Scare Tactics: Different forms of delivering Fear and Shock

[Andross]

Nice listing, and a good read. Is there any underlying source material for the mentioned discussion?

I think that disembodied sounds or voices can greatly induce fear. Do you remember the footsteps you hear in various levels of Amnesia, like the running steps in the Rainy Hall or the creaking wood in the Laboratory? Not to mention the Archives, where you hear the Grunt crying and the piano playing. You never know what causes any of these, thus you imagination does most of the work, just like the Deadly shadows- technique.
