Top 10 Scariest Moments in Gaming

I played this part at about 8 at night, home alone and in the dark. That was a good scare. All in all, I see why BioShock is one of the best games ever. I can't wait for BioShock Infinite.

This game is messed up, just another part of the crazy bad guys.

Glad to know there's a jump scare! I'll be playing this game soon...

It took me four attempts to get to this part... I ran out of ammo. Hint to players: Don't run out of ammo! If you do, you're friggin' screwed. Also, how is the drain part of L4D: The Passing not on the list?

I remember pausing the game, rubbing my hands on the couch just to remove the sweat, and repeating this every 2 minutes. One of the greatest video game characters. The game came out of nowhere, and the developer was unheard of prior to that.

I swear I could hear the Jaws theme song playing in my head when I got to this part of the game.

Words cannot describe how fast my heart was thumping during this agonizing 20 minutes.

Really scary. Scary in Manhunt, and scary as a myth in GTA San Andreas.

I was playing Soul Silver, and I went to the Pokémon graves and talked to a guy, then saved and turned off the DSi. When I came back, it had crashed permanently. The people at GameStop said it couldn't be fixed. True story.

I don't know why, but whenever I listen to Lavender Town at night, I always feel like something is behind me.

I can't listen to the music without feeling sick to my stomach.

Never play this game in the dark. Ever. It's a little better with a friend, except when you encounter the mannequins. "Laugh out loud, you know it would be funny if we went around and whacked all the mannequin heads and arms off." *whack* (a person falls to the ground dead). O-O "Well, there goes my need to go to the bathroom."

I was constantly on edge, not knowing which mannequins were alive and which ones weren't. Also, the creepy teleporting mannequins made me pee in my pants.

As if mannequins weren't creepy enough, when one of them actually attacked, it was scary as hell.

I just wasn't expecting it... Like, at all. It scared the hell out of me, especially since this game required a lot of observation and concentration.

This game was masterful in its design, and that couldn't be more clear than in the stupid bathtub scene.

I never expected to find a screamer in a video game. I believe it was Eternal Darkness that changes the volume on your TV. The bathroom scene, though.

You walk into the morgue and hear strange noises and doors opening and closing. You leave the room, then go back in - three body bags on a table. One contains Bruce's mother, the other his father, and of course, you guessed it - the Scarecrow. Try playing this scene in pitch black when you're 9 years old!

From the moment you see him gas the doctors to when he drags Gordon out of your sight and kills him, screaming. I played this in the dark with the sound cranked up, but I only managed to beat it by turning the sound off.

I saw it on YouTube, and it freaked me out. I once played it on someone's iPad, found a paper with a man in the forest, and wondered: who is he? Then I realized Slender Man was going to get me, so I quit. I didn't even try to find all the pieces of paper.

Can't believe no one has mentioned this yet. Most games don't scare me, but the atmosphere, creepy camera effects, and sounds scared me so badly that I still haven't gone back to try the game a second time.

This is the 4th scariest thing after the mannequins in Condemned, that massive head in Silent Hill 4, and the bathtub in Eternal Darkness.

It was the first appearance for all, and the last for many.

It was hilarious when that one guy punched through his computer screen when the face popped up.

That is the face of Regan MacNeil, you know, the scary demon-possessed girl from The Exorcist.

Once you see him coming down the hall, you only have 1 second to close the door. So, remember, whenever you see the curtains open at Pirate's Cove, shut the door.

I was playing the game and checking the cameras. Then Foxy came out of nowhere and scared me so bad.

It's really terrifying when he rushes down the hall because it basically signifies your death.

I kind of expected that it would be dark and frightening, with ninjas running around in the shadows, but I didn't expect horrifying zombies, torture devices, a ghost ship, and molester mummies.

This place is just way too scary to be in an E-rated game. Redeads, Wallmasters, Bongo Bongo, and that ghost ship... but the scariest thing in that place has to be Dead Hand.

Dead Hand and the ReDeads were the scariest enemies in there for me. Also, the soundtrack.

This is supposed to be a kids' game. I was going to jump on a piano, and then it turned out to have teeth. I was about to jump right into its mouth.
