I'm a barber. I used to have a client who wore that mustache and I was the one who had to shave it into existence every three weeks or so. He was a great client, who tipped well... but I absolutely hated being forced to create that thing; it was just nasty looking, and had a *Pedo Factor of about 9.5.* He was the only client I ever had who I secretly wished wouldn't tell everyone who his barber was.
Well, rationally-speaking, the normal katamaris probably ended up with a lot of congealed flesh mixed in there anyway. I didn't see the Prince exactly shying away from sentient life when he was enacting his planetary apocalypse.
@@nikhilpolekar8325 Katamari Damacy, an old Playstation game in which you play a tiny guy who rolls around a magic ball. Everything that touches the ball and is smaller sticks to it and adds to its side. And as you keep rolling it, stuff starts sticking to it, making it grow larger, and even bigger things get sticking to it.
When I first played Halo when it came out, I played Co-Op with a buddy. The Library took us 5 hours. Flood aren't just zombies, but zombies who retain the use of weapons.
they did forget to mention the flood spawners( I don’t remember the name)that explode when you get close taking your shields out so the horde that they spawn can devour you to join their ranks
It gets so much worse. They can use rocket launchers and drive cars and tanks. And to take over the galaxy, you obviously have to fly space ships as well.
I think this was supposed to go out on Thursday (they even mentioned it on the Wednesday stream), I'm guessing someone forgot to set the publishing schedule up (or some other problem). I'm not complaining though, we're not lacking content that's for sure.
Two questions. One: Can we get that game where people are infected with something that turns them into lizard people that Mike mentioned? Two: Why did you stop reading the comments in the commenter edition videos?
I'd never thought about any of the Reaper's creations as zombies, but it totally makes sense. Ignoring that though it doesn't matter what they're classified as Banshees were terrifying the first time I saw them, and even three playthroughs in they are still surprisingly scary.
you didnt think of the reaper creations as zombies? I mean the husks are basically just tech-ified zombies and they definitely look the part. Banshees are also definitely horrifying, those and the zombie rachni and the collectors turning people into person-juice via those swarms literally gave me a week-long series of nightmares when I first played the game.
@@SpydersByte Yep. It's just one of those things that I never thought about the two in conjunction. The Reaperfied-Rachni never got me, or at least not at all in the memorable way that the Banshees did.
I always wondered if the Banshee's were what the Asari really looked like without that handy perception filter to make them appear like whatever race is viewing them.
@@rikusschulze6249 Canon lore for Asari is that they have a perception filter which makes every other race see them as similar to them hence the blue women your human character see's them as and the references by other races to seeing them as similar to them. Banshee are made from Asari so . . .
The flood got me. I was playing halo for the first time a few months ago and didn't know much about the games. I freaked out when I first met the flood.

Only time Dying Light could ever actually scare me. Everytime I see one of those things it always give me a jump scare. Mostly because the idea of a baby being turned into such a gruesome creature, then I have to kill said baby makes me feel like a monster. Surprised it didn't scar my 12 year old mind when I first played Dying Light.
I don't know if they qualify as zombies, but the Descendants from Uncharted: Drake's Fortune deserve a spot on this list. According to Nate, they are even scarier than Sully's moustache!

It was the zombies in the original Thief games that really got to me. In a stealth game with limited combat capabilities, it's utterly terrifying to run into a Hammerite Apparrition (undead, tough, hammer-wielding zombie) in the Haunted Cathedral, or one of the Puppets (undead former insane asylum inmate with cages on their heads and hands) of the Shalebridge Cradle. It doesn't help that the Puppets move in a horrifying, twitchy way, and are only encountered in areas where the lighting constantly goes all flickery.
Fire Emblem Awakening: the Risen. Undead masked warriors from the future. Very likely related to the shambling masked zombies in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia's postgame dungeon, the Labyrinth of Thabes.
