I hate how sanitized the Sims became as SOCIETY moved on. 2 felt like a shadow of 1, and 3 was full moron. I don't even know what to call 4. Globohomo?
Fable 2. I think it was one of those areas where you have to go past a wall with a face? https://youtu.be/04cHGu1y-FE
Scared the shit out of me as a 10 year old kid.
Man the timing is completely off on this one. It's supposed to scare you when you get to the third panel with the small text, but give you like 2-3 frames with the expression changes so you can actually see them.
The phone in the game can ring and when your sim answers it, you get a 'funny joke' in the form of a crank call. They normally say dumb things like 'Is your refrigerator running? yes? better catch it!" but for some reason, there's THAT crank call that sounds really fricking ominous. Nothing happens. But it makes you think something will.
It's not the only ominous one though, more than a few are completely bizarre and a few are equally ominous, like "the end is near" or "they're coming soon." That's what made it great in a way since you'd get these incredibly weird calls that you might mistake for actual in-game hints that you should or shouldn't do something (like going into build mode), when they were all simply there to frick with you. Even if you realized some were fake, you might still get fooled by others.
>if a game included stuff like this now there would be a shitload of shitty 'theory' videos on youtube about it within a few months
I hate this timeline.
>Hello! it's me, onions-man#20127 bringing you another game theory video. As many of you know, your sim can receive... *ominous* prank calls... but are they really pranks? In order to understand the possible implications, I'm going to run you through the concepts of anti matter, quantum physics and the Johnson-Reed act...

On top of the fact that it played this when the text came up. Sims 1 really had this clever dark humor tied to it that the other Sims games removed in favor of a more cheerful and woman oriented experience.
Honestly, I was expecting more from this dinosaur since Ganker memes it so much
Also I was thinking that he disappeared once and that was supposed to be scary, but then I understood that i was in other corridor
Everyone calls the hotel as the scariest part of the game
but honestly the fact that you are undead kills a tension a bit, you are not a man exposed to supernatural, you are part of supernatural nature going against other supernatural, reminds me of man vs kangaroo videos
This and the fact that your only way of healing in hotel is staying still, so I waited good few minutes total after taking a cup to a face, might have killed tension too however everything involving DMP, this shit was unnverving
I remember during the section in the kitchen I accidentally stepped on a pot which instakilled me. The idea of that happening again scares every time I play that part since I lost more than a bit of progress.
It's more the fact that's it a wakeup call for people who think they are the scary monster and arenew to the setting. There are worse things that go bump in the night compared to vampires in the world of darkness
There used to be so many jumpscares in everything back in le old internet as a kid it was a 50/50 gamble opening any YouTube video/flash game shit like Michael Jackson try not to cry challenge and a Garfield haunted mansion game fricked me up bad
it sure is. from her vol 13 behind the scenes from pinup files which you can find for free using google.
nta what a blast from the past. i'm going to whack one out to her tonight.
bro... i'm on a laptop on public wifi and the youtube embed took like 15 seconds to load... i got jumpscared from the fricking thumbnail. i am NOT clicking on that, damn.
What was even more fricked up about this jumpscare was that you didn't NEED to see it to beat that level. That part was essentially a hint. That means younger players who needed help were MORE likely to see it.
This was just straight up cruel considering it's a fricking Scooby Doo game. Seen less intense shit in actual horror games. Devs must've snuck this in for a laugh because I highly doubt some higher up would let that pass.
You don't have to actually open the sarcophagus so it is entirely missable, but it's still pretty fricking brutal to randomly just put in a flash game tie-in to a kid's movie. Even the text alone combined with the audio would have been pretty fricking spooky.
Well the game gives you a crowbar and I think using it to open the sarcophagus would be something most would try to do. It's one of the few times I'd really want to know "what where they thinking?" outside of them thinking it would be funny.
I thought I was the only one who got scared of this
The moment that shit came out I freaked the hell out and just ducked under the table crying for my mom to close the browser and by then the face was gone. I was just 5 years old bro. I barely even remember the face.
Thief in general had this.
Cursed Cathedral is the ur-example here.
Bit of a mixture between fear and sadness, but I never wanted to play the bonus stages in Earthworm Jim 2 as a kid and had my brother do them. I felt kinda scared of the dog going apeshit, but mostly I felt terribly sad and guilty if I let a puppy go splat on the ground.
Fricking want to murder Psycrow over the mixture of rage and frustration.
He didn’t scare me by himself, it was the fact that you are 10 times slower than before based on the counter. Also that he will punch to death the moment he touches your asscheek
yeah probably why i gamesharked upgrades and just skate around the town the whole time.
you dont go from having dope megaman music to ambient shit in narrow hallways. frick that man.
also hotpockets used to make pizzarolls back then and would eat those while playing
if anyone remembers wolfenstein 2009
this boss isnt really that scary in retrospect, but back when i played it first as a 10yo it terrified me
this and the nazi assassins
>Go looking for missing squad inside some sort of lab >The covenant, the ruthless alien conglomerate that kills humans as if it were childs play, are terrified >Friendly bleeps in the radar, yet they make no attemp to get close or even contact
Kino
thats my favorite horror level of all time. tne build up to the cutscene was amazing. spotting Flood outside at the mission start on subsequent playthroughs was nuts.
I remember one of these ads played at like 8pm at night when I was watching The Ripping Friends. I always wondered if someone from the TV station played it as a joke because I live in New Zealand so why the hell would there be a German advert played?
yeah, it only aired late at night though
was great if you fell asleep with the tv on and this crap woke you up
there were also different ones, all with a jumpscare, although the car one is the most effective one
[...]

