I must be crazy, but the prison didn't scare me *that* much

[Urrah]

I agree, it only took me about 40-50 min to get through the prison. My technique was simple, everytime I passed a door I opened it so that when a monster spawned it would be easy for me to hide.

For me the prison would've been one of the scariest parts in the game (up there with the Choir, the Storage room and the water monster chase) if monsters were constantly patrolling around instead of spawning and despawning. Because monsters disappear I fell into a pattern:

1. Hear monster.
2. Hide.
3. Hear monster music go away.
4. Advance knowing I was no longer in any danger.

While the prison is intense, imo the scripted nature of the scares make it bit of a lost opportunity.
