RE: Weapons or no weapons in horror games?

Oooh you are a tough customer :p

How would you suggest going about disempowering someone without taking away their weapon? It doesn't have to be a gun. Would you use something breakable, atrociously low damage, noisy and attracting to the scary monsters, or something carried that you have to drop to open doors/perform physical tasks? I'm curious what would make a weapon into an interesting mechanic without killing the horror.

Amnesia actually has a pretty decent example where throwing boxes temporarily slows the monsters, but it can't kill them and you have to stop to pick them up, and you run slower when carrying them. Would you consider the boxes a weapon?
