I don't get it.
This stage.
My uncle bob
>>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.
>>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.
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?
>>317533694
>diddy's eye
>>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.
Pretty much every level in a Rare game.
Seriously, for some reason I always got fucking spooked.
>>317538996
dude, i see an asian dude screaming, nude, shit
>>317538320
Don't do this to me. I was just about to leave to go get some food..
GET OUT

Holy shit, look at your post.
>>317533694
>Losing all lifes in dkc1
Casual as fuck
Am I the only one who played this game?
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.

Yeah I don't see what's scary about it either.

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.

Game Over music just sounds like any other game over music.
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.

That would be so goddamned cool even in modern Fallout. When you die it goes into a black screen then shows you your skeleton with all your gear (maybe picked clean sometimes depending on where you died) where you fell.

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.
>>317545185

>>317549407
Holy fuck yes. This. Are you able to kill the shark?
>>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.

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

No one ever says this in the threads I've seen over the years so maybe it's just me.
But the entirety of the underwater base exploration with the insane selkath, more importantly that diving suit part where you gotta push the sharks away with that sound emitter or whatever, the sonar thing. Holy fuck that part when I first played it as a teenager, that was very difficult for me to complete.
Also, that first runin with the Rancor where you have to use a stealth thing to sneak and put the grenade or a mine in something edible with the attraction aroma stuff.
Walking out beyond that doorway with the stealth field activated, and you can see it standing with it's back to you, just breathing. You just wanna get to that pile of bodies and get the fuck out immediately but you are forced to go slowly, so you HAVE to take in the tension and suspense.

It's not the image itself, it's the feeling of dread you got from failing. Seeing the ramifications of your own failure. Not only did you fail, but the heroes are the ones who paid the price for your failure.
That's heavy shit. It's all your fault. You sucked, and they got the shit beaten out of them because of it.

No other enemy has managed to so perfectly combine terror, frustration, and helplessness together, at least for me.

I have this game. I love it. Wait until you get to Wacky Land past The Alps. It ends the same way Mario Bros. 2 (USA) ended. There were so many cool secrets in it.

Why the fuck is this game so unsettling?
Jesus, this shit was terrifying, i dont even know why, i would close my eyes every fucking time
Getting spoken to from behind in Oblivion always terrified me because of the awful dialogue interface. Especially if it was someone who was pissed at you.
This all happens in a span of about three seconds:

>some angry fuck yells at you and forces you to stare into his dead soulless eyes

Oh boy remember that when you finished the game after the credits,Sigma's face appears again in blue?
Well me and my brothers were playing it on the living room at like 2am with all lights off.
When my brother shut down the game his fucking face was burned on our sight since it was the only light there.
We all busted out running and trip ourselfs and almost broke my brother nose.
Fun and simpler times
I was like 5

Yeah that's the face i meant, his face appear in light blue, at the moment the game was shut off,there were no light in the living room so even if we closed our eyes, we keep seeing sigma's face so we freaked out, i was like 9 though
this entire game was unsettling but especially that demon dragon thing that appears, as seen on the cover here
also im pretty sure im the only person to ever play this
>>317557401
Kind of loses its creepiness with the scottish accent to it.
>>317558240
This.
This game was actually pretty spoopy when I was a kid. Don't really remember much of it but you play as the monster hitting things with a stick in a robe. Kind of want to buy it for my SNES nowadays to try it again but I don't think it was very good.
>>317557401
The sudden no entry symbol covering the screen and evil laugh when unable to go someone in a transformation got me far worse.

this inspired my vore fetish
From the Prisoner of Azkaban game, there were these fucking creepy ass knights who stood still and had purple vision lights. When you got caught by them, all they would do was shake and stomp their foot.
The music during these scenes terrified me
This motherfucker, and it was all due to a premonition dream months before I got the game. I had to play Amy's story last and I'm still a little freaked out by him even now.
I watched my cousin play this game when I was a kid and I fucking terrified me.
I only recently forced myself to play HL2 and it turned out to not even be scary.
>>317533694
It spooked me as a kid too, but mostly because i would only watch my brother play the game before picking it up, and the crappy quality TV we had back then made it seem like DK had no eyes, so i thought they had been gouged out. That coupled with the eerie music scarred me for a while.
I've always had a phobia of wasps and still do.If I see a wasp near my front door, I'll jump my fence go in through the backdoor.
>>317536350
:'(
The DKC2 game over screen was much worse IMO. It conveys a very strong sense of hopelessness, the Kong clan is completely fucked because of your failure this time.
>>317560339
I never finished that game because I was always terrified of that southern jungle area with triceratops and the fucker in your pic chasing you around all over the place.

>any of those country towns during foggy nights
I think the one that scared me was that Blueberry town.
The fucking Game Over screen of Banjo Kazooie. I forget largely the premise of the first game but I think Banjo's sister was kidnapped by a witch or some shit and if the player fucks up too many times you're shown a Game Over screen where she's dunked into a cauldron or some shit and emerges from it all mutated and fucked up. She then has a dialogue box where she's essentially blaming you for the way she looks now or something. For whatever reason as a kid I hated going through and seeing that. Knowing that I failed this pixelated mess.
What also didn't help is that sometimes, under some conditions I can't remember, the little ugly witch would turn into a fucking babe for some reason. I think she stole Banjo's sister youth or something. I can't fucking remember. So you're sitting there with both parts grief and a boner. I never did finish that god damn game. I loved flying in it too much. I would platform until I could get some feathers to fly and then eventually plummet to my doom because flying was so comfy. Fuck collecting feathers.

This guy is the reason why I still haven't finished Majoras Mask despite how much I liked it. I still occasionally have dreams where he appears or an ominous feeling that he's above me in a dream and I refuse to look up.
>>317533694
I remember playing this in the living room as both my parents were there with me.
Not only did I suffer the embarrassment of a game over, I then was faced with this.
It scared me, not in the "Oh god, I can't handle this" way, but in an uncomfortable way.