Supposedly, this connection is actually confirmed if you finish it. Unfortunately, i was an idiot who brought both Alm and Celica, and i wasn't willing to start the whole thing over when Celica died on the 8th out of 10 very long floors.
The worst thing about the Screamers from Days Gone is the fact you can hear her singing in the distance, terrifying if you just hear her in the distance and you know you could stumble across her any moment!
That Mass Effect joke, about using squad commands cause you're too scared to look, I'm pretty sure Jane said it years ago. Andy, did you steal a joke form Jane? Be careful, or she might lend you an eldritch blast.
Abby taking on the Rat King is an unforgettably terrifying moment, from the build up to the reveal. God how she was able to take it down, fuckin badass
Pale Heads, Crimson Heads, but for me the most unsettling zombie like creature in Resident Evil are the Lickers. While most undead enemies are on the ground looking terrifying, the Lickers can scurry around on the ceiling, jumping from shadow to shadow just looking for the right angle to grab you with it's icky long tongue
Banshees are horrifying. Back when I originally played Mass Effect 3 I was on some heavy medication for a broken leg and I remember having a week-long series of nightmares about the zombified rachni and banshees in the game that had me so horrified that I've never forgotten it. Crazy, I still don't understand what brought it on or what the nightmares were mostly about exactly but I remember being terrified out of my mind for days on end.
While the Screamer in Days Gone is a massive pain, I found them quite easily dealt with through stealth (my favourite was the crossbow, which is a one hit kill). However the Reachers, which appear quite late in the game, were the one that I truly feared. They are faster, stronger and more resilient than other humanoid freakers, clever enough to stalk you and extremely tenacious. They will chase you down and drag you off your bike, if they spot you.
What about the Grim from Resistance 2 and 3? I still remember the first time you encounter them in the second game, stil have chills thinking about those dark hallways
The stalkers in titanfall 2 effect and cause present are basically robotic walking dead zombies and crawlers. You don't know which will turn on but with a tool called the L-star you can make quick work of them.
Dying Light's volatiles have nothing on the godsdamned baby. I saw it in an apartment building in the Slums and my reaction was to chant "no no no no" for about five minutes straight as I tried to wrap my head around this monstrosity.

Ahhh yes, the Banshee. It certainly has a terrifying introduction but was more terrifying still in the horde multiplayer. The memory of the first time my krogan had its insides shown to itself by one of those lithe freaks of biotech that popped in right beside him was one I won't ever forget.
Just wanted to say that Days Gone is an underrated gem, easily one of my games of the year and I gleefully earned the Platinum on that game and have recently gone back just to play through it again. If you haven't checked it out yet then you really should.
The Halo rings do seem like an over reaction, till you remember your own instinct to burn down your house to rid yourself of a particularly large house spider.
They also left out the part where the flood tend to collect bodies to fuse in to one massive blob of hivemind intelligence known as the Proto-Gravemind... A few more 100,000 bodies and you have a Gravemind, then the Halos are warranted XD
Turns out I'm still a bit traumatized by the banshee. When I heard the scream in the video, my shoulders tightened and my hands clenched. I am someone who has never finished a single horror game, but as a big Mass Effect fan, I had to beat that game.
I got one, how about the infestation from Warframe, it can take over technology as well as organic creatures, it even took over an entire moon, sure u can shred them because your a superpowered space ninja but if you’re a normal person they would be terrifying to come across, especially things like the Jordas Golem
Infested chargers are the worst in my opinion. Surethey're a bog standardmob that die in droves. But if you look closely it turns out it was a normal guy the infestation bent over backwards and turned in to a quadruped. The original head hangs from the bottom seemingly unused, while some new sensory organs seem to have formed on what was the back of the shoulders.
The Evil Within series has both the Haunted and the Lost not only do these creatures feed on flesh but they also know how to use weapons and set traps, they also seem to have a basic understanding of tactics preferring to attack the main protagonist Sebastian Castellanos in large numbers.
