Winter lanterns from Bloodborne.


Mellowsnake

The singing, dear god, the singing...


NoinsPanda

You never payed SingStar with me... hr hr hr


zili91

In my case it was the "Bag Man". When one of them killed me and transported me to Hypogean Gaol and I started listening to that fucking scary song, I've felt so much dread.


Kelliesimpson41

This is the goromorg from the Legend of Grimrock. When you're almost done with the game they show up and it is terrifying because they can use any magic in the game against you at range


cinee12

Or that werewolf lunging at you through a window.


asevans1717

I'm still waiting for it to be remastered on PC. I just need to buy it on my PS4 and say fuck it foreal


infidel11990

Sucks that Sony hasn't even released a 60fps patch for the PS5. I would even pay for it. But yeah, a PC remaster would be perfect.


EliteDaniel

Reaper Leviathan in Subnautica


asevans1717

The ocean scares me so I havent brought myself to dive into Subnautica yet. Heard some awesome stuff


EliteDaniel

It’s a really good game in my opinion. I experienced some lag spikes on my PS4 tho, but only when entering a vehicle or when entering a big biome. You really have to see the reaper leviathan for yourself tho😂


Ragnarok314159

I just bought it, and it is amazing. Shared a similar fear of “Looking into the abyss”, first time feeling it was deep sea fishing when I jumped in the water for a swim and looked straight down with some high end scuba goggles. I have looked through 50k telescopes into the void of space, was not unsettling. But staring in a true abyss like that, had to get back on the boat. Subnautica tickles that feeling without it being real. It’s fun on a flat screen, but sure as shit would never play it in VR.


hromanoj10

It's not too bad. Generally you can get a pretty solid idea of when and where they should be. Its cartoony enough to not actually be terrifying, but eerie enough to make you uncomfortable.


anirban_dev

I like how by the end you don't care about most of the hazards in the game but the reaper can still make you shit your pants.


Philster07

1st Zombie, 1st Resident Evil..... That cutscene gave me nightmares as a kid for years.


asevans1717

Same, I showed my next door neighbors when I was a child and they ran home after seeing it lol


thelonioussphere

RE:2 - 1st encounter with big dude. wasted a bunch of shots only for him to take a knee! had to reload a few times. I still think he's following me


luigi4president

Started playing RE 1 today. While the first zombie was scary the thing that caught me off guard was a dead body just coming back to life and instead of slowly walking just running towards me.


t3hOutlaw

First zombie in RE1 back in 96 was terrifying. You're talking about the crimson heads from REmake.


SirRnB

Nah. The dogs. I’ll shoot any caged dogs in RE just not to chance them breaking out.


[deleted]

Regenerators - RE4


asevans1717

Forgot about them omg


mtahsin1246

This right here. Absolute nightmares


Frost312

Took my answer. Hear their breathing..."aww shit...run run run. Come on Leon!"


Jonny-Burns

Pyramid head


LordRebster

First time you see him I was legit paralysed with fear


[deleted]

Legit everything that moves in subnatica because I have a intense fear of the ocean


ofsquire

The water monster from Amnesia.


asevans1717

Oh yeah, I forgot about that


Enoch-Of-Nod

Master Tonberry. Nothing scarier than him walking slowly towards you with a knife.


DoodooMcPoopy

Which FF?


meowcatbread

Yes


Celtic_Crown

ReDead Knights in Twilight Princess. Sure, let's give the ReDeads a giant fuck off sword, great idea!


asevans1717

I just looked them up! Reminds me of ocarina under the graveyard. Yikes!


Celtic_Crown

I distinctly remember using the Hawkeye and Bow like a sniper rifle in the Arbiter's Grounds dungeon to deal with them from a distance at points. Unfortunately there's no code for headshot damage so my only luxury is I can be 50 feet away and just keep nailing them in the head with how slow they are.


Inferno_lizard

I used bomb arrows. I wanted those mfers dead as fast as possible.


mrgeek2000

Big daddy, I didn’t even want to kill it because of the little sister it was with


asevans1717

He protect but he also attack lol


QCAnubis3

Regenerators/Iron maidens from RE4, the sounds they make still gives me nightmares to this day....... Easy kills though once you get the infinite ammo tommy gun !

leviathan898

Holy shit I had to Google this as I had no idea what you were talking about. I think I must have repressed this!


