the butler from the first game was the scariest ghost for me when i was younger, it might have been the strange noises he makes or his erratic movements, he was just unsettling
Melody is also creepy when you say a wrong answer. She's been pretty friendly so far, but if you pick the wrong answer she just loses it and starts banging the piano keys angrily yelling "No! No! No!"
With Luigi's Mansion 1, I think the game achieves a certain baseline spookiness with its portrait ghosts that comes in part from it playing up the simple presence of a ghost as being uncanny. The ghosts don't even have to be disturbing-looking or doing anything hostile necessarily, just the fact that the soul of a dead person is present and repeatedly emulating some behavior it did in life. I'd say the way that they kind of disappear at times adds to this. Also, ironically, the fact that they kind of ignore you also adds to the spookiness. They're only half-there, and again, doing a rote imitation of some behavior they did in life. I think in this sense it actually captures, perhaps, the experience of going to a place that is rumored to be haunted. Even if you believe in ghosts, you don't expect a ghost to just pop out and chat casually with you. You expect to see something in the corner of your eye. An example of something similar in Luigi's Mansion 1 is the ghost that drops the key. The subtle presence of the ghost just kind of dropping it is, in and of itself, a bit spooky.
I think everything you just described is what made them more creepy then lm3 did. I liked that everything wasn’t some elaborate drawn out sequence of events but instead you just find them and observe their routine. It very much reminds me of the same experience in the Disney haunted mansion ride. I feel Luigi’s mansion 1 really captured the essence of that ride.
The ghosts from the first game that drop down from the ceiling were the scariest for me, something about being chased while they made that awful noise gave me nightmares as a child
Oh boy. You want to up the scare factor in Luigi's Mansion 1? There's a mod for the Gamecube version that changes your perspective from 3rd person to first person, along with some changes to make that sort of gameplay easier. You'd be surprised just how much scarier that game is if you're playing from Luigi's perspective.
The scariest boss ghost for me has to be Bogmire I mean compared to all the other portrait ghost Bogmire has a creepy design and the fact that he's a product of the mansions fear and despair makes his existence a lot more disturbing
The buildup to Ug is why it should be up higher. The lightning strikes so hard that it shakes the whole floor, and so brightly it allows the T-rex to move before it fades away. And by intimidation, it dwarfs most bosses in 3 easily. And don’t even get me started on when he breaks loose.
Putting myself in the position Luigi is in the giant knight would give me a goddamn TERRIFIED. He could probably just flick his finger at me and the wind would rip me off the floor down into the void
Maybe because kids saw the first and thought, “Oh Luigi cool! This must be for young kids like meee!” So they made the game a bit more kiddy. My 10 year old friend got nightmares from the ghosts in 1 once.
@@Lemoninacup-b9fIt’s mostly because the original was a team from Nintendo themselves, while the sequels were made by a Canadian studio that simply made them too kiddy.
I feel like the clock tower would be scarier in real life especially when the hands are heated later in the battle and the fact that they could knock you down at anytime when they spin around (heck, they could even cut you in half for all we know especially when they're heated).
@timcellar9021 Dark Moon's King Boo was workin behind the scenes the entire game, but in 3 he straight up goes on the attack before you even get the Poltergust
I think the scariest bosses are the child ghosts. Not for their battles(ok, maybe for Chauncey and the triplets), but rather for the fact that they are children and the realization they most likely had horrible deaths(or just straight up died in their sleep or as a stillborn) is horrific. It makes you want to scoop them all up and hug them, give them candy, wrap them blankets and let them watch happy movies like the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Clem was the boss that I had the most trouble with during my play through of Luigi’s Mansion 3. Also, Nicky, Lindsey and Ginney scrambling up the rooms on the floor are also why Magician’s parlor was my favorite floor in the game.