These god damn fuckers in the island subgate. They would turn invisible until they were close enough to attack so you could only follow them by the sound of their footsteps. I literally dropped this game for two years before I got the courage to go back.
I just learned in my last play through that they could jump high enough to reach the top floor.I thought that area was safe as a kid.
>>317544067
fuck yeah Monster Party. I found the ending pretty disturbing as well.
>>317562682
You know something is going to happen but you don't know when.
>>317562685
I ignored MM just because of how that creepy fucker looked. Never got off into the Zelda franchise because of it. Only ever played the Wind Waker to completion and now I put that on a pedestal while ignoring playing future titles in the franchise.
And I remember the whole "you only have 3 things" crapped and assumed that as a player I legit had three IRL days to complete. Didn't have a Rumble Pak either so I assumed the game wouldn't save my progress so why even play this bullshit?
>>317562673
>nightmare creatures
Holy shit. Thank you for reminding me of this.
>>317543935
Oh shit Monster Party. Nice. Younger me had no chance.
Im surprised no one has mentioned the "game over" sound from smash yet. It never scared me but alot of people said it freaked them out.
Nice to see the HOTD replies though, thought i was the only one.
>>317563356
Specifically 64 and Melee had pretty eerie game overs. Also the first time Giga Bowser ever showed up for me I probably sweated an entire pound through my armpits. I was not ready to see Bowsers trophy rise back up on the stage with that ominous music.

These guys in Metroid Prime 2. The way that they could almost always catch you even from another elevation was so terrifying. I hoped there wasn't a dark Torvus because I couldn't imagine how much scarier the dark version would be. I turned the game off the second I saw the portal.
>>317562657
In the sequel, you can eventually get a cheat code for infinite items. Only on the n64 version. I believe the 360 version was no-fun-allowed when it came to cheats or something.
Gets me every god damn time.

there was a kid at my school who said if you put him in the fridge and left your playstation on for 24 hours he'd be frozen in a huge block of ice.
I remember being pretty damn young and watching my father play this. It haunted me for weeks, I think it was mainly the voice that freaked me out.

I still dread this shit, basically I'm just trying to get through it as fast as possible while telling myself that I'm a big bad vampire, I'm not supposed to be scared of ghosts and shit.

This level had a weird feel to it.

>wait 2:30 through eerie cave ambience (which would never happen in game since the levels are either too short or you're interrupted by a bonus room or death)

This basic boot up screen scared me shitless. I had leave the room just to play Crash Bandicoot.

Bottom of the Well was spooky in general
The music contributed a lot to the creepiness

FUN IS INFINITE

When this fucking raptor first jumped out
>>317562415
The atmosphere in these games were beautiful. It's a shame the remake didn't quite capture that.
WiiU > ps4
Because it has games.

Unreal
AvP (classic 2000)

>>317544956

That office where the T-Rex smashes through the window. I fucking knew it was gonna happen and it still got me.
>>317573035
was just about to post this
fucking terrified me
>>317538825
Fuck, same here.I also lost my ability to scream in a high pitch after having so nightmares of these seven dwarf gnomes I had in my backyard. I'd have nightmares of them grabbing me outside while my family was all indoors at night and couldn't hear me scream to go inside and then the gnomes would put me in a boiling pot with a red background then they'd tickle me until I woke up from my nightmares for consecutive years.
On topic though,CRUSH HIS BONES.
>>317548778
This, holy shit, so much this
I was so fucking afraid of the oven catching fire that I just bought a microwave for my sims
>>317558820
man early educational software got really unsettling when they introduced audio. like random noises playing
>>317564421
that scream is fucking awesome.
>MWAAAAAUUURRR
>>317568014
my nigga, I was about to post this. I've always watched my brother play this back in the day and it gives me the creeps
>>317566704
would have been WAY creepier with tiny thin pupils
this bastard.
The StarCraft Broodwar intro
>>317539445
I can see that Bee Movie guy's head laughing on the top half. I'd post the pic but I don't think I have it.
"Son I got this cool game for you"
>>317577681
my dad did the same thing
t-thank you father
>>317577681
nigga pls
Any DOS game on my own at night time when I was a kid was spooky enough. I think the lack of realism makes them feel like they're more detached from reality (though that's a good thing - but made me spooked as fuck.)
>>317577681
That game was rad as fuck, but I never understood what was going on in the plot
>>317540679
>>317540484
>>317540408
>>317540294
wtf
I thought you guys were talking about what looks like a kid from Hey! Arnolds head mounted on a spike
This whole game
fuck the facehuggers in a certain other game.
>>317558681
Because Ganondorf was a good Ruler and Link is the bad guy.
>>317558241
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!
>>317540898
I hear speak n spell voices.
Underwater squid things in the sewer level of shadows of the empire.
>>317547141
Fuck I hated that.
Safe rooms have to be safe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qViYbxSJ95g
These fucking sounds.
>>317543461
It's not scary in and of itself but you've never encountered anything like it in the game, possibly ever in your gaming career. Yiu are just investigating a new room then bam! Loud noise and damage taken. As an anon said, it was many people's first jumpscare.
>>317558240
I was born into 1992 so all it inspires is for me to yell "somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!" in Strong Bad's voice.
>>317571256
That electronic hand that appears earlier was pretty creepy too. The ruined camp was enough to make me find the rest of the game unsettling even though it was mostly harmless stuff out there, maybe it was the knowledge that I'd have to return to the camp eventually anyway.
>>317568014
This game gave me nightmares until I was 19 years old. I have never forgotten the hub music and could sing it to someone right now after all these years.