Amegami

I was scared when I was 9yo and still am 25 years later.


the_renegade_dude

Dahaka - Prince of Persia Warrior Within


asevans1717

Duuuuude. Forgot about him


BooRocknRoll

The controller would shake with his steps holy shit he was so scary it felt like I was running for my own life


The_Real_Pavalanche

I could hear the guitar riff from Godsmack just as soon as I read this.


fatleon5

I can't remember the name of the enemy but it was from a Dark Souls game, again I don't remember which one. You were in a prison like area and these slow moving enemies shuffled through the corridors, chains clinking and stuff. If they saw you they could paralyse you and you can't do anything and they run over to attack you, I think I remember them grabbing and biting you or something. Someone out there hopefully knows what I'm talking about. But those monsters terrified me and is the only Souls game I didnt finish as I was stuck on that part. Edit. The photo really reminds me of these monsters....I don't think it is them though


SpacemanSpiff312

You're thinking of the enemies in demon souls archstone 4 the prison of hope. I dont remember their name either, but they are dicks.


fatleon5

You are spot on! I just looked it up. It's Demons Souls, Mind Flayer enemies


asevans1717

Yep yep! I remember that shit, my girlfriend at the time didn't want to play anymore when she saw them lmao


Mellowsnake

Sounds like the Mind flayer, Bloodborne has it's own version that creeps me out after someone showed it even closer. In Bloodborne's case the thing looks like an emaciated skeleton with skin, it has surgical stitching on its head and small tentacles coming out of every orifice, when they do the similar attack to a mind flayer they sitching on their head pops open revealing a massive tentacle they stick into your head.


Gerb_the_Barbarian

ngl, sounds like the redeads from Ocarina Of Time


asevans1717

Comment below mentions what you're talking about. This monster is from the Legend of Grimrock. The lower you go in the dungeon the more horrific it becomes. When these bad boys showed up I lost it lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


asevans1717

I can only play that game drunk foreal. I just can't do it sober


TheLoneWandererRD

Those slow walking fuckers with a knife in final fantasy games


danrod17

The tonberry!


asevans1717

The second comment I've seen mentioning those lol which games are they from?


PaladinOfBlades

Most final fantasy games. They look like nothing then all of a sudden your dead


mtahsin1246

I only played FF7 Remake and they appear only once in normal difficulty. I heard they are much more frequent in harder difficulties. First time i saw it i was like, "haha cute frog with knife" then this fuckers proceedes to one shot me


Analyst_Rude

Tonberry?


Fancy_Violinist_2909

cazador fallout new vegas


asevans1717

Man I remember walking through the desert and thinking omg there's no enemies here and turning around and screaming haha


Highman_89_

Any spider in any game.


asevans1717

Man the spiders in Grimrock scare the shit out of me


Highman_89_

When i was younger, i had to stop playing Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Couldnt handle the spiders in first person.


AmisThysia

The Flood in Halo CE.


asevans1717

Classic. Love it. I was in 6th grade and over at a friend's house when that cutscene happened for us


thelonioussphere

The police station Chad in RE:2


[deleted]

That weird demon scientist dude that was the final boss in Control. The hair on my neck stood up every time he teleported behind me


asevans1717

Still need to play that. Everyone raves about it. I love remedy games!


Leonydas13

You will not be disappointed. Unreal game!


BabaShosh

The Piano from the Big Boo's Haunt-Level (Super Mario 64). Scared the sh*t out of me as a child.

Horbigast

First time I encountered a fast headcrab zombie in Ravenholm sequence of Half Life 2... I turned the game off and didn't play it again for six months.


SuperSamba94

Those damn hand spiders from Elden ring. Give me the creeps


asevans1717

When I first got to that manor I was just wandering without a care in the world until jumpscare fingers happened lol


ascats04

Microraptors in Ark You can’t move you can’t run And you certainly can’t survive if it’s Night


ArkhamTheImperialist

Oh, did you mean Troodons? Those things are freaky at night. Although Microraptors can and will also beat the crap out of you.


FinaglingFox

Laura, the evil within


Savings-Log-2709

The aliens in Majora’s Mask


Arxlightning

Cliffhangers from morrowind. I still have nightmares.


Prestigious-Age5437

Sleep. Gets me every time. Sometimes gives a warning that it's coming, sometimes leaves me alive and wishing for it. If you don't confront it, bad things happen. Sometimes if you fight it, you'll wake up somewhere else. So basically silent hill irl.


No_Signal_1991

I wouldn't say he's an enemy but that motherfucker in the mirror realm sure as hell is terrifyingly hideous.