That floor was by far my favourite becuse of the way they interact with you throughout, especially the section that resembles the blackout from the first game
Ranking the five possessor ghosts because he was kind of wrong. 5- Clock. obviously. 4-Stairs. there not scary at all. 3- The Spider. Scary if you have arachnophobia. Now, were down the final 2, These 2 are ABSOLUTLEY terrifying, but one had to come out on top. 2- Chilly ride. Imagine your luigi in this scenario. you have to kill something that's going farther and farther away, slowly getting hotter in your vehicle. the stress of being on a limit before you explode. However, its not number one because if i was luigi, i would kind of be having fun, its like a roller coaster. 1- The Suit of armor. Its not scary until you get to its third phase. Imagine being luigi in this situation... the entire fate of the world rest in your hands.. you might never come back and then the ghost possesses A GIGANTIC SUIT OF ARMOR, WITH ONE GOAL. HE WANTS. YOU. DEAD. HE LITERALLY STOMPS THE FLOOR TO CRUSH YOU, but he neglected to avoid the carpets. but i would literally be stressing out. im shocked he put this one at "spooky" , not to mention your in an entire different dimension.
The fact that the Nightmare tier starts off with Mr Luggs reminds me of that one video where they call a sea cucumber a "Horrifying monster of the ocean"
Mr. Luggs isn't scary appearance wise, but he shoots fireballs at you, and if your hit, you're stunned enough for him to hit you again. also the cramped dining room with the extremely large table makes him much harder to dodge.
That's a great list. While I loved Luigi's Mansion 3 and a lot of ghosts and floors were great, some were a little bit too silly and were not doing justice to the haunted theme in my opinion. I think the game needs to keep the adventure aspect of Luigi's Mansion 3, and it shouldn't be as dark as the first one, but they need to tone down the light a little bit, the game was sometimes a bit too bright, and it's hard to feel like you are in a haunted hotel when there is light all around. I also like the more personal and a little dramatic aspect of the ghosts in the first game. I think the next game should try something in between the first and the third game, learn from both, and maybe from 2 as well, with multiple mansions, as in a village for example. Luigi's Mansion 4 : the haunted village.
The baby ghost 👻 scared me the most as a kid. The little girl ghost is pretty creepy too. What’s scariest about them though is the fact that as you said they are actually the spirits of a dead baby and little girl which is pretty dark making Luigi’s Mansion surely the darkest Nintendo game ever made.
I personally found the Butler to be hilarious. He also appeared to be scared of Luigi, and sits on his own fire like a bafoon. Sue Pea will haunt my nightmares for years to come though
I can’t remember if any bosses scarred me since I played Luigi mansion, dark moon as a kid but since I was older when Luigi mansion 3 came out, I actually enjoy some of the bosses in that game
It took me watching this video to realize what felt off about Luigi's Mansion 3's boss ghosts' designs, even though you never bring it up. It's the fact they don't have ears.
"Old people just scare me" 😅 okay then lol. But that is a common trope in horror movies. To me kids as ghosts though is more sad than scary. As.. That means these young children died pretty prematurely. And probably undeservedly so..
I Don’t think Slim Bankshot is Scary insted he’s just lonely and he just wanted to play with a Friend and I think the Creepy part is that he played alone for 29 Years with no friends
They toy soldiers absolutely terrified me as a kid, but that also could've been how difficult the fight is. But Chauncey is definitely scary, and has the best atmosphere of any boss ghost
For me the toy soldiers will always be scary cause going into that room and it being quiet then all of a sudden these big soldier men start charging and shouting at me and with little to no music indicating that they are bosses was so creepy but for atmosphere creepiness it goes to boolasus cause dam was her scary and then the lighting strikes and there is no power all of that was super scary
Luigi’s Mansion 1 gets carried hard by its amazing atmosphere. Like no LM game its going to be scary at all, but 1 is the only one were the atmosphere helps the mood really really well. A shame the sequels are simply too cutesy to recapture that amazing mood the original Luigi’s Mansion had.
The fact that a Giant Baby Ghost is scarier than a creepy eldritch entity that is the literal manifestation of the Mansion's fear and despair amuses me to which is something I strongly disagree with even a little girl that died in her sleep at a criminally young age is unable to top something as nightmarish as Bogmire
Honestly, compared to the sequels, everything about the first Luigi’s mansion was scary. As a matter of fact, if one ever played the GameCube version, they’d see the difference in the level of horror including the beta version of a game over in the first one.
for me i didnt play the first two but i played the third one and, personally, its the owner of the hotel (i always forget her name) not only is it the fact that she doesnt face you in person, but the wrinkles on her and her design in general. also its the lasers and the fact she seems so unsettling.
