I want to know about those moments in video games that scared you as a kid! For me, it was the first time seeing the balverines in Fable. Those werewolves still creep me out to this day. What about you?

The moment in Halo: Combat Evolved when you encounter the Flood for the first time really got to me. I was just bashing Covenant heads in with ease, but seeing those undead creatures swarm a squad of marines was horrifying. I alt-F4’d out of there as fast as I could!

Yeah! I was around 10 when I played that scene, and I remember having to stop playing altogether once I ran into the Flood. Just terrifying!

Same here! That jump scare just got me every time I saw it.

The butler in the original Tomb Raider always freaked me out! And don’t even get me started on the time I played Resident Evil on the GameCube and saw that woman scream while wielding a butcher knife—I never touched that game again after that!

I couldn’t face the bears in Tomb Raider as a kid either! That game was terrifying!

Pulling the Master Sword in Ocarina of Time and facing those creepy zombies in Hyrule was a major scare for me as a kid. The atmosphere was intense!

I felt like I was in a horror movie during that sequence!

SpookyGamer123 -

Honestly, that part is still unsettling even as an adult!

In the first Max Payne, that dream area with the fire and the crying babies still haunts me to this day. I rented it as a kid and boy, it was intense!
