This mother fucker every time.

I'm still not sure why this chair scared me so much, for some reason I always thought if you put in the right date something would grab you.

>>693218
Pfft

dont know why, but this thing to this day makes me feel very unsettled

Hypno's cry in Pokémon R/B/Y always felt really unsettling to hear as a kid.

the horror...

>>693307
More like wtf...

>>693261
Oh dammit, i never noticed a shark in there.

>>693261
Why afraid? it's emprisoned.

Your planet shall be... Punished.

>>693407
Could you try saying that again, but with one less chromosome?

>>693427

Only enemy you can legit die to in the game (Unless stealing/ grinding for the bow/ an acron/ piece of power).

all of Shadowman for the N64
I'll never touch this game again, lol.

apart from that, I had a donkey kong GB game as a kid and there a particular underwater level where there were a lot of Nautilus creatures who chased you spreading their arms fast after you every move they make. since then, I have a terrible octopus phobia.

>>693427

It was skull between life bars and when player die it eyes go red and start going yeeeyeee. Was on super nintendo but can't remember

I shat a brick. Turned off my Saturn and didn't play it for days. Eventually I plucked up the courage to play again and loved it.

>>693684
holy shit... i was so scared of level 2 on the hard route just because of this, the fact that they follow you to crush in your face didnt help

>>693746

You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

>>693764

These things are why I didn't beat SA2 for the longest. Not only do they look creepy, they always pop out of nowhere.

>>693356
I came here looking for this.

>>693798

Oh hey, lets play this fun game where you explore the sea as a dolphin.

Up until this point, the only pre-rendered FMVs I'd seen were in Tekken. 0/10 would not experience again

You all know which level.

Also the fucking level when you have to turn the power back on by opening the fridge in the kitchen. I could never see the ghosts and the awkward camera angle made it worse then out of no where BOGGA BOGGA BOGGA.

>>694124

>>694090
Have you seen the uncut version?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts-eWJZplNQ

This guy just rustled my soul a lot.

Bitches don't know.

I cannot describe how shocking it was to see this cover at the age of like 7 or 8.

i remember playing it a while back (don't even remember the last time), and it still makes me chill a little.

I had seen some gameplays on youtube and the game it's not so bad if you think it's a movie-based game.

And don't even make me even talk about the sega CD cover. much worse holy fuck.

>>693798

The game was a nightmare factory. The music, the stress, the difficulty, not to mention the fucking plot.

>>694230

The game was made of stress. Like a core gameplay mechanic was " You will not survive if you stay in the areas that you need to do things in to continue". That was always hanging over your head.

Surprised that nobody has posted this

>>694268

Bogeyman was worse.

>>694174
I actually fucking cried when I got this. Jobe is just terrifying and the VR segments were just uncanny valley all over.

To this day, because of this game, I have an irrational fear of biohazard symbols.

>>693356

Im hunger.

>>693412
Yeah? Well Queen don't seem to think I'll let you do that, Ming!

I remember thinking the Wallmasters in LoZ were sorta scary when I was a kid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0aoqbDNKaA

pure nightmare fuel for me

>>694238
Oh shit, this!!

I loved that game.

zero the kamikaze squirrel

fucking tunnels level there are this fucking plants you have to bounce on

one time i just kept bounding on them and it sucked me in and spat out bones

I had kind of a creepy experience with a game that when I was a kid that really stuck with me. This must have been very early 90s at least, so the dawn of 3D games on PC. The game was called Lightspeed, by Microprose. It was a little complicated for me at the time, and I was more interested in trying to blow things up. The game had some animated scenes where you spoke to aliens in addition to the 3D graphics. The aliens themselves were sort of disturbing, like one goat race that asked you "Are you a male of your species?" before seemingly jerking off while you talk to him. Another race was a bunch of slave traders who you could sell your own space station to in exchange for a really nice ship. Couldn't find a good example of the art of the game.

Anyway, I got my butt typically kicked most of the time. One day, I discovered I could glitch the escape pod to give myself infinite missiles. So I proceeded to go around killing EVERYONE. I don't remember how far I got. I ended up running into the Jot, which were one of the stronger races, but I hadn't had a lot of experience dealing with them.

So while attacking, I accidentally sent out a probe to communicate. The comm screen popped up displaying the Jot, which from memory were these light blue balloon-headed ugly guys. The one I was talking to reached up, tore it's head in half to reveal another head inside, which said "DIE!". I turned that computer off and never played that game again.

>>694516
I remember playing the shit out of that.

Don't remember the Jot, or any head ripping aliens though. Pics or that didn't happen.

>>694638
I barely remember any of the aliens in the game, since I stopped playing after that. I am sure it is not as scary as my memories make it out to be, but some silly things are scary when you're a kid. The Jot, or whatever they were called, seemed fairly normal until I got up to that point. There were a couple of alien races that I very rarely ran into before that, like the nomad, who would tell you what a particular race's "sin" was. I only ran into that guy about once, and couldn't find him again.

Since I am really sure that this happened when I was messing with the escape pod bug, it doesn't seem like something I would imagine, although I must have been around 10 or so at the time. I'm not crazy...I think.

I actually looked around for pics of the alien races, and had a hell of a time finding any. There was a youtube vid up of a couple, but I only vaguely remember them. I read that there were two star systems, so maybe there were different races in the two of them?

I remember as a kid, dreading returning to the mask salesman below the clock tower in MM. I knew, I KNEW I had to go there to advance the game and become human. I also knew that I didn't have his mask, and he was going to be very very pissed about that. So the part where he reaches his hand out and asks for it scarred me for life. I think it took me for a few days to even click past that point

>>694174
>having the Sega CD cover as a kid

I would always bury this game under stacks of other games because I was terrified even to look at it or touch it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNfhRjK9TbU

>>693356
I HUNGER

>>694879
Could I trouble you to tell me what the name of that game is?

>>694930
Not the same guy, but that's the background of the stage that has the music he links to in his post. "Fetus of God" the music, which as you can see applies to his pic. The big baby in back freaks out when you beat Jedah. I was never really bothered by it, but it does look kind of freaky, especially with it's eyes open.

>>694938
I see now, thank you very much anon.

Almost everything about this fucking game

>that medusa wall face that changes
>those gore sprites (especially the head on the stick)
>THAT FUCKING MUSIC

This game was along with the original RE was a ride back in the day. Aubrey Hodges is great music composer.

>>695053
I have an absolute fear of any and all DOOM games. I get really fucking unsettled while I play, really nervous and jumpy. Not a good time.

Which is why my friends find it fucking hilarious to play the 3spooky5me DOOM variants with me over teamspeak or skype and record me in the process.

>>693330
This. I always had a phobia of sharks and so whenever I played Clanker's Cavern, I was always paranoid as fuck that if I swam by his head, he would turn suddenly and eat me. The shark in Treasure Trove Cove also scared the shit out of me every time. That music man...

>>695053

How could you not mention the weird twitching gore sprites that you can't quite tell what they were, but they were obviously twitching?

Dudes with the Shark phobias - Yes.

Also the ocean in general. There were stages in Ecco 2: The Tides of Time, where you had the infinite ocean stretching out in the background, and FUCKING SHARKS SWIMMING BACK THERE. And they would occasionally migrate to the foreground where you live and ahhh fucking god. Any Ecco level that didn't have a solid background gave me the fucking creeps. Swimming through that pod of Blue Whales in the first game was terrifying.

Snatcher, particularly the warehouse where it's empty and creepy as shit and you keep waiting for something to pop out and then you find your colleague with his FUCKING HEAD RIPPED RIGHT THE FUCK OFF and then there's beeping and you walk around trying to find it because you know that shit's a bomb and you fucking know it's gonna go off if you don't find it and shit just keeps going downhill from there.

That game was not good for my nerves.

>>693356
>that fucking roar
Still one of the most terrifying sound effects ever put into a game even decades later.

>>694384
Ugh god so creepy and out of place

>>693798
>grandmother loves dolphins

Pretty sure this stage made me cry back then.

I already hated water levels like Labyrinth Zone (extra slow, PAL version), and the rushing water parts of Castle of Illusion, but evading these sharks throughout this level terrified me.

when is he going to ambush me next ????

Ecco the Dolphin.

Anything involving being under water.

