Action Horror	comment	Oh, no! Monsters are attacking! The shadows are filled with creatures that want to drink your blood and consume your flesh! The Virus has transformed most of humanity into ravenous creatures! Malicious spirits and demons want to take control of your body and feast on your soul! What do you do in a situation like this? Run for your life? Cower in fear and pray they don't find you? Hell no. You run to the gun rack and fight back with everything you've got. Action Horror is a subgenre of Horror that, as the name suggests, adds very strong elements of the Action Genre. The Nightmare Fuel is real, and the monsters are extremely potent and would be absolutely terrifying in a straightforward horror story, but the difference is, instead of the protagonists being ordinary people in way over their heads, they are prepared to fight back. Oftentimes, though not always, they'll be police officers, soldiers, Hunters of Monsters, or others trained in the use of weapons and capable of taking down the monsters in front of them. This is still horror, however, and so, to keep things scary, the monster threat level will often be adjusted accordingly. Instead of one bad guy, it may be a horde of them that the protagonists, as capable as they are, may be overwhelmed by through sheer numbers. Or, it might be an Eldritch Abomination or a kaiju that the protagonists face, a monster where just guns and explosives probably won't cut it. Oftentimes, the villain will be capable of ending the world, or at least a large portion of it. Either way, expect the bad guys in action horror to be very tough. The gorn, too, will often be spectacular as a way of demonstrating just how dangerous and lethal the villains are. A good guide here would be to compare Alien to Aliens: the Space Marines in the latter film likely could've easily triumphed over the lone xenomorph in the first film, but against an entire hive of xenomorphs, they found themselves struggling to survive. The combination of horror aesthetics with action scenes and gameplay leads to a lot of overlap with Scifi Horror, Lovecraft Lite, and Dark Fantasy, especially in those stories where the protagonists stand a fighting chance. Often the result of an Actionized Sequel to a horror story. Many Superhero Horror stories overlap with this subgenre in their mix of superhero action with horror tropes, as do many Weird West stories that do the same with Wild West gunslinging. Compare and contrast with Survival Horror. It's important to note that while some survival horror works include combat, there's rarely an emphasis on action sequences and the protagonist will usually be better off running, hiding and sparing ammunition (in some cases they can't fight back at all). The Survival Horror page has some detailed guidelines on the distinction between that subgenre and this one.

Action Horror / int_346db4d5	comment	The Suffering runs on this trope. The game's designer Richard Rouse III explicitly described it as this trope in order to distinguish it from survival horror games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Fatal Frame. The protagonist Torque begins the game as a death row inmate who's just arrived at Abbott State Penitentiary, a maximum security facility on Carnate Island off the coast of Maryland for monsters like him. It turns out that the other murderers and violent criminals are the least of Torque's problems, as an earthquake causes hundreds of strange, violent creatures called Malefactors based on various historical execution methods to descend on the island, slaughtering the convicts and guards alike. Sound like a Survival Horror game? Nope. While Torque starts the game with nothing but a prison shiv, he later upgrades to revolvers, tommy guns, and even an improvised flamethrower to send the misbegotten creatures back to hell. Oh, and that bit about Torque being a monster? It's literal. He fills up a meter when he attacks, and when it's full, he can turn on his Superpowered Evil Side to rip enemies apart with his bare hands. The sequel The Suffering: Ties That Bind takes the action to the streets of Baltimore as they are overrun by Malefactors, which now include some new ones drawing on the city's sordid history of crime and urban decay.

The main difference from Five Nights at Freddy's is that he's played here by Nicolas Cage as a laconic drifter whose response to the animatronics isn't to hide in the security office, but to singlehandedly demolish them with anything he can get his hands on.

Action Horror / int_7785278d	comment	The BioShock games feature this as part of their formula. BioShock 1 leans more towards horror, especially in the early levels. The protagonist is the survivor of a plane crash who found shelter in an underwater city whose inhabitants have been turned into mad, grotesque monsters thanks to overuse of gene splicing run amok. Greater action elements come in as the protagonist starts using those gene mods himself to gain superhuman powers, as well as acquiring a greater arsenal of weapons. BioShock 2 leans more towards action due to the Player Character this time being a specified type of Big Daddy, a superhuman protector of the Little Sisters who harvest ADAM from the city's corpses. The enemies you face, meanwhile, have grown increasingly mutated and powerful over the years. BioShock Infinite is the most action-heavy game in the series, with most of the horror being of the real-world sort in the story's focus on the villains' bigotry.

