I know lists aren’t your favorite things to post, but you both are so good at them! Excellent work!

[@ratpackcass]

Hessed3712 from what they said in the odd podcast and stuff I don’t think it’s that they don’t like them, they just weren’t really given any creative freedom with them when they were at what culture and now they can have that they enjoy making them

[@mattball8622]

That piano fucked me up as a kid. Peter's right, the early days of 3D gaming were bloody terrifying.

[@zimmygirl777]

"Of course not. That white hand on your shoulder is not real." Glob dang it, Danny! He's everywhere.🙀👻

[@wallof52s50]

I'm always unnerved/depressed by the more recent (though less infamous) Pokemon example of the little ghost girl at the Trainer School in Ultra Sun/Moon. You spend the whole time with her dispelling creepy rumors that the school is haunted, then it turns out that, by all appearances, a Drifloon snatched her away a while back.

[@espurious]

I once saw Peter's bibbley jiblets. My life hasn't been the same since

[@deathwatch2123]

Scandal pending

[@aconeglio]

The moon you're referencing isn't in Hyrule. Absolutely agree with it though.

[@komplex8091]

Acoustic_Kitty true it’s in termina

[@SpaceMissile]

@@komplex8091 fan theory: termina is Link's purgatory in a timeline where he is defeated by Ganon in Ocarina of Time. "Game Theorists" has a youtube vid about it. really fun watch

[@komplex8091]

@@SpaceMissile developers disproved that theory. They said Link is not dead.

[@SpaceMissile]

@@komplex8091 okay i'm reading this zeldadungeon article and i'm more-informed, albeit a little disappointed that the magic is gone like a burst bubble. lol i really liked that theory. 🙃

[@komplex8091]

@@SpaceMissile the reason is not canon is because at the end of Majora’s Mask he goes back into the lost woods and gets lost turning him into a stalfos. He’s the stalfos that you see in twilight princess making it the third game in this series of events.

[@feathertopDT]

Number 1. the spider incident

[@emilykatealice]

Mad Monster Mansion from Banjo Kazooie! I had to get my mum to do the part where you shoot eggs into the flower vases. The headstones chasing you and the creepy “Thaaaaaank yooooouuuu” terrified me.

[@MasterCrumble]

I wish one of these Top 10 videos (or "Worst Games") got about 1 million views. I very much want Triple Jump to evolve and improve... also for them to be financially viable! Holy shit, the Psychonauts spookems. I was trying to forget that one!

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

I'll say, the introduction of Mimikyu in Sun/Moon made me crap my spine out cause I hadn't played previous games, so I had no idea there was a "weirdass ghost impersonating a Pikachu" Pokemon when I started following the little fella into a haunted house, so when I looked down and this horrid little ghost thing shrieked, "LOOK AT ME!!!" or whatever it was.

[@nicolevarnam2193]

Awesome video tiny Pete! Luv all Urs and Ben's videos! Been watchin yall since that company that won't b named and subbed to both Vidiots and Triple Jump! Keep up Awesome work!! Luv Yall, My Dudes!!

[@Kerfufflefuf]

Holy crap Dead Hand! Okay, so just for frame of reference, I never had a Nintendo system as a kid. My cousin got a GameCube when it was on its way out the door and the Wii was making some serious waves. He borrowed a copy of Ocarina of Time for the GameCube (the one with Masterquest ie. the greatest preorder bonus of all time) and we played it when I was sleeping over at his house. We were both 11 at the time, it was past midnight and we were determined to make our way through the Bottom of the Well. The entirety of that dungeon unnerved us both, but when we actually encountered Dead Hand we were absolutely terrified! That thing still creeps me out to this day.

[@komplex8091]

Glad you guys mentioned dead hand but if you dig deeper into the location that he’s in it’s a torture chamber... in a rated E/pegi 3 game!

[@sessalprumps7344]

Poor Henry.

[@dalekplatypus]

F in the chat for Henry. F.

[@dylanogg347]

You gotta give Andross credit. His face, head and presumably his skull completely combust and break away after being fired upon by lasers several times in sequence. And what does he do first? Make a beautiful pun: "Only I have the brains to rule Lylat!"

[@Wyrd22]

You forgot the Submerged Castle from Pikmin 2! The soundtrack and water wraith monster hunting you after a certain time limit made that cave the stuff of nightmares

[@bluenerdlabs6158]

Great list. Thanks!

