The very start of Dead Space 2, when you're running from the Necromorphs, the shadow that chases you down that last corridor and you want to look behind you but you know it spells certain death. Brilliant.

Wow... there's a lot of them.
First one comes to my mind is Bioshock 1. This was probably a gaming glitch but it was scary. I was at my college and with a bunch of other students in this media room at our dorm, we were watching this one dude play.
He goes into this room and wanders around and there don't appear to be any splicers or whatever. Anyway, he turns around to get a better look and right fucking there, not moving is a couple of splicers. Just there. Right after turning around.
The guy jumped and started shooting and I swear we all jumped right with him.

This. I believe that was in the... Dentist office? I believe I just finished hacking something or listening to an audio tape and then I started backing up, and I just stop as if something was blocking me. I turn around and HOLYFUCKWHATTHEHELL there is a Splicer, just standing there, looking at me. Scared the SHIT out of me.game-lover said:
Also, I'm surprised no one mentioned this yet - but two parts near the end of Resident Evil 4. The first was the Ganado-in-the-oven scare when you first infiltrate the island. The second, more benign but this falls well under "creepy" is in the area with row of prison cells, there is a small dumpster/ hamper with a burlap sack in it that once revealed starts flopping and squirming around. Still have no idea what the hell that thing was supposed to be.
Back in the 1.09 patch of Diablo 2, I was grinding cows one night and this guy stayed behind in the game with me after everyone left, he then began to try and cyber me, something about his "big barbarian cock fucking my nice big sorc tits".
That was by far the most traumatizing moment in my video game experience.

You shouldn't play Fable 3, that game will wreck you once you get to the "Eternal Darkness" part.daftalchemist said:
Already played it, wasn't creeped out. Wasn't thoroughly amused either. Pity.VGC USpartan VS said:
