Right off the bat, I was thinking something co-op, but now that you mention point-and-click I'm having trouble with thinking of something. I know of a few good co-op games:
-Half-Life (when you load up the singleplayer maps in a multiplayer server)
-Sven Coop (a Half-Life cooperative mod with plenty of other mods involved. Plenty of horror-based mods, but keep the number of players very low if you want to actually be scared.)
-TF2 (Mann VS Machine mode, specifically.)
-Left 4 Dead and L4D2 (do I really need to explain this?)
-Counter-Strike and its derivatives (because playing against bots is fun)
-Minecraft (assuming everyone doesn't just kill each other. The beauty of Minecraft is that there are a billion different clones, and you can't throw a cube of dirt without hitting ten of them.)
-Alien Swarm (IIRC it's free if you own any Source-engined game, and it's generally amazing. Too bad the top-down perspective ruins any possible horror elements.)
-Quake and its assorted mods (you probably already know all about Quake, where you can get it, what it could cost, etc, etc. I personally liked the Twisted Xmas map/mod.)
-Killing Floor (the quintessential "shoot horrible things to survive each round" game, not for little kids but also not for hardcore horror gamers who aren't scared by anything.)
-Any given GTA multiplayer mod (although the multiplayer mods for GTA3 and GTA Vice City are essentally dead, you can have a lot of fun in the GTA San Andreas multiplayer mods; there are two competing mods, and I personally prefer Multi Theft Auto for its extremely polished feel. Just try not to join "play" or "sandbox" servers, those tend to be filled with psychopaths and sociopaths.)
-Egoboo (not scary by any means, but an amazing game in both co-op and singleplayer modes; free and open-source, but the graphics may be a little lacking if you're used to Crysis 2 or Skyrim. Just go get it, it has a Sourceforge page!)
-Cube and its derivatives (because it's free, open-source, a lot of fun, and will run at 60 FPS on a toaster)
-Counter-Strike 2D and its derivatives (sounds bad, plays well. Free, probably open-source, and will run at 60 FPS on a toaster.)
-Subvein (a teambased top-down shooter with weapons, vehicles, and abilities like crazy. IIRC there's at least one cooperative mode. Free open-source, and plays sort of like GTA 2 without the traffic.)
-Marathon Infinity (ever heard of Marathon, the FPS that came before Halo? Well now you have, and now it's free and open-source. Marathon Infinity is basically Marathon and Durandal packed together with multiplayer goodness.)
-Shoot First (Rogue meets top-down-shooter meets cooperative gameplay meets monochrome monitors. Free, open-source, and will run fairly decently on a toaster, but try not to crowd the keyboard.)
-Mari0 (not to be confused with the classic platformer, Mari0 is a clone of the classic platformer that involves the Portal Gun and does co-op nicely. Free, open-source, and will run well on a toaster, but don't crowd the keyboard.)
-FOnline 2 (Fallout/Fallout 2 multiplayer mod. Other players will generally ignore you, but with some luck you can find someone who will help you; the only problem is meeting up at the same areas without being mangled by random encounters. You loose all of your inventory items when you die, and it takes awhile to respawn, but you keep your skills, XP, and traits.)

I've also got some point-and-click recommendations for you:
-Brain Hotel and the Nick Bounty games (flash games by this one guy, goes by something crustacean-based for his company name. All of his games can be downloaded for free off of his website.)
-Out Of Order (if you have trouble finding it, just grab "Game Downloader 3.9")
-That one free episode of Sam and Max, "Abe Lincoln Must Die!". (I don't think I need to explain why.)
