I kid you not, one of the glitches that scared me the most was in a GBA Dora the Explorer game. When Boots climbs a vine, there is normally a sound effect that rises in pitch as he climbs. Normally, you can't climb a vine when you're already at the top. There is one vine that does allow you to climb up infinitely. If you continually climb the vine, the sound effect will become corrupted. I was just trying to see how high the sound effect would go, I didn't expect an audio jumpscare.
The mannequins glitch is pretty funny mostly because it's shocking it ever got in. The way mannequins work in TES games is they are normal NPCs like your every day townspeople with a specific skin to look mannequin-y and their primary speech dialogue brings up the custom trade menus to feed them armor sets. The problem with Hearthfires is Bethesda FORGOT TO DISABLE THE AI in Honeymead Manor, lol. The first patch caused the magic mannequins you showed where they could only use their AI routines when you weren't around (I don't even know how they did this one).
Ashtarte It is interesting. Many glitches come about from developers using some sort of shortcut when coding to make the work easier when developing. I always think back to pokemon and how certain actions we're semi dependent on one another and could easily break the game.
The only times I've seen them moving around on my end as an Unofficial Patch user is when my system's memory is clogged up by something happening in the background (mostly Windows Update) or the few times I tried to run one of the more intensive mods, like Dragonborn Gallery. I'm sure if the Unofficial Patch doesn't 100% fix it now there's other fixes about, but I can't say I've seen the glitch with the houses I use mostly.
Yeah they are based on a generic nord testing npc to get average height instead of killing the AI they put in a trash code originally that was supposed to stop AI behaviors along with a code to interact with their abilities to equip items one of those codes worked on release the other (ai pathings) had to be patched out eventually trapping those sad nordic men incased in wood forever to be used as your coat rack you filthy beast
@@johnsorrows8998 This. This is the true horror. Not the fact that they walk around, but learning why they move (that they are people made into wood) and that they were changed to move no more. Forever trapped, unmoving, unable to stop anything that is being done to them.

Probably the creepiest glitch I've heard of has to be the Jockey Face glitch in Left 4 Dead 2, where in earlier versions of the game, sometimes the textures for the back of the moving trucks and Jockeys would swap with each other, and the back of the truck would have such a terrifying face to it.
Frahd Chikun I remember experiencing that shit before it was patched. I was in like sixth grade, and I had never screamed so loud when playing a video game.
I encountered a glitch in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire that literally made me cry once. (Before you judge me, original Sapphire was what got me into gaming and this was on my first play through of Alpha) I had just beaten Steven, and I waited patiently as the game auto saved before the credits rolled. I watched nostalgically as screenshots from major points in the game rolled by. But when it got to the final Wally battle, it stayed at that point. The credits kept running and the music continued, but the screen didn’t proceed. It was a semi-blind play through, so I initially thought that was the last screenshot. But after the credits finished and the music ended, I was still stuck there. I tried to stay calm, and I reset my game. It happened again. I turned my game off, pop it out, blow on both it and the slot it goes in, put it back in, try again. Same thing. I started tearing up and panicking a little. I went to Cartridges Galore (an amazing used game store, if you have one in your area I strongly recommend it), explain my situation, and they help me download a patch to fix the glitch
For anyone wondering, the Sims 3 & 4 baby glitches are caused by babies wearing clothes that are meant for anyone older. The horrifying result is the toddler/teenager/adult/elder's body being contorted to try and fit the clothes while still being a baby. As Rabbidluigi points out it only happens with custom content, of which some people can create clothes to be eligible for babies when they really shouldn't be. I'm not sure how easy of a fix it would be for EA but it's continuing in Sims 4 because people creating custom content are still making these mistakes. So yes, I've dealt with a number of glitched-out babies in Sims 3 and plenty of other faulty custom content glitches. Seeing men accidentally wearing women's shirts is quite hilarious as well.
A lt of that custom content was essentially attached to other people's custom content without their knowledge, which is also basically how computer viruses spread. Yep, the demon babies are literally viruses.
ruth mcnally oh, didn’t know that. I actually am fairly obsessed with Sims 4 and use CC, but never have downloaded anything for babies/is able to be put on both babies & adults. I always wondered why it never happened to me.
I love that glitched out intro, nice extra bit of effort from you for the spooky occasion. As someone who doesn't know many famous glitches, I found this countdown fascinating. I need to go read more TV Tropes on this sort of thing.
In a way, the Skyrim mannequin glitch is intentional. The mannequins are coded just like NPCs, including regular sandboxing, but with some extra code put in place to tell them to remain completely still. It's that added bit of code which breaks with the glitch, turning them into generic NPCs with no real A.I. leaving them with no behavior to follow except to move around randomly. Then, when the code switches back on, they freeze in place again in odd places. So, technically, the behavior is programmed.
I've actually seen it happen a few times in Oldrim, especially in the Dragonborn Gallery from Legacy of the Dragonborn, and ages ago I had it happen once I spruced up the Northern Cardinal. I'm terrible with jumpscares so I avoid the horror genre, but seeing those things CROWDED AROUND ME BEFORE TELEPORTING WHERE THEY BELONGED made me crap my thousand pounds of inventory, lemme tell ya.
