No that would have almost certainly scared me had I played it as a child. Totally understandable. I used to play that same PC Spiderman game that he mentioned earlier in the video and if you fell, he would scream similarly and I remember finding that really scary.
I honestly felt like when it came up on my screen it honestly felt like I had blacked out and woke up hearing Jigsaw's voice over the TV and suddenly I'mma die tonight and in a very horrible graphic and slow and painful way and no one will ever find my body remains. Past child me was like *scrambles under the bed sheets praying to God I don't wanna be taken so soon
I know what it feels like to have been scared of some really dumb things when you were a kid, and for me it's not only in video games, but as far as games go... - That orange screen on the PS2 when you put in a disc that's bad or from a different region. - That giant eel from New Super Mario Bros. - The graphics in Guitar Hero 1 and 2. Yes, really. - Very obscure memory time: I briefly had a Finding Nemo GBA game and remember failing a bonus game gave you a dramatic fail jingle that spooked me, but I only came across it once. Funny enough, I remember nothing of the rest of the game.
First time playing, I was scared of the first area where you learn how to fly. Mainly because it was dark and I wasn't paying attention, so I was trapped.
Man, I was TERRIFIED of Forever Forest from Paper Mario. You go in, there's glowy eyes in old tree trunks, flowers laugh at you, and a big cheshire grin tell you how to get to the mansion. Despite this, the Forever Forest is also probably one of my favorite video game levels, along with the rest of the third chapter of that game. Loving the spoopiness.
scared of ps2 disc not read screen. I was 6 and hot dragonball final bout, the Japanese import from a game store. I put it in and it started the AWOOOOAAUUH Sound it makes when the screen went red. it said it was the wrong region.
You're gonna laugh, but I got scared by the Tweenies growing up I was watching it with my dad (poor soul, i'm so sorry for putting you through that, dad) and he suddenly points at the screen and says "Do you see the people inside their mouths, Rach?", I stared at him and he said "Yeah there's people inside of them." so I convinced the Tweenies ATE PEOPLE
When I was a little kid, I was always terrified of the PlayStation boot up. Every. Single. Time I got to play my favorite console, I needed to go through purgatory. Oh yeah. And the Ghost Town level from Bugs and Taz Timebusters...
Hina Face I actually was super terrified of this too but I'd sit there and act casual like I didn't notice it or find a reason to leave for that like 10 second interval haha. Glad I wasn't the only one!
Oh my god...Clone is terrifying! The scariest thing for me as a kid was.... *gulp* ...here goes...Rugrats: Search for Reptar. The music in the sewers and the Ghost mission...yep. That's mine...I'll be off now.
When I was a kid, I was terrified by the PS2 boot up screen, especially when there's no disc inserted and it takes you to that little menu with that swirly circle thingy. I don't really know why it scared me, it just did
When my older brother was a little kid, he used to play Ecco the Dolphin a lot, and there was this one enemy (i forgot which one) which made him really scared. To calm down he would run into the bathroom and flush the toilet. My brother was a nut.
Wow I remember that Clone. The sound of them being shot brought it back. The only well those games I really remember was an adventuring game where you had to kill birds because they were terrorizing the land and people were afraid to leave town because of them. I remember the ending. You got to this little hut, spoke to this lady and she said that she'd put the birds to bed earlier :/ so yes the birds terrorize the landscape making all the locals terrified and their punishment was a slapped wrist and an earlier bed time.
3 things that used to scare me as a kid the most: 1. Chucky from Child's Play 2. Robot Chicken intro 3. That creepy moon face from Courage the Cowardly Dog
Lol totally. One time my Gamecube overheated while I was playing and I didn't dare touch Animal Crossing for God knows how long because I just couldn't face him. He's still one of my favorite characters, though. Like looking back on it now his dialogue is fucking hilarious.
penguinthepurple When they were playtesting the game, they noticed that everyone would constantly reset to get different stuff in the shops. That kinda defeats the purpose of it being a real-time game, where you have to play it as it is from day to day (yes, you can time travel, but that takes much longer to do and causes weeds and stuff). And so Resetti was born.
I used to be really afraid of Ocarina of Time. The dungeons, the nighttime, and the Redeads would terrify me. But I couldn't stop playing it because it was just so amazing.
Nougatocity6 Actually, that's kind of reasonable. I mean, the game has a bloodstained slug-like white brain-eating monster that attempts to bite your head off in a room made of the skulls of his previous victims.
As soon as I learned the Sun's Song I'd compulsively play it whenever it got dark. I guess being afraid of the game is justifiable, but when I play it now I laugh at the fact I was so easily scared by these rough polygon… things.
I always hear hates about Big the Cat in Sonic Adventure, but never heard of being afraid of him. Anyways the Criterion logo in Burnout 3 used to scare me.
When I was young I didn't own my own games console for a long time. My earliest memories of gaming were on my father's old computer, specifically command and conquer red alert and the tomb raider games. No problem with the former but, sweet gods of Olympus, the latter I frequently found terrifying. Mostly it was when all would be quiet, then suddenly an enemy would come charging in from the absurdly near blackness of a short draw distance. Or a massive statue would come alive and shred me with giant swords. I would frequently die And so end up redoing fights, i would often find myself pausing the game for 5 minutes to convince myself to enter the chamber or area. The moment that sticks in my mind most though is the appearance of the tyranasaur in TR 1 and 3, namely the one that charges at you down the lost valley almost as soon as you arrive and the one that attacks you when you retrieve the captain's key from its nest. Just the screen shake, music and their sheer size in relation to me when all I really knew how to do was stand and shoot. . .well you can see where I'm coming from.
Keyaku oh gods I forgot about the boulders! "oh a long incline? Must be something important at the top" *screen shakes and deathly rumbling noises as boulder comes hurtling down slope* "ahh! What do I do?" *fingers fumble madly on keyboard only to have Lara ground to a fine paste on the chamber floor. I promptly have to go and drink a vast quantity of tea* yes, I remember the boulders being terrifying when I was 6 too.
First console ps1, first two games I played was spyro 2 and crash bandicoot 1, first thing that scared me was probably a creepy robot gorilla Ina rug rays game that would "kill you" if he found you.
@@ASLB247It was from an episode of Bo Selecta. A British comedy show where the host dresses up as celebrities to prank people. Aside from Michael Jackson, his disguise of John Lennon was another one.
I don't know why, but the noises of the crocs when they walked around from Donkey Kong Country actually scared me a bit when I played that game. Not sure why really. o - o
I was scared by the DUMBEST thing ever. The Majora's Mask moon.... IN MELEE TROPHY FORM! I immediately turned off SSBM after I got the trophy from the LOTTERY!
I remember I was scared of Animal Crossing :1 The game glitched and the music started to Screech. I also used to be afraid of the Sims when my house got robbed. Yet I was able to play Left For Dead... I was a weird kid.
so what if I'm Fkn crazy bro If that was creepy, you should have seen that cutseen where the fusesd shadows were explain, I will never forget Links face
As a kid I was very, very heavily scared by those Zelda: The Wind Waker enemies that look like pineapples that fly towards you with this one staring, horrifying eye. Didn't their eyes shift colors the whole time or something? Those enemies were the reason I never finished Wind Waker on my own since you have to go on the island they're around for a triangle shard I think. Oh also in Twilight Princess I found those lava worms (with only one staring eye that is surrounded by claws/teeth) disturbing as the boss in the dungeon they were in if I remember correctly. Twilight Princess was one hell of disturbing game if you just recapitulate the characters, the story and things happening and the overall very, very unsettling world. I think the sound track and design played a huge part on that. Just compare it to the mostly adventureous music in Wind Waker.
I don't cry but it might be able to bring some tear into my eye. Tears of joy. That game is one of the greatest I've played in my life. Ohh, the music is fantastic!