Or anything in Glover 64.

Motherfucking IG88 from Shadow of the Empire, the noise it would make, the way it moved, I hated fighting that thing. The train level before it was my favourite though.

All of the game, I had no problem with. They were demons, not real thing

But a beheaded little bunny? Changed my fucking life

Also, this. First time seeing blood in a cartoon, let alone death. Went from Mickey Mouse, to best robot friend dying in my arms. It scarred me.

>>695720
Swear to god, that game was the first modern survival horror game.

>>695720
I love Ecco so much but I still fucking shit myself playing it. Why is it so scary? It's about Dolphins.

>>695117
Amen to that. I find water areas frightening in general because:

1.) you're slow and shitty, and often have limited breath.
2.) every fucking enemy can fly and moves six times faster than you.

>>696878
i don't know if you're alone but i've seen this post before

>>694384
>>695282

>>696878
This isn't the first time you post this and compare it to Mickey Mouse, ain't it? Because I somehow remind reading this already here

>>696878
I kind of laughed it off at how Zero's hair was now longer than his body.

>>696963
Aside from the whole Vortex thing and running out of breath underwater oh god don't die i'm nearly at the end of this level?

I'd say it's just Ecco achieves a truly alien atmosphere. The creator intended to remove as much of the human element as possible so what we're left with is this unknown, hostile environment. Also the music usually thumped along with ever the sense of foreboding dread.

>>697006
>molyneux's head is later in the xbla remake
This is some sort of gameception.

>>696856
That scared the shit out of me when I first saw it when I was about 12. Now whenever I look at it, I wonder how so much blood and gore could come out of such a tiny little head.

But what scared me even more than the bunny was the dog in Deja Vu 2. The sudden snarling barking noise, the empty black eyes, followed by death. Leave the dog alone.

LEAVE. THE DOG. ALONE.

>>697047
It's like, are the people all dead or what?
Maybe the vortex ate them, first.

>>697012
Yeah, it was me. Thought I'd share it again, but I didn't realize the post ended up being so similar.
(I feel like there's different people reading each time for some reason, so I didn't think someone would actually remember.)

You want motivation to fucking run? This'll do it.

Dr. Chaos for the NES is a wretchedly horrible game, but when I played it the first time as a kid, it was horrifying. The cover art for the box had really intrigued me for the longest in the NES rental aisle and I remember thinking to myself in all my naivety, "I wonder if I'm old enough to play this. It looks really scary. Is that blood?"

The game gives you a knife and a quest to collect...something. I never lived that long through any of my attempts. The first-person room view was really intense for me and I felt there could be danger lurking anywhere, and sometimes there was. The monsters were really disturbing. I couldn't even tell what they were. They were just weird caricaturistic THINGS moving erratically unnatural around the screen. And before you know it, you're dead and you have to start over.

Years later, I found an article on the game on Hardcore Gaming 101 and discovered all the similarities between Dr. Chaos and the movie House. Blew my fucking mind.

>>697160
I played Mega Man X thinking Zero was some kind of upgraded Roll (and of course, that X was some kind of upgraded classic Mega Man). I think it was by the time I was playing X3 that I just started realizing they were completely different characters, and Zero was male

I think I didn't read in videogames at all when I was a kid

>>697228
>Leave NOC inmediately, the SA-X is tracking you.

Genuinely spooked the first time I observed this. And man, was I in for surprise when I sat in the priests chair.

Why were you all such pussmasters? I mean Ecco was a little creepy, but for me it was because of everything seeming like 100 fucking miles long and me just not liking things being that much bigger than a dolphin that was already bigger than me.

>>697106
I just started playing Kid Chameleon again. This level is nearly bullshit. The wall doesn't even move at a single rate, it just picks up from the end of the screen when you stop.

>>694831
>>694174
Come on, these are hilarious. But then I watched the Lawnmower man movie as a kid. And alien and poltergeist and pretty much every other horror movie ever.

The cow or puma people from Parasite Eve 2 really freak me out though, but it's barely a classic game.

>>697228
>>697237
>There are at least 10 SA-X on board

Go ahead, laugh, something breaking the fourth wall to kill you was really scary, it was the first time I had saw such a thing

>>697228

SA-X invokes more than fear. It forces upon you that most insidious and dread instinct: Run; or die.