Gratuitous Lurking “...made me crap my thousand pounds of inventory”. When I read that, I immediately remembered that scene from that Spongebob episode “Chocolate With Nuts” where Spongebob and Patrick had a shitton of chocolate bars fall out of their pants. That was a good episode.
couldn't the devs just... reuse the models but remove the movement functionality completely? Like straight up remove the part of their ai that dictates movement, not put extra code in to stop them from moving.
There was a glitch I encountered in the final episode of Sly 2. This is going to spoil the biggest twist of the series so ... *Spoiler alert* There's a giant robot owl, Clockwerk, that was rebuilt and taken control of by Neyla, so Neyla renames herself as Clockla. She usually is more of a decoration to Arpegio's blimp, just flying around menacingly, but not really attacking anything directly. Or at least, that's how she should work. I was watching her movement to see if there might be a place I could jump onto her back, but she moves under the airship so quickly that you'd have no chance to actually land on her. I gave up with that plan, played the Sly helps Murray mission, and on my way back to the safehouse as Murray, I was interrupted by being slammed into by a Robot owl rushing at me. She clipped through the level and everything It was terrifying, but I was more amazed by what had just happened to me. It must have been a glitch, but what caused it? How does Clockla's AI work, and how could her pathway be corrupted?

The mannequins in Skyrim are freaking creepy. I remember I first found them through a mod that added a huge house. ...Except the modder added in a bit of lore to the house. Apparently, the previous occupant had been plagued by a feeling that he wasn’t alone (despite living alone and pretty secluded), and that someone was watching him. There was a key to a hidden section hidden in the house, and finding it let you unlock a false panel in a wardrobe in the main bedroom....The same one where the previous occupant slept.... Going through there, I came across a small room with chests, an enchanting nexus, and an alchemy station. ....Along with about 5 mannequins that all turned their heads and bodies like actual people. At that point I noped the hell out of there and burned the place to the ground (set it on fire and deleted the mod). Looking back, I thought "Maybe it was to show the armor in a more human way, letting you see them with animations and stuff", but I didn’t care, I ain’t going through another Weeping Angels scenario.
This one time, back in WoW Classic, (before modern Classic) I got caught in this odd glitch when transporting on a zeppelin from Orgrimmar to the Undercity. I got booted from the game during the loading screen, and when I logged back on... I was in the Stonetalon Mountains... still on the zeppelin... on a zeppelin in a place where they don’t go... and it wasn’t moving and my character couldn’t move either... and the zeppelin itself had glitched so it appeared as if two of them had just run into each other. I was nervous since I couldn’t preform any actions. I was just stuck... possibly forever. Then I logged out and logged back in to find my character lying dead in the water, outside the game boundary. Pretty creepy.
#1 has been explained, actually. In terms of game coding, the mannequins are actually male Nord NPCs with special textures over them to make them appear made of wood. But they're also given special scripts that force them to stand perfectly still and never do anything. Problem being, sometimes those scripts shit the bed, and you end up with this glitch.
I had the Skyrim mannequin glitch happen really early on in the game's life. A couple months after release before I ever heard word of it. Was in Proudspire in Solitude wandering around crafting and moving gear. Up and down the stairs. At once point I went to my mannequins to put some armor on them, and one was missing. I turned around and the fucker was standing right there motionless. Pretty freaked out, felt fight or flight kick in and I ran so fast up the stairs I'm surprised my boots didn't fly off. Locked myself in the master bedroom and just sat in a corner. After a few minutes I walked out and saw the mannequins walking up the stairs then go motionless. Turned right around and went back in the room. Not long after, they open the door up and walked in. I freaked out, ran past them and out of the house, and NEVER went back in there on that save. First time a game genuinely had me terrified, and it wasn't even a horror game. Had it happen at Honeyside as well, but it wasn't a both so much then. I believe Honeyside has the largest statistical chance of that glitch happening for some reason
The spookiest glitch I've seen was in stardew I walked in the Easter festival and I was softlocked and what ever took I held was directly above like an item but what actually spooked me was holding the axe made it look like had a few pixels above my head I died in stardew valley
The scariest glitch I have found was in fortnite. I was using a mac and Mac is known at running fortnite, but I had never heard anyone talk about this. I could start to see behind walls and behind people's faces and when I was getting of the bus the ground was textureless and the screen was bright I could hardly see anything and I could see everyone's eyes and teeth behind there face. I ended up deleting it and redownloading it I was playing with my friends when it was happening and I shared my screen with them on Skype they were so confused. I searched up if it had happened to anyone else and I hadn't so that made it even more scary.
I recently had a glitch in Fallout 4 where all of the neighbors who freeze to death in Vault 111 come back to life, but are still covered in the creepy ice texture.
6:30 Greg Davis: and as the sperm swims towards the egg, I've just ruined this fried breakfast. Andy Parsons: I am never going to have a fried breakfast again
Fun Fact: Silent Hills was going to be made glitch on purpose to make it even scarier and have been worked out how to make the glitches really freaky and unique for everyone so even when you see videos on youtube it wouldn't be the same for you. Thanks a fucking lot Konami.
When I first saw the walking mannequins on the 360 I had no clue it was a glitch. I was disappointed when I was unable to recruit the Mannequins as a follower. Since getting the ES Anthology and SE of Skyrim I made a Mannequin follower mod for myself.