Anyone ever heard of the game PokePark? Well, I played it when I was 7, and it took me a month. A literal MONTH to get myself into that haunted mansion... Also. 12:13
I can sort of relate, even though it was the pyramid section of the golf level in that game. I would NEVER go back in that pyramid after my first encounter with the mummy toy thing that was inside.
i have other Things i was Scared of when i was a kid... Crash Bandicoot 2 Chase Levels (I was SUPER Scared of the Friggin' Boulder Chase Scenes!!) THX (ALL OF THEM, EVEN THE TEX ONE. OH TEX USED TO MAKE ME CRAP MY PANTS. AND EVEN THX CERTIFIED FRIGGIN' GAME.) Cacodemons in DOOM (PSX) (mainly their Hisses and Death Sound Lol) Gex: Enter the Gecko (ARE THESE GIANT FREAKING COCONUTS FALLING FROM ABOVE!?) PlayStation 2's Red Screen of Death... (Of Course...Lol)
+David lechevalier You know, "Please Insert a PlayStation or a PlayStation 2 Format Disc". With the Horrifying Music. This was also Called a Nightmare Logo by Wikis such as CLG Wiki.
I was playing plants vs zombies for The NINTENDO DS one night, And I was playing the Dr zomboss's revenge minigame and I Almost had it beat, looked away for a moment, Came back, saw three GARGANTUARS and lost it. I probably silently screamed for like a minute. It was more funny than scary.
I'm still scared of that. The small cube floating in the endless void, the haunting music.. I always pop in a disc before even THINKING of starting up the console.
The only game I remember scaring me as a kid was the part in the Chamber of Secrets game where you had to sneak around the guy in the Magical Menagerie. Something about the gloomy atmosphere, the guys voice and the anticipation of being caught was really scary for me as a kid.
Lager200 I always found the Dungeons in PS1 Philosopher's Stone pretty spooky, especially when running into Snape for the first time. That darker lighting behind him just made him really intimidating. Not to mention he was the first adult character in the game that wasn't friendly, so his height in comparison to Harry made it worse.
The enemies in Ecco the Dolphin PS2. I loved the first level so much but then you get to the sharks and combined with the timer/breath meter I was scared enough to stop playing.
+Adam McKibben (Assuming you're talking about the room with Luigi's shadow on the wall) there's nothing really to be afraid of. The reason the shadow is on wall is because of the angle that the light is coming from. For whatever reason the light is coming from below Luigi, causing the shadow to look like its floating up on the wall (since the level geometry doesn't cast shadows).
The part with the trolls in the first Harry Potter game on the PS 1. I was around seven at the time and I was so scarred that the moment I saw them, I turned it off and never played it again. (Because my dad broke the PS in rage when a game didn't work a few months later :( )
oh caddy, you silly person you, I couldn't guess ANY of the things in this list..... but the #1 is the most unexpected and unpredictable so.... you got me there.
In Jak 3, if you swim too far into the ocean a giant tentacle grabs you and it scared me so bad when I was a kid that I was afraid to even go near any water in the game. I'm still reluctant to go in water in games and feel super anxious when I have to
Dane Tucker How could I forget about Myst!!! When I first got that game many years ago, I was never able to play it because I was afraid of everything in it!
Yes! I've tried playing it as a child, but I could never get past the first few screens, because I was terrified of it. Even by now I don't remember anything about this game, except the overwhelming feeling of dread it used to fill me with. I don't even remember why it scared me so much.
The fucking ghosts from Sonic Adventure 2. They were the cheapest fucking jump scare tactic, and damn they worked. I shit you not, I didn't even get past Pumpkin Hill until after I had beaten the entirety of the Dark Story. Rouge had one pyramid level with ghosts, but that was literally it. Going from Pumpkin Hill to Aquatic Mine to Death Chamber took its toll on me as a kid, I always exited the level everytime I got scared. MAN I was pathetic.
Ugg, me too. It was even worse for me, whenever I came in contact with a Boom Boo in the Death Chamber level I literally turned the console off because I was so scared :(
Rogue had that fucking giant robot beetle and that scared me. I love SA2 but I hate that I'm too much of a chicken shit to get past those levels. Fucking ghosts and beetle for Knuckles and Rogue xP
My top 5 scary gaming things as a kid:5: The music in the car select screen in Gran Turismo 1's arcade mode.4: The PS1 Startup3: The screams when a wrestler gets hit in Acclaim's WWF games. Still terrified of that, actually, and I'm 17. That's why I'll only touch the wrestling games from THQ-era and onward.2: The title screen from Real Pool for PS2. (This is a really stupid one)1: PS2 Red Screen of Death.Other, non-gaming related childhood scares:5: The sound of a tape deck "eating" the audiocassette4: Face (from Nick Jr.)3: The "Feature Presentation" screen from most Paramount VHS tapes (especially the Nickelodeon ones)2: The Klasky-Csupo logo1: "Wormy" (SpongeBob SquarePants episode, Season 2)bonus mention: That Goosebumps episode with the sponge. Other bonus mention: Bear in the Big Blue House.
When I saw the Spiderman thing I could have sworn it was going to be Monster Ock from the Spiderman game on the PS1. That for me was the most terrifying thing as a kid - fucking scary stuff. Look it up if you have to. I played that mission when I was 8. I never looked at the game the same.
Same here, I used to shit myself when I got stuck to the wall and started climbing and everytime you got a good distance from him, he sped up. Definitely an awesome ending to a amazing game ;)
When I saw that it was the 1st Spiderman movie tie in game, I assumed the thing that scared him was getting a game over. The music that plays when that happens is fucking depressing.
I was always afraid of loud intros. Seriously. I wasn't afraid of watching robot chicken, I wasn't afraid of Tim Burton, but I was scared of FREAKING LOUD ASS INTROS
Random fears I had in games (not exclusively childhood ones, mind you): Mario 64 Piano ReDeads Final Boss in Spiderman (N64) Sonic Adventure 2 Ghosts Andross Regenerators from RE4 (Dear God, Regenerators. And the noises they made?) Whoever does the voice of Ratman from Portal (Ghost of Rattmann and that random occurrence of him rambling, all while in a dank, schizophrenic madhouse? All alone? No!) Big, unrealistic smiles Boos, and that one ceiling ghost from Luigi's Mansion (Again, with the smiles) Silent Hill (Take your pick, from 1 to The Room) Baby Bowser in Yoshi's Island The one-eyed monsters from Doom Anyone else agree?
The level in Ice Age 2 where you played as Scrat and you had to travel inside the body of a sea monster... That shit fucking psychologically traumatized me as a child o.o
I was scared of a lot of stupid shit in games when I was a kid. Even though I was too young to play it or fully understand it, I really liked Fable II, but I was absolutely horrified in the Wellspring cave with the Hollow Men. It's also why I almost NEVER go to Wraithmarsh in game. And another thing was in the super happy Super Mario Sunshine game, with the weird spiky orange things that hid in flowers and sang. I was afraid of their song and their happy faces as they came hurdling towards me. The trees from the Spooky Forest in Shrek 2 and lastly, Dastardos from Viva Piñata. I HATED his song and how he fucking smashed my Piñatas, the prick. This was an unintentionally long comment.
+Wonderful Magica No, those are pretty justified, you're not stupid by being scared by them. Unless you were also scared of the shadow beasts (more specifically, their scream) in Twilight Princess like I was. Then you're stupid.
Tico The Nicaea Navigator Aw, thank you. No, don't worry, the shadow beasts seem pretty justified to me. I always thought they were pretty freaky myself.
I was really scared of this mediocre Scooby-Doo GBA game. I don't remember what its called but I remember it was really hard and it began to scare me to the point that I intentionally lost it so i couldn't play it.
PS1 Doom scared me a lot. Also a bit more unusual: magic carpet. The whole ambiance of the game was quite unsettling for me as a kid. I remember Clone but it wasnt that scary to me. I do miss those demo disc days. I remember how excited i got when the local store had a new official uk playstation mag+demo on sale (i live in the netherlands).
PS1 and old games in general must be cursed to be scarier than new gen games. Even that Mr. Domino game scared me so bad as a kid, I could hardly ever play it.
