Going back to SCP-173, which is all the more terrifying because you canвЂ™t fight back, you can see why the gatherers in the first Amnesia game are freaky. You donвЂ™t notice the cries for help at first, but the moment you pause, put your gun down and listen to them, you realize that this could be you. They have to try and kill you, but they want you to kill them first. As these monstrous, vicious creatures lunge at you, they attempt to communicate.

The hybrids were once crew members of the ship and you can find their thoughts and final words scattered throughout the levels. You know whatвЂ™s even scarier? Being constantly on guard and feeling conflicted about it. You know whatвЂ™s scary? Getting trapped on a spaceship where youвЂ™re under the control of an evil A.I. Hers is a song that you canвЂ™t get out of your head, one that might cause you to freeze up if you heard it out of game. SheвЂ™ll jump on you, chase you without falling to any obstacles, and continue to claw at you until her (or your) final breath. You canвЂ™t make any noise around her or sheвЂ™ll go on the attack.

She doesnвЂ™t die as easily as the others, her tune is a combination of wailing moans and haunting, operatic screams, and, worst of all, she forces you to stop shooting. If you listen closely enough you can shoot in that general direction and successfully avoid getting your insides torn out. Each of the special infected has its own score to let you know when theyвЂ™re near. One of the places where Left 4 Dead 2 excels is in its music. All you can do is make sure you donвЂ™t blink. It looks like a giant gingerbread man covered in vomit, so itвЂ™s inherently disturbing in that regard, but when you realize what it can do, how you canвЂ™t face it without instant death, it becomes the stuff of nightmares. SCP-173, the highlight of the freeware game SCP Containment Breach, might be the most terrifying creepypasta because everything about it is just a tad bit off. You canвЂ™t blink, you canвЂ™t look away, and most importantly, they are fast. They go against basic human reflexes and use that to their benefit. SCP-173 is scary in the same way that the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who are scary. Silent Hill 2 is about coming face to face with what Sunderland has been avoiding the whole game and in the end, you have to face what ends up being an amalgamation of every creature youвЂ™ve defeated. Mary was his wife, one that he ultimately betrayed. James Sunderland has to defeat Pyramid Head in order to quell his ingrained aggressiveness and violent masculinity but the real inner demon he has to face is Mary, the true final boss. You thought I was going to pick Pyramid Head, didnвЂ™t you? Pyramid Head is beloved for a reason, but heвЂ™s more intimidating than scary, and sadistic to an almost exaggerated manner. SheвЂ™s grotesque, filled with anger and best of all, seems to appear at any time, from the window to the balcony to-oh god sheвЂ™s behind you right now! 8.

Before you even run into her the first time, you get the feeling like youвЂ™re being watched by the people in the portraits scattered about the house. ItвЂ™s effective horror on its own even without the fear of running into Lisa. Based on a single hallway that warps slowly and the appearance of randomness, P.T. is, but the Silent Hills demo has already proven itself to be something of a phenomenon. This is low on the list just based on how new P.T. Even if you are one of the worldвЂ™s greatest superheroes, you still might get this overwhelming feeling of dread if he reaches up from the water and grabs the Titan serum at the end of the game. Killer Croc is the only villain in the game you canвЂ™t take in a fight and thatвЂ™s because heвЂ™s gigantic, stealthy and murderous. What happens when you have to face him yourself? Killer Croc hides in the sewers of Arkham Asylum, lurking underneath the water ready to grab you as you try and find pieces of an antidote for the Titan serum. HeвЂ™s not too terrible in the comics or the cartoons, but thatвЂ™s because you get to watch Batman defeat him again and again. You can have your survival horrors and zombie apocalypses: nothing in games will ever freeze me faster than Sinister bellowing, вЂњBeware! I live!вЂќ- Garrett Martin 10. When that evil living robo-planet first awakes, stifling my Defendery, Asteroidal shoot-out, IвЂ™m reminded of the inevitability of death, the sad joke that is our own existence. If you ever ventured into an arcade in the 1980s you know that videogames will never be more frightening than Sinistar.