>>696752
I thought I was the only one

Also, the Iron Gladiator.

>>697304

What's this?

>>697160
I always thought Zero was male.

>>697160
>>697604
I thought Zero was a girl. I was 7 when the game came out, and I lived on an Air Force Base. Men and boys didn't have long hair as far as I knew.

>>697603
Weird SOTN glitch. Seems like there was more content to the game that was cut. Looked like you were gunna be able to converse with different characters for different benefits.

>>693218

Combination of those eyes and being under water.

>>693268

Funny, I loved the autopsy pictures

>>697603

There is a single room located in the cathedral level of Castlevania SOTN which has an empty confessional booth. If you sit on one side, a phantom priest materializes and sits in the other chair. In the Playstation version at least, there appears to be some quiet dialog between your player character Alucard and this NPC. He disappears and leaves you grape juice of all things.

if you sit in the priests chair, an old woman materializes on the other side of the booth and draws the confessional curtains to conceal herself. Then an array of spikes and blades jut out of the booth and damage you. It made me jump.

The bgm in this room is completely different from the rest of the game. An ominous drone.

>>693268

>not terror missions at night

I used to just skip em if it wasn't in the middle of the day, shit was scary

>This whole series
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

My parents died and days after that I fought this boss... It became disturbing and in every playthrough I've returned to those thoughts of life and death.

Alucard: MOTHER!

>>697523
You have to remember that some things seem really scary as a kid that seem pretty benign as an adult, or at least as an older kid.

This whole game fucking scarred me deeply, tbe atmosphere and enemies and just overall strangenes and especially the music just scared the bejeezuz out me.... and the death scream ohmyfuck...
Also, those villagers that turned into bats when you spoke to them in Zelda 2

>>698397

>>695162
One of my favorite games of all time. The head didn't bother me, it was the absolute blood-curdling scream before it. It still bothers me; the voice actor did a good job.

Absolutely everything wanted to kill you sorry, puny ass in this game.

But this asshole, this asshole was special.

>>694818
you're one of these guys who interprete and project way too much in that game, right?

most stuff in this thread is legitamely scary and yeah, I know you said, you were a kid when you played it, well, me too, and that particular scene was not even slightly as scary as you make it look like. you sound very pretentious. big time.

>>697160
Zero is a guy, that's hair though.
Nintendo confirmed

>>698437
Looking at this now, I see Obama.

>>698532
You're the one sounding pretentious. Little kids are scared of weird shit.

Hell I was 10 when I played Secret of Evermore and that Mungola face thing wigged me the FUCK out. I don't know if it was just how it faded in when you weren't expecting it but I was terrified of it, even though I was just old enough to think to myself "I shouldn't be scared of that"

>>694804
>>694516
>>694638

OH GOD I REMEMBER THAT GAME! I've been trying to get my friend to find it somehow and copy it, just for nostalgia purposes. Anyway I remember an alien race that, when communicating them, they were basically a large sentient blob of blackest tar, that would pick apart and consume these mosquito-like that flew by while you talked. I can't remember for sure, but I want to say they seemed to beg and cry as they were consumed?

"Another visitor. Stay awhile... staaaaay FOREVER!"

>>693356
RUN
RUN
RUN
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR

>>698639

I hated falling down a pit in that game. Goddammit it would make me shit as a kid.

The first time a metroid latched onto me in the first game, I didn't know how to kill it or remove it. After hopping around in a panic and dying, I was so fucking freaked out I didn't play the game again for a few weeks. Then I slowly, slooooooooooowly began poking at them until I figured out what worked.

When Metroid II came along, the further evolutions of metroids would get a yell out of me but that was due to surprise lightning bolt rape and whatever else they did. The few normal ones towards the end of the game didn't really bother me much since I knew what to do. Then when I played Super Metroid, and got to the end of the game and entered the dead room, it was the first game all over again with me being unable to figure out how to get the fucking thing off me. I didn't stop playing, but every time I went through that sequence for the next couple months I started shivering and shaking uncontrollably(though without any real fear).

I gave no fucks during Fusion/Primes.

Thinking back on it, metroids were the last monster I ever had a nightmare about.