I got to that part when I brought my GameCube upstairs to a bigger tv and it actually made my whole family scream when they decided to glance at what I was playing xD
+Stefano Wohsdioghasdhisdg The Shadow Temple was a joke. You are right about the Bottom of the Well though. Playing as a child is scarier than as an adult.
I was completely fine with the shadow temple and beneath the well but the music of the forest temple just gave me the creeps as a kid. Other than that nothing in ocarina of time scared me.
In no particular order, here are just a few things from games that scared me as a kid: - That huge great white shark in the second level of Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future (honestly this one still does kind of put me on edge) - The game over screen from Crash Bandicoot 2 - The music in the level 'Sabor Attacks' in Disney's Tarzan - Having to battle the lizard-man......THINGS on the subway train level in Spider-Man for the PS1 - The symbiotes, also from Spider-Man on the PS1 - Searching for the kitten stuck down the well in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (PS1) - The 'Mad Doctor' level in Mickey's Wild Adventure (Mickey Mania in the US) - The boss fight against Thumper in A Bug's Life on PS1
For me, 10 to 12 years ago, I used to play a bunch of games on the Sky features, when you pressed the red button on the remote. Does anyone remember this game? It was in a maze with mummies. I just found it tense.
When i was around 15, i eneded up not being scared of much, but I eneded up having a nightmare about being trapped in a glitched game. I think it was me being stuck in cheetahmen 2 or something. I don't know why, but that was the only nightmare that ever afftected me as a kid. Well apart from when I watched Titanic at around 6 and had nightmares of being stuck on it and ending up drowning. I still can't watch that bloody film and I'm almost 19
As a child, I remember being scared of the Bush Ninjas from Pitfall: The Lost Expedition. The way they slowly creep towards you is a bit unnerving. It's especially creepy when you're inside that turtle-shaped temple. That area is a bit dark and you can hear the sounds of the bushes rustling.
Am I the only one who was TERRIFIED of the drowning music from the classic sonic games as a kid? Even to this day, I die inside whenever I get to one of those levels.
Labyrinth Zone is the reason I fear all Water Levels and any level where you have some sort of Oxygen meter or timer in video games... Sure Sonic 2 was a bit fairer on the water levels and Sonic 3's Hydrocity is very upbeat and has the bubble shield, and both of them you move faster in the water than in sonic 1, as well as bubbles being pattern based rather than truly random, but I will never shake off that fear of being stuck in a water segment and drowning...
Vivian Sutton you know what's the oddest thing about a sonic game that scared me? One of the secret sound test screens in sonic cd. Not the infamous "fun is infinite" screen mind you, but the BATMAN PARODY SCREEN. mostly because of the eerily realistic looking batman/sonic and his tiny eyes that stare into your soul...i remember the first time I saw that it not only scared me from viewing any more pictures up to that point (that's actually what kept me from seeing the "fun is infinite" screen until about a year or two ago), but it actually scared me from sound test secrets in general for a while. I've gotten over it of course and the image is actually pretty funny to me now, but I remember it being one of the strangest things frightened me in my youth.
You know what gave me nightmares as a tiny theropod? Because it was really specific, so get ready. This thing happens to be in Donkey King 64. Was it one the bosses? Nope. One of the enemies? Nada. The entity that haunted my dreams as a hatchling was that stupid totem pole character in Angry Aztec. Why? I have forgotten. But maybe it's because of it's large eyes and big, toothy grin always gazing at me when I was in the general vicinity. I never truly finished Angry Aztec because of that cursed totem pole. Always watching me.
The crypt in the Creepy Castle level terrified me. Something about the music combined with the unnerving textures on the walls and that freaky, terrifying... mine cart ride...
Thank you so much for bringing up what was apparently a suppressed memory from my childhood playing Clone on a demo disc. Odd thing is I can actually remember playing it way more than 1 time.... and I seriously don't even know why...
There was a level in Spiderman for PS1 based in a bank that sometimes when you'd climb on the ceiling would make a sudden noise and the music would slightly change from what I remember and that used to scare 7 year old me
Daniel Webber I couldn't resist skipping the video to the number one because after I saw the little clip between number 8 and 7 I was pretty sure it had something to do with Spyro (I thought the suit was a hint) but nope no spyro)
- Seeing Mario being poisoned in Mario 64's Hazy Maze cave. - BLOOD in House of the Dead arcade. - Robot sharks in Spyro 2. - Death animation in The Lion King and The Jungle Book, PC. - Bad ending and the ass-kicking skeleton in Lego Island.
Reionder It's something about the way the sound and audio loops happen. I can't quite pinpoint it, but when I was alone and a horrible DVD menu was in front of me, I can't stay there for long. If my memory serves me right, the scariest DVD menu to me was the menu for Mr. And Ms. Smith. (that one movie with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie).
Omg yes. I have found my people. The worst one for me was the tarzan menu theme. The way disney tarzan screams at the end of the short jungle loop was absolutely bone chilling for me as a child. I was up all night with my back facing the TV when we rented it.
Reionder When I was little I saw this one screamer where you look at a picture of a room and try to spot a ghost and then a face pops up and screams at you. It was scary enough on its own but for some reason it looped and I was too scared to look at the screen to turn it off. Instead it ended in me sitting there with my eyes shut plugging my ears while the computer screamed at me every 10 or so seconds. From then on, I had an irrational fear of screens with stationary pictures on them, including being off. Probably the absolute worst DVD menu for me was the first Harry Potter menu because it let you roam the halls of Hogwarts with your remote, which just led to lots of stationary, non-moving, silent images of rooms, similar to that of the screamer room that scared me. I also got scared of the repeating, with sound, DVD menus, perhaps for somewhat the same reason but I think it's a little bit different. It was partly, as machinimamarlon said, the whole repeating thing.
weebMV Michael the Magician I saw both the Tarzan and Harry Potter DVD menus, and I can vouch that they were scary as all hell. And Michael the Magician, after my first screamer I always pause the TH-cam video and check the comments first.
Not necessarily in order #1 Myst, just.. the entire game #2 The first appearance of the Flood in Halo #3 The mission in Halo 3 where you rescue Cortana #4 Advanced Zerg units and Protoss Structures in SC (specifically on the N64) they were spooky looking #5 A really strange event when me and my sister where playing Dynasty Warriors 6 where she took a picture of Liu Bei on a horse, and instead the photo showed a bright yellow glowing spot in Liu Bei's place #6 The mirror part in Amy's first level in Sonic Adventure 1 #7 Kvatch in Oblivion, just.... Kvatch.. #8 Aquatos sewers in Ratchet and Clank 3 #9 Aquatic Mine in Sonic Adventure 2, that whole level was fucking spooky. #10 any game where it's broad daylight but you are the only character present, it's eerie as fuck.
Me and my brother were horrified of yoshi's story. Why? What happened when you lost a yoshi. You know, when the toadies carry the yoshi to baby Bowser's castle. Maybe it was the fact it was so dark and gloomy, the toadies looked disturbing to us (looking like they're mad) and the yoshi crying as it was carried to the castle. My brother even had a nightmare about after getting in the castle the yoshi was brutally murdered.
Also, what even is that monster thingy that keeps saying shmeckels?! An old woman? A mutant? A mutant old woman exposed to horrible amounts of radiation? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!
#1 for me.....was Piglet's Big Game - PS2.....Yeah...Piglet from Winnie The Pooh, that game gave me the heeby jeebies from the creepy door yu have to scare, the huffalumps and woozles, the terrifying atmosphere, the faces you pull, the sneaking, and most of all, the terrifying last stage.......you fight a nightmare monster...literally....

That Kurushi fall isn't stupid, actually. I can definitely see why you were scared of it. I mean, JEEBUS. You can hear the terror in his voice.
Also, the thing that scared me the most as a kid? The boss fights in Dynamite Heady. That weird cat ragdoll thing....
That #1 though.... :'(((
The Piano with teeth jump scare in Mario 64
Blue Fire Mario ditto
No that would have almost certainly scared me had I played it as a child. Totally understandable. I used to play that same PC Spiderman game that he mentioned earlier in the video and if you fell, he would scream similarly and I remember finding that really scary.
