ITT: Things in vidya that freaked you out as a kid
Hard mode: No horror games
Pic related really freaked me out, his voice and laugh especially, his brain form didn't help either
For whatever reason when playing Pokemon Sapphire as a kid I was really freaked out by the whole "Kyogre flooding the world" thing, especially since I never fought any legendaries in RBY or GSC and thought it would actually be some crazy battle against a all-powerful opponent, and the characters were making such a big deal about it I thought there would be lasting repercussions in the game if I lost. I was so freaked out I deleted my save file and started a new game.
When I played Majora's Mask for the first time and got to the Dinofols in the Woodfall Temple I immediately shut off my game. This was back when vidya bosses actually scared me. I couldn't just stop, so I stocked up on every consumable item I can get. I didn't even need them. It was so easy that it kicked my fear for good.

The entire level in general but the ghost and his laugh at 0:56 freaked me the fuck out

Why was your reaction deleting the save file and starting over?
It's the same story

The train conductor on macbeth scared me the first time I went there instead of Titania as a kid.
I'm not really sure what it was, but his face just disturbed me, plus it was late. Also both brain and robo andross
This boss really bothered me as a kid. Keep in mind I was maybe 3 years old at the time. I remember feeling terrified every time he flashed red and charged at me.
This whole fucking game was a nightmare for me. The later stages just looked like the insides of some fucked up creature and then there were suddenly demons. Didn't help that the draw distance on PS1 was fucking garbage and everything faded to black like 10m infront of you.
Not a horror game, right? It scared the shit out of me, but I couldn't stop playing it. The alien designs, the draw distance and the ambient sounds were the worst.
Also a few things in Ape Escape and the eels in Mario 64.
This song scared me for some reason. Especially the string at 0:26. I would always try to run through the castle super fast so the music wouldn't get to that part.

I remember having a neighbor kid come over and get me the eel-related stars back in the 90s because I wasn't having ANY of that shit.
I couldn't even get past the Forest Temple in OoT as a kid because Wallmasters scared me so fucking much.
I've finished it since and I've seen much scarier shit, but they still stress me out to this day.

Haven't got an image for this, but...
The yellow serpant-like fish in the Naboo Swamps in the Phantom Menace PC game.
Freaked me the fuck out, couldn't get past them.

>macbeth engineer
you are not alone. In fact, he was deemed too scary, and Nintendo had to censor him in the 3DS remake
the eel in super mario 64 and the sea snakes from majoras mask. i cant handle underwater levels with huge monsters.

I was only scared of that after reading the sign.
For me it was megamal legends whenever i was underground and hearing the reverbots. It got to me so much that even to this day i feel anxious about it.
Skulltulas from OoT

I actually just figured out recently that slashing the cursed Skultulla family in the back results in them like realistically screaming in pain.
Really caught me off guard, OoT is weirdly dark sometimes.

Fuck you anon, but specially the invisible fucks who you hear run at you and tackle the shit out of you.
i was too scared to go near her doors in DK64

Every time the shadow appeared I would fucking panic and roll around like a regard. I think my cortisol regulation is permanently messed up from these fuckers
>>335878854
I'd that Toad.
>>335875954
I don't remember any so I must have locked them away but things that freak me out now are those fucking abominations and screams in Irithyll Dungeon in DS3

Glad I'm not the only one OP, first time I got there on the hard route I slammed that reset button.

Dodongos in OoT scared the shit out of me. Made my sister fight King Dodongo for me.
Of course all the stuff that's supposed to be creepy scared the shit out of me too.
Fuckin' Ecco. What the fuck were they thinking?
Original arcade game is fun, but I owned the remake for PC. The intro scared the living hell out of me. Loved the game, just couldn't watch the damn intro.
