The SNES Clock Tower is one freaky ass game. Little Bobby with the hedge clippers jumping out of boxes and the walls and the ceiling. Damn, that was freaky. The PSX Clock Tower was freaky too, but not as freaky as the SNES one. Besides, wasn't CT for the PSX really Clock Tower 2 or 1.5 or something in Japan?

I wish the SNES version was released in the US. It would have probably caused quite a stir among parents if it had arrived on American soil, haha! A really messed up game for the SNES for sure!

Haunting Ground can be freaky at times. Those weird noises you hear from the enemy after you've been killed (dunno if Fionna is being eaten or raped). Those weird plants you have to pick up that make odd screeching noises whenever you get one. Also, the ending with Fionna getting captured and impregnated made say to myself, "WTF?"

Also, old guy in wheelchair crashing down stairs FTW.

Technically it is Clock Tower 2, but in Japan I believe it is also called just "Clock Tower" and the other "Clock Tower" got renamed "Clock Tower: First Fear". Also, I don't know if Japan even numbers the "Clock Tower" games because the next game (The Season of The Witch placeholder) was just called "Clock Tower Ghost Head".

The music from Bowser's Castle in SMB1 creeped me out as a little kid, as did pretty much everything in Metroid.

Getting the flashlight in Silent Hill 2 gave me a nice jolt; I expected something to happen but not that.

What happened? The only time I saw somebody play that game they nearly pissed themselves and stopped playing because it wasn't like the nancy drew games.

You get the flashlight from the shirt of a dress mannequin and immediately afterwards, a monster consisting of 2 sets of mannequin legs jumps up off the floor and attacks. What got me was that I did even see it on the floor when I walked in nor did the radio make any noise indicating it was there. The whole thing went like this,

“There’s a flashlight, pick it up?”
“Yes”

Me: “JESUS COKE SNORTIN’ CHRIST!!”

The rest of the game didn’t bother me much after that because I was sort of expecting shit like that from then on.

Speaking of Silent Hill, the part near the end of 4 where you run into Eileen in one of the hospital rooms was a nice surprise as well. Actually for as bad a reputation that game has, the apartment segments during the second half was pretty creepy.

Eh, that part in Silent Hill 2 wasn't that scary for me; the flashlight was somehow reflecting light off of the manniquin on the floor behind it, so I already knew something was there. What scared me in Silent Hill 2 was the first time I went through the prison stage. The fact that there's barely enough room to maneuver and the fact that (based on the big hole that james goes through to get there) the prison is roughly 70 feet below the ground made for a claustrophobic, damp, sick feeling. I just wanted to get out of the prison as fast as possible.

I didn't think Silent Hill 4 was particularly scary, but it certainly had this melancholic feeling going on; I almost felt sorry for Walter, with all of the demonic apparations and visions being the result of his crap childhood.

The bathtub scene from Eternal Darkness... Christ man...

Clocktower is also pretty creepy.

QFT. I loved playing things like Eternal Darkness and Resident Evil at night with the volume up and the lights off, and this scene is the only time a video game every scared me.

I dont know, the mask coming at you in the starting menu of Majoras Mask always scared me for some reason, I always pressed start befoe it came by.

Am I the only one here who never got scared from playing Eternal Darkness? Maybe I was hoping for too much when I first played it, but nonetheless it didn't do anything for me. Confused

Not that it scared me afterwards, but those fucking dogs from the first hallway in RE1, make mu jump EVERY time even though i know its coming i just cant help it. They'll completely slip my mind then SMASH, also the crimson heads from the RE1 remake Chase you if you don't burn them, and it just makes me panic trying to get away from them.

Manhunt was pretty scary the first time I played it. I was so afraid of being seen every time I did a stealth kill on someone cause I was so horrible at fighting in that game that normal enemies would always take a huge amount of health from me every time I had to fight. I also remember the first time in that game that an ememy had repeatedly chased me - I just couldn't find anywhere to hide! That was the first game that really got my blood pumping.

ShyGuys used to creep me out.
I'd imagine them just walking back and forth fingering the edge of a knife.

I don't know why. I think it was the masks.

Evil Otto coming after you in Berserk always scared the shit out of me. That damn creepy smile of his....

There was a part in Manhunt 2 where Daniel (the main character) had to go to this house and pick up some medication stashed there. However, when you walk in the house, you see a ball roll by itself down the stairs, and that pretty much set the tone of the stage for me, i.e. "This stage is going to be a mindfuck." Throughout the level, apparitions appear, usually when you least expect it. The creepiest ones were when you look into a hole in the wall, and see the ghost of this young kid staring right into your soul, as well as when you had to crawl under the stairs in the basement, you saw this kid hiding under there, sobbing.

I wanted to get the hell out of there ASAP. That was almost as creepy as the bathtub scene in Eternal Darkness.

Whats so scary about the Eternal Darkness bathroom scene? Its just a bathtub filled with blood and a woman in it and a scream. But, the Manhunt 2 House Level was creepy.

Well, the fact that I had the volume up to a reasonable level kinda sold the whole "scream" part.

i thought The kid dying in clock tower 3 was kind of odd but that's about it the only game to really to scare me is resident evil rember playing that as a 12 year old kid and getting shit scared out of me

I always thought that part in Parasite Eve (it was during the chapter where you go to central park) where Eve makes the entire audience turn into big fleshy puddles that melt together was pretty psychotic. I dunno, maybe it was because I was only eight at the time, but something about someone losing their identity and just melting to become part of this big fleshy mass scared me.

Headcrabs. Nothing, I repeat, nothing, will make you nearly go into atrial fibrillation like the sound those little fuckers make when they smash into you in the dark at 4 am.

The regular headcrabs can make you jump (especially in small spaces like ventilation shafts), but they're not scary, per se. One swipe of the crowbar kills 'em.

The poison headcrabs, however....once I hear the rattlesnake-like call of that bastard, you better believe I'm looking all over for that prick, shotgun in hand, heart rate skyrocketing.

I think overall, the scariest enemy in HL2 are the fast headcrab zombies. Fast as fuck, can deal a decent amount of damage, scary looking, and have this disturbing scream.

I remember the fast headcrab zombies, those things were psychotic,their screams sounded like a cow being tortured. Sad