The drowning music in the Sonic games.
That fucking drowning music...
Funny thing is, I never got scared by it, I think its a bop.
Yea they had no reason to make it that anxiety inducing. That sucked lmao
Eh oo eh ooh ah oo ah oo
@@sophiebubbles07 **bloop*Boop**
Do you remember that "Game cannot be read" screen from PS2? Yeah. I'm still scared by that shit. I'm an adult at twenty-one years old.
i hate that fucking screen. why is it so fucking scary
I dont blame you
How is being 26 treating you?
Happy 27th!
I honestly felt like when it came up on my screen it honestly felt like I had blacked out and woke up hearing Jigsaw's voice over the TV and suddenly I'mma die tonight and in a very horrible graphic and slow and painful way and no one will ever find my body remains. Past child me was like *scrambles under the bed sheets praying to God I don't wanna be taken so soon
fun fact: kurushi is pronounced almost exactly the same as kurushii, a japanese word that means "it hurts." :^D
No way well I mean it makes sense because of the death screen
Emerald Animation
yeah
That is terrifying
"Hey, cool hat!"
I know what it feels like to have been scared of some really dumb things when you were a kid, and for me it's not only in video games, but as far as games go...
- That orange screen on the PS2 when you put in a disc that's bad or from a different region.
- That giant eel from New Super Mario Bros.
- The graphics in Guitar Hero 1 and 2. Yes, really.
- Very obscure memory time: I briefly had a Finding Nemo GBA game and remember failing a bonus game gave you a dramatic fail jingle that spooked me, but I only came across it once. Funny enough, I remember nothing of the rest of the game.
BennyPlayer
Well, one thing that I find really scary is your current profile picture.
@@emstink Me too! I wonder if it's still around cause I haven't played it in ages.
So in Lego Marvel Superheroes 1, the transformation of little Venom to bigfig Venom was horrifying.
Thank you so much for mentioning that first one! I thought I was the only one scared of that screen 😂
Uka Uka from Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped terrified me when I was 5. I was easily scared by dark, shadowy figures with deep voices.
+Nicholas Miracle omg yes me too
yep
Nicholas Miracle Even nice and friendly dark, shadowy figures with red eyes and deep voices?
Cody Hines Yep.
Nicholas Miracle Me too!! Uka Uka terrified me.
I was scared of the noises the swords made in WII SPORTS RESORT. I was 10
This comment made my day
😑
Here sir, hold this L.
XD
Just.... How?
Those goddamn aliens in Majora's Mask. The music, the designs, it terrified me.
First time playing, I was scared of the first area where you learn how to fly. Mainly because it was dark and I wasn't paying attention, so I was trapped.
tbh the whole game is creepy.
Redeads are creepiest
Those aliens are based on the flatwoods monster
Not really game related, but as a kid I was always terrified by the CGI scenes in the Teletubbies.
To be honest, that's completely understandable. Even today.
the sun still scares me
I was scared of that freaking windmill
Try the freaking lion close up
I was scared by that vacuum cleaner
Man, I was TERRIFIED of Forever Forest from Paper Mario. You go in, there's glowy eyes in old tree trunks, flowers laugh at you, and a big cheshire grin tell you how to get to the mansion. Despite this, the Forever Forest is also probably one of my favorite video game levels, along with the rest of the third chapter of that game. Loving the spoopiness.
Heh, dry dry ruins and the sewers were a bit creepy to me.
Believe me, Forever Forest terrified me too. That was my biggest pick too. That shit was just too much for me, and I wasn't even that young.
Girm Mac Neil What is it with forests and childhood fears? 'Specially the ones in video games.
For me it's those "game disc could not be read" screens just cause it's so sudden and then you hear no sounds...
YES YES SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME THOSE SCREENS ARE FUCKING TERRIFYING
scared of ps2 disc not read screen. I was 6 and hot dragonball final bout, the Japanese import from a game store. I put it in and it started the AWOOOOAAUUH Sound it makes when the screen went red. it said it was the wrong region.
I agree the ps2 disc not read is really creepy.
As a kid I got scared of the turkeys in the south park game for ps1, the sound they made still haunt my dreams to this day.

You're gonna laugh, but I got scared by the Tweenies growing up
I was watching it with my dad (poor soul, i'm so sorry for putting you through that, dad) and he suddenly points at the screen and says "Do you see the people inside their mouths, Rach?", I stared at him and he said "Yeah there's people inside of them." so I convinced the Tweenies ATE PEOPLE
When I was a little kid, I was always terrified of the PlayStation boot up.
Every. Single. Time I got to play my favorite console, I needed to go through purgatory.
Oh yeah. And the Ghost Town level from Bugs and Taz Timebusters...
Some of the games from Disc 1 Demo are a honorable mention.
...Especially the T - Rex model...
*shivers*
Hina Face Agreed. I never really got scared by it but it always gave me an unsettling feeling.
I had a ps2 when I was a wee babbie and I feel your pain that used to terrify me
Hina Face I know, it's SKEEEEDIIIIII
Hina Face I actually was super terrified of this too but I'd sit there and act casual like I didn't notice it or find a reason to leave for that like 10 second interval haha. Glad I wasn't the only one!
Oh my god...Clone is terrifying! The scariest thing for me as a kid was.... *gulp* ...here goes...Rugrats: Search for Reptar. The music in the sewers and the Ghost mission...yep. That's mine...I'll be off now.
teal... really
Oh my god! I HATED THAT GHOST MISSION!! Screw those ghosts!
Samuel Martinez ... dammit sam
Fox/ Robin / Gear Yes, really! It was supremely creepy as a kid.
Samuel Martinez were did u go?
When I was a kid, I was terrified by the PS2 boot up screen, especially when there's no disc inserted and it takes you to that little menu with that swirly circle thingy. I don't really know why it scared me, it just did
9:16 this is why I love caddy.
When my older brother was a little kid, he used to play Ecco the Dolphin a lot, and there was this one enemy (i forgot which one) which made him really scared. To calm down he would run into the bathroom and flush the toilet. My brother was a nut.
DimensionPizza This made me laugh a lot harder than it should had
Well then there is the creepy faces in Gameboy Camera...
not_trevor W H O A R E Y O U R U N N I N G F R O M
Same
@@James-qk9ql Better question: why'd that guy look like a Japanese rock star?
Wow I remember that Clone. The sound of them being shot brought it back. The only well those games I really remember was an adventuring game where you had to kill birds because they were terrorizing the land and people were afraid to leave town because of them. I remember the ending. You got to this little hut, spoke to this lady and she said that she'd put the birds to bed earlier :/ so yes the birds terrorize the landscape making all the locals terrified and their punishment was a slapped wrist and an earlier bed time.
3 things that used to scare me as a kid the most:
1. Chucky from Child's Play
2. Robot Chicken intro
3. That creepy moon face from Courage the Cowardly Dog
Robot Chicken? Why?
ZakkyBhoy - Gaming, Reviews And More i was a kid... for me, the music was unsettling
ZakkyBhoy I think it's because of the mad scientist and his creepy smile, and the dark-ish lab.
Chucky from Child's Play is scary but f*cking awesome! Him and his son Glen will always be my fav horror characters!
Robot Chicken still gives me nightmares. I think it's the animation style.
If I had played #1 when I was a kid that would be pure nightmare fuel.
Resetti from Animal Crossing. Just the thought of some groundhog who broke the 4th wall and always knew whenever I reset my game terrified me.
Lol totally. One time my Gamecube overheated while I was playing and I didn't dare touch Animal Crossing for God knows how long because I just couldn't face him. He's still one of my favorite characters, though. Like looking back on it now his dialogue is fucking hilarious.
