This. I'm a much bigger fan of psychological horror, not pop-up/shock horror. For me the mannequins and the shadow people were the only parts I shat brix at (for me, as I walked into the corridor with the shadow people my light flickered. freaked me the fuck out seeing them flash there, not sure if that was random or intended).
The mannequins just reminded me of the plaster splicers in Bioshock, which
also made me shit brix
Hen, if you're going to make another horror mod my advice is this:
Don't build up a feeling of paranoia just to spoil it with a random "boo" moment. The mannequins had me on the edge of my seat, then a zombie spawned behind me and I was like "oh this again >.>". Same deal with the shadow people.
Another piece of advice, subtler can be better. If you get the player questioning themselves (did I see that? Was this like that before?) it can put them on-edge.
