Slenderman and his accompanying paranormal pictures thread on Something Awful. There is something extremely disturbing about an entity oozing with malevolence that is only in the background, watching you. Was not as impressed with Marble Hornets, but that thread has some pictures that would make anyone check over their shoulders a tad more often than they otherwise would.
EDIT: As to the video in the OP, I agree that it is rather disturbing in terms of context (a show for children), but it struck me as more bizarre than creepy.

Well, the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who were pretty damn scary, and I only just saw them. That video is incredibly creepy, though, and I wonder why that was meant to be a kids' show.
Old stuff, but pretty awesome i have to say.InnerRebellion said:

Slender Man.

Edit: Oh, and the Ramses' Curse episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog scarred me as a kid. I can't even LOOK when that episode is on.

I don't get why Slender Man is so creepy, but Courage was a fucked up show.dancinginfernal said:
That game wouldn't be half as creepy if ammo wasn't so comically underpowered. Of course, because ammo is comically underpowered, it's funny, and therfore not creepy. Y'see? Metro is like damn MMO for how long it takes to kill things and to be killed - it could learn a tip or two from stalker.Kuchinawa212 said:
Did you see the videos I posted above? Salad Fingers is pretty tame compared to Firth's other stuff.Julianking93 said:

look it up, i'm too freaked out by it to post it here.
Also, it's the dark one, not the bright red one.

Courage was indeed a fucked up show, but the Ramses' curse episode was the only one that really creeped me out.InnerRebellion said:

My critisisms are based off of gameplay - the story shouldn't get in the way of gameplay. I understand that it's based off of a book, but Metro 2033 is a GAME. It should prioritize better. Besides, based off of the game, i can only assume that the book read like this:
"Artur shot at a bandit. It did nothing. The Bandit shot him in the face, so Artur hid behind a barrel for a bit until he was all better. Then Artur nade-spammed and killed everybody.
As Artur headed into the direction of the next camp, he counted 5 bandits. One was on his own. Artur shot him with the realyl badass spike rifle thing. Unfortunatly, the bandit fell onto some broken glass. All of a sudden every bandit in the area knew exactly what happened and shot at Artur, who was completely concealed in the shadows. Then Artur hid until he was better, and nade-spammed his way to victory. The End"
Metro is not unforgiving. Men of War is unforgiving. STALKER (with the right mods) is unforgiving. In those games, you need to be on your toes and make quick decisions or you will die. If you step in the wrong place, you explode. However if you know what you're doing then you will get out alive.
Metro has a lot of problems. First off, it's linear as fuck, unlike Men of War or STALKER, so you can't usually bypass a fight and sneak on, because the game wants you to fight. Worse still, the AI are a bunch of heat-seeking omnipotents, and so the first shot fired (no matter how hidden you are) and they all know exactly where you are. This means that there really is no other way to handle things other than to "rush in the room and start blasting".
That brings us to the comically underpowered attacks on both sides. This is really uneccesary. The protagonists has CoD style regenerating health, so if you're carefull then you never die. The enemies have far too much health. I literally would empty an entore clip into a BANDIT. A BANDIT. Then he would maybe die. This is ridiculous, and not AT ALL realistic.
I tried hard to enjoy Metro, I really did. Unfortunatly it just doesn't know how to brin it's themes into it's gameplay, anyways no mean to offend or piss you off good sir
