There's a moment in Bioshock that I'll never forget. You walk into this relatively unassuming room with a desk in the corner that has a teddy bear to collect. You had to get right up on the desk to collect it and when I turned around there was a splicer staring me directly in the face. First moment in a video game where I nearly dropped my controller.

[@Jolis_Parsec]

Did this happen in one of the dentistry offices? If so, I’m sure that’s programmed to happen when you first enter the room and interact with the container on the opposite end of the room unless the trigger for that event somehow manages to break (i.e. The splicer in question doesn’t stand there creepily waiting for you to turn around and spot him and instead attacks you the moment he spawns into the map).

[@Mouse_Official]

I noticed this too! Super creepy

The RDR2 encounter that gave me the most chills has to be the hillbillies that show up at your campfire if you set up camp in the northeast. Afaik, there’s no other moment in the game where your campsite gets imposed upon by NPCs, so it’s REALLY jarring when they show up and it only gets creepier as they start to threaten Arthur.

[@capnkraken1514]

I am honestly more afraid of the ENTIRE region of Roanoke Ridge that I am of any Night Folk encounter. The music, the fact that you go from open plans to narrow paths, and the fact that the Murfree Brood (said hillbillies) will just be torturing some poor bastards in the middle of the night as you ride by makes my hair stand on end any time I go to that place.

I think one of the more unsettling things in Skyrim is when you're playing it in VR, and you're wandering around at night, and you see the Vigilants of Stendarr standing around. They're good guys so you just kinda walk up to them, only to see that their eyes are glowing orange, before they start attacking you because they're vampires in disguise. The reason it is creepy in VR is because you're standing face to face with them at the moment you realize they're vampires.

[@Crisjola]

That would be horrifying. I'm not someone who is afraid of spiders (at all at all) but the one thing that has put me off from playing Skyrim VR is that I just… don't want to deal with a horse sized frostbite spider, let alone two or more + a giant one.

the game Genshin Impact has quite a number of creepy places. There is this abandoned house somewhere at the mountain where the atmosphere changed immediately the moment you reached the place, turning dark even if you entered that place at night. There, there is a girl you can get a side quest from, asking you to find a book. So you have to climb up to get the book and when you tried to return the book, she just gone. The extra creepy is that if you meet a different NPC, a man, you'll learn that this man, when he was a kid, gave the book to her and later she fell into a river, drowned while not letting the book go. And then there are quests where you meet literal ghosts, and playable characters that work in funeral parlor, with one of them use a ghost to smack the enemies around...

The way he calls Kent, “sent”😭

[@HungryWarden]

Also from Breath of the Wild, is Hino. Hino seems like a pretty normal character at first. He is involved in researching the Blood Moon phenomenon. However, something really creepy that occurs with him when a Blood Moon is coming, he will go bonkers, shouting “MY BLOOD IS BOILING!” or “IT’S SO RED, SO GLORIOUSLY RED!” This is very creepy, and there are no other NPCs in the game to react so over the top and freakish than Hino. When the Blood Moon goes away, Hino will be disappointed, saying he has to wait for the next one. In Tears of the Kingdom, he returns, often found captured in a monster fortress. When you free him, he’ll explain that he was studying the monsters to find out more about the blood moon. But you have to wonder why the monsters didn’t just knock him out and celebrate in front of his unconscious body like most monsters? What made him worth taking to their layer and capturing them instead of just knocking him out? Furthermore, Hino can actually tell you IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY if a Blood Moon is going to occur later, something which cannot be predicted by the player or other NPCs. I’ve also been playing recently, and I noticed that when you free him, you can’t find him anywhere until he is captured again. You simply cannot find him anywhere else.

The Leviathan DLC in Mass Effect 3 was pretty creepy when you get the the mineral works area.

