Top 10 Scariest Bad Guys in Video Games

Slender Man (Slender: The Eight Pages)

"Don't look, or it takes you." Boom... Boom... "Follows." Boom... Boom... "Always watches, no eyes." Leave me alone! Help me! No, no, NO, NO!
Can you feel your hands shaking? Your pulse accelerating? Do not turn back. He likes to sneak in the dark. He's here for you. You will lose faith and hope. If you believe in him, he will exist - only for you and the others. So he will show himself, play a game with you. You will struggle, but he won't let you go, and you will die slowly.
Wow! What a character this Slender Man is! In The Eight Pages and The Arrival, the thing I liked the most was the atmosphere created by the music.

Of course this guy is #1. That's one of the worst things about TheTopTens. The #1 spot is always an obvious and stereotypical choice from its category.

Pyramid Head (Silent Hill 2)

Nemesis (Resident Evil)

This guy chases you throughout the entire game. He can run while carrying a bazooka, and bits of his face are peeling off. Oh my god.

So scary that I shrieked for the ambulance.

Mad Piano (Super Mario 64)

What the hell is this? Why did it scare me every time? Why doesn't it die, and why does it do so much damage?

Just walking around.
Mario: Lalalala, oh look, a piano!
goes near it
Piano: kills Mario
Mario: What was that-a!?

Oh my god, I first encountered this when I was six and nearly crapped myself.

Regeneradores (Resident Evil 4)

Failed science experiments - that concept alone makes these monsters nightmares. The worst thing about them is that they have defenses like a Shuckle. They move like they have no bones, and they were human test subjects. Someone get me a sick bucket.

One of the key elements in making a monster scary is deciding how they move. One of the scariest things about the Regenerators is how they move. They wobble, jitter, twitch, punch, and they were also REALLY hard to kill. They were definitely one of the scariest moments in video games.

Blood Crawler (Terraria)

Wall Creeper (Terraria)

Giygas (EarthBound)

Giygas, also called Giegue, is the main antagonist in the video games EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound.

He is an alien being with immense psychic power who opposes the main characters in both titles. His presence influences many of the events in the games, making him one of the most iconic... read more

The Fetus theory and the childhood shock experienced by the creator of Earthbound make this thing a nightmare for many kids. And the music...

Just look at his face - if you can even call it that.

This guy is the scariest childhood trauma fetus of all time EVER! (Easily.)

Alma Wade (F.E.A.R.)

Alma Wade is a major antagonist and key figure in the F.E.A.R. series of first-person shooter horror video games by Monolith Productions. She was introduced in the original F.E.A.R. game released in 2005. The series revolves around the mystery surrounding Alma and her powerful psychic abilities, which... read more

The Hunter (Dead Space)

This guy doesn't just want to kill you - he wants to tear you to pieces. He chases you relentlessly and has only one weakness: rocket blasts.

?

The Master (Fallout)

?

Legion (Castlevania)

Twin Victims (Silent Hill 4: The Room)

They're babies on arms that point at you. That is all.

Necromorphs (Dead Space)

Mimi (Super Paper Mario)

MIMI takes the form of a little girl, and when she's angry, it's not pretty. She starts cracking her head around and transforms into a spider with her body dangling below her upside-down head.

I freaked out the first time I saw her transform.

Jungle Creeper (Terraria)

Black Recluse (Terraria)

Haunter (Pokémon)

Haunter, known in Japan as Ghost, is a dual-type Ghost and Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It evolves from Gastly starting at level 25 and evolves into Gengar when traded. Haunter is known for its ghostly appearance and mischievous behavior.

This guy licks you, and you shake until death comes. This has never happened in the games, but the concept is still creepy and gross. It lands him a spot on the list.

Headcrabs (Half-Life)

This scared me so much I peed my pants when it attacked me. They try to get on top of your head to turn you into a zombie, but they are easy to kill.

Big Daddy (BioShock)

These guys are horrifying to look at!

Dormin (Shadow of the Colossus)

The Suicider (Dead Island)

Sander Cohen (BioShock)

His masterpiece is made from dead splicers! And if you shoot them, they bleed. Ugh...

Apart from the puppy audio file and, of course, the amazing plot twist, his masterpiece is the third most shocking thing in Bioshock. It seriously had me like 0_____0...

Big Sister (BioShock 2)

Chris Walker / The Walrider (Outlast)

Chris Walker and the Walrider are two different entities. If you meant that they're equally scary, that's acceptable.
Chris Walker - He's a tall, buff, insane military police officer. He grabs you by the neck and rips your body from your head, rather than vice versa.
The Walrider - This thing is invincible. It is just a swarm of nanites that can go inside a human (if controlled by another) and tear them apart from the inside! THAT'S scary!

Enderman (Minecraft)

They're peaceful mobs until you look at them. They teleport to you, they're so strong, and they make uncomfortable noises. There's just one thing that I don't like - they're a rip-off of Slenderman.

Discovering Endermen late at night can be an unsettling experience. If you provoke an Enderman, it will stand still, staring at you with an evil gaze. With its trembling, gaping mouth, the Enderman will emit a long, loud, unsettling scream. It's enough to make you want to piss yourself!

When you kill them, they emit a loud screaming noise...

Freddy Fazbear (Five Nights at Freddy's)

Freddy Fazbear (originally known as Freddybear, as seen in the Kickstarter) is one of the four main antagonists of Five Nights at Freddy's. He later appears in various forms across the succeeding games. Freddy is a haunted animatronic bear who plays a central role in the franchise's horror-themed narrative... read more

I don't know why people like Foxy so much. This guy is the ultimate!
