The way you have to say “Candyman” five times before he appears, room number 237 in The Shining where everything and anything horrific happens to the family looking after the hotel, and Friday the 13th Part 7 for just… being a terrible train wreck of a film. Well, Wales Interactive have brought us a new horror title, and it has a number in the title too. But is it as scary as a pair of twin girls in a hallway, or about as terrifying as your uncle with a sheet over his head moaning in the downstairs cupboard?"
You might think the Switch is only for Mario and the gang but these 10 titles are terrifying, creepy, and downright unsettling when it comes to portable gaming.
Give me hope. Give me fear. Don't give me another walking simulator...
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Sadly, we live in a day and age in which not many horror games are released, and among those the good are few and far between. Sure, we have some good exceptions such as Resident Evil VII, The Evil Within 2, and Detention, but we’re also getting a ton of games completely plagued with lots and lots of frustrating horror game clichés."

How about turning them into action shooters with tons of ammo at your disposal and your character an unstoppable bullet magnet...