Chloe Bonario Ugh, I remember that. I don't know what Nintendo were thinking...
penguinthepurple When they were playtesting the game, they noticed that everyone would constantly reset to get different stuff in the shops. That kinda defeats the purpose of it being a real-time game, where you have to play it as it is from day to day (yes, you can time travel, but that takes much longer to do and causes weeds and stuff). And so Resetti was born.
chg25425 Ahh! That makes sense. Still, no need to make him so aggressive. I was legit scared he was gonna do something to my save file.
nIGHTMARES AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO FOR MOST OF THE THINGS
I have never heard of "ICO" in my life, but seeing that BEAUTIFUL box art makes me need to own it
The first boulder level from Crash 1 made me hysterical as a 5 year old
I used to be really afraid of Ocarina of Time. The dungeons, the nighttime, and the Redeads would terrify me. But I couldn't stop playing it because it was just so amazing.
the damn well in kakariko... this annoying brain eating %$/&°!
Nougatocity6 Actually, that's kind of reasonable. I mean, the game has a bloodstained slug-like white brain-eating monster that attempts to bite your head off in a room made of the skulls of his previous victims.
yeah.. those stressed ne to no end, unti I just ran into water and wairted there
As soon as I learned the Sun's Song I'd compulsively play it whenever it got dark.
I guess being afraid of the game is justifiable, but when I play it now I laugh at the fact I was so easily scared by these rough polygon… things.
Goomba Pie A torture device with a large pool of blood under it is not "E for everyone" material, ESRB.
For some strange reason, when I was younger, I was deathly afraid of Big the Cat from Sonic Adventures. Yep.
NOT KIDDING THATS WAS THE FREAKIEST CRAP EVER WHEN I WAS A KID.
I always hear hates about Big the Cat in Sonic Adventure, but never heard of being afraid of him. Anyways the Criterion logo in Burnout 3 used to scare me.
Well I was like, three years old. I'm still afraid of him.
FROGGY! WHERE ARE YOU?
BIG THE CAT!
When I was young I didn't own my own games console for a long time. My earliest memories of gaming were on my father's old computer, specifically command and conquer red alert and the tomb raider games. No problem with the former but, sweet gods of Olympus, the latter I frequently found terrifying. Mostly it was when all would be quiet, then suddenly an enemy would come charging in from the absurdly near blackness of a short draw distance. Or a massive statue would come alive and shred me with giant swords. I would frequently die And so end up redoing fights, i would often find myself pausing the game for 5 minutes to convince myself to enter the chamber or area. The moment that sticks in my mind most though is the appearance of the tyranasaur in TR 1 and 3, namely the one that charges at you down the lost valley almost as soon as you arrive and the one that attacks you when you retrieve the captain's key from its nest. Just the screen shake, music and their sheer size in relation to me when all I really knew how to do was stand and shoot. . .well you can see where I'm coming from.
For me, it was all of that Tomb Raider stuff, plus the slopes where a boulder would come down.
I ended up terrified when any of those happened.
Keyaku oh gods I forgot about the boulders! "oh a long incline? Must be something important at the top" *screen shakes and deathly rumbling noises as boulder comes hurtling down slope* "ahh! What do I do?" *fingers fumble madly on keyboard only to have Lara ground to a fine paste on the chamber floor. I promptly have to go and drink a vast quantity of tea* yes, I remember the boulders being terrifying when I was 6 too.
First console ps1, first two games I played was spyro 2 and crash bandicoot 1, first thing that scared me was probably a creepy robot gorilla Ina rug rays game that would "kill you" if he found you.
*rugrats.
Mario Deadpool That rugrats game was nightmare fuel for a kid
what the fuck is that schmickles thing from?
The specific video was called "John Lennon's day off"
@@ASLB247It was from an episode of Bo Selecta. A British comedy show where the host dresses up as celebrities to prank people. Aside from Michael Jackson, his disguise of John Lennon was another one.
I've barely got past 10 seconds of this video & I already know nothing on this list is going to be scarier than whatever the fuck I've just seen!
OKAY I WAS FUCKING WRONG! I AINT GOING TO SLEEP TONIGHT
Pizzaman Jenkins I still want to know how he could make that face xD
Pizzaman Jenkins I agree
I don't know why, but the noises of the crocs when they walked around from Donkey Kong Country actually scared me a bit when I played that game. Not sure why really. o - o
"it's not the piano from mario 64" STOP READING MY MIND THROUGH THE SCREEN
I WAS SAYING THAT!!! STOP READING MY MIND!!!!
Alex Livings MY MIND WAS NOT READ, BUT CAN I JOIN IN ANYWAY!? I'M LONELY.
I LIKE PINEAPPLES
That piano scarred the hell outta me when I was younger, so did the last staircase.
I was more scared from the Eel
If you didn't already feel silly enough for being scared of Uncle Ben's killer, the actor who played him in the movie is named "Michael Papajohn."
I was scared by the DUMBEST thing ever.
The Majora's Mask moon.... IN MELEE TROPHY FORM!
I immediately turned off SSBM after I got the trophy from the LOTTERY!
Nightbane I think Crazy Hand's laugh also scared me, but I usually played on Very Easy.
Naw, that's understanable.
One guy is afraid of the fucking smash bros. 64 no contest screen
***** I was also scared when the Melee announcer said "FAILURE....".
Although not game related, I was scared of the dumbest thing. The xp startup and shutdown. Yes, I cried
2875dulce I always thought that was creepy, but I wasn't scared of it.
My biggest fear:
High-pitched voice cheat codes.
Yes.
I remember I was scared of Animal Crossing :1
The game glitched and the music started to Screech.
I also used to be afraid of the Sims when my house got robbed.
Yet I was able to play Left For Dead... I was a weird kid.
I was terrified when Link turned into a wolf in twilight princess.
so what if I'm Fkn crazy bro If that was creepy, you should have seen that cutseen where the fusesd shadows were explain, I will never forget Links face
As a kid I was very, very heavily scared by those Zelda: The Wind Waker enemies that look like pineapples that fly towards you with this one staring, horrifying eye.
Didn't their eyes shift colors the whole time or something? Those enemies were the reason I never finished Wind Waker on my own since you have to go on the island they're around for a triangle shard I think.
Oh also in Twilight Princess I found those lava worms (with only one staring eye that is surrounded by claws/teeth) disturbing as the boss in the dungeon they were in if I remember correctly.
Twilight Princess was one hell of disturbing game if you just recapitulate the characters, the story and things happening and the overall very, very unsettling world.
I think the sound track and design played a huge part on that. Just compare it to the mostly adventureous music in Wind Waker.
I mean transforming into things are horrifying due to the lack of control when turning into another thing.
@@masterseal0418 imagine what happens to your skeleton during a transformation.
Memes were the number 1 thing that scared me as a kid
***** I am subbed to like 200 people so it is possible XD
Über eXe
r u nsultin mah denk mems m8? u cheky skrub!
Haedox I see you everywhere
Game grumps, and cadonky
JunkFolder I see you everywhere
My dreams, my heart, my eyes
Samuel Martinez Sometimes I even scare myself
the shadow ghosts in the level, "Let There Be Light", in the game, Rugrats: Search For Reptar, scared the shit outta me when I was little
...Rugrats...?
I was scared of those ghosts as well in Rugrats.
Caddy was scared of them too
And Caddy is scared of them too
The intro to the game "Soul Reaver" had me crying...
I don't cry but it might be able to bring some tear into my eye. Tears of joy. That game is one of the greatest I've played in my life. Ohh, the music is fantastic!
Anyone ever heard of the game PokePark? Well, I played it when I was 7, and it took me a month. A literal MONTH to get myself into that haunted mansion...
Also. 12:13
The ghost level in Rugrats: Search for Reptar
I can sort of relate, even though it was the pyramid section of the golf level in that game. I would NEVER go back in that pyramid after my first encounter with the mummy toy thing that was inside.
I used to panic on that level fuck XD
Gotta agree with you guys Darklaw555 *****
Gods, I remember that level! It was so, so creepy :x
I don't think it was worth it Caddi, I'm so sad for you ;(
Dying in Intelligent Qube (Kurushi in PAL) Scared me too.
i have other Things i was Scared of when i was a kid...