I always thought that video was edited and not a real commercial. What the frick.
I was much more partial to the Girls Gone Wild advertisements they would play in the dead of night. Wanked my preteen willy to that one countless times.
Made it very easy to fap to censored jap porn later.
hmm interesting. on one side i like this because it shows japanese women have been so mindbroken by anime that they understand they should behave like sex toys at all times. on the other side, the mindbrokeness is so deep that it looks at bit odd, either way though it's positive all around
You just never know when or what to expect in Minecraft once you go underground and it's so easy to get really lost when you start exploring caves that branch off your mineshaft.
it used to be. back when I didn't know how to play it fully. skeletons have immaculate aim now, so there's no chance of you hearing the arrow miss sound if you don't already see the skeleton. it just hits you immediately. creepers are as easy to avoid as ever, and pretty much every other enemy is just annoying because you notice it before it can get at you.
I haven't actually dealt with the warden yet because i havent played since it was added.
You just never know when or what to expect in Minecraft once you go underground and it's so easy to get really lost when you start exploring caves that branch off your mineshaft.
that raises a good point. minecraft caving solo is scary as frick
then you get lost if you aren't prepared. reminds me how i quit subnautica when i had to explore a sunken ship and navigating that was disorienting as frick as you're going all over the place in an axis like that while you're runnin outta oxygen.

