I think the Aliens movies are a type of horror film, but the aliens are going against well armed and motivated troops at time and it is more a jump scare fire fight feeling than supernatural horror.That reminds me of the AD&D games I use to run when I started 40 years ago. Encounters, traps, etc. were not balanced and XP came from gold, so fighting was dumb and to be avoided.I think it is important to remove yourself from the common tropes and think of how you would run a horror game instead of imagining how your current group would use their current characters and play a horror game.I linked Eldritch Tales (first link in my post up above). Perfectly serviceable 0e core with a layer of settings rules for horror. Certainly D&D.</blockquote>