[@dissraps]

That Assassin's Creed rock one is a Stephen King short story about a guy who has to constantly count go and count rocks in a field to make sure the right amount are there otherwise an otherworldly monster will break through reality. The number of rocks fade when not counted. The story is being told by a man to a psychiatrist who eventually offs himself, causing the psychiatrist to go look at the rocks and inadvertently be turned into the new counter

[@superawesomeboy]

The inbred siblings from RDR2 also scared the shit out of me

What about the stranger in RDR 1? Asking you to do something for him but when Marston try to shot him he's just not bothered by the bullets

[@buschkoeter]

I know you

[@magnushate1488]

'Odin' from Valhalla will always take the cake for me. My dad had just died that morning the first time I saw it. I was hanging out with friends playing Valhalla to take my mind off of it, when all of the sudden there is this creepy unkillable ghost in a field that disappears before anyone else sees it.

[@badGamr]

Wow. I expected you to cover the stranger from RDR1 at a minimum...

[@chavedigital2952]

The Valhalla stones quest is insane. Even with you don't talk to him, just count a couple of times, they always count a differente number every single time, like it's insane.

[@AdityaKumar-qk9xo]

Pickman gallery does have an associated quest though, hancock gives it.

[@srellison561]

There is a quest related to the Pickman gallery in Fallout 4. If you talk to Hancock in Good Neighbor, he'll ask you to check into the Pickman gallery.

Pokémon Sinnoh region the girl that dupes you with the everstone haunter trade. Traumatized to this day.

The first encounter with Thralls in Destiny 1 was also very creepy and disturbing. You could add that in the next video

[@DeviousKitten27]

.... I really... wonder why it took me so long to notice that the clip of RDR at 6:41 wasn't John it was his son Jack 🤣 I didn't notice until he spoke 😅

"I'm sorry mister I guess I forgot I had an appointment with planet Earth" That made me laugh way more than it should have

The serial killer quest in RDR 2 was a complete surprise, when I first played it. But it added a twist to an already great game.

[@TheDrsalvation]

I remember that location in fallout 76 before the balancing patch (back when I could actually be scared of enemies above my level), and I was creeping out because I wasn't sure if a deathclaw or another new big boss would pop out

[@jimbob8088]

Man... That #9 is pretty dang close to the plot of a Stephen King short story from "Just After Sunset " , titled "N"...

[@alphaassassin120]

The guy looking for his friend on RDR2 really unsettled me for some reason every time I stumbled upon him.

[@pigeonsil240sx]

my favorite is when they do the "jaws" effect.making somthing creepy but give you little to go on so your imagination feels the blanks.this just works for creepy factor.

[@Neiljnr]

I think the horse fairy in Zelda: BOTW is the scariest thing in that game!

[@cissuperdroid]

The Hooded Woman in Toussaint kicked my ass- I was lucky to be bailed out by the Undying perk *TWICE* while fighting her, even though I knew it was a setup since it was a "Guarded Treasure" and I didn't see any obvious monsters around.

[@bobthedopeman7327]

I thought the fumes leaking from the cracks in the earth are what causes you to hallucinate the Rock encounter in AC Valhalla. But that's just me

[@samwoodley1653]

Surprised you didn't mention the Hex Maniac from Pokemon X and Y. You go into a specific office building in Lumiose City and head to a certain floor in the elevator. When you get out, the nice city music stops completely, the screen fades to black, and she appears behind you, drifts up to you and says something like "you're not the one" and then just drifts away. Fades to black again and then the game resumes like nothing happened. In Pokemon???

[@LIMPstick420]

RDR2 not being to violent.... someone didn't use dual sawed off shotguns, often . Lol

[@sub-jec-tiv]

The circle of stones is based on a Stephen King short story called N. If you’ve read the story it makes more sense. Pickman is a reference to a story by HP Lovecraft called Pickman’s Model, about a creepy painter who paints actual monsters in his studio. In both cases, these are easter eggs for people into horror books. 👀

[@omegalulzz]

Need dark mode for those transitions

Number 7 sounds a lot like diablo 3 where the farm guy has his deceased wife in the house and the head fall off..

Man Rdr2 has better horror elements than actual horror games, like it's so fricking PERFECT!
