If a PC dies, he/she dies, and the party gets smaller, that should increase the horror for the rest of the party, and not taking too much risk to keep the rest alive becomes paramount. It would be the GMs job to adjust the rest of the encounters to account for the party with one less member. I would never play a game (horror or otherwise) where the PCs cannot die - I'd consider that exercise a waste of time.Add to that, those thinking that horror only really works when PCs are at 1st level haven't played in the Kaidan setting of Japanese horror (PFRPG). Here's a free one-shot adventure from Kaidan, called <a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/95894/Frozen-Wind-%28PFRPG%29" target="_blank">Frozen Wind</a> for a party of 4 each, 5th level characters. Using the pregens, there are no healers in the party, except for 1 paladin (and it's not enough). This is a survivor horror adventure - I've run it twice, and once it was almost a TPK, in the other 2 of the 5 died, even after getting some healing. I've got another one-shot (not free) called <a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/107645/Up-From-Darkness-%28PFRPG%29?term=Up+from+Darkness" target="_blank">Up from Darkness</a> built for 4 each, 7th level characters, and due to the reincarnation aspect of the adventure, PCs can expect to die, multiple times in the same adventure. Both are solid adventures for higher level characters built for some real horror gaming...</blockquote>