I'll say this: Some of Jim's death screams unnerved me, like the one from the first game where you're bungee jumping against that booger man. If you fail he makes a horrid scream.
>Literal toddler game >A dragon appears, everyone dies, some animal gets hit by a lighting, i think someone actualy explode (with blood i think) >Goes to the tower to revert all the changes >Music stops, if you fail to many times the final puzzle, Werdna appears to rape you
>meet cute talking animals and wise talking trees >do various quests for them >chase a friendly rabbit to a watch tower >fall asleep under the stars >when you wake up everything is red >all the creatures you met lie dead on the ground and interacting with them make their body twitch and the soul leaves the body >even the wise tree which guided you for the first half of the time is dead >need to solve puzzles under pressure and if you fail, an evil wizard shows up, ridicule you and murder you
That didn't have shit on the zombie levels. Other than a couple of funny tombstones they just dropped all the comedy and gave you a scary level with creepy quiet music as zombies lurk around corners.
the fricking war part. i replayed the game recently and when you first enter the base, you get that loud scare chord every time the tediz ambush you. they're easy to predict but they still scared me almost everytime, just like when i was a kid
You guys don't know. Imagine downloading a cool source map and getting jumpscared by a fast zombie in the middle of an entirely empty map. I feel bad for kids these days who have to deal with that quandale dingle npc that chases you around and ear rapes you.
Garry's Mod is not scary. Garry's Mod is fun. I spawn armies of Combine, rebels and zombies and a Breen in there somewhere and have them duke it out. I make some wild contraption to launch a Breen into the sky or across the map. I spawn absurd vehicles from barely functioning mod packs, half of which are pink checkerboards, and run over a Breen. I set off nuclear bombs that vaporize me and also a Breen.
Millenials mock zoomers, but their creepypasta was the same le creepy video game shit, with Godzilla or Ben Drowned.
It ultimately comes down to a sense of familiarity with the game, but with something slightly off.
Here's a good zoomercore creepypasta
It's a Garfield point and click flash game. Staring at this picture for a while would trigger a screamer just like that scooby doo game, just not as bad but way more cartoony.
>that one screamer circulated on /gif/ that plays on an extremely high volume regardless if your volume is set to the lowest setting >is so loud that firefox can't even process the high volume and just plays a single beep >try it with chrome >works normally
No, Clanker coming right at the camera with his mouth wide open as you swim into view of him gave me a deep swooping sensation I never forgot, even though he turns out to be friendly and isn't scary at all after that. I remember getting that exact same feeling from one scene of Finding Nemo several years later.
do any of you have that ONE image that makes you nope out of the thread at lightspeed? even after all these years if i see that picture of that dark doll with frizzed hair sitting on the bed i get a feeling thats worse than any jumpscare from the past. that picture is fricking sinister
The moment I began reading your post I thought "that doll image", and then sure enough, that's what you mentioned. I legit think there's something behind that one. Few things actually manage to scare me, but that's fricked. I'm actually leaving the thread because I know now someone will post it and I'd like to still sleep today.
Also that one image from an old ass european movie with a demon looking thing that supposedly was about sleep paralisys. I can't describe it too well, but the POV is like if you were lying down and staring upwards, and a devil was looking at you.
>checked out Scary Stories to tell in the dark from my school library >reading it by myself after school and homework are done >flip to this page >throw the book
maybe I didn't have it open long enough but it's just an image of a doll
but looking at it made me feel unease and like I was being cursed or some shit so I closed it pretty fast both times, that shit has to have some serious negative spiritual energy or some shit to have that affect through an image, I don't recommend opening it
I distinctly remember a level where you played as Angelica trying to find Cynthia and it had this strange orange hazy skybox and toxic puddles everywhere you had to avoid.
There's a video game where it's set on the London underground and I think you play through it like normal but one level there's a serial killer and you have to do some actions before he kills you. I forgot the game.
Also this ghost was always really fricking creepy.
>There's a video game where it's set on the London underground and I think you play through it like normal but one level there's a serial killer and you have to do some actions before he kills you. I forgot the game.
probably because it's very hard to find, more of an easter egg then something you'd find normally by playing the game. still a creepy message in an otherwise non-horrific game. the fact that it wasn't found until like 20 years later is even better.
>enemies encounter an even more deadly enemy you now have to face in an overwhelming amount
?t=6044
i quit the game as a kid because of this part it spawned so many of the head spine eels things they easliy swarmed me and made run for the eject button.
N64 Zeldas were so fricking creepy as a kid. And even as an adult, certain areas have literal horror atmosphere, like The well, Shadow temple, future Hyrule market or Ikana.
What about the the Crones of Crookback Bog from the Ladies of the Wood quest from Witcher 3? i feel like there was some psuedo horror element to this quest. Mainly just to do with the story telling with it.
This was the best storyline in the game for me. So much mythology implied by showing very little, which is the best way to showcase something like this.
It's a Piglet game. Piglet.
Not even Tigger, the most hardcore resident of the Hundred Acre Wood, in relative terms. It's Piglet, the little pig wimp. Why does his game have this in it?
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn8AI8LEMkRIMJvP0W7vwbp_sBei5QaWB
Anyone play Escape from Horrorland? Most of it is typical kids fmv spooky stuff, werewolf, a sea monster and Tim Curry. But you had these underground Doom segments where you had to collect coins while avoiding this monster. And not like regular monster like Eye of the Beholder looking shit.
>But you had these underground Doom segments where you had to collect coins while avoiding this monster
Just letting you know that i too played that part as as kid and considered it nightmare fuel. Surprised to see anyone mentioned it.
Sims 1 was so fricking soulful before EA ruined it almost immediately with their shitty sequels. So much wit and charm typical of a Maxis product throughout the 90s.
I've seen so much insanity in these last 10 years of clown world that I actually believe meme magic is real and as consciously measuring reality causes probabilities to collapse I don't feel it's out of the question that faith or belief actually affects reality much like 40k's immaterium.
woah, this is pretty cool
i think horror racing/driving games is an untapped market, theres a lot of potential for "you drove like a moron, now youre in a mangled heap of metal and caused 3 other fatalities"
Alright I remember seeing a Watchmojo or similar video about "unexpected dark/horror moments in games" or something and there was some game about two friends that has a fakeout bad ending if you don't save your friend in time. Couldn't for the life of me find it when I searched, I'm half-convinced I dreamed it at this point.
The Big Fish in Jolly Roger's Lagoon in Banjo Kazooie scared the frick out of me as a kid, I could not bring myself to jump into the water to continue.