Oh my goodness yes. Since when we’re zombies allowed to use sniper rifles?! Though currently I’m getting one-hit killed by Laura so I would like to nominate every zombie in The Evil Within.
Well I have extra zombie (well not humanoid zombie but it still have body parts of humans which something read about in lore book for it) know as Spider from Hunt Showdown where go around hunt bounty of boss like enemies and Spider is one bounties meaning to get it you have kill as main objective and reason why I say scarier than flame hook zombie is because it ability lung grab you (which basically a jump scare that damages you with poison) and you can’t actually see sometimes due fact it place is cover in webs well at least you light it on fire for good amount damage.
5:03..exact same thing happened to me when trying to burn up a zombie in Resi Evil remake,I ran to the nearest door and was to scared to finish the game lol
When you first fought them, did you happen to accidentally let one get behind you? That was a nice surprise in the final room of the ardat yakshi monastery.
@@NotAVeryGoodNickname that shit was nightmare fuel i havnt played mass effect in years but didnt they throw more than one of them at you at one point?
Absolutely *wretched* for Infiltrator class. You spend the entire game training yourself to do headshots, only to end up with your scope filled with that face. *Then* it teleports out of your sights and fifty feet closer to you.
Fallout 3? Come on going from Galaxy News Radio to the Mall for the first time going the way it tells you is horrifying, you go through like 5 subways filled with them with no rest stops or anything, only to then be ambushed by a ton of super mutants as you run to a area you can fast travel back to
@@marhawkman303 technically no, the Rat King is comprised of multiple reanimated corpses, reanimated through the cordycep fungus. Ghouls are just mutants that suffered from the FEV virus, mutating their genetics and giving them a pretty near immortal lifespan. Ferals are those who have lost the sense of reason due to higher intake of radiation, though their technically not undead. The only being that’s not undead in Last Of Us is the Runner, acting almost similar like a feral human. Once the Fungus starts stage 2 the host is pretty much a corpse
Runners were scarier than screamers in days gone. You learn to deal with both of them eventually but the runners were the only thing capable of catching you on your bike, that and a sniper, because apparently they can also shoot through solid mountains.
When I first played Halo 3 (the first one I ended up playing because my cousin introduced me to it) when I was around 11 or 12, encountering the flood actually was something that made me want to stop playing. Not at first: they aren’t so bad in the light and with a friend, but when I tried it in the solo campaign, I was scared enough by the time you had to jump into the massive pit that I couldn’t go on (after jumping in and having massive swarms of zombie-like aliens run at the speed of sound in a series of dimly-lit, blood-colored corridors with the texture of flesh).
The creatures in the first Uncharted game got me good. The level where you're trying to get the power on and all the lights are red while zombies pop out around the corners is proper scary.
How have we gotten through 14 of these without discussing the Half-Life 2 fast headcrab zombie? When those things first show up in Ravenholm, we immediately understand why we don't go there.
How about Lich from Arx Fatalis? Those guys are really true to their name having large amount of health, horrifying in a good sense design, and having a great magical abilities able to turn invisible, summon zombies, paralyze you, and simply laughing scary. Also at some point the game throws two of those bad boys at you.
The Binding of Isaac has many things you would consider a zombie, most of which you would consider a baby, and all of which you would consider horrifying.
My favorite way to fight Banshees (as a Vanguard): biotic charge, couple shotgun shell hits while backing up, hit em with a nova charge, wash, rinse, repeat until dead. Kinda feels fun to be able to be like "you aint special, I can teleport too!"
The child enemies in Dead space 2 always scared me more than the stalkers. With the disturbingly authentic screams they make when you kill them, or the fact that the exploding ones often make crying baby noises
What about the Feral Ghoul Reavers from the Fallout 3: Broken Steel DLC? They looked horrifying, are outright bullet sponges, hit like a speeding Corvega Highwayman, and throw pieces of themselves at you which explode like radioactive gore grenades; also, they are often found in large packs of Feral Ghouls, sometimes with other Reavers. I don’t think I need to say more than that.