For me, Clem was the scariest ghost out of them all. He actually could have drowned Luigi. And I’m not usually scared of many video games, but this really threatened me. I actually thought Luigi would drown.
I have never played luigi's mansion (any of hem but i know the 3rd) But the 1st is absolutely horrifying, not because the sfx, or the models, its because the lore of the ghosts, (i'm sorry i dont know the ghosts names but ill try to tell the most seeable/known thing of them) The fat guy, he died TRYING TO EAT HIMSELF Buff dude, he died trying to lift a dumbell but it fell on him The baby, oh god i dont even want to know (same with the twins) The dancing pair i'm pretty sure died while together Shivers, idk, he probably died stuck in the freezer, his name says so
I'd say that most of the original Luigi's Mansion ghosts are much creepier than the sequels because of the doll-like effect. Most of them are very minimalistic with their facial expressions and you rarely look at them from up close. In later games they are much more detailed and expressive and I think it naturally removes a lot of the creepiness and makes them feel *too* alive.
I wouldn’t say there is anything scary in the Luigi’s Mansion games but I would categorize it as startling. But to be fair if I had to go through what Luigi has gone through in these games I would be scared too
I havent played Luigis mansion yet but when I was a bit younger I watched a video of the Bowser boss ans I was traumatized of the bBowser head detached off his body 💀
I noticed that a lot of the normal ghosts that you fight in Luigi's Mansion 3 look a lot more irregular than the ones fought in Luigi's Mansion 2. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo is slowly taking our feedback on this and by the time of Luigi's Mansion 4 or 5, we end up with regular ghost designs that resemble those of the first game's more.
For me the three sisters from Luigi's mansion 2 were one of the most scary ghosts in the game, but the scariest were absolutely the mummies in the old clock factory 😭😭
Fun fact: The twins are named after famous people relating to their vehicles. Henry, in a car, is named after Henry Ford, while Orville, in a plane, is named after Orville Wright.
I personally like how scary King Boo is in Luigi's mansion 3 and the fact it was released on Halloween made it more fitting. I feel that Nintendo went all out with making him more threatening to the point that even the game over screen looks terrifying😊
For sure. And I think 3 was one of the first times we see him were he ISN'T smiling. He was already creepy when he had that permanent grin. But in 3, there are several times where he just looks flat out pissed off, and that really upped the creepiness factor for me.
Bro for some reason the thing that scared me wasn’t even the boss fights or ghost’s It was the death secuence from Luigi’s mansion 1 you the cutscene where Luigi looks all distorted and weird idk it just gave me nightmares when I was younger
9:20 To be Honest, I would have expected these 3 to be more like Morty in that there goal was to Entertain others so I was surprised that they were actually Hostile.
The baby Chauncey has a war cry before you fight him. It sounded like he was saying my name “ADAM ADAM ADAM” My 5 year old self had to turn the game off.
Chauncey number one. He "was born a ghost", aka died as a baby I believe, is cited as being scarier than his elder siblings by his parents, and actually has the power to do serious harm to you unlike Sue Pea. He is a Boss Ghost after all.
King boo in 3 literally surpasses every ghost in terms of scariness (apart from captain fishhook). His glowing purple eyes unsettle me the more I look at it, his fangs look more creepy, and his evil glare makes me wet my pants.
When I was younger like 5-6 ish I couldn’t even watch the some of the battles from the first game when I would watch my friend play it and when the baby battle happened I had to leave the room and hide…. That baby’s cry still makes my blood run cold
As a kid I actually found the buff ghost in LM1 scary like first I just found his voice weird and unsettling but then when I triggered him I didn’t know what to do as he comes flailing his arms at me. What’s worse if you leave the room he’s stays in that angry state. It’s obvious what you had to do but as a kid I was scared. I thought the grandma was creepy too and dont get me started about the butler screaming down the hall.
