Unhappy Video Game Moments that Scared the Crap Out of You as a Kid

1. The Moon in Majora's Mask: I would try everything possible to avoid looking at that thing. If there was a time when I absolutely had to look at it, I would make my sister do it and go into another room. Sometimes I would avoid looking up into the sky in real time because I thought it was watching me


2. Redeads in Ocarina of Time: These things still creep me out, especially that sound they make. When I first saw them I thought they were people so I went up and tried talking to them and they next thing I knew my life was being drained out of me and I died.


3. Gastly from Pokemon: The first game I got for my new Nintendo 64 was Pokemon Stadium. When I first saw Gastly, I freaked out and refused to play the game for awhile.


4. Evice from Pokemon Collesium: I was a bit older when I faced this guy but he still scared me. The creepiest part was just that it was totally unexpected. They play this happy music and out of no where he transforms and this creepy music comes on. This was the one thing preventing me from beating the game, once I got over my fear he was easy.


That's all can think of for now. I'm scared really easy so these will probably seem silly to you. Feel free to share your experiences.

Manhunt for the PS2, and I was like 14/15. I was just terrified whilst playing this, it's so eerie and creepy, and this was in the day! I'd even go as far as to say it scared me more than nearly every scary film I've seen. Wouldn't have dared play this at night time, lol.

That music haunts my dreams to this day.

The only game that ever scared me was Doom 3. Light out, volume up, all alone... eep!

System Shock 2...when you hear the Human/Annelid Hybrid and Cyborg Mid wives call out to you. The whole damn game is rather creepy, though.

One scary moment is when you meet Dr. Janice Polito...

I remember being really scared at parts of the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I had to get my brother to fight most of the temple bosses for me. (Especially Shadow Temple and the well in Kakariko Village).

Fortunatley past that now. I now like games like Silent Hill. I did recently find this game that managed to give me the creeps though - Penumbra Black Plague - take a look:

Early teens, resident evil for pc where the zombies grab you through the windows in the police station. The licker also scared me half to death.

Now- Doom3 and Fear made me jump a few times. The worst game was deadspace, it was so creepy that i could not even play it.

Hearing the Forest Temple music in Ocarina of Time.
I don't get creeped out that easily, but after that, then a wallmaster (giant hands that take you back to the beginning of the dungeon)...yeah

Silent Hill. The start of the game where all the trolls come up (and in the game you have to die there). Later on in the hospital with the nurses creeped me out a lot too. Ooh and the school .

Aliens vs Predator 2 (marine campaign): Holy hell. Very fun and scary missions. Aliens would jump up from anywhere.

Resident Evil Remake. To me this was the most perfect horror game of that style. Very fun to play and my friend and I would take turns playing. A good horror game is one that makes you dread your turn on the controller.
Ooh and I had no idea what Lisa was. All I saw was a glimpse of her as I changed screens over. I was too scared to look back ^.^

I like the part where the marine says this on the radio:

“Oh noway. Someone tell me that’s just a boot. That better be a boot.”

those damn crimson heads
I think it's the second best resident evil game out there. The best is Resident Evil 2.

"...heeey, it's a boot!" aha

I actually liked REmake better than RE2. RE2 was great but once I got out of the police station it stopped being scary. They are my top two favourites though.

Wow, how could anyone play that!

And oh yes, Alien Vs Predator as well as the original Alien game gave me the creeps.

I used to get really freaked out in King's Quest IV when the witch would pop out the crevice or whatever that was.

There were some tense moments in Commander Keen, too.

Answering the OP - Silent Hill demo which came with Metal Gear Solid. Eventually fell in love with the series and played SH2 & SH3 when I was older, but I never touched the first one again.