It's incredible funny how muh liminal places, backrooms and source maps make Ganker seethe so much. Why? Because it's popular? Because kids having fun wrong way? Obsessive need to hate everything new?
Does anyone remember this one Cartoon Network flash game with fishing? I'm pretty sure it used Hana Barbara characters, and I remember if the line went deep enough below the water, there was this frick huge, grumpy lookin' fish that scared the shit out of me when I was around 5 or so. On other fish related horror, there's also that giant ass eel from Super Mario Sunshine that I actually find kind of cute now, since it leaves a bunch of coins in the shape of a heart as a thank you after you clean its teeth, which is really sweet, on top of it never meaning to do any harm to the Noki's to begin with. Still, the size of it and the glowing yellow eyes (not helped by you slowly approaching the damn thing due to how the swimming controls worked in that game) that made me scared shitless of it as a lad.
God damn it, wish I had that picture of that Snake 3D game for windows, it was all fun and games until you triggered the "Blood" option in the settings and had these weird, bloodshot eyes in the corners where you would usually just disappear and game over. But with the option, those eyes followed your every movement and when you slithered towards them the Snake would get eaten while screaming
I think the game was also for kids, Nokia Snake game but extreme. Wish you could play it nowadays though.
That tv show in max Payne 3 with blanka
It's not Blanka, it's a Curupira
>not the "mirrors are more fun than television"
ULP - Cleanup from GTA Online, especially if you finished the Doomsday Heist years ago.
It was so cool when we saw them again in totk
They aren't in TOTK
TOTK ones are Gibdos aka the mummies
But they aren't mummies in TOTK, they're bugs
OOT was pretty heavy on the spooky locations and enemies.
I hate how sanitized the Sims became as SOCIETY moved on. 2 felt like a shadow of 1, and 3 was full moron. I don't even know what to call 4. Globohomo?
3 is unironically my favorite just with a few mods. I loved the open world of it and the dlc
What mods, bro?
Been meaning to go back to 3 lately.
I like 3
3 is great. 2 would be the best if it had the open world thing
4 is just a porn game, fallout 4 tier
>1st game: criticism of consumerism, your sim barely has any free time, jobs pay like shit
>morons: uhhh game too hard?
Frick you.frick you
If you were scared by that you are a huge sopping wet pussy
>M-MUH MANLINESS! I DIDN'T FLINCH AT A GIF! LOOK HOW MANLY I AM EVERYBODY!!
Nobody cares
I laughed when I saw it because of how awful the transition was
corny as hell
>Nobody cares
Need to change your tampon, homosexual?
I've been forged in the fires of the early internet, so I have a built-in screamer detector in my head, can see them coming from a mile away now
It's flinching, and you can't really fight your animal instinct
>the zoom in
made it way too obvious, man.
I almost shat my pants at this one. It is quite subtle for a jumpscare all things considered but still
Game? I dont get it.
Fable 2. I think it was one of those areas where you have to go past a wall with a face? https://youtu.be/04cHGu1y-FE
Scared the shit out of me as a 10 year old kid.
>clown jumpscare
it's so milquetoast and common it didn't even faze me
The plastic thing kinda ruined it. Leaving it as ghost kids playing would have sufficed.
>clown
Ruined jumpscare.
ruined ghost time
you son of a b***h, haven't been caught by one of these in a while
>saw it coming
>still jumped
I should be mad but I'm happy you proved to myself that I can still get a spooked
>didn't see it coming
>still no reaction
Please teach me how to feel again.
Look behind you
frick you I just got chills
AAAHHH
There's a towel.
I SAID
LOOK BEHIND YOU
It's a wall.
lmao that's not gunna get me moron
there's no way something woul
Ah god there's light outside already, I've been up til the early morning again.
At least it's not the one with the spider that crawls down your screen.
You fricking c**t
came for the bad effects stayed for the chance at pantsu
>starts filming before anything of note happens
fake and gay
frick you got me
"alright where's the jumpscare-"
got me, here's your dopamine fricker
Got me. Kudos
Jokes on you, I'm to slow to get jumped.
didn't even blink
i dont play horror games coz im not fazed, not because im too scared
The swinging looked fricking unnatural.
fricker
frick you
I like to hold down the dot on the slider and just play back and forth the jumpscare at fast speeds while making racecar noises
My Summer Car
Wat? You mean the aliens or something?
mansion, ventii man, angry axe-wielding drunk. Also unintentional ones like random wanderers, moose jumpscares, cops, getting suski pregnant
that's just life in finland
are you ok anon?
No, I'm not
I remember a thief coming in and stealing my shower. Funniest shit I've ever seen
would be better without the dissection dummy photo in the background.
WTF were they thinking?
I immediately deleted all my doors and went into lockdown the first time that happened
now as an adult it looks moronic, but when I was a kid I dropped the game at this part because it scared me
Isn't that the last boss?
Did you quit after the bad ending or something?
If Rayman 2 was released today you'd have reviewers claiming the game ends too abruptly
god i wish that were me
Same lmao
3rd out of 6 iirc
playing a game in 2nd person view is unironically one of the creepiest things you can add to a game
probably why siren exists i guess
>jumpscares right when you open it.
Doesn't this one usually have a delay so you start to read it before it gets you.
gotta change it up for anons who have been got already
right when you open it.
did i fricking blink too long and miss it wtf i swear it didnt the first time
it took a few seconds for me
LMAO!
Shouldve moved into cheetoz for maximum soul
What
My thoughts exactly
go back newbies
>e-girlcon is okay because it doesn't actually harm anyo-ACK
>said he needed to check her body for radiation
>not just knocking her out
moron must've stopped reading once the old guy got in the house
works on my machine
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Why does he go on his computer in the last panel? Also is that a shadow of someone behind him?
classic
Nice try, I noticed it was a gif and was prepared
>I noticed it was a gif
how fricking new are you, this gif is like a decade old
Your jumpscare can't affect me because I only respond to bone chilling jump-scare-free atmospheric character driven slow burn horror
Man the timing is completely off on this one. It's supposed to scare you when you get to the third panel with the small text, but give you like 2-3 frames with the expression changes so you can actually see them.
frick you this one actually got me
I finished reading it and zoomed it frick you c**t
Have a look at bottom left when the jumpscare pops up
>fade in effect on a jump scare
>the delay doesn't even work
lmao you fricking moron
Never played Sims, what is this? Does this signify something bad is about to happen?
The phone in the game can ring and when your sim answers it, you get a 'funny joke' in the form of a crank call. They normally say dumb things like 'Is your refrigerator running? yes? better catch it!" but for some reason, there's THAT crank call that sounds really fricking ominous. Nothing happens. But it makes you think something will.
kek love it when games do shit like this to troll players. It'd be even better if there was a chance something will happen but only 0.01% of the time.
It's not the only ominous one though, more than a few are completely bizarre and a few are equally ominous, like "the end is near" or "they're coming soon." That's what made it great in a way since you'd get these incredibly weird calls that you might mistake for actual in-game hints that you should or shouldn't do something (like going into build mode), when they were all simply there to frick with you. Even if you realized some were fake, you might still get fooled by others.

