WoW is full of zombies, ghosts, monsters, creepy places, blood and gore (more than actual horror game) but … the lil kids playing it without fear. The same kids dont watch horror movies and dont play actual horror games cuz they are scary. Then why the kids are not scared when they play WoW?

Because you are überpowerful and there’s no consequences for dying?
Horror often comes from being helpless or weak in the face of powerful enemies… Just see how many movies involve a regular dude, but he’s stronger and determined to kill the protagonists.
Or the host of horror video games that are based around you just hiding and fleeing from enemies.

Oh hey I recognize you from xpoff/20 twinking, didn’t you post that screen where you killed Nasuada? Funny times.
As for the topic. WoW isn’t a scary game because we don’t have a fear factor when facing these enemies. There is no sense of danger from these mobs unlike in other horror games, with raid bosses being an exception but only because they’re raid bosses and could kill you with one mechanic. There aren’t even scare jumps.
Plenty of kids TV programs have zombies etc. these days. The game is age rating 13+, but most kids will have seen scarier stuff before then.
These things have nothing to do with horror just on their own. It’s all about how you present something. That’s why you can successfully make a middle-aged overweight, mother-looking woman, appear scary in the movie “Misery”.

WoW has some creepy things inside, but it’s too much to call it “Horror game” while you can hunt rabbits around goldshire.
I can’t say I would consider the game a ‘Horror Game’.
These are Horror Games -
Finally.

Esp. on a RP realm. Truly scarier than any zombie story.
I don’t know, have you seen some of their faces? Specially in Classic.
Could give a jumpscare if shown suddenly on your screen with a loud noise.

It’s when they hearthstone they look angry. But most of the races I’ve played all look angry when hearthstoning. Take a look at your characters face when they hearth, the facial expression often it is not happy!