Crash Bandicoot 2 Chase Levels (I was SUPER Scared of the Friggin' Boulder Chase Scenes!!)
THX (ALL OF THEM, EVEN THE TEX ONE. OH TEX USED TO MAKE ME CRAP MY PANTS. AND EVEN THX CERTIFIED FRIGGIN' GAME.)
Cacodemons in DOOM (PSX) (mainly their Hisses and Death Sound Lol)
Gex: Enter the Gecko (ARE THESE GIANT FREAKING COCONUTS FALLING FROM ABOVE!?)
PlayStation 2's Red Screen of Death... (Of Course...Lol)
Playstation red screen of death ?
+David lechevalier You know, "Please Insert a PlayStation or a PlayStation 2 Format Disc". With the Horrifying Music. This was also Called a Nightmare Logo by Wikis such as CLG Wiki.
MidKnight the Dokkan Guy Meh, i never found it scary, i found it one time however, and i was a little nervus.
+MidKnight the Dokkan Guy same.
I was playing plants vs zombies for The NINTENDO DS one night, And I was playing the Dr zomboss's revenge minigame and I Almost had it beat, looked away for a moment, Came back, saw three GARGANTUARS and lost it. I probably silently screamed for like a minute. It was more funny than scary.
I was always scared of that menu on the GameCube that appeared when there was no disc loaded. Not sure why.
I'm still scared of that. The small cube floating in the endless void, the haunting music.. I always pop in a disc before even THINKING of starting up the console.
wow I thought it was just me...
christ i forgot about that. it was so .... creepy. *shudders*
The only game I remember scaring me as a kid was the part in the Chamber of Secrets game where you had to sneak around the guy in the Magical Menagerie. Something about the gloomy atmosphere, the guys voice and the anticipation of being caught was really scary for me as a kid.
OddGonzo Sneaking and hiding from Filch in the Philosopher's Stone was scarier for me. Also the piano from Super Mario 64 because I'm so original.
Same here that terrified me.
Lager200
I always found the Dungeons in PS1 Philosopher's Stone pretty spooky, especially when running into Snape for the first time. That darker lighting behind him just made him really intimidating. Not to mention he was the first adult character in the game that wasn't friendly, so his height in comparison to Harry made it worse.
Lager200 I agree about hiding from Filch. That part of the game was tense.
oh my god yes is was like super dramatic when i spotted you
I used to have be of the opening Monsters Inc., when I was 3 or 4.
I can remember that I was screaming and crying under a table.
Not until Kingdom Hearts 3 when you see Goofy on ketamine, and EEEEEEEEE, That’s Brilliant! Face and Appearance Sora.
Also Vanitas got yeeted by Sulley into the door to Nepal mountains! (Dragonborn theme from Elder Scrolls: Skyrim plays)
The enemies in Ecco the Dolphin PS2. I loved the first level so much but then you get to the sharks and combined with the timer/breath meter I was scared enough to stop playing.
There was a demo I played as a kid that scared me so much I had nightmares for weeks.
Kiss: Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child.
the entirety of luigis mansion terrified me as a kid
+Rose Quartz Look up the theory about the hanging luigi and you'll be scared of it as an adult.
+Adam McKibben (Assuming you're talking about the room with Luigi's shadow on the wall) there's nothing really to be afraid of. The reason the shadow is on wall is because of the angle that the light is coming from. For whatever reason the light is coming from below Luigi, causing the shadow to look like its floating up on the wall (since the level geometry doesn't cast shadows).
True lol
The part with the trolls in the first Harry Potter game on the PS 1. I was around seven at the time and I was so scarred that the moment I saw them, I turned it off and never played it again. (Because my dad broke the PS in rage when a game didn't work a few months later :( )
oh caddy, you silly person you, I couldn't guess ANY of the things in this list.....
but the #1 is the most unexpected and unpredictable so.... you got me there.
You scared me so times dude....
In Jak 3, if you swim too far into the ocean a giant tentacle grabs you and it scared me so bad when I was a kid that I was afraid to even go near any water in the game. I'm still reluctant to go in water in games and feel super anxious when I have to
I made an attempt at that face in the intro.
I still can't get my lips to stop bleeding.
Me too! I think a lawsuit is in order...
Nice to see I'm not the only one.
I TRUSTED HIM. I IS NOW KILL. LIEK IF U CRIE EVEREH TIEHM
My face is really sore because of trying to attempt it, glad to know I'm not the only one who tried.
Same with me
Myst.
I loved it, but man it got creepy.
Dane Tucker How could I forget about Myst!!! When I first got that game many years ago, I was never able to play it because I was afraid of everything in it!
creepiest fucking shit ever! As well as those creepy flash games, the white room/viridian room etc
Yes! I've tried playing it as a child, but I could never get past the first few screens, because I was terrified of it. Even by now I don't remember anything about this game, except the overwhelming feeling of dread it used to fill me with. I don't even remember why it scared me so much.
Will Teach Yeah, and then they did that in Riven and it made me jump.
The fucking ghosts from Sonic Adventure 2. They were the cheapest fucking jump scare tactic, and damn they worked. I shit you not, I didn't even get past Pumpkin Hill until after I had beaten the entirety of the Dark Story. Rouge had one pyramid level with ghosts, but that was literally it. Going from Pumpkin Hill to Aquatic Mine to Death Chamber took its toll on me as a kid, I always exited the level everytime I got scared.
MAN I was pathetic.
Ugg, me too. It was even worse for me, whenever I came in contact with a Boom Boo in the Death Chamber level I literally turned the console off because I was so scared :(
It was the drowning music that got me. Aquatic Mine was a fucking horror. I still sweat bullets whenever I play that stage or Cannon's Core
***** Same here man. I feel you. I haven't played the game in years, so I don't know if I ever got over them.
Another terrifying thing about Sonic Adventure 2 is the fact that some people seem seriously convinced that it's a fun game for some reason.
Rogue had that fucking giant robot beetle and that scared me. I love SA2 but I hate that I'm too much of a chicken shit to get past those levels. Fucking ghosts and beetle for Knuckles and Rogue xP
My top 5 scary gaming things as a kid:5: The music in the car select screen in Gran Turismo 1's arcade mode.4: The PS1 Startup3: The screams when a wrestler gets hit in Acclaim's WWF games. Still terrified of that, actually, and I'm 17. That's why I'll only touch the wrestling games from THQ-era and onward.2: The title screen from Real Pool for PS2. (This is a really stupid one)1: PS2 Red Screen of Death.Other, non-gaming related childhood scares:5: The sound of a tape deck "eating" the audiocassette4: Face (from Nick Jr.)3: The "Feature Presentation" screen from most Paramount VHS tapes (especially the Nickelodeon ones)2: The Klasky-Csupo logo1: "Wormy" (SpongeBob SquarePants episode, Season 2)bonus mention: That Goosebumps episode with the sponge. Other bonus mention: Bear in the Big Blue House.
Caifabe BROOOOO I feel you on the Ps2 thing. Shit was scary af! And the saves thing too....
When I saw the Spiderman thing I could have sworn it was going to be Monster Ock from the Spiderman game on the PS1. That for me was the most terrifying thing as a kid - fucking scary stuff. Look it up if you have to. I played that mission when I was 8. I never looked at the game the same.
Yeah same here, that shit was scary
Same here, I used to shit myself when I got stuck to the wall and started climbing and everytime you got a good distance from him, he sped up. Definitely an awesome ending to a amazing game ;)
That was fucking terrifying
When I saw that it was the 1st Spiderman movie tie in game, I assumed the thing that scared him was getting a game over. The music that plays when that happens is fucking depressing.
I thought the same thing at first. Seriously though, Monster Ock was SCARY. It took me MONTHS to gather the courage to even ATTEMPT to face him.
Nope
#1 is TOTALLY understandable!
Poor little kid version of you.........
enolC explains itself.
I don’t know why, but the way you said “ZOMBIES HAPPEN” @ 10:07, I thought you kinda sounded like Jordan Underneath.
