GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Sunday, Sep 27, 2009

I guess I am a immature person and every year when Halloween is coming up I get excited and tour many many Halloween stores (while dragging my poor girlfriend along every year) and I guess since I am in the mood for scary stuff I want to make a list of the games that scared the hell out of me in both the past and present day some games will be old as hell or brand new or not even scary so let's start this sh*t woot!!!

Resident Evil director's cut (PS one)

resident evil

This was most likely the game that started my obsessive zombie fascination I remember seeing the zombie close up at my cousin's house and I freaked out then my father got the game for Christmas and I just remembered how creepy the game was sure it was cheesy but it was first of its kind and it made me just adore zombies

Resident Evil 1 remake (GCN)

remake

Now you can say payne this is stupid you just mentioned the original and this is the same game and I will say your right but this game was a amazing remake and wish other games were remade like this the game got an amazing graphical upgrade and was made much much longer and added new areas and enemies and I remember the same cousin who showed me the original Resident evil was over when I finally went into the log cabin and I freaked out over the monster who lives in the cabin and all he could do was laugh at my distress also it's the only game I know of to this date of when I saw a hallway I said f*ck that I am not going through that hallway or door I won't beat the game I don't care I don't want to go there great game I would recommend it over and over again..hmm might play it again

Silent Hill 2 (PS2)

silent hill

This game is the only game to date that I got freaked out by absolutely nothing this game is the king of psychological horror there were moments in game that nothing happened but you were kept on edge you could just explore a creepy apartment complex and there is just something wrong with the room you are in there might be nothing in the room but you are just creeped out by it the kicker is the enemies themselves aren't that scary they are more creepy than scary the way they move is creepy the way they look are creepy but they aren't scary the game just has the scary vibe also another thing about the game is you do eventually meet other humans but they seem to not notice what is going on in the town they don't see the monsters or the bloody rooms or walls that bleed blood I remember a semi-funny cutscene where you see a fat guy throwing up in a toilet and your main character asks if he is ok from the monsters? And the fat guy asks "what monsters?" the game also gives you the impression that you are going insane no one sees what you see are you imagining this nightmare? Or are they crazy? are they real? The gameplay might be sticky and controls might not be good but the atmosphere is amazing no game has matched it

Silent Hill 3(PS2)

3

This game is just scary it does lack the atmosphere that Silent Hill 2 has but it makes up for it by juts being scary there are some moments that just freaked you out I remember in this game that you were in the mental hospital that was in the 2nd one but you kept find diaries of a man stalking you the whole time you were there it was creepy the more you explored the more diaries and the "gifts" inside the diaries you found it just gets creepy he gets angrier and angrier with you also the game takes place in a abandoned amusement park and that was scary seeing a amusement park slowly rust away with the happy bunny characters just staring at you but the creepiest thing ever was there was a room full of mannequins and it had a bad vibe in the game and when I reached the door I heard a woman scream behind me and I turn around and see a mannequin with its head cut off and blood all over it and no enemy in sight

Eternal Darkness (GCN)

darkness

This game has its ups and downs there are some elements that didn't even scare me and I was like ehh not that good but other times I was on edge and was like whoa that's scary this game takes place mostly in a mansion during a sun set (so there is some light) but it is still scary the really cool part is there is a sanity meter that when it goes down the game looks like its messing up like your character clips through walls or the game makes the volume bar on your TV down or sees you slowly lose pieces of your body fly off and it's just creepy

Dementium the ward (DS)

demn

A word of warning do not buy this game it is a pretty bad game it's scary but the checkpoint system, controls, and objectives are horrible yet the game captivated me it was just scary you are in a abandoned hospital trying to get out or at least figure out what's going on and the enemies are creepy there was one enemy that scared the hell out of me all it was a flying head that when it saw you scream at you and charge at you and for some reason that made me jump and scream like a little baby plus the game did have the Doom 3 flashlight thing going on and it made the game feel very dark and every room a adventure

Painkiller (PC)

pain kiler

This game really isn't scary basically it's a serious Sam game with blood, gore, Goth looking enemies yet there was this one level in the game called the "asylum" and for some reason this level completely scared the hell out of me you had to fight 1920's insane people in a asylum and besides the fact that they looked scary with them just lying on the floor or with electrodes attached to their head and them screaming their attacks were scary too they jump on you forcing you to look at their faces and it was just creepy there was a ton of them and just horrible to see like 20 of them jump at you

Quake 4(360)

quake 4

The game itself isn't scary but there was one moment in the game that really almost scarred me for life and that moment is the stroggification of your character basically you watch your character and allies get mutilated and transformed into a strogg (enemy) like cattle it was creepy to see people in front of you getting chopped up and you slowly see your fate and nothing to do about it you see your character struggle and not budging it was some scary sh*t

Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask(N64)

One reason and one reason only this man:

tingle

tingle4

tingle5

He thinks hes a fairy!!!! This is scarier than anything I have mentioned

So I am done thanks for reading I was thinking of holding this off till Halloween comes closer but I am impatient and rather do something new for Halloween (hopefully) so thanks again for reading and a special note some of these games might not be good these just scared me

The Moon in Majora's Mask scared the crap out of me when I was a young'un. Still does.

I'm slogging through Silent Hill 2 now. I've never been so terrified, or so frustrated, playing a game before.
Posted Sep 27, 2009 12:50 pm PT
Quake 4 scared you? I can see why you hated the Moon. Ugghhh...I hate creepy clowns. Silent Hill 2 is awful, I'm compelled to explore yet I don't want to. Weird I know

@AlmightyMax

Ya the moon was pretty creepy he was like just an angry face just angry at everything lol

@SGTiD1NG0

I can't tell if I was scared or just creeped out it just didn't sit right with me Silent hill2 is hard to explore for me because I am just too scared to go to a new location
Posted Sep 27, 2009 1:09 pm PT
Cool list. I agree, Tingle is the scariest thing alive.
Posted Sep 27, 2009 1:46 pm PT
lol on MM and I never tried out quake 4 sadly.
Posted Sep 27, 2009 1:48 pm PT
What happened to Dead Space and Fear, those freaken me out. I completly agree on sildent hill 2 and 3 there were freaky.
Posted Sep 27, 2009 3:27 pm PT
@calvinsora

thanks lol glad some1 agrees with me on tingle @reo-117

lol thanks and quake 4 has it moments is a decent FPS
Posted Sep 27, 2009 3:48 pm PT
@Cubano7649

you know I was thinking about them but dead space really didn't scare me that much and F.E.A.R. only scared me like once or twice but silent hill games holy sh*t those games are scary
Posted Sep 27, 2009 3:49 pm PT
Nice blog, you should try FEAR1&2 and fahrenheit
Posted Sep 27, 2009 4:57 pm PT
@syler4815162342

thanks I did try F.E.A.R. and I did like it but it just didn't scare me that much never heard of Fahrenheit but I'll check it out
Posted Sep 27, 2009 5:26 pm PT
Fahrenheit is one of my favorite games it's really cool you should check it
Posted Sep 27, 2009 5:30 pm PT
Been dying to try both the remake of the original RE for GCN and Eternal Darkness. RE, well, looks way scary, and I've been waiting for the right mood. Eternal Darkness, on the other hand, seems scary in a very psychological way, with ideas and notions that don't quite sit right with me. I do want to check it out, but the right moment just hasn't come around, I guess.
Posted Sep 27, 2009 6:16 pm PT
The games that scared me the most are Dead Space, Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 4, The Suffering and a few more.
Posted Sep 27, 2009 6:37 pm PT
@ GeekyDad

I can not stress enough how great the RE remake is trust me its filled with so many surprises and jumps and scares the original Resident evil pales in comparison eternal darkness is good don't get me wrong but I enjoyed the RE remake 10000x more @Gamer1985

man thats the two games I always wanted to play Silent hill 4 and the suffering those look creepy
Posted Sep 27, 2009 7:11 pm PT
Ive been wanting to get into the Silent Hill games forever but the first one is so hard to find.

I do plan on buying the RE Cube remake.
Posted Sep 27, 2009 10:17 pm PT
I'm dying to play the RE remake, but I was never the biggest fan of the Silent Hill games. I find them kinda boring to actually play. If I can't have fun playing it, the atmosphere loses its appeal..

Great blog.

@wildcat2000

from what I heard the 1st silent hill wasn't that good(I never played it) but they are remaking it for the Wii and its coming out soon and the RE cube remake is a great game @TheBuck27

thanks The RE cube remake is still one of my personal favorites there is so many of them used in stores and stuff I would highly recommend it and ya I can see silent hill games being kinda boring

I had never seen Tingle without his classic outfit.
I agree that he is scary!

Eternal Darkness really scared me when I played it, all that wispering, knocking on the doors, steps coming from upsatairs and etc.
Posted Sep 28, 2009 11:57 am PT
Games betting on direct scare effects always looked lame to me. What I find fascinating is the way some games model tension, in its purest form. Games which try to sound and feel scary by utilizing passive gameplay elements. That's cool for me Cool, and frightening.
Posted Sep 28, 2009 1:23 pm PT
@ Pierst179

Ya I never saw tingle without that outfit either he just gives me the creeps lol and eternal darkness that was pretty scary the random knocks and stuff I always ran towards the front door because I thought it was the police lol

@ LGTX

I couldn't agree more the game has to set the mood not just have random scares for no reason
Posted Sep 28, 2009 3:22 pm PT
@payne6705: Well Ive played a bit of SH 1 and I liked it at friends house a long time ago. I dont know everywhere Ive seen people say SH 1 is the best.

Theyre remaking it? Really? You have a link?
Posted Sep 28, 2009 6:04 pm PT
@wildcat2000

sadly I don't have a link just type in silent hill: shattered memories its coming out for the PS2, PSP and Wii (the wii version has all the hype) and it comes out this November its deff on my radar
Posted Sep 28, 2009 7:06 pm PT
The Silent Hill games sure are scary, nice choices.
Posted Oct 2, 2009 9:45 pm PT
@ david_lck

thanks ya the silent hill games always creep me out
Posted Oct 3, 2009 9:08 am PT
Nice selection. I've only played SH 3 from your list. There's also Cold Winter, Cold Fear and Doom.
Posted Oct 6, 2009 10:21 am PT
@canana

thanks I never played those games (beside doom) I might have to check them out
Posted Oct 6, 2009 10:29 am PT
Resident evil 1 director´s cut scared me sometimes, silent hill 3 almost always and silent hill 4 always, specifically when the ghost appeared.
Posted Oct 7, 2009 7:14 pm PT
@ exber

I really want to play silent hill 4 I sadly never got around to it one day I will