>Father x Daughter
Cringe. Mom x Son is where it's at.
THAT VtMB level, you know the one
dinosaurs aren't scary anon
haunted house.. kino
I wouldn't say it's non-horror. It has plenty of horror.
>go to the museum
>go right
>scare ruined
kek
This had no business working so well, it doesn't even make sense, why would you expect a dinosaur to attack you
Honestly, I was expecting more from this dinosaur since Ganker memes it so much
Also I was thinking that he disappeared once and that was supposed to be scary, but then I understood that i was in other corridor
Everyone calls the hotel as the scariest part of the game
but honestly the fact that you are undead kills a tension a bit, you are not a man exposed to supernatural, you are part of supernatural nature going against other supernatural, reminds me of man vs kangaroo videos
This and the fact that your only way of healing in hotel is staying still, so I waited good few minutes total after taking a cup to a face, might have killed tension too
however everything involving DMP, this shit was unnverving
I remember during the section in the kitchen I accidentally stepped on a pot which instakilled me. The idea of that happening again scares every time I play that part since I lost more than a bit of progress.
It's more the fact that's it a wakeup call for people who think they are the scary monster and arenew to the setting. There are worse things that go bump in the night compared to vampires in the world of darkness
the Devil's House in MGSV is extremely memorable because it is very graphic and shocking, plus the area you had to traverse before set the mood well.
If this is what I think it is: This was so over the fricking top for a kids game.
I still can not comprehend what the actual frick they were thinking
I feel like the people who made this should have been arrested for child abuse or something.
Qrd?
XD
That's actually fricked up for a kid's game.
Man, that would've traumatized the shit out of me, that's hilarious
I have seen worse when I was kid and I grew up fine.
What showed up in the original gif?
There used to be so many jumpscares in everything back in le old internet as a kid it was a 50/50 gamble opening any YouTube video/flash game shit like Michael Jackson try not to cry challenge and a Garfield haunted mansion game fricked me up bad
bro i used to open every link by first muting my pc then opening in a new tab. i was on high alert back around 2010. jumpscares were EVERYWHERE
>new tab
Didn't have tabs until chrome came out.
I like to reminiscent about the older days of the internet but I'm glad that jumpscare shit is over.
>old internet
>YouTube
I dont have a reaction image for this.
your pic just reminded of the "when you see it, you'll shit bricks" image macros
who is this? i want to jerk off to her
De'fifteen Emgeetoo
Looks like Erica Campbell
it sure is. from her vol 13 behind the scenes from pinup files which you can find for free using google.
nta what a blast from the past. i'm going to whack one out to her tonight.
>Click on some random video that looks interesting
>Creator puts a fricking seizure bomb in the middle of it for le epic lulz
Dumbest shit ever.
>jingle bells backwards
I remember I jumped so hard i fell out of my damn chair
That was my first one and goddamn it left a mark.
Scream itself was the spooky part honestly.
I remember the "say it once say it twice" or something like that song screamer, that one was like the second or third one I fell for.
It was crazy how they made Garlfield Haunted Mansion so scary. It was a good game too, I loved playing it.
Don't break into a sarcophagus, you little shits.
bro... i'm on a laptop on public wifi and the youtube embed took like 15 seconds to load... i got jumpscared from the fricking thumbnail. i am NOT clicking on that, damn.
Fricking lmao.
>8 year old playing Scooby doo flash game gets traumatized for life
That's fricked up.
They even made the text super small so that kids would need to get closer to the screen… dang that’s foul
Not nearly as scary as entering a code in your sega cd in the early 90's and getting this shit
Normal kids don't know how to read moonrunes
Scooby-Doo point and click flash game, clicking on that coffin gave you a loud jumpscare for no reason
What was even more fricked up about this jumpscare was that you didn't NEED to see it to beat that level. That part was essentially a hint. That means younger players who needed help were MORE likely to see it.
This was just straight up cruel considering it's a fricking Scooby Doo game. Seen less intense shit in actual horror games. Devs must've snuck this in for a laugh because I highly doubt some higher up would let that pass.
What the actual frick was this doing in the game.
You don't have to actually open the sarcophagus so it is entirely missable, but it's still pretty fricking brutal to randomly just put in a flash game tie-in to a kid's movie. Even the text alone combined with the audio would have been pretty fricking spooky.
Well the game gives you a crowbar and I think using it to open the sarcophagus would be something most would try to do. It's one of the few times I'd really want to know "what where they thinking?" outside of them thinking it would be funny.
BRAVO GUNN

