Horror games with masks on PlayStation

In these games a mask hides who is coming for you, or it is the thin cover you hide behind yourself. Masked killers stalk woods, cornfields and quiet suburbs, a pulled-on animatronic head may be your only defence through the night, and some masks change whoever wears them. What frightens is the face that never moves: you cannot read it, and you never see what is underneath.