I know it's not a video game, but I think one of the freakiest zombie types is from the book "The Girl With All The Gifts." The corticeps zombies in that book hold perfectly still like statues until they spot movement, smell human pheromones, or hear something they think might be a person. Then they leap into full speed with inhuman quickness and chase down the prey. Hitting them in the head won't kill them, either. Best you can do is take out their legs so they can't run anymore.
10:30 Banshees also had one other issue that made you fill with dread when spotted ... magnet hands. They could suck your character back to them if they decided to insta kill you even if you got 3 meters away from them.
Another detail about Halo's Flood, they don't die unless you completely destroy the body. A dead flood can just be revived once again by an infection form, and in Halo 1 they just get back up on their own
Teleporting, psychokinetic, armored, force field generating techno-zombies capable of homing energy blasts. Gets named "Banshee" because of the unnerving shrieking. Thanks for not putting a warning on the label, Asari... Seriously, though, thier introduction was an excellent and creepy slow burn. One of my favorite atmospheric moments in ME3.
Don’t forget the zombie deer from Timesplitters: Future Perfect! Also, the Flood aren’t just physically and viscerally horrifying, but existentially, as well.
When I first played RE:Remaster ngl crimson heads were the biggest "man i just dont even wanna play now" factor lmao. Friend was like "you better make sure you dont kill any zombies, but I know you, you'll run through the game killing EVERYTHING so.... have fun" and I responded "What do you mean? Whats wrong with killing things?" he said "You'll see" and man did I ever see.
Ni no kuni: Wrath of the White Witch wins for the "horrible zobies out of nowhere" category! There are undead familiars which are cute but in the second half we get the towns people that become zombies, zombie horses, zombie fish and werewolves. Not to mention the extremely terrifying music...

Supposedly, this connection is actually confirmed if you finish it. Unfortunately, i was an idiot who brought both Alm and Celica, and i wasn't willing to start the whole thing over when Celica died on the 8th out of 10 very long floors.
They’re also a good contender for “most ironically named enemy” on the basis they fell from the sky
Aah yes, the Event Horizon reference makes me very happy. Thank you again Mike! :)
The worst thing about the Screamers from Days Gone is the fact you can hear her singing in the distance, terrifying if you just hear her in the distance and you know you could stumble across her any moment!
That Mass Effect joke, about using squad commands cause you're too scared to look, I'm pretty sure Jane said it years ago. Andy, did you steal a joke form Jane?
Be careful, or she might lend you an eldritch blast.
Abby taking on the Rat King is an unforgettably terrifying moment, from the build up to the reveal. God how she was able to take it down, fuckin badass
Burying it in the woods? Do you know what's in the woods? Zombies.
Ah yes, the Flood. One of the best/worst parts about them is that they don't straight up kill what they infect! The host is just along for the ride.
Off the back of this, probably not going to be the only one who's mentioned this, who would love to see an OXbox/OXtra series on Phasmophobia?
Pale Heads, Crimson Heads, but for me the most unsettling zombie like creature in Resident Evil are the Lickers. While most undead enemies are on the ground looking terrifying, the Lickers can scurry around on the ceiling, jumping from shadow to shadow just looking for the right angle to grab you with it's icky long tongue
Weird that Mikes comment about being off for a week and coming back to a full inbox is coming right at the end of my week off 😅😅
Idk if this counts, but pagan cross from the forest can really give some "NOPE NOT PLAYING THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE" feelings.
That description of Oregon in Days Gone sounded like real life for a minute
Oh god, Necromorph Stalkers....blocked that scream from my memory. Thanks for the nightmare resurgence, guys
When u realize the “Golden crayon” actually was the “diarrhea crayon”
Banshees are horrifying. Back when I originally played Mass Effect 3 I was on some heavy medication for a broken leg and I remember having a week-long series of nightmares about the zombified rachni and banshees in the game that had me so horrified that I've never forgotten it. Crazy, I still don't understand what brought it on or what the nightmares were mostly about exactly but I remember being terrified out of my mind for days on end.
9:56 my immediate thought: "oh shit, it's a Karen!"
While the Screamer in Days Gone is a massive pain, I found them quite easily dealt with through stealth (my favourite was the crossbow, which is a one hit kill).
However the Reachers, which appear quite late in the game, were the one that I truly feared. They are faster, stronger and more resilient than other humanoid freakers, clever enough to stalk you and extremely tenacious. They will chase you down and drag you off your bike, if they spot you.
What about the Grim from Resistance 2 and 3? I still remember the first time you encounter them in the second game, stil have chills thinking about those dark hallways
The stalkers in titanfall 2 effect and cause present are basically robotic walking dead zombies and crawlers. You don't know which will turn on but with a tool called the L-star you can make quick work of them.
Every zombie. Cause im a coward.
Dying Light's volatiles have nothing on the godsdamned baby. I saw it in an apartment building in the Slums and my reaction was to chant "no no no no" for about five minutes straight as I tried to wrap my head around this monstrosity. The worst part is that you HAVE to kill it to progress the game. After the deed was done, I wanted to just drop my shotgun and go home. I still hate myself for it.
These zombies scare the crap out of me but I love the creativity
There are an awful lot of screaming lady zombies
Ahhh yes, the Banshee. It certainly has a terrifying introduction but was more terrifying still in the horde multiplayer. The memory of the first time my krogan had its insides shown to itself by one of those lithe freaks of biotech that popped in right beside him was one I won't ever forget.
Just wanted to say that Days Gone is an underrated gem, easily one of my games of the year and I gleefully earned the Platinum on that game and have recently gone back just to play through it again. If you haven't checked it out yet then you really should.
"...they've cooked up some hot new flavors of Necromorphs to event your horizon" 🤣🤣🤣
The Halo rings do seem like an over reaction, till you remember your own instinct to burn down your house to rid yourself of a particularly large house spider.
They also left out the part where the flood tend to collect bodies to fuse in to one massive blob of hivemind intelligence known as the Proto-Gravemind... A few more 100,000 bodies and you have a Gravemind, then the Halos are warranted XD
Turns out I'm still a bit traumatized by the banshee. When I heard the scream in the video, my shoulders tightened and my hands clenched.
I am someone who has never finished a single horror game, but as a big Mass Effect fan, I had to beat that game.
The Deerhaunter and other monstrosities from Time Splitters Future Perfect (a truly underrated game and one of my faves of all time)
They really need to rerelease Timesplitters 2 and FP so newcomers will enjoy them as well.
I honestly remember my heart racing when I ran from the Rat King. When the stalker part came loose I was just "nonononono BYE"
I got one, how about the infestation from Warframe, it can take over technology as well as organic creatures, it even took over an entire moon, sure u can shred them because your a superpowered space ninja but if you’re a normal person they would be terrifying to come across, especially things like the Jordas Golem
Infested chargers are the worst in my opinion. Surethey're a bog standardmob that die in droves. But if you look closely it turns out it was a normal guy the infestation bent over backwards and turned in to a quadruped. The original head hangs from the bottom seemingly unused, while some new sensory organs seem to have formed on what was the back of the shoulders.
@@jonathandavies1716 agreed, just the thought of that happening to me make me feel sick
The Evil Within series has both the Haunted and the Lost not only do these creatures feed on flesh but they also know how to use weapons and set traps, they also seem to have a basic understanding of tactics preferring to attack the main protagonist Sebastian Castellanos in large numbers.
Oh my goodness yes. Since when we’re zombies allowed to use sniper rifles?! Though currently I’m getting one-hit killed by Laura so I would like to nominate every zombie in The Evil Within.
I expected the ferals from state of decay to make an appearance on here.
Next one?
