There's one part of FEAR 2 that scared the bejeezus out of me--the build-up to the first fight with the Abominations in the hospital. That part got to me so much I wound up quitting to the desktop in a fit of fright at one point. :laugh: That was still more of a scare than haunting, though...although on the other hand, Wade Elementary still haunts me. (The part where your flashlight is on the fritz, so you can only see by flickers of the overhead lights, and all the doors fly off the lockers, and there's respawning Specters everywhere and Alma's lurking whenever you think about turning around... :cold: Yeah, not ashamed to admit I ran through that part screaming bloody murder and doing a truly epic bullet / grenade spam.)

The simultaneously scariest and most haunting game I've played definitely has to be Scratches, though. I love that game.

I'm very fearful when it comes to video games.
I think i wouldn't survive Amnesia: the dark descent.

Well if you want to get technical; back when I was six, Donkey Kong 64 scared me. (The part where you swim to a rainy island) and Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask scared me too. (When the entire world started crumbling)

One game really scared me, mostly because of me being able to get hit..when I put on invincibility it wasnt a problem anymore. That game was Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines..and yeah in that hotel. It was 5 am, I was up all day and night and it was really easy to scare me at that time.

Then there are a bunch of startled moments that happen in a lot of games. Mostly, Bioshock, Dead Space, F.E.A.R, things hitting me that I dont' know are there in almost every free action RPG I play. (Such as the stupid fish in the elder scrolls series and sneaky monsters in Demon's Souls).

But yeah, if I'm perfectly awake, I don't really get scared from games, just a lot of being startled.

Never got scared really, it is more surprise than real fear.

Apart from one game I can't remember the name. It was a Win95/DOS game I got with my second PC in 96/97. It was a story of haunted house, some few gory story on top. Adventure game. I did forget the name but it was really scary at that time.

Games like Silent hill, Resident evil, BioShock, Dead Space etc. Has every scared me. However! Oddly enough there has been one moment in a game that really scared me and that was in Batman Arkham Asylum

Resident Evil 2- it's the scene in the police station when you enter one of the interrogation room to get an item and a lurker jumps out the window right after you pick up the item. The no music makes it a tense scene.

Most games that require me to be high up in the air on a small platform---I get virtigo in games sometimes .

The first Half-Life. After an era of gaming with absolutely no subtlety - Quake, Doom, all those games with big guns and ugly monsters around every corner - the Black Mesa facility was a shocking revelation. It wasn't some unimaginable hellhole planet but a (once) working research facility, and its slow descent into alien corruption was as eerie as the alien invaders themselves. The security intercom blurting out alien gibberish, the bodies of your recently-mutilated collegues littering the halls, how you don't even have a weapon the first time you encounter an alien critter - and just when you think rescue is at hand, your military saviours turn out to be even deadlier than the monsters from Xen. It blew my mind when I played it, and it was so creepy I would only play it for brief periods at a time.

F.E.A.R was more disturbing than scary, and mostly in the jumping-out-at-you sort of way rather than really creepy atmosphere. But there were some good scares in it too: I remember playing the demo and getting freaked out by the girl standing by the ladder when you turned around. Later when I played the full game I came across the same ladder and I was expecting it again, but they'd moved the encounter to later in the level - where they got me again.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R was genuinely frightening at points, because you really didn't know what to expect, and with all the bugs (features?) you felt like the game could throw anything at you. Wandering deeper into those abandoned, creaking laboratories, being attacked by creatures you didn't fully understand, was truly terrifying like no other game I've played.

Dead Space was a little too obvious for me. You see an exposed walkway and think, "Hmm, an exposed walkway, I wonder what's going to happen next..." :flamethrower:

It was a pretty good, scary game at some parts.

Not really been frightened but once nearly jumped out of my skin when I first played Resident Evil when that bloody dog jumped through the window

Bioshock always makes me a little jumpy when I'm playing in the dark even though I've been through the game 5 times. Ever since I was a kid Resident Evil 3 Nemesis has always scared me. The Nemesis is nearly impossible to kill and will chase after you the entire game.

Garrys mod has got me on one map. GM_Ghosthunt for the Gmod players who want to try it.(Or have already)
I' walking down the hallway of this abandoned Hospital, all the sudden a loud scream, my view is fixed to a Stalker(if you ever beat Half Life 2, you will know what I'm talking about) Caught me by surprise.

In memory... Only Eye of the Beholder ~don't laugh :lmao:

To this day, the zombie's can still sneak up and startle me. :shocking:

Megaman legends, down in the ruins...it was always quiet and creepy....All you could hear is your footsteps.

First I'm not the kidn of person who will see a horror movie cause, yes, I will look over my shoulder for the next weeks :ninja:

But in terms of games I'm more scared by things tht happen out of nowhere when you're not expecting it...but I don't think I was ever freaked out (possibly because I will never buy a game like F.E.A.R or Dead Space anyway )

A long long time ago, I was maybe 6 or 7. There was an old DOS adventure game I think it was the one that was an adaptation of ringworld. Anyways, I played a small part of it where you need to go in to the cave or something like that. Gave me a choice on how to handle it. I chose to send my burly sidekick dude in and went back to my ship. Cue to watching a headmounted camera on my sidekick as he walked down the cave...and is eventually knocked down with some skeleton hooded guy standing over him laughing. There were more choices after that point but I never played it again. I don't remember the name, so I can't. I'm not entirely sure it was ringworld because it was a collection of DOS games(Like Blue Force), and I don't remember which one it was.

The Lurking Horror. A really old text-based horror game. Bet no one has ever heard about it. :unsure:

Penumbra, and water levels. I don't know, something about water makes me feel really uneasy. It slows you down, makes it harder to see, impossible to fight... It's not an environment made for humans. Creatures like leviathans and sea-serpents scare the [censored] outta me, and intrigue me at the same time.

When I first purchased Minecraft that game almost gave me a heart attack on several occasions. Mining by yourself or spelunking puts me on edge. It still makes me jump sometimes.

I remember the first time I played that mission, I didn't want to open the washing machine. Going into the boiler room probably got me the worst. The developers did such a good job on the atmosphere for that mission. Those nice little touches of turning on the washing machine at the rigth point or opening a door and seeing a child's toy roll across the carpet of an empty room. Good times.

OI was scared when I played Doom and other first person shooters when I was a kid

Probably why I don't like them now :laugh:

I remember that level in Condemned 2! It just says, "BEEEAR!" and you have to run for your life! Awesome...theres also a part in Condemned 2, if you remember it, toward the beginning where you walk into a building and you see a mannequin. Nothing weird, you see them all over the place. Well you have to backtrack, as you walk back into the room there are two mannequins...you go back, and there are five or six mannequins...and then you go back the last time and it's a room full of mannequins, just staring at you and brief whispers are heard. Part always freaked me out...

I'd have to agree that when I was younger Red Mountain also freaked me out. And The Thing for the V1 Xbox. And Nightmare Creatures for Sega Dreamcast used to scare the [censored] out of me. Of course there is Dead Space 1&2, but...that goes without being said.