I thought I was the only one who got scared of this
The moment that shit came out I freaked the hell out and just ducked under the table crying for my mom to close the browser and by then the face was gone. I was just 5 years old bro. I barely even remember the face.
Thief Deadly Shadows.
if you can guess the connection between this and that thief level you win nothing
Jeremy Soule?
Rik Mayall?
Thief in general had this.
Cursed Cathedral is the ur-example here.
Fricking want to murder Psycrow over the mixture of rage and frustration.
the bomb section at the start scared me more than monster ock, still scary though
>the bomb section at the start scared me more than monster ock
how the frick
He didn’t scare me by himself, it was the fact that you are 10 times slower than before based on the counter. Also that he will punch to death the moment he touches your asscheek
hehe got me!

Legends 1 had the creepiest default dungeon music ever used in a non horror game
I loved that music.
MML's soundtrack is so good.
yeah probably why i gamesharked upgrades and just skate around the town the whole time.
you dont go from having dope megaman music to ambient shit in narrow hallways. frick that man.
also hotpockets used to make pizzarolls back then and would eat those while playing
Seeing the square full of redeads after leaping in time for the first time in OoT.
And all games could use a bit of horror.
The Angry Piano from Mario 64 made children piss and shit their shorts.
I was expecting a fricking jump scare and it still got me, frick.
I feel like this would be infinitely funnier and worth watching without the mask and it was just a dude.
u wot m8
>that cheap mask is so terrible they have to edit in a different spooky face after it

>grandpa jumpscare
Game?
Deus Ex
this got me good when I first played deus ex some years ago
finding the alien on the desk in hong kong did too
This prank call and "The end is near. Make preparations" are the best prank calls for sure.
if anyone remembers wolfenstein 2009
this boss isnt really that scary in retrospect, but back when i played it first as a 10yo it terrified me
this and the nazi assassins
Conker's Bad Fur Day has a ton of creepy set pieces.
Basically all rockstar games
Ive never had that impression.

thats my favorite horror level of all time. tne build up to the cutscene was amazing. spotting Flood outside at the mission start on subsequent playthroughs was nuts.

>tfw both switch Zeldas have no horror in them
Very sad state of affairs.
what the frick were they thinking when making this ad?
how the frick no one blocked that shit from airing?
i just don't get it
Qrd?
>read the comments before watching so I knew it was a jumpscare
>still got me
jesus I'm weak
I remember one of these ads played at like 8pm at night when I was watching The Ripping Friends. I always wondered if someone from the TV station played it as a joke because I live in New Zealand so why the hell would there be a German advert played?
NTA but it's a car driving down a hill and suddenly some zombie woman pops out of the bottom right screaming
It was for a German drink or something
yeah, it only aired late at night though
was great if you fell asleep with the tv on and this crap woke you up
there were also different ones, all with a jumpscare, although the car one is the most effective one
What does QRD mean?

I always thought that video was edited and not a real commercial. What the frick.
It's an ad for coffee and it ends saying "do you feel awake yet?" or something like that
Society gets softer over time.
I was much more partial to the Girls Gone Wild advertisements they would play in the dead of night. Wanked my preteen willy to that one countless times.
Made it very easy to fap to censored jap porn later.
This fricking thing got me good back in the day. Downloading "funny videos" on ares was such a crapshoot between jumpscares and scat porn.
You just outed yourself as a scat fetishist.
hmm interesting. on one side i like this because it shows japanese women have been so mindbroken by anime that they understand they should behave like sex toys at all times. on the other side, the mindbrokeness is so deep that it looks at bit odd, either way though it's positive all around
The average japanese person doesnt watch anime you fricking moron
well played
>not the .gif
I fell for it too but I guess I was lucky. Anyway, I guess the anglerfish and DLC in Outer Wilds?

Honestly couldn't get scared at this due to the raging boner I had from hat kids reactions to everything
The biggest jumpscares I've ever had in gaming were all inside Minecraft caves
You just never know when or what to expect in Minecraft once you go underground and it's so easy to get really lost when you start exploring caves that branch off your mineshaft.
Minecraft is unironically the best jump scare game.
it used to be. back when I didn't know how to play it fully. skeletons have immaculate aim now, so there's no chance of you hearing the arrow miss sound if you don't already see the skeleton. it just hits you immediately. creepers are as easy to avoid as ever, and pretty much every other enemy is just annoying because you notice it before it can get at you.
I haven't actually dealt with the warden yet because i havent played since it was added.
that raises a good point. minecraft caving solo is scary as frick
then you get lost if you aren't prepared. reminds me how i quit subnautica when i had to explore a sunken ship and navigating that was disorienting as frick as you're going all over the place in an axis like that while you're runnin outta oxygen.
I hate the little shits on twitter who think horror in a non-horror game is a reason to spam that stupid spongebob picture.
does the face stay permanently?
No, if you save and quit after, it'll be gone upon next load
wat game

