PUZZLE #202: Nonplussed 2

PUZZLE #202

NONPLUSSED 2

Happy two-days-before-Halloween! Last year, I didn't really do anything suitable for the season on this blog, but not this time! Not only is the FINAL ANSWER appropriately horror-themed, but it's from a puzzle that's metaphorically rising from its grave, as it hasn't been seen for over three years! Since it's been so long since this original type of puzzle appeared, read on for a refresher on how to solve it!

The answers in this puzzle are entered in two ways: the fifteen numbered rows have one or two answers that read left to right (even the two rows that only have one letter in it), and the plusses have five-letter answers that read left to right beginning in the top row (exactly like how they're entered in Pent Words). The clues for the plusses are split up into two groups: white plusses and gray plusses. Answers to those clues should be placed in their respectively-colored plus, though you have to use the Rows' answers to find out where each plus answer is located.

There are two unclued rows in this puzzle; combine them to get this week's FINAL ANSWER: the name of a horror video game
