In SH and RE, however scary the setting might be, you can clear out all the enemies with effort and be more or less safe. Even when you haven't done so yet, certain rooms are safe havens. Fatal Frame has none of that. You can be attacked anywhere at any time. Ghosts can spawn randomly in most rooms if you hang around too long, save point rooms included.

Yeah, this is why I don't like Fatal Frame. I scare pretty easily, I must say. But random ghosts spawning in rooms you're just browsing around? Fuck, that's scary. It's like the house is alive, or something. I honestly can't and won't play the first game because of things like that.
It depends if the op wants an action horror title, or just a plain horror title. Fatal Frame doesn't have much action going on in it, but it's probably the best "horror" title I've seen.
How ya doing, buddy?
