Nancy Drew Games question?

I'm looking for a new Nancy Drew game. Which one would be best?
I already have:
Secrets Can Kill (liked)
Stay Tuned For Danger (liked)
Secret of the Scarlet Hand (didn't like)
White Wolf of Icicle Creek (it was ok)
Ransom of the Seven Ships (didn't like)
Shadow at the Water's Edge (liked A LOT)

I REALLY like games that have:
Ghosts
Creepy stuff is AWESOME!
I like anything that has to do with the arts (theatre, art, fashion, cooking, etc.)
Lots of conversation (I'm weird lol)
Long games
Mildly challenging

Don't like:
Really really challenging
Short
Bad graphics (some exceptions)
Not scary
Lots of science elements (wasn't a big fan of Secret of the Scarlet Hand)

Thanks in advance!

Treasure in a Royal tower is one of my favorites. I wouldn't say its a completely scary game because it's supposed to be in a nice hotel, but there were times where I felt on edge (like in the library).. It has enough talking and although it's more on History with the French Revolution, it's still really interesting!

Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake. That title should have caught your eye right away since it says GHOSTS. It's totally creepy. It is a bit on the easy side (absolutely no walkthrough necessary to beat it) but it shouldn't be short (especially your first time playing). not a LOT of talking to be honest because there aren't a lot of characters but you do get to talk (so don't think you'll get no characters like Ransom of the Seven Ships or anything...)

Secret of the Shadow Ranch. Not exactly a creepy theme to be honest. It takes place in Arizona so it's bright and sunny, but some scenes can be creepy-ish. The point is that you shouldn't miss out on this game. It's one of Herinteractive's top games (the top 3 are Royal Tower, This one, and Curse of Blackmoor manor).

Which leads me to.. Curse of Blackmoor Manor. Absolutely, hands down, my favorite. I would say it is just as fun as Shadow at Water's Edge but since it's older, the graphics are a little downgraded and its still diferent. You go to England so instead of japanese culture, you experiance Britians. (a bit). One of their CREEPIEST games of all and it's a more gothic theme. Long and a fun type of challenge. Try this first!

Legend of the Crystal Skull. Another creepy/gothic theme. This one is COMPELTELY creepy. The house you stay in has a CEMETERY in their backyard! So you get to go through the cemetary and find stuff and... other things. A lot of talking goes on and there are plenty of characters! Also you don't JUST get to be Nancy drew but her best friend, Bess! You don't get to actually see her in this but you know what she looks like. She honestly has her personality shown the most in this game. You'll see. =]

I should probably include The Final Scene. It's creepy because you're timed 3 days to rescue a kidnapped friend from a theater thats going to be demolished. I honestly didn't enjoy this as much but LOVED learning about magic tricks and doing things like going through trap doors and stuff. I would play it but, to me, it wasn't as FUN as the other ones. (Still worth playing though!)

Warnings at Waverly Academy is great! not a ghost themed or spooky themed but it can have it's moments. Its one of their new ones so the graphics are amazing. You also have to talk to probably over 10 characters (theres quite a lot!) so (for you) you'd really love that part. You can make snacks for people so there's cooking involved. And it has a lot of literature references (especially to Edgar Alan Poe).

The Haunting of Castle malloy was one that everyone else seemed to enjoy but I honestly hated the game. You have to walk around outside and you see nancy from the top view which felt cheesy to me (it took away from the point-click gamestyle). It's VERY spooky but the game itself felt weak to me. Also there is a LOT of Chemicals you will have to handle at the end. So you'd have to decipher what many elements stand for and sort them in categories. If you're not interested in Chemistry you'd hate this. Actually, I LOVE Chemistry yet I hated that part... I would play it if you had the free time to play all the games (like I try to do) but don't be rushing to find it immediately or anything like that.
