William from RE3. Son of a bitch always showed up at the worst possible times, smashing through walls, making you run for your life when you just got done running for your life.

Or that thing at the end of RE2 that is eating the bus.

If you can strafe they can't do anything. Their big brother however is dangerous as hell. You can exploit touching him and running away, but it's not that easy.

oh god OP
you've reminded me of these guys
something about them is really...unnerving

[Anonymous No.701965]

The Mad Chasers from Parasite Eve 2

They're people who wanted to be immortal horse things, but the operation got fucked up, so they live forever as some horrible mutant and only laugh when attacked because they look forward to the release. Also in multiple parts of the game you'll find them swinging from overhead by their necks, trying to hang themselves.

More disturbing than necessarily "scary," but good enough I guess.

I really need to give PE 2 a second chance. I got super butt hurt the first time I tried it over them changing the combat system that I loved in the first one causing me to play it for like ten minutes and never return.

Holy fuck, I've tried my hardest to find a way to make this game work.

Is there any sourceports for it?

It's my favorite game that I forgot I loved. I've beaten it around 15 times, and unlocked everything, but this is the first time that I've really played it in probably 6 or 7 years.

Anyway, it's definitely worth sticking with, even though it's very different from the first. You get used to the combat I guess. It's more like a Resident Evil game now, so think of it that way.

The barnacles from HL1. Still shits me up when I see them to this day.

[Anonymous No.702740]

Obligatory.

First played Diablo 1 at 10 or something. Opening that door for the first time you already know about the butcher and his cleaver but you don't really know what to expect, you've been fighting skeletons and zombies and fallen ones so far; then this towering red-pinkish figure steps out with a rumbling, hissing voice suggesting it's not him that's the prey but you, and walks towards you FAST AS HELL with a cleaver half your size that takes half your HP away. You run like crazy and occasionally try to hit back, but it's like hitting a brick wall and he can almost stunlock you. To this day, whenever I hear a Diablo 1 door open and that voice exclaiming "HAAAH, FRESH MEAT", I still get a tingle of adrenaline and my heart rate slightly spikes. It left a big impression, they knew how to set a dark atmosphere I tell you that.

They won't notice if you walk instead of trying to run right past them

[Anonymous No.703704]

This and pretty much everything else in the game.

[Anonymous No.703726]

Kind of an odd one, but mind flayers in Nethack are one of my least favorite enemies ever. I panic just a little if there is more than one of them in the same room as me. I mean, I uh... wasn't saving that wand of death for a boss or anything anyway.

Anything that involves brain damage really squicks me out. The idea of something destroying or pulling apart your brain is one of the scariest things to me.

Mind flayers were pretty much the only thing in Nethack that scared me. Sucking your fucking brains out and permanently lowering your intellect jesus christ

The brute demons will rape your face almost immediately after they see you and there are some variants of them that are completely invisible

Assault Commanders are the only monsters that have homing missiles and shout "Suck It Down" in this really menacing voice

[Anonymous No.704612]

Facehuggers in AvP. If I hear one jump I just close my eyes and reload a save.

>>704605
Assault Commanders just shoot rockets, they don't home.

[Anonymous No.704654]

>>704612
I fucking hate those, they're small, hard to hit, and instant death you on contact.

[Anonymous No.704912]

The spider in simant.

It don't matter how many things there are for it to attack, if your wandering around it fucking knows, and it lets you know and it moves like the goddamn wind, it always left me hanging out near my nest so I could quickly escape the horrible ass sound and picture associated with being killed by it.

[Anonymous No.704970]

This and alot of the enemies from Keen actually got a reaction from me when I was a kid. I think it's because many of them were so fast and since they could insta kill you removing 20+ minutes of hard work and progress. When one of them would come barreling towards you out of nowhere all I could think was "oh shit oh shit oh shit" and you never really could even get a good look at them.

But as far as traditional scared, I never really found video games to be scary.

[Anonymous No.706534]

>>704593

I found out.

Download DOSBox, and get a copy of the game somewhere (preferably one that forces you to install it first) and drag and drop the installation file onto the DOSBOX icon.

You should go through some rudimentary process of installing the game, and later on you can play it by dragging the .exe onto the program like mentioned.

"The blight approaches!"
"Volcanic eruption detected!"

HURRY UP WITH THAT FUCKING RESEARCH GOD DAMN!
WHY DID I BUILD MY SPACE PORT SO CLOSE TO THE SOUTHERN MAP BORDER?
THESE ANTI-LAVA AND ANTI-MICROBE WALLS, THEY DO NOTHING!

You literally cannot stop this enemy, it is a representation of how much time you have left to complete the campaign; the entire campaign gameplay is one giant timed mission. Too slow on one mission can mean death.

[Anonymous No.707606]

>>704912
that's why I always tried to kill the spider when the army is large enough.

[Anonymous No.707892]

>>704654
Keep a flamethrower on you at all times, where these bastards are regarded. Insta-kills them, and you get to watch them dance around on the floor in unmerciful pain.

Take that you spidery face-raper.

It took me forever to realize that strawberry clusterfuck on their body is actually lots of eyes.

They're like the gargs from Keen 1, just they changed the eyes to mouths and the mouth to eyes.

When he was younger, I assume.

Bull demons are kinda scary until you realize how dumb the AI is. And the fact that they can't walk and chew (literally) at the same time.

Strange, I remembered the source files as all ending in ".lua"... I'll take a look back at the game I think :D

>>704032
hell yeah motherfucker, when i first met these bitches, they were facing away from me so i didn't really know what to expect. I prepared my crossbow and shoot that fucker in the back. Then he started to move towards me and then shot a fucking tornado at me which scared the shit outta me. Good times.

i don't think it compares well to RE as many say. i's more a mix of dungeon crawler and metroidvania if you ask me.
also the aspect of having to learn weapon charts/gamefaqs and swallowing punishments make it stand out

[Calm Images No.715846]

Can't remember anything really, but my secret scare monster is hte pinky because I simply love how sneaky they can be sometime.
It ain't kissy time when they do sneak up on you.

[Anonymous No.716997]

A lot of monsters from gothic, sometimes because there were inherently creepy, but pretty much always because they could fuck you up in seconds.