The scariest glitches i have come across are the ones where you are jumping or falling and you hit something with a broken collision box and you fall through the world. It makes it scarier (and frankly terrible) when you don't die either.
Tbh the moving mannequins glitch is probs because they're retextured humans who are meant to stand still.... good job bethesda, between that and the subway car hat and the plant carriers you're really doing a good job with your reuse of NPCs.
How hard is it to just take out the AI for that specific npc? Like for real. Idk much about making video games but I'd assume that removing AI from a specific npc wouldn't be difficult
I feel like the devs could've just reused the models but removed the current ai and replaced it with new ai, or just taken out the part that dictates movement, instead of just adding a few extra lines of code that don't work... edit: also SURELY somebody caught this in the testing phases before the dlc came out, I refuse to believe this never came up in testing
As someone who does occasionally tamper in martial arts, the bit about "missing the jaw counts as cheating?" was flippin histerical. Also seriously? LIVING MANNEQUINS? Wow, it's almost like Skyrim is taunting me to actually finally play it or something. Great vid as always William, keep it up you crazy ACTUALLY CANON character!
I remember a long while ago when I used to play around with Modded ES: Oblivion a lot, I got a glitch where some facial mods would collide with each other and create some pretty freaky shit. I was trying to get some new eye textures in game cause I wanted more eye colours to choose from but the problem was it seemed to collide with another mod I had cause when I would start up the game, all characters in the game would have two eye textures overlapping so they had two individual pupils and iris's in the same eye socket, not the best thing to encounter when you are playing Oblivion late at night.
The scariest glitch I've seen is the one where EA announced Visceral Games was being shut down. What do you mean that actually happened? Oh... Well, crap.
I've seen dogs using human and stretchy models on both Sims three and four. Also, adults playing with toddlers on Sims four occasionally dislocate their arms so the toddlers can stay on the floor. That's some dedication.
Rewatching this video, I was reminded of ONE occasion where I was sent in a panicky fit by the same thing you claim really bothers you at the beginning of the number one spot. Pray tell, Rabbid, I can't remember... have you ever played Terraria?
A while ago they had fixed the demonic noodle babies on both the sims 3 and 4, apparently one of the things that caused it in the fourth one is if a gallery character had a child with a non gallery character.
The mannequins in Skyrim glitching occur primarily because they are tagged as NPC's in the game. This tag is why you can put armor on them, but sometimes the code can break and they start to act like NPC's without a behavioural file.
*"The Roots of Fear is simply Danger, yet the Roots of Terror are planted in Oppression."* Horror is psychological and can be lived with if even enjoyed, but Terror is what grips you by your soul. Fear can be overcome but to know Oppression isn't a fun nor simple thing, thus why true terror lasts. ;''3 Am I Wrong?
dude the Watson “glitch” was fully intentional, the developers were just too lazy to give Watson any walking animation but they still wanted the player to have access to him at all times.
It's actually kind of pathetic when you think about it. They programmed and animated the entire rest of the game (which is definitely harder than a simple walking animation) and then they for some reason were too fucking lazy to just make another animation? Pathetic
It's worth noting that the Fourth Day glitch missing NPCs missing can probably be explained. I'm pretty sure all the missing NPCs (and objects,) are ones that move from day to day, instead of having set patterns.
That moment when the demon baby in The Sims 4 wasn't even caused by mods or custom content, it was caused by using low end hardware. Needless to say when I first saw that while playing The Sims 4 on my old laptop I was creeped out to no end and couldn't believe what I was seeing.
15:14 - Oh yeah, it *was* intented, that's no error, that's a replacement for proper pathfinding :) It's way easier to creepily teleport him behind you than to make him walk around like a reasonable human being.
The reason the mannequins sometimes move in Skyrim is due to them being programmed as a race, that is simply scripted to be frozen. Sometimes when loading in an area that has them, the script that is supposed to freeze them doesn't run and causes them to function as NPCs. If they relocate this is caused by them beginning to move and then stopping in place as their freeze script finally runs, changing their position. It's worth noting that Bethesda shipped out most of Skyrim's DLC not completely finished, though they fix the more prominent issues later (sometimes).
I knew that Dr. Watson's disturbingly accurate Slenderman impersonation make this list. Anybody got some apples? I need to keep this doctor as far away from me as possible.
Funny thing about the Skyrim mannequins! They are technically NPC ENTITIES that are coded to be static shapes. The issues you see there are when there's a wee bit too much script load and the mannequin isn't put into 'statue' mode. I think the unofficial patches fix this to a degree, but I've seen the mannequins on the Northern Cardinal or the armory of the Dragonborn Museum crowd around the entry door when I enter, only to teleport back into position... *shudders*
I’m skyrim’s hearthfire dlc there’s another glitch where bandits abduct your spouse and you have to rescue them. When you get there, they’re gone. Go back to your house, and they’re back, but never the same. Weird animations, completely broken pathfinding, random dialogue. Damn... what did those bandits do?
The only glitch i've experienced that horrified me was in assassins creed 3 multiplayer (ps3 version only and came up randomly during its last few months before ac4). Where suddenly the screen froze then went black and all you hear is screeching and exploding noises at the highest volume possible, that honestly makes you feel like your ps3 is ready to blow at any minute. Scared the crap out of me and my friends whenever they got it.