I was always afraid of loud intros.
Seriously.
I wasn't afraid of watching robot chicken, I wasn't afraid of Tim Burton, but I was scared of FREAKING LOUD ASS INTROS
Random fears I had in games (not exclusively childhood ones, mind you):
Mario 64 Piano
ReDeads
Final Boss in Spiderman (N64)
Sonic Adventure 2 Ghosts
Andross
Regenerators from RE4 (Dear God, Regenerators. And the noises they made?)
Whoever does the voice of Ratman from Portal (Ghost of Rattmann and that random occurrence of him rambling, all while in a dank, schizophrenic madhouse? All alone? No!)
Big, unrealistic smiles
Boos, and that one ceiling ghost from Luigi's Mansion (Again, with the smiles)
Silent Hill (Take your pick, from 1 to The Room)
Baby Bowser in Yoshi's Island
The one-eyed monsters from Doom
Anyone else agree?
Gage Clinton I agree with those fucking ghosts in SA2. I hated that fucking level.
The SA2 ghosts weren't really scary, they were just really fucking annoying.
Regenerators from RE 4 god that thing the noise its already scary
The fetus from P.T. **shivers**
I can kinda see why you were scared of the Cacko-demons from DOOM. Those things were terrifying o_o
The level in Ice Age 2 where you played as Scrat and you had to travel inside the body of a sea monster... That shit fucking psychologically traumatized me as a child o.o
Liz Yeah I was terrified when I played that level. Nightmare fuel
Oh my god I was scared too
Oh my heavens yes...
Zethany I never played that but anything having to do with going into another living thing's body is just awful. But that's just me personally.
Dude I've always been terrified of things like that. Even now, as an adult, it still really gets my skin crawling if I'm not prepared for it .
I was scared of a lot of stupid shit in games when I was a kid. Even though I was too young to play it or fully understand it, I really liked Fable II, but I was absolutely horrified in the Wellspring cave with the Hollow Men. It's also why I almost NEVER go to Wraithmarsh in game. And another thing was in the super happy Super Mario Sunshine game, with the weird spiky orange things that hid in flowers and sang. I was afraid of their song and their happy faces as they came hurdling towards me. The trees from the Spooky Forest in Shrek 2 and lastly, Dastardos from Viva Piñata. I HATED his song and how he fucking smashed my Piñatas, the prick.
This was an unintentionally long comment.
+Wonderful Magica oh believe me I'm scare of even more stupid things than that XD but hey you were young and some things do scare me now as a teen
+Wonderful Magica For me, the balvarines were the scariest thing in Fable, and Dastardos was such a terrifying bastard.
+Wonderful Magica No, those are pretty justified, you're not stupid by being scared by them. Unless you were also scared of the shadow beasts (more specifically, their scream) in Twilight Princess like I was. Then you're stupid.
Tico The Nicaea Navigator Aw, thank you. No, don't worry, the shadow beasts seem pretty justified to me. I always thought they were pretty freaky myself.
Wonderful Magica Thanks. But why do developers always put such creepy shit in their games?
I was really scared of this mediocre Scooby-Doo GBA game. I don't remember what its called but I remember it was really hard and it began to scare me to the point that I intentionally lost it so i couldn't play it.
deanampora64 Scooby-Doo & the Cyber Chase maybe?
Scooby Doo Mystery Maythem?
Scooby Doo classic creep capers
Scooby doo and the scat fetish gnome.😮
Well aint this gonna be a doozy.
***** I do man! I love hocus pocus
I thought you got rekt by the purple guy.
lol, and I just finished watching the episode of mlp; pinkie keen episode, when they face a doozy.
Sweenix!!!!!
When I heard spiderman, was I the only one who instantly jumped to monster ock?
No....no you were not.
paul duncan Yeah no man you were not the only one.Hated that part so much as a child...
My god, that whole sequence was freaky as fuck. Especially since I had a lot of difficulty winning.
NOOOO NOT MAN SPIDER MY NIGHTMARES ARE COMING BACK NOOOOO
Certainly not, getting killed by him was brutal. Really it looked like he was tearing into Spiderman's skin. D8
PS1 Doom scared me a lot.
Also a bit more unusual: magic carpet. The whole ambiance of the game was quite unsettling for me as a kid.
I remember Clone but it wasnt that scary to me. I do miss those demo disc days. I remember how excited i got when the local store had a new official uk playstation mag+demo on sale (i live in the netherlands).
PS1 and old games in general must be cursed to be scarier than new gen games. Even that Mr. Domino game scared me so bad as a kid, I could hardly ever play it.
yes there is definitely something very creepy about a lot of old games specifically ps1. I wish newer games could give that kind of vibe.
I always thought it's because of the primitive graphics. Sometimes less is more, haha- Yeah, I find older games overall scarier than some newer ones.
Dot Suffer I agree
Dot Suffer that and most old games had shitty camera systems in older games. Also even though I was 10 the PS2 intro scared me
Fuck, I've never even heard of #1 but your clip really got to me.
...
...
*It's a PlayStation indie game you've never heard of!*
You know the ice-themed temple in legend of Zelda TP?
The boss?
Freaking terrifying...
Chromatica NOT TAKE MIRROR!
Yeah.
That...
Ugh.
nopenopenope
I don't know why but I always found that part hilarious :P but the hand that follows you in the twilight realm is a different story -_-
I got to that part when I brought my GameCube upstairs to a bigger tv and it actually made my whole family scream when they decided to glance at what I was playing xD
I remember when I was like 11 and I went under the well in Ocarina of Time. And lets just say, I avoided that area for quite some time after that.
I know the feeling! Still freaks me today and I'm fucking 15!!
Bro shadow temple was scarier because here gathers hyrule royals blood of greed and hatred.
+Blackmetroid I'm 21, and I still can't stand the Shadow Temple and Beneath the Well.
+Stefano Wohsdioghasdhisdg The Shadow Temple was a joke. You are right about the Bottom of the Well though. Playing as a child is scarier than as an adult.
I was completely fine with the shadow temple and beneath the well but the music of the forest temple just gave me the creeps as a kid. Other than that nothing in ocarina of time scared me.
In no particular order, here are just a few things from games that scared me as a kid:
- That huge great white shark in the second level of Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future (honestly this one still does kind of put me on edge)
- The game over screen from Crash Bandicoot 2
- The music in the level 'Sabor Attacks' in Disney's Tarzan
- Having to battle the lizard-man......THINGS on the subway train level in Spider-Man for the PS1
- The symbiotes, also from Spider-Man on the PS1
- Searching for the kitten stuck down the well in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (PS1)
- The 'Mad Doctor' level in Mickey's Wild Adventure (Mickey Mania in the US)
- The boss fight against Thumper in A Bug's Life on PS1
For me, 10 to 12 years ago, I used to play a bunch of games on the Sky features, when you pressed the red button on the remote.
Does anyone remember this game?
It was in a maze with mummies. I just found it tense.
The PS2 startup screen petrified me.
holy shit, those ambient noises and all you had were those tiny lights spinning around... nope nope nope
kalakash Glad i'm not the only one.
+Abdullah Yusof it scared me slightly, but the error screen made me shit my pants .-.
It's even worse when the screen goes red with that noise after the startup screen. Scared me when I was younger D:
PS1 startup was scarier imo
Anyone remember the knaarens from Rayman 3?
YES
I quit that game as a kid for those. Also the little ghost things with the strange music. Spooky
They made me quit the game when I was 9 :( I beat it only after 3 years of living in fear of those bastards being around the corner.
Those guys were kinda freaky. Also, the ghost things were zombie chickens.
Zombie chickens.
They were in Rayman 2 also.
Zombie. Chickens.
Oh god yes.
I used to, and still am, scared of game errors
Logan Quinn me too, clipping and falling through the ground still terrifies me and I'm 21...