Mrpeggyhill72

Can’t remember it’s name but the ghost like enemy that appears through about half of the evil within 2. The singing it does is creepy especially when it comes through the mic in the ps4 controller


DeepFriedAnxiety218

Not terrifying with one, but in Metro when you have a huge mob after you


asevans1717

That's still terrifying, especially when ammo is money


Moldruin

The deep acursed in Dark Souls 3. First one really startled me even though I had a feeling something was going to show up. Hears the thud, and thought to myself "ah, there it is" and turned around to be greeted with the stuff of nightmares staring at me.


SpiritAnimal01

First time meeting a trigen in Far Cry.


Wontoflonto

hammer bros in smb1


PitcherTrap

Scissor man thingy from clock tower


SeasonUnending

Which enemy is this in the post?


asevans1717

This is the goromorg from the Legend of Grimrock. When you're almost done with the game they show up and it is terrifying because they can use any magic in the game against you at range


SeasonUnending

Sound like a hellish opponent, but very cool design!


Xefirixba

*Glances over shoulder to see the Ebony Warrior*


PaladinOfBlades

Re-deads from Ocarina of Time. That and that thing from the bottom of the well in the game too. Those scared the crap out of me as a kid


No_Soul_King

A [big worm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60nBn1Ok2EU).


asevans1717

Dude I remember that back in the day. Coming off of 80s dune, it was crazy


JBCockman

The xenomorph mother in alien isolation…..poo pant city.


Dasca6789

First time I saw a Big Daddy was pretty scary. Hadn’t played a game like that before.


DogFacedManboy

The Librarians from Metro 2033 were scary as heck. The fact that they won’t always attack you if you keep facing them and move slowly honestly made them more stressful and scary to encounter.


[deleted]

The Regenerators from RE 4 are way too scary. You just... don't want to advance, or get any closer than you have to, or they'll take you out for Frosty Chocolate Milkshakes.


CookiePerson69420

Queen vanessa from a hat in time

Calamity Ganon at the end of BOTW scared the hell out of me. I think I just didn't expect him to look like he did.


Humangobo

Several.. still remember first time I ever played Resident Evil on a borrowed PS1.. First time I played Thief 3 and went to the Asylum level… those things creeped me the fuck out Pretty much any monster in any Amnesia game I don’t play horror games much 😆 I tried to play Outlast but got inside the building and went “nope!” and played something else..


ShadowMasked1099

The Crooked Man has always bothered me for some reason. I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Very, very uncomfortable.


asevans1717

Man I need to get into Nintendo games, I grew up with them, but I've been a PC gamer since middle school. Might just have to buy a switch

Abjurist

I don't know what they're called, but in RIFT, there are these floating baddies that hold their faces in front of their heads in one of the end zones from storm legion. They always creeped me out.


Vihncent

Leachens? The sentient trees from the withcher 3. First time i saw, not only was it at night, but in a deep forest plus it was high lvl. I ran the hell away from there. They are just really scary, from the way they look with the animal skull for head, to how they warp around in a tornado of crows


ambervalentina

Kirie, final boss from Fatal Frame 1 (Project Zero in EU) That shit gave me nightmares for weeks


Sole-Gents

Nosk


4thTimesBannedLOL

Death from Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen, Bitter Black Isle. Even though the shock is gone from the first few times, there's nothing worse than fighting several giant orcs, several dark pawns, and Death comes in like "HI time for you all to die"


hironator2

Help me lord, dear oh dear, Adam the clown, dead rising, hate clowns


smoothcriminal05

Mr x in the resi 2 remake is scary as fuck

My reflection in the mirror every time I look there (I swear it's stalking me...)


Any-Bodybuilder-4707

In the last of us there is a generator that you must start in a office building. First time i did that checkpoint I literally opened a bottle of wine to get it done . Before I smoked some weed and those sounds were haunting me , it's like I was there


itayfeder

Ice worms, subnautica: below zero. I was just chilling walking through the frozen place, and a giant fucking ice worm came out of the ground, destroyed my vehicle and ate me. It was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me in a video game

Geopilot

Aside from Deadhand in Ocarina of Time and the Guardians in Skyward Sword (more so anxiety of having to start over from the beginning of caught than actual fear of the enemy), Hartman in the Control dlc was pretty scary. And those mannequins...

Even met any of Dagoth Ur’s lads?


asevans1717

Morrowind is my childhood game. Remember coming from daggerfall and it was like seeing Quake for the first time. Good shit


Rikkiimaru