The game over screens from Theme Hospital. Scared the shit out of me for some reason.

THIS FUCKING GAME

Beyond the Forbidden Forest for the Commodore 64. Scary death scream and gory as all hell. That goddamn frog/gorilla thing would jump you and squish the blood out of you.

Hey, back then, you didn't see shit like that all the time.

Here. Crank this up:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6_4T214h5A

This guy always scared me when I was a kid. Whenever you complete a map he pops up and says WELL DONE IMMORTAL and with this digitized mumbling sound. I didn't expect it the first time and it scared the piss out of me. My friend and I thought that if you left him on the screen he'd say spooky things but he never did.

For some reason, the music from the Sega Master System version of Alien Syndrome terrifies me.

fucking this.

>>698745
all the Forbidden Forest games are freaky as shit

>>697084
Well, they destroyed the Atlanteans at least. Who knows about everyone else.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkIr0ysbnf0

The ominous nature of the room and the mishmashed statue of all sorts of horrors creeped me out as a kid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHCCoNyNFtY

>>698795

I never wanted to kill the ghost. The sound it made....

This asshole wigged me out but I was like 4 years old

it was pretty much "I have no idea what I'm looking at WHAT IS THAT WHAT IS HE" because of that weird abstract helmet

>>698801
Draygon in general looked fucking disturbing.

>>698809
obligatory "I didn't even play the fucking game, I was traumatized by the Nintendo Power screenshot"

>>698814
It was the screaming faces coming out of his head and the way his twitchy eye follows you around the room.

this shit used to give me panic attacks

>>698818

>>698812
And it was too hard a fight to fight scared.

I always thought Alien Crush had more disturbing looking graphics. Though they contrasted pretty heavily against this goofy ass cover art.

>>698819
man. Super Metroid was perfect difficulty. I got torn to shreds the first time I played that boss. Lost the second time too, but I figured out what to do. beat him the third time relatively easily. good game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmcDfU8GmR4

>>698868
japan fukken loves the flatwoods monster, it's a more common portrayal of aliens than grays over there

>>698895
It looks cooler/spookier than the shitty grays.

That level wasn't scary after learning it a few times. The real one which was a pain in the ass involved the same machine chasing you, but the level was in a forest and there were more brutal obstacles.

I was always convinced that you could pull the things that try to grab you out of the lava. I think an older kid told me this, and I believed him. Not sure if he really thought you could or not, though.

>>698868
FInally I know what the Wild Arms aliens were referencing.

>>697695
I never understood why anyone would like this game. It's terrifying.

>>699962
i never got past the 2nd level.

>>698812
STILL fascinated with this guy, bloody malth? awesome name!

>>699962
That's why; it's about as horror as most games of that generation got, and without being a survival adventure even.

The noise these bastards make... :O

also the sound they make

This goddamn thing here.
To the point I was actually afraid to enter the room on the 2nd floor.

You know what fucked my mind and scared the shit out of me?
Parallaxed skies and grounds in 2.5D FPS games like Doom or Duke3D. Each time I'd be near one I was afraid to fall down into infinity.

in a usermap for Duke it actually happened, fell down into a parallaxed ground sector and it was the longest fall ever

Every time. Every fucking time

These fuckers right there

Any of you ever played the Vampire Hunter D game for PSX?

That shit was nightmare fuel after nightmare fuel, and the shitty camera made it all the more stressful.

>>700127
Irony is, most of the times I don't even listen to their creepy lines, cause I'm too busy mashing my mouse buttons while screaming "AAAAAAAAAAAH!!! STAYAWAYFROMMEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!!!!!" (wrench style)

in Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1/2, i think going at a certain speed, or... whatever reason, caused these black triangles at the bottom of the screen, i'd barely manage to get a good look because i raced past them. looking around, there was nothing behind me.
always made me think i was being chased by some dark figure.

i realize now it was a loading/graphic issue, but that shit creeped me out as a kid.

These zombies that appear in SOTN and some of the other castlevania series. They can't hurt you, but they tug at their bars and shamble back and forth endlessly in their cells. Makes me feel kind of sorry for them. I wonder if they were adventures who got the BAD END and were condemned to an eternity of imprisonment. NOPE.