Animal Crossing
looks like animal crossing for gamecube but idk never played
The gamecube Animal Crossing. It's peak soul, where the dialogue has a bit more bite to it.
I forget, what does this again? It's turning off the game in another town right?
>It's turning off the game in another town right?
Precisely.
this shit scared the shit out of me on my first kotor playthrough
Jokes on you, I have immunity dog
This fricking thing is the only reason i remember Corridor 7.
VTMB Oceania hotel level
Bit of a mixture between fear and sadness, but I never wanted to play the bonus stages in Earthworm Jim 2 as a kid and had my brother do them. I felt kinda scared of the dog going apeshit, but mostly I felt terribly sad and guilty if I let a puppy go splat on the ground.
Those levels were more frustrating than scary as were a lot of things in Earth Worm Jim.
Probably, but I'm talking about my memories as a kid.
I'll say this: Some of Jim's death screams unnerved me, like the one from the first game where you're bungee jumping against that booger man. If you fail he makes a horrid scream.
qrd?
The screams of agony stopped, they come.
ggg
frick you
I have no fricking idea how anyone could ever approve a game like this. My brother didn't sleep for weeks after playing it.

That didn't have shit on the zombie levels. Other than a couple of funny tombstones they just dropped all the comedy and gave you a scary level with creepy quiet music as zombies lurk around corners.
the fricking war part. i replayed the game recently and when you first enter the base, you get that loud scare chord every time the tediz ambush you. they're easy to predict but they still scared me almost everytime, just like when i was a kid
just be glad you didn't see the cut content.

Zoomer detected.
You guys don't know. Imagine downloading a cool source map and getting jumpscared by a fast zombie in the middle of an entirely empty map. I feel bad for kids these days who have to deal with that quandale dingle npc that chases you around and ear rapes you.
MY 14 YEAR OLD BRAIN CAN'T HANDLE THIS AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Garry's Mod is not scary. Garry's Mod is fun. I spawn armies of Combine, rebels and zombies and a Breen in there somewhere and have them duke it out. I make some wild contraption to launch a Breen into the sky or across the map. I spawn absurd vehicles from barely functioning mod packs, half of which are pink checkerboards, and run over a Breen. I set off nuclear bombs that vaporize me and also a Breen.
Where's the fear?
Millenials mock zoomers, but their creepypasta was the same le creepy video game shit, with Godzilla or Ben Drowned.
It ultimately comes down to a sense of familiarity with the game, but with something slightly off.
Here's a good zoomercore creepypasta

It's a Garfield point and click flash game. Staring at this picture for a while would trigger a screamer just like that scooby doo game, just not as bad but way more cartoony.
Great game. Taught me not to stare into anything online.
I don't know this one, but there was a Where's Waldo video where after about 45 seconds it jumpscared you with a scary face.

Did the pyramid maze from Banjo-Kazooie scare the shit out of anyone else as a kid or was it just me?
No, Clanker coming right at the camera with his mouth wide open as you swim into view of him gave me a deep swooping sensation I never forgot, even though he turns out to be friendly and isn't scary at all after that. I remember getting that exact same feeling from one scene of Finding Nemo several years later.
Fricking Black person. KYS
Get bent
The Ocean House in VTMB.
Frick whoever designed this level. No matter how many times I replay this game, I always jump from the fricking jumpscares.
do any of you have that ONE image that makes you nope out of the thread at lightspeed? even after all these years if i see that picture of that dark doll with frizzed hair sitting on the bed i get a feeling thats worse than any jumpscare from the past. that picture is fricking sinister
The one of the T Rex face with the weird shadows always freaks me out
HI ANON!
what the frick
o
for me, it's araki donut
The moment I began reading your post I thought "that doll image", and then sure enough, that's what you mentioned. I legit think there's something behind that one. Few things actually manage to scare me, but that's fricked. I'm actually leaving the thread because I know now someone will post it and I'd like to still sleep today.
Also that one image from an old ass european movie with a demon looking thing that supposedly was about sleep paralisys. I can't describe it too well, but the POV is like if you were lying down and staring upwards, and a devil was looking at you.
Anon you are aware that that doll is already in this thread right?
I'm assuming anon did left before scrolling any further.

Have you heard about Anatoly Yuryevich Moskvin? He murdered children and turned their corpses into dolls
He didn't kill anyone, just dug up corpses
No, I am unstoppable.
When I was younger this old pic of kuchisake-onna would frick with me hardcore
The latest image to have that affect is probably Momo
what is this, i don't want to open it
maybe I didn't have it open long enough but it's just an image of a doll
but looking at it made me feel unease and like I was being cursed or some shit so I closed it pretty fast both times, that shit has to have some serious negative spiritual energy or some shit to have that affect through an image, I don't recommend opening it
thanks for the sacrifice anon, not risking my life
It occasionally moves a bit because it’s a GIF. I was expecting a jumpscare but all I got was Jim Crow the Doll.
So, you know this guy likes his, this bookers bourbon
that picture is fake btw. the bomb did make shadows of people but that one isnt real

