I'm surprised no one's mentioned the sounds in the Nether of MineCraft.

The monster noises in the normal world are creepy enough already. That incredibly disquieting feeling of "something's out there and it's trying to kill me"  |

Minecraft is a level of scary all on its own. It's creepy how it even terrifies you in the first place.
Anyhow, I played DOOM 2 again for a bit today and got reminded how hard it is to play while I'm jittery with fear. There are three games that, for some odd reason, never cease to scare me. They are Minecraft with peaceful off, DOOM, and Ravenholm in Half-Life 2. Zombies don't scare me, I'm rarely scared by horror movies, absolutely no other games have ever really scared me. I don't know why these do.
Well, the thing I fear most in DOOM is the fact that enemies can pop up from behind you or suddenly surround you. I posted earlier about non-euclidean space and all that. Dynamic and actively hostile environments are the next worst thing and DOOM is all for that. HL2 was probably the poison headcrabs. And Minecraft is just innately creepy.

Oh man, DOOM. When I was younger I was so terrified of that game, since I hadn't played it very much and thought of it as a horror game. Then I read something that made me think differently: something like "DOOM is a horror game until you realize that it's really a balls-out, "hell-yeah!" shooter." All it took to make me like that game was to think of it as a different genre.  |

I find living statues disturbing. Like the ones in the gate way to the river of flame in diablo2. They are non interactive objects but they turn their heads to watch as you run by. Actualy I found most of the animated sceenery in act 4 disturbing. I cohad no issue with the corpse piles of act 3, but eternaly writhing background objects are something else.

I remember when I was a kid, for some reason or another I just couldn't handle the bosses in Zelda: OoT.
I'd make it through the dungeons just fine, but when it was boss time, I'd freak out and give the controller to my brother instead.
Painting that change. Whether I'm looking at them or not.
Also. Yume-Nikki.

When I was young and playing Spyro the Dragon there were these enormous yellow monsters on one specific level that scared the ever loving shit out of me, and I'm not entirely sure why. You can see one right at the beginning of the video. I got so scared of them I had to make my dad kill them for me.  |

This doesn't have anything to do with videogames, but when I was younger, those animatronic robots from Chuck E. Cheese's scared the piss out of me.   |

I think it has a lot to do with that soulless, sinister look in their eyes. In a way it does have something to do with video games because I am noticing that "uncanny valley" effect more and more with games featuring "realistic" characters or in certain anime styles used.  I don't know about you, but if someone on the street was staring at me like that I'd just run. No questions, just running. (EDIT:) She kind of reminds me of the villagers that are staring you down all bugeyed at the beginning of Resident Evil 5, lol. |

I got so scared of them I had to make my dad kill them for me. oh shit that totally reminds me of the giant zombie-bugs in Jet Force Gemini, on Tawfret. Those things scared the fuck out of me. For the longest time I never went to that planet for any reason. |

Just started playing Shadow Tower for Playstation. First genuinely creepy game I've played in a while. Early in the game you travel through a prison area. You hear what sounds like clothes being ruffled about. It turns out that there's a room with a hole in the ceiling through which bodies are being dropped into a pit in the floor.
