Just a random topic about what you find scary in an antagonist or group of antagonists for example the fissure beast, zombie esque things from Alone In The Dark who I personally liked because their movement was rather disconcerting if a tad retarded, they had very recognisable human features while being entirely in-human in nature and tended to work rather well in groups to surround you which added to the setting of central park [ albeit a very fucked central park ] gave me the distinct feeling of being closed in on by a bunch of extremely angry youths all of whom wanted to beat me to death and could take eight billion shots to the face before falling over... for a bit. One of the other things I liked about the Humanz [ In fact I liked it so much it enabled me to forgive them for having possibly the most un-intuitive boring , awful!! names ever ] was that you had to be moderately inventive to kill them, you had to set them on fire which in theory might be difficult well apart from the fact that the residents of central park apparently throw away bottles full of alcohol and a dubious amount of tissues bludgeoning any kind of fight sequence into yet another reason to set everything on fire but at least it made a nice change from just shooting until all the enemies fall down and occasionally made scary scenario's like the afore mentioned gang assault scenario only I opened my jacket to find my flashlight, an empty gun, a glowstick and a bit of string and I found that genuinely scary.
I'm sure there are better examples of inventive , well designed or just pant wettingly scary enemies from a game, movie or story so I?d love to hear what you would choose as your favourite and why.
