Scary Videogame Moments?

[neverbeenkrissed]

when games get glitchy it makes me feel uncomfortable - like falling through the floor into the abyss in multiple N64 games (mario 64, zelda), and when games freeze on really shrill notes. it just breaks the whole sense of reality and is SO CREEPY

When I first saw the moon fall in The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. I was 9 or 10 years old back then.. and the final boss, when you fight the 3 stages of Majora's Mask. I still find Ikana pretty creepy too. I also remember me and my cousin playing Silent Hill 3. Everything was going well, until we met a Closer for the first time. That thing scared the **** out of us xD we screamed and turned off the game.

Yeah one time when I was around 8 years old playing pokemon pearl I went into Pastoria City, all was going well, but then half the map was completely white on the ground. Around half the buildings were missing, and about half of the people were missing. Really freaked me off and I turned off the game, fearing my game got corrupted

Another time I was playing pokemon ruby and I was going through that really annoying route early on that goes under the biking overpass thing and it froze in a battle after just nearing the end of the route on a really loud, annoying, creepy sound.

Glitches freak me out too, but pretty much only if they are unintentional. If I see a video on youtube about a glitch and it seems really cool but safe I do it on my game too.

Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker's forsaken Fortress.

I think the only scary moment I dealt with was anything undead/death-related in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

The first time I had to go into the catacombs to get the Sun's Song, the ReDeads just terrified me. I actually had nightmares for weeks. I couldn't have been more then 7 or 8.
Dealing with the Shadow Temple consisted of running in with my eyes closed and powering through it.

Honestly, I can't say I've been scared by any I've played. Although, I watched Pewdiepie play Outlast, thought about getting it. NO WAY! That game scared me so much!

Soma. When you first encounter those monsters that act like weeping angles, but reverse, I was so confused and scared. Doesn’t help the game uses static on top of the already loved robot noises.

Nice thread to resurrect!

For me it was the original Resident Evil. It was a quiet moment walking through a hallway and a dog burst through a window and made me jump so hard! I played the game a little longer, but I haven't played a horror game since

Recently I have been playing through Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, and while it's not a scary game, there have been a few times where my fear of heights has got my heart pounding while running up to a cliff and almost falling off. It's silly, I know since it's not real, but I give credit to the makers of the game for creating such a massive world that it sets off my fear of heights!

Whenever I died in Nancy Drew: The Haunted Carousel (and/or whenever the creepy robot talked to me), and also…when the Garfield website had those haunted house games. I’m sure these wouldn’t scare me nowadays, though.

Wait, like the official Garfield website? Had haunted house games??

I think so. They had two and I think they were basically giant ads for some bread brand?? It also had one called “Lasagna from Heaven” (not scary) where you played as Garfield with an open mouth and tan back and forth to catch food falling from the sky. (But avoid non-food.)

One time I was playing it as a kid, and didn’t realize that Garfield burped loudly after each level. My mom thought I was burping and asked if I felt OK.

That piano from Mario 64 in Big Boo’s Haunt. I think we can all agree that no one was expecting that thing to suddenly attack Mario the very first time we played the game.
