What's the scariest horror game you've played?

[The 4th gate]

I can't really decide because I don't play much horror but I'd have to say the silent hill series.

 

[Tewin Follow]

Silent Hill 2 and 3.

 

[Skittle]

Fatal Frame series.

 

[FoxBody]

The Silent Hill series in general creeps me out.

 

[Willow]

Silent Hill 2 and 3.

Fatal Frame series.

These sorta

I've been on and off playing Silent Hill 2 and Fatal Frame 2
Although, I couldn't sleep well after playing Fatal Frame for the first time

 

[Disasterfox]

no games but,
Midnight laser-tag with zombie and werewolf factions.

 

[Flatline]

Penumbra Overture.

The Silent Hill games are creepy as hell, but they never managed to actually scare me. Except SH4... But I still love the SH games, for their story, and the atmosphere... And the soundtrack, of course.

 

[Stargazer Bleu]

Really havent played many horror games that I would consider scary.
Silent hill games would be the closest tho.

 

[Sluggy]

Super Mario World. Oh god, the turtles!!! I was scarred! :[

You just reminded me of a N64 game. Yoshi's Story. Eating things then instantly turning them to eggs is scary.
I thought Yoshi was a he. A guy laying a egg is scary as well.

 

[DeadHorus]

Clock Tower 2

A game where you CANT kill the giant murdering psychopath with scissors and have to run away from him

 

[Syradact]

Alone in the Dark for 3DO. There's silence while exploring a room except for your footsteps, then HOLY SHIT a ghost zombie creature with scary music! Always makes me jump.

or

A Nightmare on Elm Street for NES. Some of the bosses scared me as a kid, and maybe the music. Definitely the title screen.

With the PS1 version I recall an instance where while I was walking around outside. The lightning flashed and in that flash, you could see an enemy stalk the player, but then when the flash was over it disappeared. Freaked me out

 

[_Zero_]

The original Alone in the Dark.

 

[Daniel Kay]

Silent Hill 3 closely followed by Silent Hill 2 and the first one.

I love how those games actually build up a creepy atmosphere and not just use jump scares all the time, those aren't horror or scary, they're "haunted house" rejects.
In fact in my book all "horror" games that OVER use jump scares aren't horror, they're "scared ya" games.

I can swear there is a thread on this exact topic. But anyways one crazy ass game is Condemmed 2: Criminal Origins. Have some crazy scenes in there. Also there's LSD, not really scary but more of a freaky game that screws with your mind.

 

[Pliio8]

Clock Tower for the PS1

I can still hear his snipping...

 

[Winkuru]

Fatal Frame series.

Yes,yes and yes.

 

[SonicDude1580]

Eternal Darkness
The game that mindfucked youre sanity, chewed it, spit it out, soaked it in oil and burnt, and them stomped on it and then just plain took a shit on it.
in other words my sanity is gone

 

[Eric]

Eternal Darkness

This. I'm not really scared by videogames, but Eternal Darkness was pretty creepy.

 

[Volug]

I watched a friend play Fatal Frame 1-3 blind, wet himself a few times.

Penumbra Overture was, and still is the game that scares me most you could say. Black Plague was better, yeah, but overture had more scary moments. Which, for me is the stealth through the hallway/maze-like areas with those "zombies"/Wolf "zombie" things and you can only see a few inches in front of your face.

 

[Zydala]

I played the Silent Hill games years and years ago b/c my girlfriend made me be with her while she went through them...

had a nightlight in my room for like 6 months

now nothing scares me at all hahaha

 

[Albino-Kitsune]

Yes, this thread has been done before. But it's a fun one. xP

Fatal Frame, yeah. I couldn't even play 5 minutes of that game. The ambiance alone... no thank you. But I watched someone play through it on Youtube. Cause I always felt cheated I never knew the story because I was too chickenshit to play the game. =P

... But the scariest I ever played was actually Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. I jumped so many times. And I couldn't sleep one night after cause I kept imagining a decapitated head floating over my door, reciting Poe at me. XP

The first game that scared me though was Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The fucking Redead and Wallmasters... Christ on a bike, I can't tell you how bad it scared me as a kid to know there was something coming to grab me and I couldn't see it. And zombies just are nasty, no matter how you flip that coin. xP

 

[Machine]

The first Bioshock and Silent Hill: Homecoming. Playing these games in the dark is a terrible idea unless you enjoy being scared out of my mind.

That scream is what gets me

The Redeads in Wind Waker are even creepier

Seriously, wtf?!
