I was just recently playing Far Cry and found this effect with lighting and smoke that looked really nice. The engine took whatever light there was and overlaid the lighting on top of the smoke effect. The reason I'm talking about it is because, if it was used in a horror game, I thing it would look really cool. I'm not sure if HPL 2 could support it because Far Cry and Crysis are the only games I've seen use such an effect. All other game's I've played that I can think of have smoke effects as one color, no matter what the lighting seems to be.
Maybe I'm just whining and crap but I at least think it would work really well. Add a little more feeling of fogginess to the environments, maybe?