I distinctly remember a level where you played as Angelica trying to find Cynthia and it had this strange orange hazy skybox and toxic puddles everywhere you had to avoid.
Oh no, not mummies and clowns...
nothing's more frightening than "dude in toilet paper" and "dude in makeup".
that fricking game lowkey is a horror game with backrooms vibes
don't forget about the toy store with the clowns.

this song is really great for setting a spooky atmosphere.
The game over screen in Super Star Wars Return of the Jedi kinda creeps me out.
There's a video game where it's set on the London underground and I think you play through it like normal but one level there's a serial killer and you have to do some actions before he kills you. I forgot the game.
Also this ghost was always really fricking creepy.
>There's a video game where it's set on the London underground and I think you play through it like normal but one level there's a serial killer and you have to do some actions before he kills you. I forgot the game.
Frick you....
Frick you
you bastard
Surprised this isn't here
probably because it's very hard to find, more of an easter egg then something you'd find normally by playing the game. still a creepy message in an otherwise non-horrific game. the fact that it wasn't found until like 20 years later is even better.

So what the frick was up with the Atlantians in this game?
Atlanteans are often fricked in games
What about the the Crones of Crookback Bog from the Ladies of the Wood quest from Witcher 3? i feel like there was some psuedo horror element to this quest. Mainly just to do with the story telling with it.
This was the best storyline in the game for me. So much mythology implied by showing very little, which is the best way to showcase something like this.

Specifically because he's a wimp. His big trait is he's afraid of everything, so it has to do something to put you in that mentality.
I think Silent Hill music is still a little strange for a Winnie the Pooh spinoff game.

I recently realized you can even backtrack. There's even a cutscene with the dogs. Pretty cool
It's fun to get pretend mad.
Anyone play Escape from Horrorland? Most of it is typical kids fmv spooky stuff, werewolf, a sea monster and Tim Curry. But you had these underground Doom segments where you had to collect coins while avoiding this monster. And not like regular monster like Eye of the Beholder looking shit.
>Tim Curry
Wait scratch that. He was in the Frankenstein game. got it mixed up.
>But you had these underground Doom segments where you had to collect coins while avoiding this monster
Just letting you know that i too played that part as as kid and considered it nightmare fuel. Surprised to see anyone mentioned it.
Sims 1 was so fricking soulful before EA ruined it almost immediately with their shitty sequels. So much wit and charm typical of a Maxis product throughout the 90s.
Treasures of the Deep, This game was Subnautica before Subnautica existed. The wreck of concepcion almost made me piss my pants.
I've seen so much insanity in these last 10 years of clown world that I actually believe meme magic is real and as consciously measuring reality causes probabilities to collapse I don't feel it's out of the question that faith or belief actually affects reality much like 40k's immaterium.

MML2 had a few moments of environmental spookiness but seeing this thing crawling at me out of the dark as a kid was pretty intense.
Burnout 3 impact mode beta sound effects
woah, this is pretty cool
i think horror racing/driving games is an untapped market, theres a lot of potential for "you drove like a moron, now youre in a mangled heap of metal and caused 3 other fatalities"
Yeah. Car crashes are shown in quite humorous light most of the time in games even if they are gruesome has hell in real life
for some reason burnout 3 (and thrill drive by extension) remind me of that "ring fit heart attack" video
Alright I remember seeing a Watchmojo or similar video about "unexpected dark/horror moments in games" or something and there was some game about two friends that has a fakeout bad ending if you don't save your friend in time. Couldn't for the life of me find it when I searched, I'm half-convinced I dreamed it at this point.
I chill in the dark room all the time, it's comfy especially if you get some mood lighting going

Not strictly a video game but
It's incredible funny how muh liminal places, backrooms and source maps make Ganker seethe so much. Why? Because it's popular? Because kids having fun wrong way? Obsessive need to hate everything new?
Because it's shit moron
reddit ass post
This shit spooked me like you wouldn't believe.
Does anyone remember this one Cartoon Network flash game with fishing? I'm pretty sure it used Hana Barbara characters, and I remember if the line went deep enough below the water, there was this frick huge, grumpy lookin' fish that scared the shit out of me when I was around 5 or so. On other fish related horror, there's also that giant ass eel from Super Mario Sunshine that I actually find kind of cute now, since it leaves a bunch of coins in the shape of a heart as a thank you after you clean its teeth, which is really sweet, on top of it never meaning to do any harm to the Noki's to begin with. Still, the size of it and the glowing yellow eyes (not helped by you slowly approaching the damn thing due to how the swimming controls worked in that game) that made me scared shitless of it as a lad.
that's too dumb to be scary.
God damn it, wish I had that picture of that Snake 3D game for windows, it was all fun and games until you triggered the "Blood" option in the settings and had these weird, bloodshot eyes in the corners where you would usually just disappear and game over. But with the option, those eyes followed your every movement and when you slithered towards them the Snake would get eaten while screaming
I think the game was also for kids, Nokia Snake game but extreme. Wish you could play it nowadays though.