(If too long, then don't read.) 5:40 regarding the causes of strange glitches... Large programming projects are about as difficult as designing an entire virtual society made up of workers who don't have brains. I wrote a short story to illustrate how a single worker's failure can threaten the fate of the whole society, be countered with serious precautions, and produce an outcome that looks random and broken, but is infinitely better than the alternatives. Premise: *President asks for a picture with ducks, and when he gets it back, the ducks have no feathers.* Story: 1. The president asks the vice president for a picture of a pond with ducks. 2. The vice president asks the museum director how many feathers are on a duck, and a thousand other questions. 3. The museum director answers some things from memory and books, but asks the head of biology how many feathers are on a duck. The head of biology asks the duck specialist, who asks his assistant. 4. The assistant to the duck specialist tries to count the feathers on a duck, but the duck is actually venomous, and it bites him. He says to the duck specialist, "I've been poisoned!! OH! it burns!! Everything is going dark. Tell my wife that I..." 5. This response isn't the actual number of feathers on the duck, but his assistant has never made a mistake before, so the duck specialist faithfully emails his assistant's words to the head of biology. 6. The head of biology starts talking to the museum director, saying "The number you requested is ", and as he talks, he opens the email from the duck specialist. It starts out "I've been poisoned!!" and doesn't have a number in it, but he already promised the museum director he would say a number! He must respond, and can't do anything else. Faced with this situation, the head of biology dies instantly. 7. Now the museum director now knows that the number is "". But he notices that something is wrong! The museum director is explicitly trained to never give the vice president a null value in his response book, so he just uses the number zero, even though it's probably not the number that the vice president wanted. He doesn't have time or resources to do anything else - the head of biology is the only worker he knows to ask. He writes 0, and also gives correct answers to the other thousand questions that the vice president asked. 8. The vice president finished drawing a pond filled with ducks having zero feathers each. 9. The president is satisfied. ----- This may all seem like it's a stupid system, but if you need to design an entire society containing millions of interdependent workers who don't know anything except their own job description, the best thing you can do is instruct the low-profile workers in a way that looks like it will almost never fail, and then instruct the high-profile workers so that they can work through any imaginable failure of workers in the positions just below them. Training every worker to be infallible is not possible, which is why some workers had no training on what to do. But one of them had enough training to insert a fake but _safe_ value, and by doing so, they were able to stop a chain-reaction of instant death from reaching the president and even get most of the important work done. So the glitches we see here, especially in contorted player models, are good things, in a way - they might mean that a catastrophic failure (crash) was avoided by some code ad-libbing its lines in a moment of crisis. Good job, programmers. Just like airline pilots aren't supposed to touch down uber-softly and actually get the more applause for what are technically worse landings, nobody actually congratulates programmers for the smartest things they do, because nobody understands their jobs. I don't even understand it, and I'm a programmer.
The patch for Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare put a game breaking glitch INTO the game. The zombies would randomly lose their heads and become unkillable (pretty terrifying and effective for a zombie DLC) and this would halt all mission progression forcing a hard reset to get things back to normal.......until 20 minutes later when it happened again, and again, and again.
imo, the Fourth Day glitch is the creepiest of them all. First of all, it implies that everybody's (most likely) dead. They're gone, but it's not like they could've ran off somewhere. The second thing is that it can only happen *if the player wills it to happen*. You killed those people. It's eerie.
The moving mannequins is because they use a similar model to NPCs with their AI turned off, the ones in Honeyside sometimes have problems with their AI staying off; it usually only happens when the player is not there, but I have had them follow me before.
I have a countdown suggestion: Top 5 "Cinematic" Boss Battles. Not anticlimactic "boss fights" where the big bad gets killed in a cutscene instead of gameplay. I mean interactive confrontations against an enemy that's played out more in a cinematic and nuanced fashion. The fight might be very simple and easy (sometimes impossible to lose), but character performances, atmosphere, design, and cinematography COMBINED with player interaction make the scene almost, if not *just* as tense as a traditional boss fight would. Examples: Batman vs Joker (in either Arkham Origins or Arkham Knight) Connor vs. Haytham Kenway (Assassin's Creed III) Soap and Price vs. General Shepherd (Modern Warfare 2) Naked Snake vs. Young Ocelot in the WiG (Metal Gear Solid 3) Samus and the Baby Metroid vs. Mother Brain (Super Metroid) Ellie vs. David (The Last of Us) Beast Ganon (Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild) Nathan Drake vs. Rafe Adler (Uncharted 4) ...Admittedly, some of these are more like actual "boss fights" than others. I just wanted to list some examples that I feel fit that definition.
Part of me wishes the Rabbidluigi from the intro will become a recurring character in Rabbid's videos. The other part of me thinks I've been watching too much Markiplier recently.
I know this list is half a year old but there was a glitch in Kingdom Come Deliverance where a corpse would shift to the "standing with arms spread" stance. I saw a video of this happening to the huge corpse pile at the start of the game and I froze in terror.

