Scary Videogame Moments?

[StarMayor]

I think we've all had our moments with something scary in a videogame, whether it's a horror game or not, as managed to scare us, either by making us jump or by giving us a nice slice of fridge horror, or even just a creepy atmosphere. So this is a thread to talk about, and remember those moments.

I'll start with one of my more recent ones.

This happened only last night. I was playing Skyrim and I was exploring the wrecked ship in the North. So I was doing my usual sneaking around with a bow at the ready, just in case something was there. It felt pretty eerie already, due to it being empty with the exception of some dead skeletons. I turned a corner and a huge mudcrab came out of nowhere. I'm not exaggerating, these were bigger than regular mudcrabs. It startled me something fierce. I know it doesn't sound scary. But when it's one in the morning, you're tired, you're slightly disorientated from the way the ship is tipped, and you've just been fighting your way through a draugr dungeon to find a Word Wall, you might find your paranoia levels have been slightly jacked up.

in minecraft i made a dirt hole and dug myself in it because it was almost night time and i didn't have a bed, so i just dug up a hole and covered it so no mobs could get me. then it was daytime in the game again so i dug up a hole so i could get out and then a creeper suddenly is right there where i dug the hole at trying to get into the little cubby thing in the ground i made, and i literally screamed out loud and put a block where the hole was again. i swear it was the most terrifying moment of my whole entire life

Whenever I first started playing Minecraft I literally knew nothing about the game so I freaked out when a spider came at me and I quit the game and didn't play for a good couple of days.

I was playing Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, and I jumped when

the ground first starts violently shaking. It doesn't sound so bad but when it's been somewhat calm with the eerie music and occasional thumping, shaking and things falling can catch you off guard.

Spoiler'd it since the game only came out like two days ago.

Hmm, when I played slenderman at night with my brother and then he stopped so I questioned him why did he stop. He then slowly turned around and nothing was there so we he turned forwards again, slender was right in our faces and we screamed for a while.

I've had several occasions in Left 4 Dead in which I literally walk into or land on the witch. Every time I had to pause the game to clean my pants.

RESIDENT EVIL. These games are meant to be scary, so there's a lot of creepiness along with a lot of jump scares. Such a shame the newer games aren't scary any more... Anyway, there are way too many scary moments throughout the earlier games, so here are a few gifs of my favorite game in the series; Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. I only picked the non-violent, non-gory ones.

Spoiler: HERE YOU GO

The walking dead, episode 1. I watched this bit on youtube to get a feel for the game, don't read if you've not played.

Spoiler

basically, its in Clems house and I'm talking to her on the walkie talkie. I knew a zombie was coming and I couldn't contain it. I don't scare easily but I screamed haha! after that everything else was fine. I think it was because I knew it was coming. Fab game! You should all get it.

Fatal Frame II on the PS2 is a horror game and its main intention is to scare you while you progress so... yeah I've jumped a lot of times. My best friend loves horror movies, but she was really scared to play it... she ended up trying the beginning due to the urging of me and my sister. She peeked into a hole where you're supposed to take a photo, but a little ghost girl popped up on the screen and she screamed & flung the controller towards the tv (and missed, thankfully). I laughed. (our relationship is like this lol)

I'm not sure, I'm really not. I don't normally play gross video games, so I guess it was when a tarantula came out of nowhere and bit me in ACNL. I was scared to play for days.

I was playing some game on bored.com. I selected #3, that said it was under construction. The entire screen fizzed and there was a pop up window that said that that was childish and that the hard drive got wiped or something like that, and i believed it until i saw the that was childish part. i haven't been to bored for a week, when it happened.

Probably my worst moment was when I was playing Ao Oni. I had just escaped from one of the Onis(the block oni, I think) and while running away I ducked into this room. I had only a few seconds to recover from the "wtf is that thing!?" when one of the other monsters jumped up from the floor. I let out the most high pitched, girliest scream I had ever made. The worst part was that it was for a let's play, so that scream ended up on YouTube.

I know i'll lose some respect for this, but..
It was 2AM in the morning yesterday, And I played Minecraft.
It was night and I was lost, And I was looking for my Ocelot and Wolf. I left them somewhere and I'm still looking for them.
I headed into a cave filled to the brink with Lava near the bottom. Earlier at like 12AM, I was mining with my Wolf in that exact cave.
I thought I saw him in the dimly lit corner of the cave, and I heard a creeper.
I ran away and the explosion barely missed my character. I made a mini-shelter near the jungle biome in my world and I fell asleep In game.
When I went to that cave, I heard my wolf near the top of the cave and I headed up there, And found him.
Now I need to find my ocelot..

I've got another rather stupid scary moment.

Last night, I was playing this fangame for the anime Hetalia, called Hetapocalypse. It was based on a zombie apocalypse. During this one part one of the main characters ends up hallucinating or something(I think it was called a memory sequence in-game), and during this one part a rather graphic looking zombie version of the character pops up on screen. Considering that it was 4 in the morning at the time, I noped the heck out of there and kind of cried the rest of the night. ._.
