Not universally but most games benefit a good deal from a thoughtfully made and placed horror section or having a horror subtext or as a secondary or tertiary genre/theme.

And no zombies, vampires or werewolves or generally Halloween stuff almost never count.

When a game takes lessons from the greats of horror for an area or permeates little bits of of it throughout the game...absolutely wonderful.

A Hat in Time
Metriod Prime series
Earthbound
Half life 2
Etrian Odyssey IV
Some Legend of Zelda Games

Even pokemon has its moments.

And many others.

Only if the devs know what they're doing.

Half-life 2 and Ravenholm are probably the gold standard for "surprise bitch it's Silent Hill."

A Hat in Time is what I thought of. The horror house bit might be my favourite bit from that game. It was hilarious how hard it went.

Yeah, I always like it when games include a little bit of creepiness.

Going to D even though it's often good, I wouldn't go as far as to say it's something most games should aspire to. I'd even say being unexpected can be part of the thrill. This won't happen if it's everywhere.

Horror as a genre is at a disadvantage. You buy these things ready for it and are fully aware as it tries to build up. With primarily non-horror, it really kan be a surprise. Or involve characters/plot you actually got invested in.

The horror levels in platformers tend to be some of my favorites lol. Any game segmented into individual levels needs at least one "Mad Monster Mansion" or "Big Boo's Haunt"

Pretty good argument against TC since that level is such absolute fucking garbage, so I'll counter it with the Boys of Silence from Bioshock Infinite. Way better than the rest of the game.
