I haven't played those and I don't really know what they are about. Something to do with CCTV cameras maybe.

I want to see a horror game starring Mr Blobby.
I think Japanese creators excel at this. Manga such as Dolly Kill Kill and others featuring killers disguised as mascot dolls are especially good at blending cuteness with creepiness. Although the plot is heavily drug-focused, it probably isn’t for everyone
not particularly, no. i really love animatronics and think they are perhaps the coolest practical effect that can be used in films and shows, especially horror films. but ones specifically about animatronics like FNAF and such, nah.
im not sure why but the "killer mascot" trope simply leaves me cold.

Perhaps its like "zombies" and is overused and all too predictable?

No, that theme of horror tends to appeal more to children than it would to me. I haven't looked at games like that and thought: "Yeah, I want to get chased by Chuck E. Cheese".

it is definitely overused. FNAF was cute when it came out because the juxtaposition of cutesy mascot characters + horror was still relatively rare. since its release it exploded into absurd popularity and spawned two dozen sequels, films, books and a hundred copycats. and from the ones i have played/watched, they are all pretty much the same.

I'm personally not into it.

I suppose the point of mascot horror is to circle back to when people were in their youth, and some people had phobias of mascots. Kind of like a phobia of clowns.

I always thought mascots were just a nuisance and I would feel bad for the person whose job it was to have to live in that suit.

I guess if they were a sports mascot, that would be kind of cool to be able to be on the field or something and get to see all the games. But, it would only be enjoyable for someone who was already interested in the sport
No, looks more weird then scary.