[@RoughThief]

I absolutely loved the N64 Zelda games but they were seriously terrifying to my teenage self. Raccoon city has nothing on the sublime horror of Hyrule.

[@jamestree3237]

Haven't watched yet, but I wonder if Eely Mouth's Dentist will be on here, thing gave me nightmares for years.

[@Macephtopheles]

"The idea that it's vast emptiness can hide a multitude of enormous, horrifying monsters." Is that 'Schrodinger's Sea' theory..? It's both empty and inhabited until we know?

[@speedwaynutt]

I'm late because I had to gain the courage to watch this.

[@qT_p13]

I watch this and got a recommendation for a hat films video of gmod ttt featuring the vidiots!

[@Resimaster]

Good list. What's the background music please?

[@Mikebumpful]

Re: Minecraft - My kids are still scared that Herobrine is going to show up in their map...

[@bensonsj98]

"Spookems"

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

I love the original Spider-Man game on PS one to the point where I literally bought it on Dreamcast and N64 as well and I got to say monster off is one of the coolest and creepiest things and I wish it was part of the official Canon and made an appearance in a movie or TV show.

[@cordodaartist7131]

Monster ock damn near killed me at 5 years old

[@zuhair32]

Good stuff guys

[@zlotegrzyby]

It's great that kids can buy video games with sticky hands full of polish money :)

[@bridgetmistryable]

Some of these games were released before The ESRB introduced the rated E10+ (Everyone 10 and up) rating in 2005 possible because of Lego Star Wars The Video game in 2005 which is the one only focusing on the prequels even though the game was rated E (For Everyone) it had tons of moments were your Lego character or the bad guys get killed and crumble in Lego pieces and some death too intense for a rated E game

[@reeebvc]

I was always terrified of the shark in the Kristy Krab in Spongebob Squarepants: Curse of the Flying Dutchman

[@KatiePole]

Another fantastic list boys

[@Mammutidae]

That Spider-Man one was terrifying as a kid.

[@Banaanivatkuli]

I think Super Mario 3D Land and another recent Mario game had a really scary secrets too: in one of the boo mansion level, waiting at a preciae time left on the timer, a white face with black eyes and mouth looks at you for a few second and then leaves. I watched a video of that and the Galaxy watchers as a kid and coudn't sleep for a week. Innocent games I played had alien monster watching my every move from shadows?

[@pundertalefan4391]

I really want to play ecco the dolphin. It looks great. Even with H.R. Giger alien. XD

[@MikeSpohnTheSEJ]

Holy shit, Monster Ock STILL scares me...

[@trippyboi91]

Bro, ive NEVER finished a Mario game because they like to scare the shit out of you for some damn reason....

[@zachwise476]

When I grow up I want to be a Blitzball

[@Dunseith27]

I'll always remember that piano

[@dylanogg347]

Ah, the Gibdo finds its way to poor Tiny Peter once again.

[@prostakuk]

fistful of grosz, what with this and the Rambo game you guys are really representing Poland lately, we thank you

[@mikemaldonado9960]

lmao "monster ock"

[@RicPendragon]

"Hyrule" shows Termina

[@Squeesher]

Anyone else just want to hear Peter say "Super Paper Mario" some more?

[@Stusims1983]

I watched this when it came out and I’ve not come off the toilet yet. #spookumsanddominosequalsdiarrhea

[@baffledbrandon3132]

Wjo else had nightmares for months on end because of Monster Ock?

[@SirAsdf]

1:08 why is the word "Fire" on that truck spelled backward?

[@finlaycarver1667]

So it can be read in a rear view mirror

[@DiegoRYT]

@@finlaycarver1667 am guessing his a Kid

Double Jump not Triple Jump

[@alex31721able]

The first two zelda entries didn't happen in hyrule

[@steakcrust558]

lavender town is what MADE pokemon red and blue. it was dope it WAS NOT scary. at all. but that damn super mario 64 piano sacred the crap out of me. but thats a jump scare and I was 5.

[@torgregory1254]

4 comments but KZbin registers 2 fix yourself fools

[@ArmadaAmbience]

I'm a real stickler Meeseeks. Hyrule is not the setting of Majora's Mask.

[@sirprintalot]

man the huge Mario section in the middle almost made me click off and miss the bit about Spiderman PS1!

[@jamesmeppler6375]

Lavender town wasn't terrifying...I was 11 when I first played. Nothing scary here....
