Silent Hill 3 actually creeped me out. I jumped so bad at times, I dropped the controller. It takes a lot to scare me these days since I've been jaded by growing up watching horror movies, but SH3 is just plain messed up!

Max Payne.
My surround sound was cranked *really really* loud when I got to the first blood trail. I fell off and the baby's crying got so loud so fast it scared the bejeezus out of me.
Spice World for the PSX. Just seeing it in the store almost scared me into having a heart attack.
When I was a little kid, I thought Super Mario Bros. was very scary, because I was afraid Mario would go down a pipe and never come back.
Now, RE scared me. I usually stay away from scary games...but the original Clocktower sure is tempting.

It's about the prototypes, baby!
the first time you play any resident evil game.
RE remake for Gamecube probably takes the cake now.
If you have never played the series before and played that one i gurantee some shit your pants moments.
Half life had its moments and yeah system shock 2 definitely.
White men cant jump for jaguar actually made me cry.
My vote goes to Fatal Frame as well, to me, violence/gore disgusts me, but don't scare me, what scares me the most is anything real and involving 6th sense and paranomial, the game is based on the true story and there're pics of the actual locations, sometimes you take the pics the ghosts will show up on the pic, you don't see them when you take the pics, now that just creeps the hell out of me. Anyone thinks Silent Hills is scary should try this at night.Originally Posted by brandver3
I have been "scared" by very few gaming "moments". The dogs in the original Resident Evil springs to mind "when they jump through window first time" as does the moment in Eternal Darkness when my head feel off, and a few others...
What it really comes down to is "atmosphere", and what game has drawn me into its atmosphere and twisted my senses. Games like Silent Hill don't do it for me though, it has to be faster, it's just "creepy'" imo, with moments that are toooooo built up. Actually only the first Silent Hill was creepy the second game was just a god damn laughable mess imo. :/
When it comes to atmosphere though I would say Shadowman, and more recently The Thing have both done a good job at twisting my reality and taking me to a great "horrific" world "they also had a few great really genuine scary moments", more than just BOO though, more like "RAAAARRRRFFFFHHHHH" "SCREECH" "THUD THUD" "BUZZZZZ" "WAHHHHH", lol.
I can't think of many others than those really, like I said i've had very few jump outta my pants moments, but I love a good horror game, but it takes alot to get my ball rolling, and I like more than just one, BOO!THRILL ME MOTHA FUCKA!
WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH x_x, next....
I appreciate all of the replies... I'm gonna have to try Fatal Frame definitly. I'd just like to reiterate: If you like scary games and you've never played Thief, you must do so. Scariest game EVER, mostly due to the atmosphere.
Fatal Frame, all Silent Hills (even #2), certain parts in Resident Evil(s, not #2)
Playing SH3 last night (almost done), w/ one light on in the house & just my Corgi pups w/ me, the phone was ringing like mad. I dont often answer it if I'm playing, but I did. The 1st call was a solicitor; I'm used to a few/week. It rang again just after I sat back down; I grudgingly answered, but no one spoke. A short pause before speaking is the sign of a telemarketer, so I hung up. Upon answering the 3rd call, I actually heard them hang up! I didn't even answer the 4th calll, I was so f'ng creeped out!
BTW: you know someone'll redo this topic w/in a month, before Halloween!
"The big things that...nerds like to argue about might not actually matter that much."
I know I jumped at least once while playing Dino Crisis ...
Flack
Shadowgate is one creeped out game. It's just so eerie all around... the demented music (processed in all it's 8bit goodness), the strange images (The princess that turns into a jackel after you stab her), the traps and deaths haunting face, the time limit and the paranoia music as your torch is burning out.
GREAT GAME THOUGH! I have many fond memories with it.
For some reason, Ghost Manor on 3DO creeped me out when I was younger. Anyone else?
More recent scary games for me have been Eternal Dark (The bathtub scene).
And anyone else freak out at the dreamcast game Illbleed? Great game!
Back when I was on the Turbolist, I seem to remember people agreeing that Silent Debuggers was kinda creepy. Alone in space...silence...aliens ambushing you out of nowhere...
I never actually got to play it, but can anyone elaborate further on the game?
American NES games left to beat: 3
Last 3 NES games beaten: Romance of the Three Kingdoms II, Nobunaga's Ambition II and Gemfire
(Updated: 7/21/10)
Oh man! I love Silent Debuggers! Such a great name... one of my favorite and most memorable names for a game. I second your creepy emotions, that game has it all.
I know many gamers probably would not agree with me but back in the day Friday the 13th for the NES use to freak me out probably because of the music especially when it became night time, it set a scary mood that scared me more than the silly movies did, although I must admit that I did enjoy Freddy vs Jason
Games, games and more games
Splatterhouse series....definately.
Splatterhouse scared me as well. After beating the fourth boss, that peaceful organ music played, then it stopped. Then, wait for three seconds... EEP. That dissonant racket transformed my spinal cord into an icicle. Oh, not to mention that I was a little guy when first playing this game, and everything else really creeped me out.
Splatterhouse 3 is the scariest game out of the three, IMO. Mostly owing to the cutscenes, especially the shot where the boreworm overtook Jennifer. I only saw that once, at about 9:00 pm. I don't intend to see it again.
That's it! Next stop: The Junkyard. Population: You!

I actually lost sleep over Silent Hill one night when I played it in a dark room for about 3 hours. Needless to say the rest of that game and the sequels I only played during the day.
A close second would have to be Clive Barker's Undying for PC. Creeeeepy game!!
One game I recently gotten back into playing is the original Clock Tower - the one with Scissorman. It's quite eerie trying to escape from a serial killer. You'll hide under the bed in one room, he'll coming lurching in, look about, the music swells, and he'll leave. Othertimes, he'll stagger in, look about, then PLUNGE THE GIANT SHEARS THROUGH THE BED AS YOU SCREAM AND GURGLE YOUR DEATH THROES.
Wow, it still gets me to see my on-screen persona mutilated like that.
Still Around...Still Gamin'...
Return to Castle Wolfeinstein!!!
Man, that game is scary when your playing it at 1 AM. The catacombs with mummies pooping out, and blades flying out of the walls (scary.