5:33 amazing delivery there Jane lmao
Well I have extra zombie (well not humanoid zombie but it still have body parts of humans which something read about in lore book for it) know as Spider from Hunt Showdown where go around hunt bounty of boss like enemies and Spider is one bounties meaning to get it you have kill as main objective and reason why I say scarier than flame hook zombie is because it ability lung grab you (which basically a jump scare that damages you with poison) and you can’t actually see sometimes due fact it place is cover in webs well at least you light it on fire for good amount damage.
5:03..exact same thing happened to me when trying to burn up a zombie in Resi Evil remake,I ran to the nearest door and was to scared to finish the game lol
There’s a few zombies in political office that make me want to quit 2020 immediately
The Rat King can burn in all of the hells. Nothing makes Abby more relatable than the fear and panic she shows fighting that terrifying monster.
”Nothing makes Abby relatable." Fixed
Banshees are seriously the most terrifying enemy in just about any role playing game
When you first fought them, did you happen to accidentally let one get behind you? That was a nice surprise in the final room of the ardat yakshi monastery.
@@NotAVeryGoodNickname that shit was nightmare fuel i havnt played mass effect in years but didnt they throw more than one of them at you at one point?
Absolutely *wretched* for Infiltrator class. You spend the entire game training yourself to do headshots, only to end up with your scope filled with that face. *Then* it teleports out of your sights and fifty feet closer to you.
@@bradmoyer9050 oh yeah i remember that crap ugh i think my first playthrough was infiltrator not fun at all
Concussive shot is your best friend when facing those things
I agree with Jane about Andy's Shepard. I didn't know a John Waters mustache was even an option.
What do you mean, where’s Fallout 4 and 76’s Feral Ghouls?!
technically not zombies, their just immortal feral humans
Fallout 3? Come on going from Galaxy News Radio to the Mall for the first time going the way it tells you is horrifying, you go through like 5 subways filled with them with no rest stops or anything, only to then be ambushed by a ton of super mutants as you run to a area you can fast travel back to
@@combineeliteunit8769 If you go that route then Rat king wouldn't count since it's a fungus infestation.
@@marhawkman303 technically no, the Rat King is comprised of multiple reanimated corpses, reanimated through the cordycep fungus. Ghouls are just mutants that suffered from the FEV virus, mutating their genetics and giving them a pretty near immortal lifespan. Ferals are those who have lost the sense of reason due to higher intake of radiation, though their technically not undead. The only being that’s not undead in Last Of Us is the Runner, acting almost similar like a feral human. Once the Fungus starts stage 2 the host is pretty much a corpse
@@combineeliteunit8769 Actually Fallout lore suggests that Ghouls ARE undead. They may feel hunger, but they can't die of starvation.
Runners were scarier than screamers in days gone. You learn to deal with both of them eventually but the runners were the only thing capable of catching you on your bike, that and a sniper, because apparently they can also shoot through solid mountains.
Y'all are crazy, they never made a sequel to The Last Of Us.
When I first played Halo 3 (the first one I ended up playing because my cousin introduced me to it) when I was around 11 or 12, encountering the flood actually was something that made me want to stop playing. Not at first: they aren’t so bad in the light and with a friend, but when I tried it in the solo campaign, I was scared enough by the time you had to jump into the massive pit that I couldn’t go on (after jumping in and having massive swarms of zombie-like aliens run at the speed of sound in a series of dimly-lit, blood-colored corridors with the texture of flesh).
Football zombie you can only beat that thing with a hypo-shroom
magnet shrooms grab their helmets too
@@lordravenblade I actually didn't know that
@@Varis... yeah it'd be way more broken if you could only counter them with a one-use item.
The creatures in the first Uncharted game got me good. The level where you're trying to get the power on and all the lights are red while zombies pop out around the corners is proper scary.
Hey you, have a good day. That's all.
How have we gotten through 14 of these without discussing the Half-Life 2 fast headcrab zombie? When those things first show up in Ravenholm, we immediately understand why we don't go there.
love the channel guys keep up the great work.
