>>88247565That's where I'll unfortunately have to take this into fenceshitting "Horror is subjective" territory. I personally thought SH1 was spookier just for having more of a "What the fuck is going on here" element, with 3 having more tense moments/monster variety, and 4 having more "what the fuck" imagery.
As for the remake its sort of a trade off. I definitely think the apartment scare with the guy's corpse in front of the TV was worse than the OG, but I was surprised more by the mannequins on hard mode until I discovered the leg shoot -> melee combo trick.
