Having to confront Big Boo.



As if the little Boos aren't troublesome enough.

I know this scene made me jump sky high the first time I played Resident Evil on the PS1:

I know the feeling. Darn near gave me a heart attack.

And how about the caterpillars from SMW? They look kind of goofy, yet innocent when you step of them at first.



But once they're stepped on, they get mad. Demon mad!

Silent Hill for the PS1 had plenty of chilling moments. The onset of creepy music here was one of those for me:

That was nail-biting for sure.

Jason popping up out of nowhere in the Friday the 13th game.

When a unit is lost in Missionforce: Cyberstorm

Their screams are disturbing

I'll say. They're haunted!

I always liked the piano in super mario 64.

Ahh, yes. I remember that now.

FEAR and the first Dead Space probably caused me to jump the most. More recently, Alien Isolation has done a fabulous job of making sure I play with the lights on. There is just something about being defenseless against an alien that scares the crap out of you.

Yeah, it's like being in Alien and having to encounter a creature who's taller than you.

The giraffes from the zoo stage in Ren and Stimpy: Stimpy's Invention scare me. Just like the caterpillars from SMW I mentioned earlier, these guys are goofy-looking, but dangerous. It's no fun having to get past them. They can take a good bit of your energy.
