     No, Chiller didn't scare me. I wouldn't just call RE "horror." I would 
call it "suspense/horror." There are only two games that have ever scared me 
enough to make me jump and they are Aliens vs. Predator for the Jag and 
Resident Evil for the Saturn/PSX. I wouldn't call AVP horror. To me, the word 
horror means it deals with the whole undead/monster sort of thing and doesn't 
necessarily scare you. I guess it all depends on one's definition of the word 
"horror." I guess I would call RE the first truly fun horror type game.
