I will say by far the most creepiest (not only scary but extremely creepy) videogames I have played so far is:

Call of Cthulhu - Dark corners of the Earth
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl

1/8/2009 10:36:42 AM

I thought that fear was pretty creepy

1/8/2009 11:01:14 AM

the original Heretic with sound turned on!
They Hunger mod for HL1
Bioshock intro

1/8/2009 11:21:19 AM

Any of the Fatal Frame games, only video games to actually creep me out after I shut it off. Also System Shock had some extremely creepy sound effects.

Intro cutscene for Super Metroid.

1/8/2009 12:15:15 PM

The original Silent Hill was very creepy for its time.

1/8/2009 12:34:42 PM

STALKER in the underground labs was extremely creepy.

Bioshock, some of the early levels were also.

1/8/2009 12:48:25 PM

F.E.A.R.

1/8/2009 12:59:22 PM

Blood

1/8/2009 1:07:14 PM

hell yeah, fatal frame games give me the willys when i'm playing them

1/8/2009 1:09:30 PM

Fallout 3 with the atmosphere, land expanse, and overall appearance of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. would have made it much, much better.

1/8/2009 1:24:00 PM

Resident Evil REmake was pretty creepy

I second the Fatal Frame series. That, Silent Hill, and I'll admit Dead Space even had some moments in there too.

1/8/2009 4:18:54 PM

NIGHT TRAP

1/8/2009 4:20:12 PM

probably FEAR, but as someone mentioned, the intro to bioshock was also pretty intense.

1/8/2009 9:52:40 PM

Yeah, at the beginning of Bioshock I was scared to swim out in the water as far as I could go, LOL.

1/8/2009 10:21:05 PM

Bioshock stayed creepy for me until i finally 'died', and then I realized that I could probably just get the wrench and repeatedly hit/respawn/hit things until they died.

but the cat's cradle(?) in thief 3 was pretty

Earthworm Jim
Ecco The Dolphin (and tides of time)

[Edited on January 9, 2009 at 12:19 PM. Reason : the original sega ones, i dunno about the others]

1/9/2009 12:16:40 PM

No condemned votes yet? I never played 2, but the images that would flash on the screen while playing 1 were just disturbing...especially the mannequins

1/9/2009 12:56:54 PM

SYSTEM SHOCK 2

I was actually pretty scared playing the Forest Temple in Legend Of Zelda, Ocarina

Creepiest level ever, Holy Shit. The Shalebridge Cradle is a huge well designed haunted asylum/children's hospital that was abandoned and derelict for a long time. The first half you go through without seeing any monsters and the whole time your freaked out, like bad. The guys who made it must be demented because they succeeded in making the best atmosphere for a poltergiest I have ever seen in a video game. doesn't even begin to explain it.

This is the part I pretty stopped progressing in the game. Had to invert the colors so it can be seen since Theif is such a dark contrasted game it wont show up off a printscreen pic. Like I said, you get through the first part of the cradle without seeing anything so much as a rat crawling across the floor, till you open this one door and all hell breaks lose.

1/9/2009 1:41:45 PM

^I came into this thread specifically to mention the Shalebridge Cradle.

The best part is not the enemies themselves... it's the fact that they could be anywhere and that any electric lights in the area flicker like crazy whenever one is nearby... and then you're just spinning in all directions hoping to see it before it sees you.

1/9/2009 2:26:23 PM

like someone said earlier, condemned was pretty creepy. especially the part in the department store that had mannequins that slowly moved towards you then turned out to be horrible hobos with plastic all over them

condemned 2 was crap though

1/9/2009 2:29:15 PM

Alien Vs Predator games were pretty creepy when you played as a marine and were walking down the dark corridors n stuff

1/9/2009 3:37:15 PM

^Amazing LAN party game. Have 1 person be an alien or a predator and the rest be marines, good times.

Pilot Wings

1/9/2009 9:40:44 PM

Thief for PC

Never been scared playing a video game until this one. Its a solitary game, not many enemies and your almost always alone in the dark. Throw in some freaky ghost that sneak up on you and this shit gets to you. Towards the end I would only play it during the day.

1/9/2009 10:08:38 PM

original half-life.

1/9/2009 10:44:53 PM

first game i ever played where i literally jumped was the dogs in the hallway in RE

you know what i'm talking about

1/10/2009 12:03:04 AM

Condemned is an intense game.

1/10/2009 12:19:10 AM

Silent Hill 1 and 2
System Shock 2

no shit. when I first played that game, coming out of the Temple of Time and finding redeads in the courtyard freaked me out enough to make me quit playing for a few months. then I got to the forest temple and it got even worse.

Today, however, it is probably my favorite level out of the entire Zelda series.

1/10/2009 9:44:00 AM

Doom 3 had some weird baby-spider things if I recall correctly.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time had some pretty creepy levels, with the Re-Deads and the Skulltullas.

1/10/2009 4:39:50 PM

few of the zones in EverQuest were really creepy. namely Unrest.

I'm Big Business and i approved this message.

1/10/2009 4:43:53 PM

^^ Remember Nek forest at night? scared the shit out of me when I was like level 10 and new to the game.

1/10/2009 8:12:45 PM

it was more creepy cuz you knew if you died it was worth probably 4 hour or more worth of grinding.

[Edited on January 10, 2009 at 8:16 PM. Reason : though seeing someone go down to a Hag from the attic was badass]

I never played the original RE but I played the remake on the Gamecube. When I got to that part I pretty much threw my Wavebird across the room because I jumped so violently.

1/12/2009 10:41:58 AM

i bought a game for PC years ago called Nocturne....at the time is was pretty damn creepy