When i was around 15, i eneded up not being scared of much, but I eneded up having a nightmare about being trapped in a glitched game. I think it was me being stuck in cheetahmen 2 or something. I don't know why, but that was the only nightmare that ever afftected me as a kid. Well apart from when I watched Titanic at around 6 and had nightmares of being stuck on it and ending up drowning. I still can't watch that bloody film and I'm almost 19
Same here! *raises miluk*
I was never scared of Clone, I found the game to be hilarious. Especially the aliens screaming. XD
Alien demons?
That N-Gins joke! :D
Nice profile picture you got there ;)
+HoodoHoodlumsRevenge Thanks. Hope it's the future Murdoc's design
Stu D Sure seems like it could be! :D
+HoodoHoodlumsRevenge Yes please. It's not been said when the new album will be released, right?
Stu D They're aiming for a 2016 release. So I'M HYPED!
I love how this video comes up when you search for SHMICKLES xD :D
As a child, I remember being scared of the Bush Ninjas from Pitfall: The Lost Expedition. The way they slowly creep towards you is a bit unnerving. It's especially creepy when you're inside that turtle-shaped temple. That area is a bit dark and you can hear the sounds of the bushes rustling.
Am I the only one who was TERRIFIED of the drowning music from the classic sonic games as a kid? Even to this day, I die inside whenever I get to one of those levels.
Nah, a lot of people are scared of that music.
I'm STILL terrified of that.
Labyrinth Zone is the reason I fear all Water Levels and any level where you have some sort of Oxygen meter or timer in video games...
Sure Sonic 2 was a bit fairer on the water levels and Sonic 3's Hydrocity is very upbeat and has the bubble shield, and both of them you move faster in the water than in sonic 1, as well as bubbles being pattern based rather than truly random, but I will never shake off that fear of being stuck in a water segment and drowning...
Vivian Sutton you know what's the oddest thing about a sonic game that scared me? One of the secret sound test screens in sonic cd. Not the infamous "fun is infinite" screen mind you, but the BATMAN PARODY SCREEN. mostly because of the eerily realistic looking batman/sonic and his tiny eyes that stare into your soul...i remember the first time I saw that it not only scared me from viewing any more pictures up to that point (that's actually what kept me from seeing the "fun is infinite" screen until about a year or two ago), but it actually scared me from sound test secrets in general for a while. I've gotten over it of course and the image is actually pretty funny to me now, but I remember it being one of the strangest things frightened me in my youth.
The reason why the aquatic mines from SA2 made me nervous.
You know what gave me nightmares as a tiny theropod? Because it was really specific, so get ready.
This thing happens to be in Donkey King 64. Was it one the bosses? Nope. One of the enemies? Nada.
The entity that haunted my dreams as a hatchling was that stupid totem pole character in Angry Aztec. Why? I have forgotten. But maybe it's because of it's large eyes and big, toothy grin always gazing at me when I was in the general vicinity.
I never truly finished Angry Aztec because of that cursed totem pole.
Always watching me.
The Gentlesaurian Velocidapper That place was torn down to make a parking lot you know. The totem is on Ebay if you want to laugh at it.
The crypt in the Creepy Castle level terrified me. Something about the music combined with the unnerving textures on the walls and that freaky, terrifying... mine cart ride...
I can't believe I found a man that has played donkey king remember when *SPOILER ALERT* You had to kill Queen Asstrid
***** Evilmonkey3X Oh those too, those didn't help. Man, Angry Aztec was the bane of my childhood.
Sir Squidly
I would, but I don't want to relive the irrational and dumb childhood terror that thing gave me.
What is that shmickles thing from?
It's from Bo' Selecta, the John Lennon sketch
Bo selecta for guess
No Selecta I think.
John Lennons Dead Day Off(Bo Selecta series 1)
look it up on youtube
Reverendshot777 No Selecta? Gonna be a shit party with no DJ. lol
Thank you so much for bringing up what was apparently a suppressed memory from my childhood playing Clone on a demo disc.
Odd thing is I can actually remember playing it way more than 1 time.... and I seriously don't even know why...
There was a level in Spiderman for PS1 based in a bank that sometimes when you'd climb on the ceiling would make a sudden noise and the music would slightly change from what I remember and that used to scare 7 year old me
I'm guessing his Number 1 is gonna be something really silly like Tetris.
Nope
I guessed the Tekken 1 fmv's. Surprised we didn't see that in the list.
I guess Spyro
Daniel Webber I couldn't resist skipping the video to the number one because after I saw the little clip between number 8 and 7 I was pretty sure it had something to do with Spyro (I thought the suit was a hint) but nope no spyro)
Gamer63200 my guess is metal mario
Not Video Game related, but I was scared of Lucky Charms as a kid.
Carly Oshawott WOT
Kingler The Great
The damn leprechaun...
Don't worry... They updated him, and now he looks like something from Adventure Time.
- Seeing Mario being poisoned in Mario 64's Hazy Maze cave.
- BLOOD in House of the Dead arcade.
- Robot sharks in Spyro 2.
- Death animation in The Lion King and The Jungle Book, PC.
- Bad ending and the ass-kicking skeleton in Lego Island.
I had a similar fear to the first one shown. It was mainly because I had a fear of DVD menus.
I too had a fear of DVD menus. I wasn't sure anyone else had this.
Reionder It's something about the way the sound and audio loops happen. I can't quite pinpoint it, but when I was alone and a horrible DVD menu was in front of me, I can't stay there for long.
If my memory serves me right, the scariest DVD menu to me was the menu for Mr. And Ms. Smith. (that one movie with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie).
Omg yes. I have found my people. The worst one for me was the tarzan menu theme. The way disney tarzan screams at the end of the short jungle loop was absolutely bone chilling for me as a child. I was up all night with my back facing the TV when we rented it.
Reionder When I was little I saw this one screamer where you look at a picture of a room and try to spot a ghost and then a face pops up and screams at you. It was scary enough on its own but for some reason it looped and I was too scared to look at the screen to turn it off. Instead it ended in me sitting there with my eyes shut plugging my ears while the computer screamed at me every 10 or so seconds.
From then on, I had an irrational fear of screens with stationary pictures on them, including being off. Probably the absolute worst DVD menu for me was the first Harry Potter menu because it let you roam the halls of Hogwarts with your remote, which just led to lots of stationary, non-moving, silent images of rooms, similar to that of the screamer room that scared me.
I also got scared of the repeating, with sound, DVD menus, perhaps for somewhat the same reason but I think it's a little bit different. It was partly, as machinimamarlon said, the whole repeating thing.
weebMV Michael the Magician I saw both the Tarzan and Harry Potter DVD menus, and I can vouch that they were scary as all hell.
And Michael the Magician, after my first screamer I always pause the TH-cam video and check the comments first.
I KNEW that Clone would be on here somewhere! (B.T.W, it's completely believable!)
Not necessarily in order
#1 Myst, just.. the entire game
#2 The first appearance of the Flood in Halo
#3 The mission in Halo 3 where you rescue Cortana
#4 Advanced Zerg units and Protoss Structures in SC (specifically on the N64) they were spooky looking
#5 A really strange event when me and my sister where playing Dynasty Warriors 6 where she took a picture of Liu Bei on a horse, and instead the photo showed a bright yellow glowing spot in Liu Bei's place
#6 The mirror part in Amy's first level in Sonic Adventure 1
#7 Kvatch in Oblivion, just.... Kvatch..
#8 Aquatos sewers in Ratchet and Clank 3
#9 Aquatic Mine in Sonic Adventure 2, that whole level was fucking spooky.
#10 any game where it's broad daylight but you are the only character present, it's eerie as fuck.
Me and my brother were horrified of yoshi's story. Why? What happened when you lost a yoshi. You know, when the toadies carry the yoshi to baby Bowser's castle. Maybe it was the fact it was so dark and gloomy, the toadies looked disturbing to us (looking like they're mad) and the yoshi crying as it was carried to the castle. My brother even had a nightmare about after getting in the castle the yoshi was brutally murdered.
who remembers the ooze on the sega genesis? that title screen made me shit my pants as a kid

Me! It was on some Sonic thing plus whatever.