In a way, the Skyrim mannequin glitch is intentional. The mannequins are coded just like NPCs, including regular sandboxing, but with some extra code put in place to tell them to remain completely still. It's that added bit of code which breaks with the glitch, turning them into generic NPCs with no real A.I. leaving them with no behavior to follow except to move around randomly. Then, when the code switches back on, they freeze in place again in odd places. So, technically, the behavior is programmed.
I've actually seen it happen a few times in Oldrim, especially in the Dragonborn Gallery from Legacy of the Dragonborn, and ages ago I had it happen once I spruced up the Northern Cardinal. I'm terrible with jumpscares so I avoid the horror genre, but seeing those things CROWDED AROUND ME BEFORE TELEPORTING WHERE THEY BELONGED made me crap my thousand pounds of inventory, lemme tell ya.
Gratuitous Lurking
“...made me crap my thousand pounds of inventory”.
When I read that, I immediately remembered that scene from that Spongebob episode “Chocolate With Nuts” where Spongebob and Patrick had a shitton of chocolate bars fall out of their pants. That was a good episode.
All glitches are programmed... I don't know how you think that makes them somehow intentional.
couldn't the devs just... reuse the models but remove the movement functionality completely? Like straight up remove the part of their ai that dictates movement, not put extra code in to stop them from moving.
There was a glitch I encountered in the final episode of Sly 2.
This is going to spoil the biggest twist of the series so ...
*Spoiler alert*
There's a giant robot owl, Clockwerk, that was rebuilt and taken control of by Neyla, so Neyla renames herself as Clockla. She usually is more of a decoration to Arpegio's blimp, just flying around menacingly, but not really attacking anything directly. Or at least, that's how she should work. I was watching her movement to see if there might be a place I could jump onto her back, but she moves under the airship so quickly that you'd have no chance to actually land on her. I gave up with that plan, played the Sly helps Murray mission, and on my way back to the safehouse as Murray, I was interrupted by being slammed into by a Robot owl rushing at me. She clipped through the level and everything It was terrifying, but I was more amazed by what had just happened to me. It must have been a glitch, but what caused it? How does Clockla's AI work, and how could her pathway be corrupted?
I love that game. That never happened to me. It must've been cool
@@TayR0C I was completely flabbergasted. Clockla wasn’t horsing around this time.
Honestly, I just want to say this but of the many top ten videos on TH-cam, yours are by far the best. I’ve been a fan for a while and always find your videos stick with me whenever I’m thinking of games. Your layout and personality is amazing, no matter what anyone says. Keep doing what you’re doing
6:06 IT'S A CLUBBERFUCK!
Zeldamaniac14 Took me a few seconds to find out what you're referencing. Damn glitch gremlins.
Clicking on this time stamp results in Rabbid saying "The eye watched."
WHAT DID THE EYE WATCH? What are they trying to keep from us?
The all seeing eye of Clubberlang or Clubberfuck.

"I don't expect a lot from my wooden mannequins. Just for them to not be sentient"
The mannequins in Skyrim are freaking creepy. I remember I first found them through a mod that added a huge house.
...Except the modder added in a bit of lore to the house. Apparently, the previous occupant had been plagued by a feeling that he wasn’t alone (despite living alone and pretty secluded), and that someone was watching him. There was a key to a hidden section hidden in the house, and finding it let you unlock a false panel in a wardrobe in the main bedroom....The same one where the previous occupant slept....
Going through there, I came across a small room with chests, an enchanting nexus, and an alchemy station.
....Along with about 5 mannequins that all turned their heads and bodies like actual people.
At that point I noped the hell out of there and burned the place to the ground (set it on fire and deleted the mod).
Looking back, I thought "Maybe it was to show the armor in a more human way, letting you see them with animations and stuff", but I didn’t care, I ain’t going through another Weeping Angels scenario.
I love how you released the video right after midnight(at least on my time zone)
just 10:00pm for us brits
5:00 for me in the u.s.
6:00 for me on the east coast of the US.

Props to you for including that Rachmaninov prelude, I've played that one on the piano and it gave me a bit of nostalgia.
Same; that is quite chill-inducing
Scariest glitch ever: despawning the final key in Luigi’s Mansion.
WHERES THE FUCKIN KEY!?!?!?
Game isn't long enough for it to be THAT scary
How about Top 5 overshadowed games?

Came over from @gametheory @filmtheory !! Nice videos man!!
This one time, back in WoW Classic, (before modern Classic) I got caught in this odd glitch when transporting on a zeppelin from Orgrimmar to the Undercity. I got booted from the game during the loading screen, and when I logged back on... I was in the Stonetalon Mountains... still on the zeppelin... on a zeppelin in a place where they don’t go... and it wasn’t moving and my character couldn’t move either... and the zeppelin itself had glitched so it appeared as if two of them had just run into each other. I was nervous since I couldn’t preform any actions. I was just stuck... possibly forever. Then I logged out and logged back in to find my character lying dead in the water, outside the game boundary. Pretty creepy.
#1 has been explained, actually. In terms of game coding, the mannequins are actually male Nord NPCs with special textures over them to make them appear made of wood. But they're also given special scripts that force them to stand perfectly still and never do anything. Problem being, sometimes those scripts shit the bed, and you end up with this glitch.
I had the Skyrim mannequin glitch happen really early on in the game's life. A couple months after release before I ever heard word of it. Was in Proudspire in Solitude wandering around crafting and moving gear. Up and down the stairs.