The first game was a Divorced Installment of the Resident Evil series that was made into its own game series because the developers thought it was too action-heavy to be a mainline RE title, and it takes place in a dark, Haunted Castle that at times feels claustrophobic, with the looming presence of Mundus felt in every hallway and area. Devil May Cry 5 gives the demons a more photorealistic, grotesque and disturbing appearance, similar to the monsters from the RE games that utilize Capcom's RE Engine.

Regina and new protagonist Dylan have access to much better weaponry, ammo and recovery items are no longer scarce as you could simply buy it from a shop whose terminals are relatively commonplace, the environment is generally far less claustrophic (thus making it easier to spot enemies early and react in time... usually, that is), and puzzle-solving has been de-emphasized; to compensate, instead of non-boss enemies being usually encountered solo or in pairs at a time, most areas now casually throw 3-4 dinos at you all at once over and over until you've killed about a dozen or two, and the newly introduced Allosaurus serves as a mini-boss of sorts in several areas that can tank a lot of damage and deal a whole lot of it in turn, especially when it goes berserk.

Action Horror / int_dcb78c8c	comment	The Resistance series of Military Science Fiction FPS games took a more horror-focused approach than comparable titles like Halo, Gears of War, and Killzone, between its '40s/'50s Diesel Punk setting and an Alien Invasion that was filled with a lot more Body Horror than the Covenant. While the second game toned it down in favor of a focus on action and spectacle, the third game went even harder in this direction with its post-apocalyptic setting.

While he's there, Dr. Reinhardt reads from the Necronomicon and ends up unleashing another horde of Deadites that Ash has to kill with naught but his chainsaw and boomstick, while receiving assistance in the form of a half-Deadite named Sam.

Action Horror / int_ddeddf10	comment	War of the Worlds (2005) is a Disaster Movie take on the idea, one that takes the basic Alien Invasion premise of H. G. Wells' original novel and plays it for horror. Scenes of aliens destroying a city, battling the Army, and attacking a ferry boat are all depicted from the perspective of an ordinary father and his kids trying to survive, who find themselves helpless and terrified in a manner evocative of the 9/11 attacks.

The result: mercenaries in Central America in the first film, LAPD cops and gangsters in the second, a motley crew of soldiers and criminals in the third, the US military in the fourth, and a group of Comanche warriors in the fifth all thrust into a Hunting the Most Dangerous Game scenario against aliens who hunt like Slasher Movie killers, saving the laser blasters for emergencies in favor of blades that make the fight more fair and interesting.

Action Horror / int_f17c3b1d	comment	The start of Dead Rising leans more into Survival Horror with the protagonist Frank West outmatched by the hundreds of zombies around him, but the moment he starts to level up, the zombies become about as dangerous as the individual mooks in a Dynasty Warriors game. The sequels, which provide players access to increasingly powerful combo weapons, are basically Hack-and-Slashes with a Zombie Apocalypse theme. That said, while zombies in this series exist to get splattered in increasingly outlandish ways, the human enemies are far more dangerous, and the human survivors you escort are not nearly as capable of kicking zombie ass as the games' protagonists.

Action Horror / int_f18fe36a	comment	Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, after spending most of its campaign as an Action-Adventure game with a prodigious arsenal of guns, dips heavily into this during its final act after The Reveal of the true nature of the treasure the main characters have been searching for. El Dorado is actually a golden sarcophagus containing a corpse infected with a zombie plague. The entire time, the characters have been stalked by the zombified remnants of the Spanish colonists who discovered El Dorado, and while their presence had been foreshadowed throughout the game, it's here where they make their grand entrance and force Nathan and Eddy to work together to survive, escape the island, and make sure the curse of El Dorado doesn't escape with them. The "action" side comes in not just with the game maintaining its focus on gunplay, but with the main villain Navarro revealing that he knew about the plague the entire time and was searching for El Dorado in hopes of selling it as a bioweapon, and continuing to send his mercenaries to stop you (at times leading to a MÃªlÃ©e Ã Trois between you, the mercs, and the zombies).

(Plus numerous other dangers like parasitic mold, a mirror dimension housing an evil doppelganger, and a refrigerator possessed by a giant tentacle monster.) Opposing them is Jesse, an Action Girl wielding telekinetic powers and a shapeshifting gun with infinite ammo. Her allies include an entity that's set up shop inside her brain, a giant inverted pyramid, and a creepy custodian who's not entirely human. It's equal parts unsettling, darkly comedic, and badass.
