ITT: stuff that scared you as a kid.
>>317533694
I don't get it.

>>317534094
This game was pretty spooky in general.
I was never able to finish it as a kid though, I should pick it up again.
>>317533694

This fucker. I noped the fuck out when I saw him.

Matthew, get off the computer right now.
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
The entire fucking game
>>317533906
I think OP is talking about the game over music it plays
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWqEMCC8O_c
>>317536842
yeah, pan flutes spook me too
>>317536350
I would not play that level for several years until I turned 14.
The window in the police station. Even more than in the first game with the dogs. I knew it was coming, but it still got me every time.
>>317534476
?
>>317536350
This was tense for me, but in a laughing "holy shit, he's gonna get ya!" Kind of way. The only thing that truly scared me as a kid was the sewer level in Shadows of the Empire.
Every time I wanted to play Luigi's Mansion as a kid I'd always get spooked the fuck out by two things.
>The lightning strike cutscene/power going out
and
>This fuck
The Gamecube REmake always scared me shitless, even during the day. I haven't even finished that game yet.
>>317537040
This too, but at least I finished it.Once.
Donkey Kong backgrounds were pretty scary.
Not exactly "scary," but the Secret Aquarium level in Mario 64 still kinda creeps me out when I think about it. I don't have a fear of heights or drowning, but... it's just this cube of water floating a million miles in the sky. Gets even stranger when I consider that it exists outside the realm of being a "world in a painting." It's just some place you can fall into via the hole in the Jolly Roger Bay room. Not a painting, not a world it's just... there. An aquarium for God only knows who.
>>317533694
The Neverhood. The art style and the lack of music scared me
>>317537889
Mario 64 had a lot of really creepy, mysterious shit like that. It was definitely made in that era where early 3d graphics just made everything look and feel surreal and off. Some of the music didn't really help alleviate that feeling either.
They're coming soon.
Maybe you should think twice about opening the door.
>>317538320
Jokes on you. I never answer my doorNo one ever comes to visit
>>317537806
This.
I was always creeped out by the humanoid figure in DKC2's swamp background. (It's on the left side of this picture)
Did anyone else notice it or was it just me?
>>317538526
Shit man, I'm retarded.
Here's the image.
>>317537553
God, Luigi's mansion used to be terrifying for me. Everything was so perfect about it; the lighting, the designs, the lore, and oh god that soundtrack. Used to freak the shit out of kid me.
>>317538240
True enough, but for some reason, this is the only thing in the game that actually bothered me. It wasn't the painting of Peach that would turn into Bowser, the "flooded pueblos" skybox of the Wet-Dry world, the piano in the Boo's birdcage, or anything like that. Just this inexplicable existing encasement of water from which there's no actual escape (aside from getting a star).

>>317533694
This slut scared the fuck out of me when I was a kid.
>>317538623
I don't see it?
>>317538240
If I were to ever create a game I'd aim to subtly recreate those feelings
>>317537916
>>317538240
>>317538657
Strangely the only thing that scared me in Mario 64 was going into the castle and hearing Bowser laugh and tell you to leave.
>>317537553
Bogmire was especially trippy considering he wasn't even your standard Ghost, he was just...Bogmire. Up until then you were adjusted to Human Ghosts, Vaguely-Human Ghosts and Boos.
>>317537916
With you, brother.
>>317538623
I don't see it. Could you highlight it or something?
>>317538830
Here mate, I circled it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaNUGYEZ2gY this fucking thing
>>317533694
I see people say this a lot. Never did it cross my mind that this image could be seen as "frightening"
if anything my brother and I thought it was pretty hilarious. You guys just a bunch of pusscakes or what?

>>317538996
oh shit you're right
I'm surprised I never noticed that before.
the SNES game Lagoon. Just something about it. The music, the graphics, the enemies and the way they are animated...
I dunno. It was just unsettling for some reason.
>>317538623
I see a man on the right of that picture.
>>317538727
SM64's art-direction pisses me off.
Everything about this.
>>317539196
I think I see what you're talking about.
He's yellow, right?
>>317537371
The worst were the Wampas that would just appear around corners. Loved that game though
This whole area. Noki Bay just didn't sit right with me.
>>317537242
Pretty much every level in a Rare game.
Seriously, for some reason I always got fucking spooked.
>>317538996

Nonetheless it as pretty surreal and spooky.
The music helped that:

for what reason
The House of the Dead 1 I was fine with but the zombie designs from 2 made me stay the fuck away from it.
Eventually I got over it, but holy hell whenever I saw one of those I avoided it.