Wow, those japs love their cryptids, don't they? Strange, since the Flatwoods Monster is American.

Tsuchinoko is another cryptid that pops up occasionally. Two examples I can think of immediately are Castlevania and Metal Gear Snake Eater.

>>692847
I've always wonderd: Why is Fox' dad a fucking monkey?

>AHHH! FRESH MEAT!!!

That fucker scared the shit out of 10 year old me.

does this count? Wasnt until recently that I discovered you could easy mode this shit.

Also sonic and knuckles stage 3 act 2 I think, the desert one with the ghost and you gotta turn the lights on.

Is there any part in any video game as creepy as this one ?

Holy shit yes.
Why would you fill a room with these fuckers

>>700050
>>700965

>>700945
lol thats the one, doesnt help that the stage had a lot of timed pressure switches that u needed to get done real fast.

>>700027
I think Splatterhouse 3, if not the original, was the worlds first banned video game.

At least i read that on wikipedia

>>701137
Nah man, look up Death Race, it was a top down racer where you drive over zombies

>>701145
this?

/watch?v=JCYEGBMA_zQ

>>701158
That's the one. Someone, somewhere got scared that it would harm children.

4chan is okay with youtube URLs, by the way.

I'll always adore the Splatterhouse series for horrifying the everliving fuck out of me. Each game is a meat market of worst creatures I've ever seen. Like this beauty from part 3.

These games are like all the gooey, nasty bits of Lovecraft and Evil Dead combined. To this day, I can barely play 3. Family member dies in a cutscene and I cannot deal with it.

>>701178
Cheers

>>701221
That cut scene describing what the boreworm does to his daughter

>mfw

These friggin' things.

The first time playing through Mega Man 64, I was 14, it was 3 AM and all the lights in the house we're off. I crept around one of these bastards, it turns around and starts RUNNING AT ME MAKING THE MOST TERRIFYING SOUND IN THE WORLD HOLY SHIT.

I intentionally kill every one I see. The world is better without them.

>>701246
I know...I know...

>>701246
His wife, but yeah. Fun fact: If you beat that stage with 3:00 or more left on the timer, she's perfectly safe and you skip the second stage in place of a bonus stage. Plot basically makes you out to be so much of a badass that the boreworm was like 'fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that' and cut out before being able to do anything.

That game is pretty intense with the whole time limit thing breathing behind your back; worst end is depressing as fuck.

>>702178
Oh, and totally forgot, but on the chance that you end up with 0:00 left on the timer in Stage 1, Jennifer is outright killed and you go through Stage 2 with the mask just ripping on you during each cutscene. What a dick.

WHO ARE YOU RUNNING FROM?

pic so relateted to the thread

I remember when playing Tales of Phantasia I was in Demeter's mansion looking for Demeter, I checked the tree (which was pretty big) and nothing happened, I checked it like 2 more times, still nothing, and then OUT OF NOWHERE IT GROWS FUCKING EYES AND STANDS UP.

It was pretty spooky for me considering the thing was like half the screen big.

What about the Evil Circus Tent in Threed? Not scary nowadays, but first encounter with it was definitely a creepy surprise.

In Chrono Trigger when you end up in a ravaged future where everyone was hungry. You chase around a mutated rat and fight a guardian bot, only to find the body of someone who somehow got past the guardian bot and starved to death after finding the food storage had gone rotten. Made me cry.

What was up with the confession booth anyway? Was the one crying woman meant to be alucard's mother confessing her love for Dracula?

>>703594
Why do so many Nintendo games have nightmare fuel? Is it just because they're expected to be kid-friendly so when spooky stuff happens it affects the player more?

I don't think it's entirely based on the 'when I was a kid' notion either, because a friend of mine played OoT for the first time a month ago and was pretty disturbed by everyone's favorite enemy.

>>698792
What I didn't like about the first ActRaiser was that it was such an aimless mishmash of fantasy and religious elements, kind of like Castlevania. Pyramids? Sure, why not. Hindu gods? Seems about right. Werewolves? Throw it in with the rest! And then there are elements of Japanese folklore and art and in the end it just seems too silly when it adds up. Act Raiser 2 was much more effective and atmospheric in staying more or less in a mythology inspired by Christiniaty. Sure, it had robots and aliens, but I could buy it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f7P_9PsA9k
This, that game really made me feel nervous.

probably just random two ghosts

Has no one posted these yet?