I feel like luigis mansion 1 has some of the most memorable, but I have no clue if that's from game design or just the fact I've seen/played several playthroughs of it, meanwhile I've only played dark moon and 3 once
the butler from the first game was the scariest ghost for me when i was younger, it might have been the strange noises he makes or his erratic movements, he was just unsettling

There's one "Boss" I would say fits in none of the categories. Polterpup from Luigi's Mansion 2. Would put him in: Awww he's cute!
I love that cute little dog!
Ranking the five possessor ghosts because he was kind of wrong.
5- Clock. obviously.

With Luigi's fighting experience, I'm sure Luigi will defeat that ghost
Baby Chauncey really is terrifying. I bet a lot of kids probably didn't press on to the next chapter after seeing that. Or even actually fought him.
23:47 This Scene right here is why I want to see a Fanfic where Mario, Peach and Bowser get to watch the Luigi's Mansion Series and react to it.

I personally like how scary King Boo is in Luigi's mansion 3 and the fact it was released on Halloween made it more fitting. I feel that Nintendo went all out with making him more threatening to the point that even the game over screen looks terrifying😊
For sure. And I think 3 was one of the first times we see him were he ISN'T smiling. He was already creepy when he had that permanent grin. But in 3, there are several times where he just looks flat out pissed off, and that really upped the creepiness factor for me.
That is the possessor bruh 14:01
Bro for some reason the thing that scared me wasn’t even the boss fights or ghost’s It was the death secuence from Luigi’s mansion 1 you the cutscene where Luigi looks all distorted and weird idk it just gave me nightmares when I was younger
Can you do a rank of every Bowser Jr. fight?
The scariesr boss for me in LM3 is Clem, he's country and he's crazy, if you've seen Bunny Massacare then this guy will give you a terrifying vibe.
9:20 To be Honest, I would have expected these 3 to be more like Morty in that there goal was to Entertain others so I was surprised that they were actually Hostile.
The baby Chauncey has a war cry before you fight him. It sounded like he was saying my name “ADAM ADAM ADAM” My 5 year old self had to turn the game off.
Ug is not “spooky” The first time I did that boss battle, I was scared
I don't have aracniphobia,but when the spiders crawl on the screen in 3d it's scary
20:19 is it me or does Nana sound like Gruntilda from Banjo-Kazooie?
The twins are actually a reference to Henry Ford (the kid in the car) and Orville Wright (the kid in the plane).
Chauncey number one. He "was born a ghost", aka died as a baby I believe, is cited as being scarier than his elder siblings by his parents, and actually has the power to do serious harm to you unlike Sue Pea. He is a Boss Ghost after all.
King boo in 3 literally surpasses every ghost in terms of scariness (apart from captain fishhook). His glowing purple eyes unsettle me the more I look at it, his fangs look more creepy, and his evil glare makes me wet my pants.
When I was younger like 5-6 ish I couldn’t even watch the some of the battles from the first game when I would watch my friend play it and when the baby battle happened I had to leave the room and hide…. That baby’s cry still makes my blood run cold
I haven’t played the game but I’ve watched a ton of Playthru’s and the cat gave me nightmares the way become so scary just like yikes
That cat is nightmare fuel - and her owner is too.
As a kid I actually found the buff ghost in LM1 scary like first I just found his voice weird and unsettling but then when I triggered him I didn’t know what to do as he comes flailing his arms at me. What’s worse if you leave the room he’s stays in that angry state. It’s obvious what you had to do but as a kid I was scared. I thought the grandma was creepy too and dont get me started about the butler screaming down the hall.
You should probably make a boss ranking list of toughest bosses of all time of Luigi's mansion part 2 HD
My younger self would say the bats from the intro scene in Luigi’s mansion 2
Supi is honestly more sad than scary
25:52 bro predicted caseoh
I remember when I was first playing luigis mansion 3 the first trapper ghost in the green house part scared me
The baby scared me so much as a kid when it started crying
I feel like luigis mansion 1 has some of the most memorable, but I have no clue if that's from game design or just the fact I've seen/played several playthroughs of it, meanwhile I've only played dark moon and 3 once
Even then, not even the Top Tier Ghosts are scary compared to the Cheep-Chomp
