Abstract
This paper tried to find the cause of fear by horror games. We prepared two types of horror games whose reality of pictures are changed, and observed the change of autonomic nervous function and the amount of perspiration. As a result, the physiological response to the horror game which has real pictures was scarier. Also, people who are familiar with horror games are scared at several horror scenes in the horror game, whereas the others are not. Additionally, men are afraid of the horror games of real pictures, while women feel scared of horror games of simple pictures.