I was never scared all that much of the Dead Hand because it looked too much like a big ole' monster to me. But the Redeads look just barely human. I think someone on the development team of OoT had just finished Resident Evil and was dead set on ruining some childens' psyche. There are obvious parallels to the zombies in Resident Evil: you can hear them moaning before you engage them and their bodies stay lying around when you kill them. Of course I had already acquired preceding childhood trauma from watching my dad play Resident Evil, so some parts of the game were nearly unplayable for me for years. My brother had to get through the royal grave for me and I had not beaten the game until I was 15 owing to the Shadow Temple. Imagine how freaked out I was when I left the Temple of Time after getting the Master Sword and town sqaure was crawling with these nigthmares.

>>697656
>grape juice

Definitely meant to be wine.

>>694431

Oh geez, there's that fucking plant. Try bouncing on it more than 3 times, I dare you to see what happens.

There's also a level in the mines later in the game where you could fall into a rock grinder or even push some enemies in there. The screen quakes, and a second later the grinder spits out a cracked skull and some bones all over the place.

Shit was fucked up, man. Love the game, though.

I don't know why, but when I was a kid this scared 7 levels of shit out of me.

That licker from the interrogation room in RE2. Having already been on the other side of the mirror, I thought I was completely safe.

The dogs and crows coming through the windows in RE1 were supposed to have the same effect, but I was somewhat expecting them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7fw4a4KOVI
The weird thing is I don't even remember this music in the game. I had played it many times as a kid and I 100%'d it with a friend a few years back. It wasn't until recently I was watching one of my friends streaming it and this music came up and I was like "Holy shit, that's creepy."

Because Duke Nukem 64 didn't have any music, I could never play the game in the dark when I was a kid. 2bleak4me

Because Duke Nukem 64 didn't have any music, I could never play the game really late at night when I was a kid. 2bleak4me

>>703707
You must of had one hell of an imagination, grandpa.

>>694174
have you ever played the PC version of Lawnmower Man, oh dear god, I remember playing this late at night at my cousins and being terrified AS FUCK, I can't find any pics of it, but dear lord, that section where Jobe is chasing after you as a gaint fucking lawnmower... and even worse.. the game over scene associated... I felt like my very soul was being torn apart... It was a horrible game.. but still.. dear lord

Wait does this image imply that Tubba Blubba was nightmare fuel? If so, I don't understand that one.

This whole game was nightmare fuel for me as a child

i was 8 when i played it. i had beaten TOZ (nes) and was not ready for 3D. I could play any part of the game except the boss fights.
#2scary

DON'T WAKE THE BABY

>>693642
FUCK THAT FUCKING MASK. I was trying to remember what terrified me as a kid in games and furthest I could remember was Half-Life but then I saw this and now I remember... I remember slowly inching towards the key thinking it would somehow help me and then grabbing it and it chasing me and me throwing the key because fuck that guy if he wants it he can have it.

>>694134
>uncut
Isn't that just the standard version though

First he burns horribly in the lava, then his skeleton busts screaming out at you from the other side of the screen. I played this for the first time last month and it scared the crap out of me.

>>708046
>all those blood and guts
Damn, how did this game get past the censors AND get published by Milton Bradley?

Tanks.

I always thought they had human faces, but if you look closer, they're actually just wearing a human face like a mask.

>>708046
And the final boss is a uterus.

>>707907
>Because Duke Nukem 64 didn't have any music, I could never play the game really late at night when I was a kid. 2bleak4me

That's something I really liked about the N64 version, among some other tweaks it made.


Anyway, this bastard in Shufflepuck Cafe gave he nightmares as a kid.

>>708395
The big snarly guy freaked me out more to be honest

but the tits made up for it. you could almost see a nipple

>>708416
>The big snarly guy freaked me out more to be honest
>but the tits made up for it. you could almost see a nipple

I found all of the others usually kind of comedic. Though the little gnome guy was kind of scary, in a way.