How about Lich from Arx Fatalis? Those guys are really true to their name having large amount of health, horrifying in a good sense design, and having a great magical abilities able to turn invisible, summon zombies, paralyze you, and simply laughing scary. Also at some point the game throws two of those bad boys at you.
The Binding of Isaac has many things you would consider a zombie, most of which you would consider a baby, and all of which you would consider horrifying.
How perfect i watched the first part earlier then i come back and BOOM another video , love you guys!
watching that bit when the red stalkers chasing Jill i cant help but imagine the benny hill theme playing over the top of that
My favorite way to fight Banshees (as a Vanguard): biotic charge, couple shotgun shell hits while backing up, hit em with a nova charge, wash, rinse, repeat until dead. Kinda feels fun to be able to be like "you aint special, I can teleport too!"
The child enemies in Dead space 2 always scared me more than the stalkers. With the disturbingly authentic screams they make when you kill them, or the fact that the exploding ones often make crying baby noises
The Banshees from ME3 were pretty scary.
"- they're basically the only zombies that read Sun Tzu's Art of War. "
😂
"Gruesome flesh-katamari" The writing in these videos is always amazing.
What makes the Jockey for me is the mod that replaces its sounds with Beavis quotes.
What about the Feral Ghoul Reavers from the Fallout 3: Broken Steel DLC?
They looked horrifying, are outright bullet sponges, hit like a speeding Corvega Highwayman, and throw pieces of themselves at you which explode like radioactive gore grenades; also, they are often found in large packs of Feral Ghouls, sometimes with other Reavers.
I don’t think I need to say more than that.
Man reavers were scary in 3 then you go to 76 an they fold like paper when you shoot them.
Their glitchy glow effects after they die? Random glowing green flame-like effects in a empty room spooked be bad in the lovecraftian mining building
I know it's not a video game, but I think one of the freakiest zombie types is from the book "The Girl With All The Gifts." The corticeps zombies in that book hold perfectly still like statues until they spot movement, smell human pheromones, or hear something they think might be a person. Then they leap into full speed with inhuman quickness and chase down the prey. Hitting them in the head won't kill them, either. Best you can do is take out their legs so they can't run anymore.
10:30 Banshees also had one other issue that made you fill with dread when spotted ... magnet hands. They could suck your character back to them if they decided to insta kill you even if you got 3 meters away from them.
Another detail about Halo's Flood, they don't die unless you completely destroy the body. A dead flood can just be revived once again by an infection form, and in Halo 1 they just get back up on their own
The way the stalkers would peak their heads out would always make me shit myself lmaooo
Teleporting, psychokinetic, armored, force field generating techno-zombies capable of homing energy blasts. Gets named "Banshee" because of the unnerving shrieking. Thanks for not putting a warning on the label, Asari...
Seriously, though, thier introduction was an excellent and creepy slow burn. One of my favorite atmospheric moments in ME3.
Don’t forget the zombie deer from Timesplitters: Future Perfect! Also, the Flood aren’t just physically and viscerally horrifying, but existentially, as well.
When I first played RE:Remaster ngl crimson heads were the biggest "man i just dont even wanna play now" factor lmao. Friend was like "you better make sure you dont kill any zombies, but I know you, you'll run through the game killing EVERYTHING so.... have fun" and I responded "What do you mean? Whats wrong with killing things?" he said "You'll see" and man did I ever see.
Never in Dayd Gone have I been more scared than when fracking zombie bear rushed at me...
That was horrible the first time I saw one.
Ni no kuni: Wrath of the White Witch wins for the "horrible zobies out of nowhere" category! There are undead familiars which are cute but in the second half we get the towns people that become zombies, zombie horses, zombie fish and werewolves. Not to mention the extremely terrifying music...
I don't remember much from when my brother and I played halo.... but you never forget the flood. I had nightmares at the time.
