the stupid or inappropriate music thing is just... so good and so fun may i recommend simple and clean?
you can also watch or read interviews with the devs, stuff where they talk about how they made the game, concepts, joking around about the characters and enemies
you can also put on a playthru of somebody else playing the same game, you can listen to while you play so you don't feel alone, or talk to somebody thru mic or something while you play

MIDNIGHT LOOMING, TRAPPED BY DESPERATION TO REMAIN
Calling monsters the dumbest names imaginable is extremely effective. I played Pacify with a friend during Halloween and trust me, calling the main monster “best girl” and “waifu” drastically decreases the spook factor. It actually ruined the atmosphere lmao.
If it’s a singleplayer game, chatting with a friend or doing a screenshare makes you feel much less alone, and you can also joke with them. I really want to play Lost in Vivo at some point, but it’s the scariest game I currently know of, so this is how I’m planning on tackling it.
It also helps to approach the game from a perspective where you want to learn about it or appreciate its artistic merit. There’s a ton of thought that goes into good horror games in terms of visual and audio design, so being scared isn’t so bad when you’re fascinated at the same time.

i'm the last person to be giving tips seeing as i'm terrified of just about everything that moves (big coward energy) but
i agree with the insult w/someone else and dumb music methods. just ruin the atmosphere, man. scary tv head comes after you? yell at it that the worst thing abt it is the 10-minute ad breaks it plays. only 5-inch screen? terrifying.
similarly, the spongebob meme where the guy runs after them yelling 'CHOCOLATE' would work over a monster chasing you, too. he just really likes chocolate, man.
i personally love looking at what went into a game, too, so i like to watch clips of horror games to see what their makers did- echoing above again. being chased by a grotesque demon in a dark corridor in a diplidated mansion while it roars and makes loud thumping footsteps with a single, tense, high-pitched string playing (or with some deep, resonating drums or like during the chase)... it gets old quickly. how do the devs make it fresh, and what tropes do they carry over from the stereotype anyways? what's the best medium for horror? (VR, duh). how can they keep it unique, keep it a challenge when you inevitably outsmart the beast? or do they not?

Look up videos of people playing the game. Come up with stupid nicknames for the monsters. FNAF 3 is much less scary when you're watching Markiplier call Springtrap by an alliterative nickname I can't repeat here because it has at least two pieces of profanity.

Playing elevator music works wonders.
Talking to the monsters helps quite a bit.
Asking them questions helps even more.
If you're playing Fatal Frame, going shiny hunting is also a fun thing to do...most of the time. (And I mean shiny as in 'ooooo, shiny~' Not pokemon shiny.)
Make fun of game mechanics.
Complain to the monsters how they're ruining your night.
I have loads of things I do, man. Mostly because I play Fatal Frame, and that's THE scariest game I have ever seen/played.

1) Call them names.
Yeah, insulting a monster you're hiding from can be quite cathartic and gets the stress out of your system a bit. Though, it can backfire if that's the moment the monsters decides your entrails look tasty.
2) Imagine them with inappropriate voice
And by that, I mean imagine this big hulking monster with this high-pitched squeaky chipmunk voice, making dumb comments while it's looking for you.
3) Have a youtube list of silly music for when the monster turns up.
Yakety Sax is my go-to, it always makes chases funny, but any music that makes you happy/giggle is good, too. Though...that could backfire, too.
4) The Guaranteed Method of survival
Uninstall the game. Can't get you if you just don't play :P

I love doing this lol, but the 4th one got me XD
