By old, I mean pre-2000. I can barely remember playing it.

It had a first person perspective was a first-person shooter, was horror-themed, in a haunted house, etc.
You fought generic horror monsters, blah blah, you started out in I guess a parlor of some sort and there was a bookshelf that, when moved, revealed a hidden passage.

There were a shitload of weapons, the default was a pistol or something and early on you had to defeat some witch thing to get a wand. After that is a blank.

Edit: Also, eyeball monsters. I think.

The only name that comes to mind is "Mr. Bones" but I can't find anything similar with that.

Help? Out of the three old PC games I used to love (this, Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail and The 11th Hour), this is the only one whose name I can't remember.

Given the release dates of the above games, I'd place it at a 1994-1996 release time frame.

Sounds sort of like Grim Fandango, but I never played it, so I'm not sure

No, no, completely different. I recall Grim Fandango being like the Monkey Island games. baddood;

Also, drastically different setting. Seriously.

I am convinced I will never find this game. :'(

Blood is kind of similar, but I don't think there was a pitchfork. akudood;

Classic

I wanna say Clocktower, but that's not even in the question.  akudood;

Samus Aran

Nightmare Creatures? I remember it being generic like you said but I don't remember if it was first-person.

I tried something like that (but on GameFAQS) and didn't get very far since I haven't a damn clue what the game's actual name was and I know only a general idea of its release date. :'(

and from the looks of this list, i'll be searching for all eternity akudood;
