Colors and aesthetics: Horror overlays tend to contain a darker color palette than some brightly colored overlays. If you are a fan of a darker aesthetic, or just prefer dark mode over light mode, then Horror overlays are something to consider for your stream. Not only can they be atmospheric, they can also be minimalistic with subtle hints of color in reds, greens, purples and shades of black to grey. 

Games and content: Scary overlays are a perfect match to games such as Resident Evil, Until Dawn, Dead By Daylight and more. They can be used along with sound effects and stream alerts to create a sense of foreboding and tension that pulls in the viewer.