At once point I went to my mannequins to put some armor on them, and one was missing. I turned around and the fucker was standing right there motionless. Pretty freaked out, felt fight or flight kick in and I ran so fast up the stairs I'm surprised my boots didn't fly off. Locked myself in the master bedroom and just sat in a corner. After a few minutes I walked out and saw the mannequins walking up the stairs then go motionless.
Turned right around and went back in the room. Not long after, they open the door up and walked in. I freaked out, ran past them and out of the house, and NEVER went back in there on that save. First time a game genuinely had me terrified, and it wasn't even a horror game. Had it happen at Honeyside as well, but it wasn't a both so much then. I believe Honeyside has the largest statistical chance of that glitch happening for some reason
The way you presented "Creepy Watson" made it feel incredibly hilarious.
*gasp*
He changed the intro.
Fucking wooden weeping angels. Screw that shit wheres Pryo and his flamethrower.

The spookiest glitch I've seen was in stardew I walked in the Easter festival and I was softlocked and what ever took I held was directly above like an item but what actually spooked me was holding the axe made it look like had a few pixels above my head
I died in stardew valley
The scariest glitch I have found was in fortnite. I was using a mac and Mac is known at running fortnite, but I had never heard anyone talk about this. I could start to see behind walls and behind people's faces and when I was getting of the bus the ground was textureless and the screen was bright I could hardly see anything and I could see everyone's eyes and teeth behind there face. I ended up deleting it and redownloading it I was playing with my friends when it was happening and I shared my screen with them on Skype they were so confused. I searched up if it had happened to anyone else and I hadn't so that made it even more scary.
5:56 IT'S A CLUBBERFUCK
I recently had a glitch in Fallout 4 where all of the neighbors who freeze to death in Vault 111 come back to life, but are still covered in the creepy ice texture.
Jack of Minds Thats creepy. Ice Zombies!
You missed a good opportunity to call number 8 "Rocky Horror"
MatPat told us to check you out... I'm checking you out... I'm liking what I'm seeing....

Greg Davis: and as the sperm swims towards the egg, I've just ruined this fried breakfast.
Andy Parsons: I am never going to have a fried breakfast again
Fun Fact:
Silent Hills was going to be made glitch on purpose to make it even scarier and have been worked out how to make the glitches really freaky and unique for everyone so even when you see videos on youtube it wouldn't be the same for you.
Thanks a fucking lot Konami.
Thanks for matpat showing that this channel is exist
A part of my brain is telling me not to watch this countdown at nearly one am, when I'm about to go to bed...
When I first saw the walking mannequins on the 360 I had no clue it was a glitch. I was disappointed when I was unable to recruit the Mannequins as a follower. Since getting the ES Anthology and SE of Skyrim I made a Mannequin follower mod for myself.
Speaking of creepiest glitches, how bout that Doki Doki Literature Club? Eh? Eh?
A unique case but still.
ShutUpAdachi it was meant to be that way...
Sonnie Parian woooooooooooossh
@MatPat sent me. You got yourself a new subscriber sir.
The scariest glitches i have come across are the ones where you are jumping or falling and you hit something with a broken collision box and you fall through the world. It makes it scarier (and frankly terrible) when you don't die either.
Dude how could you pass on entry 8 being called Rocky Horror? It’s just too perfect!
Fun fact: the way Watson "moves" in #2 is essentially the same way the Slender Man teleports in his games.
0:34 I love how you showed Funtime Freddy! Having fnaf is always awsome!
Tbh the moving mannequins glitch is probs because they're retextured humans who are meant to stand still.... good job bethesda, between that and the subway car hat and the plant carriers you're really doing a good job with your reuse of NPCs.
How hard is it to just take out the AI for that specific npc? Like for real. Idk much about making video games but I'd assume that removing AI from a specific npc wouldn't be difficult
I feel like the devs could've just reused the models but removed the current ai and replaced it with new ai, or just taken out the part that dictates movement, instead of just adding a few extra lines of code that don't work...
edit: also SURELY somebody caught this in the testing phases before the dlc came out, I refuse to believe this never came up in testing
As someone who does occasionally tamper in martial arts, the bit about "missing the jaw counts as cheating?" was flippin histerical. Also seriously? LIVING MANNEQUINS? Wow, it's almost like Skyrim is taunting me to actually finally play it or something.
Great vid as always William, keep it up you crazy ACTUALLY CANON character!
I remember a long while ago when I used to play around with Modded ES: Oblivion a lot, I got a glitch where some facial mods would collide with each other and create some pretty freaky shit. I was trying to get some new eye textures in game cause I wanted more eye colours to choose from but the problem was it seemed to collide with another mod I had cause when I would start up the game, all characters in the game would have two eye textures overlapping so they had two individual pupils and iris's in the same eye socket, not the best thing to encounter when you are playing Oblivion late at night.
As a game tester, I've had my share of creepy-pasta level glitches. They're some of my favorite kinds of bugs to find
The scariest glitch I've seen is the one where EA announced Visceral Games was being shut down.
What do you mean that actually happened?
Oh...
Well, crap.
I've seen dogs using human and stretchy models on both Sims three and four. Also, adults playing with toddlers on Sims four occasionally dislocate their arms so the toddlers can stay on the floor. That's some dedication.
