Someone said this to me on Tumblr after I posted about The Living Dead 2 saying the mansion in Resident Evil was haunted. "haunted can also mean to show signs of mental anguish or torment - or just freakin' spooky. And, if you did play the first 1996 Resident Evil, that mansion is pretty freakin' spooky"
First of all, I have played it. I own all the main Resident Evil games. I know exactly what the mansion looks like. It's CREEPY. Not haunted. You cannot substitute one for the other. Because then this happens (I posted this on Tumblr after that):
Seriously, if we’re going to use “haunted” as another word for “creepy,” then here.
The mansion in Resident Evil was haunted.
The apartment building James enters in Silent Hill 2? Haunted.
The Ishimura in Dead Space? Haunted.
The hospital in Siren? Haunted.
The college in Obscure 2? You guessed it. Haunted.
Every location in Eternal Darkness was haunted, too.
…See why that becomes an issue? It’s misleading.
You know which location WAS haunted? The Himuro mansion in Fatal Frame.
And almost every area in Silent Hill 4. And probably Kuon, I don’t know, I got scared and turned that game off.
AND THE GHOST HOUSE IN SUPER MARIO WORLD. Almost forgot that one.
