Who would even play this game ??

Oh boy. Not sure if you saw it but this thread deals with that exact same issue. Me and another user had a long and messy debate about the issue (I was against the notion that it's unhealthy). If you want to read an interesting argument it's not bad (at least everybody was civil for the most part).

Yeah, I read that. ^^

To be more specific on my opinion, one of the reasons I think that overindulgence in horror can be unhealthy for you is because adrenaline, like any drug, can make you addicted. That, combined the tendency of younger people to be more reckless and less conscious of their well-being is what makes me reluctant to recommend horror to kids.

Of course, this is all very individual, and if I had a kid and they were attracted to horror, I would look at their approach to it before anything else. But as a base principle it works.

Horror addiction is more of a symptom than an illness anyway, as most questionable behaviors are.
