The level from Halo where you first encounter the Flood always gave me the willies. The encounter with the crazed marine at the entrance to the facility, which seemed to contain nothing but dead covenant. Spooky.
Years later that scene still slaps. I was playing on co-op mode with my sister. The first of the Flood shows up. Pop, pop, pop we go with our SMGs. These dudes ain't shit. A glorified zit on spindly limbs. Then more show up. And more and more and more. Then it dawns on us: we have to get out and NOW before we're overrun. Omg, they're everywhere. Everywhere! I recall that very real sense of panic while clearing that level.

3:52 "John Freeman looked at road signs and saw "Ravenholm" with someons writing under it saying "u shudnt come here" so John Freeman almost turned around but heard screaming like Gordon so he went faster again."
Bit late to the party, but there is one moment that always got me, it's hearing the words "Beware, I live" while playing Sinistar, followed by your inevitable death at the hands of the titular space monstrosity.
One that always sticks out to me is Monster-Ock from Spider-Man (2000), and the subsequent chase. Where you have to stay ahead of that monstrosity in a haphazard maze, while being hounded by the haunting vocals of Dee Bradley Baker.
Nice spooky list, boyos. If you were to ever do another list with fan suggestions, I'd like to toss my hat into the ring and suggest the cutscene from Dead Rising that plays when you stay on the start menu for a while (Crash Bandicoot style). It's probably a scenario that's been done plenty of times, but speaking as someone who doesn't divulge into horror very often, it was done damn well and put me on the edge of my seat.
There's a side quest in STALKER call of pripyat where you're going through one of the abandoned labs. It's incredibly dark (even night vision doesn't help, depending on what helmet you're wearing). It's pretty standard STALKER stuff until you get to the room that holds the objective. All sounds STOP. There's nothing in the room either. This is already unnerving, but once you pick up the document, a baby starts crying.
Looking at it today, it seems ridiculous, but the first Alone in the Dark was really good. To me it felt like the 7th Guest or the 11th Hour had come to life with it's hybrid 2D/3D graphics. There was nothing like it at the time. Another time I really really felt alone was the first time you go to the X-11 lab in Stalker. I truly felt alone with the walls closing in on me. Great stuff.
OH GOD NOT SKI FREE! I just found out the other day you can actually press F to go faster to get away from the yeti. So F for all the times it got me 😔
I was convinced that I could somehow escape the skifree yeti...hang hard right or left, go straight, hit all the jumps, try and clip him into trees, probably others, it's been a while. Never managed.
Always thought Dark Souls/Bloodborne should be classified as survival horror as they all focus on animation priority, powerful enemies, and INCREDIBLY scarce/limited healing items. Just because you can walk around as an enormous, sapient, stone refrigerator, don't think that'll save you.
Thanks for the spooky, kooky video from a cupboard. Outside Xbox/Xtra use this music during their livestreams (the first one). XD Also thanks for using different music, Peter.
The first time you enter the Nursery room in 7th Guest. Listen to the music and the voice track and really start to understand what's going on in the game. The ending was pretty creepy, too, and I'll never forget the horrible maze level. Also, in Phantasmagoria..when you are running the final sequence (FMV style with janky controls) and if you get caught, some pretty horrible things happen to you. Last, but not least, Martha's Dead...pretty much the entire game, but certain parts are really disturbing (I won't spoil it here).
Huge fan of eternal darkness. That game screws with you so much. He didn't mention when the screen turns blank and says, "VIDEO", like you accidentally changed the input on your TV. Awesome
Bloodborne is an absolute masterpiece and i love seeing it on these lists. "we dont go to yharham anymore" cracked me up hah gotta say though i feel like encountering the Brain of Mensis was the creepiest part of the game
Perfect list bar one entry... Condemed..the creepy stalking manaquins that follow you, in weeping angel fashion.. Actually most of cnodemed was freaking scary.
Really could have done without the sweetly-singing ghost lady in The Evil Within 2. I shuddered every time she made her unwelcome entrances to suck out our hero's soul through his skull. Eep!
Encountering Librarians in Metro 2033. All the shooty-shooty against other mutants in the game was pretty standard, but an enemy you have to stare at rather than kill?
Outlast, Home Sweet Home, Emily Wants to Play, Resident Evil 7, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Layers of Fear, Oxenfree, amongthesleep, and Dead by Daylight. Just some suggestions before Halloween is over.

@@Dave_ja_vu I haven't either, I have seen a fair bit of it though. Wishing I can try it with VR. Yeah, most horror games lately are in first person (Oxenfree, Dead by Daylight [Survivor], and Resident Evil 2 REmake are third person).

PUBIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT! I never break eye contact with the FBI agent watching me through my phone, while I pull my pork. You read that right. It’s not a typo.
The Batman Arkham City Killer Croc Easter Egg is horrible. You're trying to go about your day, getting all fhe Riddler Trophies, your unlock the remote control Batarang then right after you hit the switch, BAM, Killer Croc just randomly busts through the wall. I completely forgot that happened from when I played the game originally so i was in for a nice shock the 2nd time through.
omg, that's what that game was called?? Ski 3 - I've played that! It must have been the first game I ever played. I think I was 4-5 years old. :O Man ! I never knew that was it's name xD Thanks! :D
Alien Isolation is the best. In my opinion, the androids are the scariest part of the game. They are so creepy, nearly impossible to kill, and attract the alien. Plus, they can be deathly silent and you'll turn around and one is standing right there. Though the jump scares from the alien do get me. Once, I was crawling through a vent, couldn't see a darn thing, so I turned on my flashlight half expecting the alien to be crawling towards me. Nothing. Just a silent empty vent. Well, I learned the hard way that day that the alien uses open vents above your head. I'm crawling along, see an opening above me, then bam! I just about threw my controller and peed myself. Took a break for a while after that.
While on my first playthrough of Eternal Darkness, I actually went to bed when the clock had read 3:33am (also had a nightmare I still remember today). Another time, the game literally went bluescreen on my friend's TV while playing and I thought it was just part of the "insanity effect". No choice but to reset the game.
I like to point this out when i have the opportunity to do so The Resident 6 logo looks like someone blowing a Man-Giraffe. Check it out and see it forever
I am more than a little sad that no one in your office picked the doll room from Fatal Frame II. Because that doll can just fuck right off... I mean really the screams me and my gf let off at when that thing came to life... we both decided to sleep with the lights on... and we were adults... grown living on own doing adult things adults... just no
I think Resident Evil 1 for the most wasn't less psychological or anxiety inducing than Silent Hill. Actually it was at least equal and it combined same level horror with better action compared to SH. You could ask the same questions in both games, and the origin of the zombies was unclear for the majority of the game, making all the creatures and events a mystery. It's too often forgotten, that it's only the end, when Resident Evil found unsatisfyingly boring answers to the mystic question. But before this end, fantasy could travel very far in this game. The house could have been cursed, it could have been an ancient horror story, some mythological or whatever stuff . Only in the end it was just a bunch of ruthless scientists and their stupid virus. Pretty dull. That's why I only like the first part of all RE games, as the great atmosphere of the first game gets demystified by it's own ending. And all later parts build on the stupid, lame virus story. Besides that, there also was the technological aspect - SH1 looked so abstract, it wasn't really convincing me as a game. The fog was way too close and the graphics where way too coarse, so there was no feeling of being in a 'real' environment to me at any time. It was more like staring at ugly dithering with too much fog, which of course only was there because the PSX didn't have enough power (or they couldn't make good use it), and not really because it made for a better experience. I think RE1 is better than SH1, because for the main part of the game (until the reasons behind all the show became clear) it combined same quality horror with somewhat better action. Only the ending and the lab part where crap. And I think only the ending is the reason why many people unjustifiedly remember RE being as less 'psycho'.

I's always strange to see people describing Alien as 'horror', as I could never perceive Alien as such. Nor the movie Neither the game.

Are there any other games that left you sleepless? Let us know!
I will say among the sleep did for a couple nights. The Evil Within 2 has a couple scary monsters when you first encounter them. 8O
That swan ride
Fatal frame and Fatal frame 2
The third stage of Dick Wars. Just the sound of Dr of CoronaCock was enough to give you nightmares .
House of Velez
The fake-out got me, even though i was expecting it, good editing boys
The level from Halo where you first encounter the Flood always gave me the willies. The encounter with the crazed marine at the entrance to the facility, which seemed to contain nothing but dead covenant. Spooky.
That is without a doubt my favorite level in all of Halo!
I stopped playing Halo for a while because of that level. Made my skin crawl for months
Years later that scene still slaps. I was playing on co-op mode with my sister. The first of the Flood shows up. Pop, pop, pop we go with our SMGs. These dudes ain't shit.

Okay, you got me. You got me good. Particularly because I had just watched a Hollow Knigh/Metroidvania video, so it fit in really well. Well done.
i agree. that was super clever
oh hey it's rythian. whatup, yog?
Idk about you lot... but I think we need a triple jump Amnesia stream.

3:52 "John Freeman looked at road signs and saw "Ravenholm" with someons writing under it saying "u shudnt come here" so John Freeman almost turned around but heard screaming like Gordon so he went faster again."
First encounter with the Reaper Leviathan behind the Aurora crash site beats some of these entries. Subnautica can be uniquely uncomfortable at times
Quarter-Life 4 killed me... well done
Thank you for posting on halloween. 😊
Bit late to the party, but there is one moment that always got me, it's hearing the words "Beware, I live" while playing Sinistar, followed by your inevitable death at the hands of the titular space monstrosity.
This list is missing the Shalebridge Cradle from Thief: Deadly Shadows! That level is the spookiest I have ever encountered in a video game.
that mindfuck at 11.40. I was like WTF . well played...well played...
I was to scared to watch this on october 31st, so I wait until today
One that always sticks out to me is Monster-Ock from Spider-Man (2000), and the subsequent chase. Where you have to stay ahead of that monstrosity in a haphazard maze, while being hounded by the haunting vocals of Dee Bradley Baker.
Fooking love Ravenholm and the Ravenholm mod for L4D2
Dude you got me! I was like, "its only halfway through, how is it over?" haha
Running from the bear in condemned 2 is still my scariest moment in gaming.

LOL you got me with the fake end of video sceen, I already wantd to click a new video LOL

Really could have done without the sweetly-singing ghost lady in The Evil Within 2. I shuddered every time she made her unwelcome entrances to suck out our hero's soul through his skull. Eep!
Doom 64's soundtrack as a whole. I swear it left me a little dead inside.
Or the muffled screams of children in the nursery in ZombiU.
Ravenholm was my favorites part of hl2.
Lol ...11:41... I was like how the hell did 23:30 minutes go by that fast. You must be the infamous Troll King🤔
Very spoopy indeed
Alien isolation is probably the best horror game that's actually scary in the last decade.
Absolutely true. Straight up masterpiece
I literally have a save file just to play Ravenholm over and over.
You guys trigger my phone and my Nest more than any other channel by a long margine!

It's so hard to think of a good scary game. Everytime I came across one that was genuinely scary, I would nope the f out, and never play it again.
I don't think the game as a whole, has to be scary, just have moments that will make s#@t your pants.
If that's the case, the original xcom may not have made me need a change of trousers. It did give me skin crawling chills.
There were Gauntlet games on the N64 too