Rewatching this video, I was reminded of ONE occasion where I was sent in a panicky fit by the same thing you claim really bothers you at the beginning of the number one spot.
Pray tell, Rabbid, I can't remember... have you ever played Terraria?
This prologue at the beginning of this video is one of your best, imo.
A while ago they had fixed the demonic noodle babies on both the sims 3 and 4, apparently one of the things that caused it in the fourth one is if a gallery character had a child with a non gallery character.
Man, your halloween videos are always so good
I’m so glad game theory recommended you
Matpat directed me here, and I'm not disappointed.
Where's Assassin's Creed Unity?
The mannequins in Skyrim glitching occur primarily because they are tagged as NPC's in the game. This tag is why you can put armor on them, but sometimes the code can break and they start to act like NPC's without a behavioural file.
*"The Roots of Fear is simply Danger, yet the Roots of Terror are planted in Oppression."*
Horror is psychological and can be lived with if even enjoyed, but Terror is what grips you by your soul.
Fear can be overcome but to know Oppression isn't a fun nor simple thing, thus why true terror lasts.
;''3
Am I Wrong?
Your games have a case of something that has only been seen once, but spread like digital fire, you have a Game Graphic Glitch Gremlin
dude the Watson “glitch” was fully intentional, the developers were just too lazy to give Watson any walking animation but they still wanted the player to have access to him at all times.
It's actually kind of pathetic when you think about it. They programmed and animated the entire rest of the game (which is definitely harder than a simple walking animation) and then they for some reason were too fucking lazy to just make another animation? Pathetic
That ending bit makes me wonder if RabbidLuigi has played Doki Doki Literature Club.
It's worth noting that the Fourth Day glitch missing NPCs missing can probably be explained.
I'm pretty sure all the missing NPCs (and objects,) are ones that move from day to day, instead of having set patterns.
Once upon a time I blew on my NES cartridge for Megaman 6. Except it wasn't Megaman 6, because I had owned a Jaguar the entire time.
ooooooohhhhh thats terrifiyng
HLD Emperor's theme in the transitions? You have excellent taste.
Fucking hell that Mafia glitch scared me 😂
That moment when the demon baby in The Sims 4 wasn't even caused by mods or custom content, it was caused by using low end hardware. Needless to say when I first saw that while playing The Sims 4 on my old laptop I was creeped out to no end and couldn't believe what I was seeing.
15:14 - Oh yeah, it *was* intented, that's no error, that's a replacement for proper pathfinding :) It's way easier to creepily teleport him behind you than to make him walk around like a reasonable human being.
@@Bronquanacor very late reply but the song that plays through the entire Watson segment is Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C sharp minor.
The reason the mannequins sometimes move in Skyrim is due to them being programmed as a race, that is simply scripted to be frozen. Sometimes when loading in an area that has them, the script that is supposed to freeze them doesn't run and causes them to function as NPCs. If they relocate this is caused by them beginning to move and then stopping in place as their freeze script finally runs, changing their position.
It's worth noting that Bethesda shipped out most of Skyrim's DLC not completely finished, though they fix the more prominent issues later (sometimes).
I hopped onto this channel today because game theory sent me, only to realized that I'm already a subscriber :DD
Sadly I have never found any glitches naturally in any of the games I've played. Hopefully someday I'll find something to scare the crap out of me.
I knew that Dr. Watson's disturbingly accurate Slenderman impersonation make this list. Anybody got some apples? I need to keep this doctor as far away from me as possible.
Funny thing about the Skyrim mannequins! They are technically NPC ENTITIES that are coded to be static shapes. The issues you see there are when there's a wee bit too much script load and the mannequin isn't put into 'statue' mode. I think the unofficial patches fix this to a degree, but I've seen the mannequins on the Northern Cardinal or the armory of the Dragonborn Museum crowd around the entry door when I enter, only to teleport back into position... *shudders*
Because nothing is more scary than having your game bugging.
Frankly, Creepy Watson had to be on here.
the transition looks like when you go to kill a bug and it starts flying at you
I’m skyrim’s hearthfire dlc there’s another glitch where bandits abduct your spouse and you have to rescue them.
When you get there, they’re gone.
Go back to your house, and they’re back, but never the same. Weird animations, completely broken pathfinding, random dialogue. Damn... what did those bandits do?
6:18 Oh boy, Rabid Luigi's Sex Ed Class is Truly Educational
The only glitch i've experienced that horrified me was in assassins creed 3 multiplayer (ps3 version only and came up randomly during its last few months before ac4). Where suddenly the screen froze then went black and all you hear is screeching and exploding noises at the highest volume possible, that honestly makes you feel like your ps3 is ready to blow at any minute. Scared the crap out of me and my friends whenever they got it.
That same thing happened to me once while playing the Heavy Rain demo. I'm not sure if it's a bug in the game itself or an OS or hardware failure.
(If too long, then don't read.) 5:40 regarding the causes of strange glitches...
Large programming projects are about as difficult as designing an entire virtual society made up of workers who don't have brains. I wrote a short story to illustrate how a single worker's failure can threaten the fate of the whole society, be countered with serious precautions, and produce an outcome that looks random and broken, but is infinitely better than the alternatives.
