Giant skulls with deformed eye sockets that hang on walls and from lines of web dangling from the ceiling... and have spider legs sticking out their sides. I'm talking about the Skulltulas from Zelda.

Creepiest boss? Probably Eddie Dombrowski from Silent Hill 2, hands down. With bosses like Abstract Daddy or Pyramid Head, it's very easy to rationalize them as monsters. They are physical manifestations of mankind's sins and baser instincts, sure, but they APPEAR and ACT like monsters. And it's easy to kill monsters, right? You don't get conflicted or a guilty conscious from breaking a wooden plank over some monster's head.
Eddie though... this guy feels like a very real character to me. He starts out very sympathetic, maybe even likable to an extent. Every encounter with him later shows him acting off in a variety of ways, though not too much to set off any alarms... at FIRST. The thing is, Eddie's character isn't exclusive to the game. I've seen people like him on tv, I've KNOWN people like him first hand. Unlike the other monsters of Silent Hill, he HAS a human face, human emotions, and to the end acted quite human.

Creeper creepin' up on yoooouuu
EDIT:
Justification, they just satnd there, staring at you.. staring, into your soul... BOOM, another just attacked. which blew up the first, along with the rest of your stuff.
I gotta say that LoZ: OoT had some of the creepiest enemies (ReDeads, Dead Hands and Skultulas dropping down from the ceiling...), but the bosses weren't all that frightening. In Half-Life headcrabs and those possessed zombie scientists were pretty creepy, but they got old alfter the first hour.
Yes I did, although that particular enemy is more "FUCK, FUCK, BACKPEDAL, WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?" than creepy.Kilgengoor said:Ditto the Bloodsuckers from STALKER and most of the Amnesia enemies. However...
tell me if you just didn't flinch a little for a moment there.
Oh! also? the face-fisting, backwards-walking, teleporting enemies in Deadly Premonition. It just... they creep me out.
Any spider enemies in games. The bigger and more realistic looking the worst I get. I'm HIGHLY arachnophobic! The big spiders in Dragon Age: Origins stand out in my mind because when they showed up that noise they made just made it even worse! *shudders* I HATE spiders!
Yep, Ocarina of Time was terrifying for me the first time I played it. At 8 years old.DeadlyBritishDisease said:
ReDeads made me jumpy and frantic, and their screams froze my blood. Getting Sun's Song was a nightmare.
But worst of all, the one enemy that made me pause the game, throw my controller to my dad, explain what to do and run out of the room in sheer terror was
I am not making this up.
This. That Ssssssssssssss will forever be ingrained in my brain. I swear, because of them I jump when a hear a kettle go off.gabe12301 said:Darn ninja'd.TheEvilCheese said:

My friend mastered him solely to creep me out every time (stupid effective psychological tactics...)

Midwives and Lab Monkeys from System Shock 2 are up there but AM from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream takes the cake.
HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.
It doesn't help that he is voiced by the ever disturbing Harlan Ellison himself.

Thats kinda funny... though I can't talk, I couldn't finish Shadow Temple coz it freaked me out (and coz I couldn't work out the puzzles to finish it)Chapper said:Yep, Ocarina of Time was terrifying for me the first time I played it. At 8 years old.DeadlyBritishDisease said:
