost. There are dozens of buildings and areas around Galveston that people who live there believe are haunted.

"The Broadway Cemetery is undoubtedly the most haunted location. The Moody Mansion and Bishops Palace are also strong contenders," says Sarah.

These 3 locations did make it on the list of the 12 most haunted places in Galveston.

  • The Moody Mansion
  • The Haunted Bishops Palace
  • The Ghosts of Broadway Cemetery
  • The Haunted Galveston Railroad Museum
  • The Ghosts of Ashton Villa
  • The Haunted Mayfield Manor
  • The Haunted Hotel Galvez
  • The Haunted Old City Cemetery
  • The Ghosts of St. Mary's Orphanage
  • The Haunted Stewart's Mansion
  • The Ghosts of the Tremont House Hotel
  • The Haunted Van Alstyne House

tremont house galveston haunted

A chilling tale

Reading through this list did spook me a bit, but I needed more. I wanted chills to shiver down my spine, so I asked Sarah about the creepiest haunting known to Galveston. "My favorite haunting involves the St. Mary's Orphanage! It involves 93 orphans and ten nuns. They're said to haunt Galveston Beach."

On the night of the hurricane, it's believed that ten nuns held tight to 93 orphan children by tying clothes lines around the children and themselves in an effort to save the lives of the children. Out of those 103, only three survived. Many say the 100 lives that perished haunt the beach where they drowned to this day. 

So if you make it to Galveston, don't be surprised if you hear the children laughing and playing on the beach at night.