Premise:
*President asks for a picture with ducks, and when he gets it back, the ducks have no feathers.*
Story:
1. The president asks the vice president for a picture of a pond with ducks.
2. The vice president asks the museum director how many feathers are on a duck, and a thousand other questions.
3. The museum director answers some things from memory and books, but asks the head of biology how many feathers are on a duck. The head of biology asks the duck specialist, who asks his assistant.
4. The assistant to the duck specialist tries to count the feathers on a duck, but the duck is actually venomous, and it bites him. He says to the duck specialist, "I've been poisoned!! OH! it burns!! Everything is going dark. Tell my wife that I..."
5. This response isn't the actual number of feathers on the duck, but his assistant has never made a mistake before, so the duck specialist faithfully emails his assistant's words to the head of biology.
6. The head of biology starts talking to the museum director, saying "The number you requested is ", and as he talks, he opens the email from the duck specialist. It starts out "I've been poisoned!!" and doesn't have a number in it, but he already promised the museum director he would say a number! He must respond, and can't do anything else. Faced with this situation, the head of biology dies instantly.
7. Now the museum director now knows that the number is "". But he notices that something is wrong! The museum director is explicitly trained to never give the vice president a null value in his response book, so he just uses the number zero, even though it's probably not the number that the vice president wanted. He doesn't have time or resources to do anything else - the head of biology is the only worker he knows to ask. He writes 0, and also gives correct answers to the other thousand questions that the vice president asked.
8. The vice president finished drawing a pond filled with ducks having zero feathers each.
9. The president is satisfied.
-----
This may all seem like it's a stupid system, but if you need to design an entire society containing millions of interdependent workers who don't know anything except their own job description, the best thing you can do is instruct the low-profile workers in a way that looks like it will almost never fail, and then instruct the high-profile workers so that they can work through any imaginable failure of workers in the positions just below them.
Training every worker to be infallible is not possible, which is why some workers had no training on what to do. But one of them had enough training to insert a fake but _safe_ value, and by doing so, they were able to stop a chain-reaction of instant death from reaching the president and even get most of the important work done. So the glitches we see here, especially in contorted player models, are good things, in a way - they might mean that a catastrophic failure (crash) was avoided by some code ad-libbing its lines in a moment of crisis.
Good job, programmers. Just like airline pilots aren't supposed to touch down uber-softly and actually get the more applause for what are technically worse landings, nobody actually congratulates programmers for the smartest things they do, because nobody understands their jobs. I don't even understand it, and I'm a programmer.
The patch for Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare put a game breaking glitch INTO the game. The zombies would randomly lose their heads and become unkillable (pretty terrifying and effective for a zombie DLC) and this would halt all mission progression forcing a hard reset to get things back to normal.......until 20 minutes later when it happened again, and again, and again.
imo, the Fourth Day glitch is the creepiest of them all.
First of all, it implies that everybody's (most likely) dead. They're gone, but it's not like they could've ran off somewhere.
The second thing is that it can only happen *if the player wills it to happen*. You killed those people. It's eerie.
Where is the clip used behind each number on the countdown from?
"You remember Hearthfire, right?"
Oh........oh no......it's that one......
The moving mannequins is because they use a similar model to NPCs with their AI turned off, the ones in Honeyside sometimes have problems with their AI staying off; it usually only happens when the player is not there, but I have had them follow me before.
I have a countdown suggestion: Top 5 "Cinematic" Boss Battles.
Not anticlimactic "boss fights" where the big bad gets killed in a cutscene instead of gameplay. I mean interactive confrontations against an enemy that's played out more in a cinematic and nuanced fashion.
The fight might be very simple and easy (sometimes impossible to lose), but character performances, atmosphere, design, and cinematography COMBINED with player interaction make the scene almost, if not *just* as tense as a traditional boss fight would.
Examples:
Batman vs Joker (in either Arkham Origins or Arkham Knight)
Connor vs. Haytham Kenway (Assassin's Creed III)
Soap and Price vs. General Shepherd (Modern Warfare 2)
Naked Snake vs. Young Ocelot in the WiG (Metal Gear Solid 3)
Samus and the Baby Metroid vs. Mother Brain (Super Metroid)
Ellie vs. David (The Last of Us)
Beast Ganon (Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)
Nathan Drake vs. Rafe Adler (Uncharted 4)
...Admittedly, some of these are more like actual "boss fights" than others. I just wanted to list some examples that I feel fit that definition.
Part of me wishes the Rabbidluigi from the intro will become a recurring character in Rabbid's videos.
The other part of me thinks I've been watching too much Markiplier recently.
Fun fact:the explanation behind the sentient mannequin glitch is because mannequins have almost the exact same code as a nord npc
Hello, could you tell me what's that music name starts at 13:58?
When you greet us with black eyes, and say, "Things aren't what they seem". Not going to lie that scared the deal out of me the first time I saw it.
I know this list is half a year old but there was a glitch in Kingdom Come Deliverance where a corpse would shift to the "standing with arms spread" stance. I saw a video of this happening to the huge corpse pile at the start of the game and I froze in terror.
The scariest part of this video is the intro not being able to finish.
PapaLuigi is such a handsome boi
TJ that’s mama Luigi to you.
