GURPS Horror 3e - how broadly useful?

[Moulin Rogue]

With Hallowe'en coming up, I don't know if I wanna wait a couple months to see what Mongoose has in their OGL Horror book. I already have CoC d20 and there's some advice on running a scary campaign in there, but I hear good things about GURPS Horror 3e as well. So I ask:

how much of it is GURPS-specific stats, and how much of it is general advice on how to freak out your players?

I'd say it was about a 50/50 combination. I think d20 CoC and BRP CoC had better advice myself. None the less I did really like GURPS horror and use it a great deal when I do run GURPS.

Horror 3e was written by Kenneth Hite himself - and is IMHO the best book on "how to roleplay/GM horror" on the market. While it does contain some GURPS stats for various character types and monsters, most of it (about 70%) is chockfull of great gaming ideas - even the monsters should be easily adaptable to other systems (and I'm not just saying this because I wrote some of them myself )
