Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to present to you: HORRIFY Garry's Mod. A smaller than usual Crigence collection dedicated to enhancing Garry's Mod's overall sp00kiness via a thick atmosphere and many small, immersive, and dis-empowering touches! Just in time for Halloween 2023!

HORRIFY Garry's Mod is a collection I've had sitting on the back-burner for far too long now (at least a year) with a simple, yet creative premise: Improve Garry's Mod's horror-factor as much as possible, by enhancing atmosphere, creating an immersive first-person experience, and the addition of new visual and audio effects. As you've probably come to expect from me by now, I had a few priorities that I followed whilst making this (In-order of importance):

• Compatibility with as many horror/adventure maps as possible. Given the fact that this collection is likely to be combined with the experiences of horror maps: Making sure that the maps won't break was a must. And, as far as I can tell, I did a pretty good job at that. The most intrusive part is likely the new movement system, however, maps should certainly still be completable.
  
• Gameplay changes are kept to a minimum. Partly to make the collection as map compatible as possible. For example: Gunplay will feel very different, and much more challenging, however, functionally speaking it's exactly the same as vanilla Garry's Mod.
  
• Atmosphere and immersion is the goal. Many of these add-ons aim to simply enhance the atmosphere of Garry's Mod through various means, be it minor visual effects and details, more realistic soundscapes, and more. Ironically, those who use Beautify Garry's Mod likely already have about ~20% of the collection.
  
• Little-to-no set-up should be required This is something I've always prioritized across all of my collections. One of the biggest advantages to collections is convenience, and I certainly haven't forgotten that.

Be sure to take these priorities into account before hitting that 'Subscribe to all' button, though the terms are rather lax. The entire collection is probably only ~450 mbs anyway, and most of that comes from the sounds section.

For those who'd like to know what they're getting into, as you should, I did you the courtesy of listing everything this collection changes, and some of the add-ons you have to thank. Feel free to take a look, and decide for yourself what you like or don't like:

[NOTE: List seen below is also the order of which add-ons are sorted in the collection itself]

• MASSIVE improvements to first-person immersion w/ effects and movement mods. These are at the top for a reason--These are the most noticeable and impactful changes, and should aid in immersion greatly even alone. Your head bobs on movement and isn't always centered to your gun's aim, your movement overall is much more akin to the NPCs, you can only sprint forwards, etc.
  
• Small improvements to gun-feel, primarily for the Half-Life 2 weapons. Previously, I classified this as being "first-person improvements," but to elaborate further on what you'll be getting: Small *cosmetic-only* improvements have been made to the Half-Life 2 guns, including the crowbar. Since so many maps, including horror maps, make use of these, I found it imperative to make them FEEL better, though only visually as to not affect the intended experience.
  
• Spooky randomly occurring gameplay events, thanks to [GM] Paranormal Events. These random events include a lot of neat stuff I won't spoil here, as to not spoil the surprise, but none of them should interfere with any horror maps you may be playing. Still, on default settings, the events are a bit ridiculous, so if you want the best possible Horrify Garry's Mod experience I would recommend reading this thread for a one-line console command that will bring them to a more subtle, minimal level.
  
• Many new immersive effects, thanks to Dynamic Light Controller + Basic Features, Water System, etc. Your actions have consequences, and these effects are focused on emphasizing just that, making for a more involved and immersive experience.
  
• Improved world interactivity, thanks to Improved Prop Interact, Light Break, etc. Good horror maps -- Actually, good Garry's Mod adventure maps in-general -- use props wisely to make the environment feel more interactive and living. This part of the collection focuses on making the props more interactive, and improving your ability to manipulate/toy with them.
  
• MASSIVELY improved soundscapes, thanks to Enhanced Audio Resources, Minecraft - Cave Sound, etc. Sound is a HUGE part of horror, and good maps know this. However, most of us have heard Garry's Mod's sounds so many times now that they lost all impact. This section changes that with revamped sounds, NEW audio effects, and more!
  
• Improvements to third-person visuals, thanks to wOS, IKFoot, Automatic Player Looking, etc. It's generally not recommended to play any G-mod horror map in third-person, as not only will it be less immersive and can cause bugs, but you'll also miss out on all my "hardwork" on firstperson. However, if you decide to play one of the handful of multiplayer horror maps, then these improvements will help make the players around you feel MUCH more like humans.
  
• There's also a horror map icon pack at the bottom of this collection. Because why not? You'll probably be needing it anyway.

This collection may or may not be updated if I can find more good add-ons. Also note that you're free to comment on the collection here if you would like to share your thoughts or suggestions.