The hooded dude gave me nightmares after I saw that face on his "stomach" and it kept growling at me.

The woman was just frustrating. I don't think I ever scored a point on her.

>>701130

So glad someone posted this

nope.avi

This guy man....His laugh is horrified me as a kid.
Fighting him was pretty annoying too.

I need to play this fucking game again.

I haven't touched it in 20 years and it's one of the last totems back to a very specific part of my childhood.

Along with like...that shitty game Milon's Secret Castle.

>>697714
Wait how did your parents die? Did they die together? Was it a crash or something?

>>693261

Gohma's lair in the Deku Tree really had me nervous when I first played OoT. Played it in the dark home alone one night.

I'm fairly certain that was the moment I realized what a great game it was.

>>704475
... Tell the rest of us what happens.

Fuck sake.

>>704959
That scared you?

You didn't simply think it was the most RAD final boss design ever made?

The combination of this, and the music... It haunted me

>>709567

Well I don't think it's scary. But I don't really know what I'm looking at. He looks like a decayed whale. His first form was a little more comprehensible albeit that was bit weird too.

>>694381
>>698908

You can actually outrun the Abominable Snow Monster by pressing F to go faster.

Kefka's Tower in its glorious entirety.

No final dungeon comes close.

Squeenix has lost their way.

And no other developer cares to learn.

There will not be another.

>>709590
Yeah seriously.

Did that game even have instructions that told people this?

Because what the fuck.

>>708354

>>694363

A lot of shit from Jet Force Gemini used to scare me pissless.
Like the ruined space station, among other things.
http://youtu.be/6-xr5BcXIF0

>>709640

The fucking character selection screen didn't help either.

>>709590
I outran him once for a while.

I later learned that no man can escape death.

>>701221
Couldn't agree more. I mean I love the Splatterhouse series, but I've never seen anything more dark and repulsive than these.
Giant worms that had the faces of bloated babies, hanged skinned fetuses that hurled stomach acids at you in a shed, everything was just so unreal.

>>703707
Will you post a pic and timestamp? I'm curious if this is legit

>>695117
Was that way with the shark Then found out you can kill him with eggs.

>>698801
Imagine if it came to life and you had to fight that as a boss.

DARKLANDS
the whole game is nightmare fuel if your an agnostic

no problem for christians and athiests

>>710727
I don't think I understand.

>>710749

Has some fantasy elements but is heavily influenced by real religion. Its basically what a ignorant 15 century peasant believed in, is in the game.

I guess the assertion I making here is that RL hell is nightmare fuel for someone who not sure they may or may not be going there.

>>711290
Wouldn't that be scary to a Christian too, though?

>>711405
As a Christian, most could at least go to church and get their shit together.
Agnostics like the guy you responded to? Swimming up shit creek.

>>710727
Because you're scared there might be something after death and not just nothing?

>>711424
Pascal's wager breathes down his neck when playing, probably.

>>709596
the world being destroyed freaked me out and I didn't play it for a while.

then the music for the bosses before the final kefka form freaked me out and I had to turn it off.

still my favorite rpg ever though.

>strengths niggrad

Geez.

No good end to that story regardless.

>>715247
Makes me think of when my grand father died.

He just died of old age, but after the funeral my cousin and I went home with the family and we played video games.

It was the first time that killing in video games felt wrong.

Jabu Jabu fucked me up for a bit. Didn't know he was gonna eat you like that, and the scenery was really disturbing to me. Had a fear of vore type shit like that for a loooooong time after. Also squeamish to this day.

>>708236
What the fuck, I want to play that.Help a poor pleb and tell me that game's name.

>>708236

Carnevil

I'm not sure why they were so scary to me.I always felt really anxious and jumpy at parts where I had to run from them.Perhaps it was because in the first game they were always in the dark and you could only know their real look by the factory's drawings/advertisements.Or maybe because of it's uncannily human torso, or even because my friend told me it was blind and could only get you by hearing or something.
I'm not afraid of them anymore, but this is kind of sad because I miss the thrill.

>>715562
The music sure helps too, it turns more sinister when a Scrab is in the area and a lot more intense when they start chasing after you.

>>698805
The woman's face turning into a horrible monster is what made it frighteningly interesting.
