Poll: A movie or game that has genuinly scared you...

[Metric Monkey]

I've usually been freaked out by almost any movie/game that's MADE to scare you. Now I just try to avoid them.

Well not a movie or a show per say, but the only thing that has scared me was this Documentry on Discovery channel showing some real footage of some soldiers who got attacked in some caves. No idea why I got scared but it was 2am so I was kinda susceptible...and I was depressed after watching a thing called "Life After Man"...

Anyway Game/Movie related, Far cry was the only game I can remeber that made me jump, only cause I turned round and a dude was RIGHT in my face, didnt hear him, See him or detect him, mad eme Jump .
Oh and Silent hill 1, way back in the days.

Blair witch project kinda disturbed me, but mostly it frustrated me with the people's stupidity -_-
The Chozo Mythos series was also disturbing ;p

When I first saw Event Horizon that was pretty fucking scary.

Lights off, empty house, TV in my bedroom. Surprisingly harrowing.

And I'm legally required to mention System Shock 2 in any thread where such a claim is applicable, Shock 2 lives up to its name.

Thief Deadly Shadow: The Shalebridge Cradle

I have three moments from that mission that sit with me forever.

Spoiler: Here there be spoilers

1. The Door. I don't need to say anything else, do I? That deep thudding I could hear wherever I was in that entire building, and when I on that staircase and was just about to see the door, this frantic banging starts. I'm down the stairs in two seconds flat, cowering in the nearest shadow I can find, bow out and broadhead nocked, waiting for whatever horror that I KNEW was coming down to eat my face to show up. It was five minutes before I came back out of that shadow.

2. Puppet close encounter #1. In the White Hall, I had just picked open one of the cell doors and retreated into a shadowy corner while one of the Puppets (the patients) walked by. Now, I'd seen this one going by before, and I knew that he stood at the end of the hallway for about fifteen seconds or so, so one he'd passed I'd started moving forward. Well, he must've noticed the open door, because the instant he reached the end of his "patrol", he immediately turned around and went into low alert. I must've cracked one of Garrett's ribs shoving him back into that corner so quickly.

3. Puppet close encounter #2. This was somewhere near the Morgue, I think, with two hallways and one Puppet patrolling between them. I'm trying to get from one hallway to another when I realize that the Puppet is coming back, and I slam myself against the wall near the corner, thinking he'll just stroll on by. Instead, he walks over to the very corner I'm in, and just stands there, close enough so that I can see the eyeholes in his outfit, shaking frantically and breathing that terrible death-rattle.

When he walked away ten seconds later, I realized I'd been holding my breath the entire time.

Ah yes, The Door, I will also never forget The Door, that made me jump a mile. Also, there was the time I had started picking a lock and could hear the sound of a puppet approaching. It was that close, I just managed to slip into the room and shut the door behind me before the puppet came into view. Talk about tense!

Darkness Falls... that old tooth woman, I never entered a room before turning the light on for maybe 4 months.

F.E.A.R. was pretty damn scary... but It's hard for games to scare me.... I wish there was more out there that could do the job.

Movies don't really scare me anymore... I think the last one I watch that was genuinely scary was Dead Silence.... fuckin old lady...

I have no problem watching any old scary movie... I'm never terrified afterward... though I watched Pet Semetary, and that was really good... but I've been finding it harder and harder to get scared lately.

BioShock caused me to jump up on a few occasions, most notably when entering Arcadia a guy was running ahead of me, begging for me to help someone. The guy disappears right before I reach a dead-end where I find a alter covered w/ blood and has a horned mask on top. I turn around and see the man I was following, only now covered in blood and wearing the mask I just found. Out his mouth comes a bone-chilling "HELLO!" shortly before he disappears in a burst of blood. Jumped up about a foot.

Also in Fable 2, there's one Demon Door that brings you to a snowy road w/ a nice house at the end of it. Nice and peaceful enough - until you get too close to the house. That's when with a screech the whole peaceful road becomes dark, dead and forbearing and the house becomes disintegrated and broken. (only scared me a bit because I didn't expect the sudden change.)

I'm a real pansy. While I did play Shadows of Chernobyl, Penumbra Overture was my first real horror game. Which are supposed to be one of the scarier titles around. I actually spent an embarrassing ten minutes covering in a corner when I encountered the first dog. Had I not spent money and gone nerd mode on the game, I would probably have quit right there. But I managed to complete it though sheer determination. ^_^

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

I was terrified of Dead Silence. Movies like that destroy me, but I'm not bothered by stuff like Halloween or Friday the 13th.
