That's a good one. Colossus #5 I think was a good one as well. The one with the lake and the giant bird like Colossus sitting on the pedestal. The music is a bit ominous, but mostly it weirds you out at first because the Colossus just sits there staring at you, and at first you're not even really sure what to do. Then you shoot it a couple of times and all hell breaks loose.Mikejames said:On topic, I remembered another one.
When you first see the outline of the sea serpent in Shadow of the Colossus.
Yeah I wasn't getting in that water anytime soon.

Bioshock isn't really 'horror', but it certainly has that kind of feel to it throughout. I'm playing it again now and find myself constantly watching my back, sticking to walls, and generally just being really creeped out by everywhere. And don't get me started on the Houdini Splicers...
Riven was a very creepy game at times, though again not a horror. In fact, the entire Myst series falls under this. Even though I know there are no enemies and no death except in certain endings, parts of each game always make me think there's going to be someone or something turn up and get me - the spider chair in Ghen's hidden chamber on Temple Island, for example.
Also, the Dunwich Building in Fallout 3. Mentioned often in this thread, and for very good reason...

I think it was Black & White 1 where it asked you to type your name in. Sometimes, when I had the camera around my temple, the game would whisper my name. In the same whisper it used to go "Deaaaaath" when vilagers would die.
What. The. Fuck.
When I told people about it everyone thought I was losing my mind.

Dragon age origins, rxploring the deep roads under orzammar, the dawning realization on the origins of the Broodmothers, not really BO! scary, but deeply unsettling, and "get under your skin" creepy that i hadn't gotten since Silent Hill the second. and of course with the chant with it.
First day, they come and catch everyone.
Second day, they beat us and eat some for meat.
Third day, the men are all gnawed on again.
Fourth day, we wait and fear for our fate.
Fifth day, they return and it's another girl's turn.
Sixth day, her screams we hear in our dreams.
Seventh day, she grew as in her mouth they spew.
Eighth day, we hate it as she is violated.
Ninth day, she grins and devours her kin.
Now she does feast, as she's become the beast.
Now you lay and wait, for their screams will haunt you in your dreams.

I think there were a couple games with this sort of atmosphere, but I remember in Republic Commando when you have to board that ghost ship and find out what happens. I think it ends up being Trandoshans but there was a bit with your night vision and a flock of Mynocks whoosh past. I love that kind of thing, getting to someplace that seems abandoned for no reason and you have to find the horror behind it.
Yes. The Dunwich building. Stay away from the Dunwich building, that place is bad mojo. Easily the creepiest part of Fallout 3 by far.Nomanslander said:Wow, don't remember this building. But FO3 did have some chilling moments. The vault leaking gas that drove the inhabitants insane, the Garry clone vault, Andale, Point Lookout, Tranquility Lane. Is the Dunwich building really more creepier than those places? Curious and would like to know.Terminate421 said:
Even worse if you visit it late in the game with the Brotherhood of Steel add-on and don't have the Ghoul Mask.
Oh, and Minecraft. Been ages since anything shit me up as much as those stupid blocky green penises.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver - overall this game is kinda creepy but Silenced Cathedral with Zephon at the end really freaked me out. Weird spider vampires crawling on walls and this damned music...

I was so relieved when I finally finished that place.

Catherine. More specifically, the seventh stage. I braved the Fists of Grudge, the Immoral Beast, the goddamn Baby with a Chainsaw, and then...
Shadow of Vincent. Oh sweet Lord.
Not only is this boss hard as fuck, but his model, voice lines, and the fact that he's never seen destroyed is creepy: he just eats Steve and doesn't die himself.
I think I was about halfway to a heart attack when this guy smashed his head through the tower.

I WAS gonna say, usually games only have startle moments, instead of something creepy.The Madman said:
Then you reminded me of the orphanage level in the second thief, that one was pretty fucked up.
Also, i see some people mentioning ghouls, personally i never had any problems with them.
Let's talk giant radscorpions. OR cazadores. Granted it isnt scary per se, but more of a "o fuck i hope i can run fast enough while downing anti poison and wildly spray and pray and actually survive this."
I would like to add my support for the Dunwich Building in FO3. I didn't even know it was a reference to anything, I just thought it was your typical building with ghouls in it...Then I found that first room where you hallucinate...and then I found the audio logs...and then I got to the basement....and then I had to stop playing for a while.
Also, the first time I fought a giant frostbite spider in Skyrim outside of the story mission with the wounded one. I'm a little arachnophobic, but nothing too bad. Then I entered a room that I though I had previously cleared...and the damn thing came down from the ceiling ON TOP OF MY HEAD. I may have had to pause the game for a while after that.

I don't know... it even has poetry in it.Trivun said:
The Wild Bunny by Sander Cohen: I want to take the ears off, but I can't. I hop, and when I hop, I never get off the ground. It's my curse, my eternal curse! I want to take the ears off but I can't! It's my curse! It's my fucking curse! I want to take the ears off! Please! Take them off! Please!
I see what you mean...
Most recently? The Witch's Mansion from Lost Odyssey.
That place had really creepy atmosphere, mainly due to the music.
Seeing that figure come out of the mirror wasn't the nicest experience of my life.

Ohh, look at the nice cottage.
The cottage, in fact, is not nice. :'(
I remember my friend just staring at that thing for a moment, and then handing the controller to me. lolVivi22 said:
Frickin Sander Cohen alone was enough to make horror at least a sub-genre of that game.Trivun said:

In retrospect that kid in Haven whispering nursery rhymes was pretty ominous too.
Him caressing someones' finger bone the whole time probably didn't help.
All the side quests for that game were pretty fucked. Old guy wanting flowers for his wife perhaps?[/quote]imahobbit4062 said:
Ooh yeah I remember that one! I only managed to do it on my most recent run... screw collecting flowers.
And there was all the shit with Seth... wasn't it implied that he was a necro too?
