Not exactly a stand-out moment to be scared of but as a kid I was so petrified of the zombies in the Cragscleft Mine in Thief that I would spend AGES just dicking around in the little beginning area working up the courage to go in. Typically I would just quit out or play the first two levels instead because my little heart couldn't take it.

With normal enemy NPC's such as guards they all had a pattern with their routes that you could exploit but with zombies they were just wandering around aimlessly at no specific order and worst of all you didn't even need to sneak around them as they walked slow.

>That fourth area where the foreground can hide ground aliens until they're right on top of you

It's strange though. The aliens have never really bothered me in any way, but that shot of the one sneering around the corner in this game still unnerves me. Would make for a pretty unique spoiler box edit, though.

So this is a strange one. When I was real little probably about four years old. We had the C64 hooked up. And we got these Music Track disks from my father's friend that got us pirated games for the thing. On one of these music track disks there was a track on there that conjured up the image of a car accident at night. A dead family member. Everything slick with rain. Reflectors shining brightly from passing cars. I don't have any idea why it gave me such a feeling, but it did. Every single time I put it on. And it scared me to death.

Been playing pic related. It's really jarring after just beating SOTN. They're extremely similar games, even with the same powers (wolf form, mist form, etc) but they are day and night different. Kain is way cooler than Alucard but SOTN did everything else better IMO.

I hope this counts. Lighthouse was an awesome Myst clone and while it wasn't a horror game, this motherfucker scared the shit out of me years ago. He straight up knocks the shit out of you when you follow him through a portal into his volcano lair and then drags you away to a rocky beach in the middle of nowhere. You don't even expect it either since it's a click and point adventure game.

Assuming you meant, SOTN, 100%. Even if you remove the lag and shit loading times from Blood Omen via mods and modern hardware, which significantly improves the game, it's still behind SOTN by miles. That being said it's the first time in recent memory where I'm totally invested in a fantasy setting. It's kinda generic grimdark fantasy, but Kain's narration sells it so well.

That fucking Windows 95 demo disc. Took me forever to dig this up again because it was on the second revision of the disc. Game called Drowned God. I remember kid me having a screaming fit when this happened. Now that I looked it up 22 years later, the little fucker wasn't even attacking me and I let this shit haunt me all this time. Jesus I was an absolute chicken shit of a kid. Though now I think I might finally give Drowned God a try, looks like a cool myst-like.

You could turn a corner and some dude would appear and say like, "You think I'm stupid??" and the building would explode.

I have NO clue what the hell it was, but it had to be around 96-97.