It was one of those fucking Muppets CD-ROMS for a seriously old Mac my dad had
One of those kinds where all the graphics are prerendered and had that weird cross-hatch pattern on everything
There was some interactive scene where you were looking at this really dark attic and it had that really dirty and uncanny late-90s CG look to it, and there was some stack of like TNT
You could click it and there was this really loud bang and flash and then everything would be black and Scooter's eyes would just suddenly appear in the darkness and blink at you
I can't find anything about the game now but it really wigged me out when I was little
being able to drive Pac man insane was pretty scary and deep

Winky's walkway and other cave levels were scarier to me. And the factory was pretty creepy in DKC 1 and 3.
>>317538240
The music in DK64 scared the shit out of me as a kid.
It still makes me a bit uneasy today, but now I realize that the scariest thing about the game is how bad it is.

Big Boo's Haunt's music was fucking trippy to listen to.
Also, the dungeon them in the first Zelda was creepy to me
If you really listen to the background you can hear this little high pitched beep that goes with the song and even changes pitch. I remember thinking it sounded like some kind of 8 bit yelp or something.

I made my friend play through any part that had these things until I grew up and they suddenly they werent scary at all. I miss those days, I wish I could still get scared by stupid shit like this.

There isn't. You can swim to the windows and look any direction out of them. It's just sky no matter where you look. I mean, the thing can have an extremely tall foundation, but that's about as far as it can go according to what we can see of it.

Yeah, something about it creeped me out, but I was always intrigued by the graphics, colors, and sound to keep going. It was (to my younger self) a great adventure game. Really got a sense of how big the world is, and having Jareth in tow was a plus.

I got to talk to one of the developers a while back when we were all in a discussion about SNES games he worked on when he was part of Acclaim.
I talked about how creepy and unsettling it was, and his response was "Yeah, I don't know what the fuck we were thinking when making that game."
>>317540059
I didn't even like passing this game when I was a kid because it scared me, i had an irrational fear of zombies. What got me over it was forcing myself to play the game. Eventually played it so much I got good at it, and started playing with both guns at the same time.
That got me over that stupid fear.

I hated being humped to death by this guys, also the well level and shadow temple are spoopy as fuck. fucking bongo bongo, had some killer beats
>>317548070
The only reason why I got over zombies was because my rich friend who had HotD3 on xbox with 2 lightguns who knew I was piss scared of it. He turned on rainbow blood then the horror suddenly became comedic and then HotD became one of my favorite franchises ever.

Holy fuck yes. This. Are you able to kill the shark?
>>317549435
>>317537806
I loved the backgrounds and settings in the first game. It's like they were going for a bit of realism, which I feel they dropped after this title.
>>317534363

This sounded scary to me. The theme in itself sounds like something really freaky is going to happen at any minute,

DKC was honestly unsettling in a lot of ways, which is why it was strange it never bothered me as a kid.
Guess I was too busy trying to see barrels in a snow storm and perfectly time the blasts but just dying over and over again
The opening for Super Metroid did make me feel uncomfortable as a kid though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmmpZfRmBFk
>>317538240
For some reason, the Endless Staircase and Peach's portrait that slowly turned into Bowser's both creeped the fuck out of me when I was a kid.
>>317549876
As a kid, some things like the snow stage music scared me, but I didn't give other things thought until much later in life.
Like the stages that look like they were for humans. Obvious example being the 2nd-to-last world. Really strange, as if people use to be there.Am I going too close to Game Theory garbage?
>>317539885
I fucking ran up away from the PS2 when this happened.
>>317543701
Yep.
This skeeved the fuck outta me as a kid. I'd always rush to turn off the monitor before the screen would show up.

>that scream
used to play Gex 64 a lot as a child. This fucking guy with a knife use to terrify me in the Scream TV levels especially because he'd chase you.

I honestly don't know how I did it as a kid,but Tides of Time was a lesson in sadism and patience.
Turok Catacombs in general.
But more specifically the mile long crawl space you have to go through to find the piece of the Chronoscepter. I can;t find good footage of it since every fag runs the game through emulators which clean up the graphics and reduce the fog.
But N64 version of Catacombs is like the muddiest and darkest level of all time.
ALSO
Those portals you can enter where you have to jump though swinging knives and blades to get powerups, and your in some kind of dimensional rift, and it is never explained in the game and extremely cryptic as to how to make them appear. I don;t even think they were mentioned in the manual and I only ever found them in the first level or two.
this kinda
it intrigued me more than frighten

"The darkness of the afterlife is all that awaits you now. May you find more peace in that world than you found in this one..."

That's so unsettling.
Can you obliterate cities in the new game?
