I took a long breather and unlocked a safe house close to where the chase starts prior to this. I waited until the chase was done, and high-tailed it to the tower. Gladly, I am at a level that with a well placed attack can kill them straight on, but back then I was terrified. I still don't go out at night, unless I have to kill a bolter. Still careful, though. I use the cloak potion, but the evolved volatile is still a problem.

[@JJ-ml7pq]

Quick note on ReDeads: - In Ocarina of Time, they are indeed wearing masks. You can don a similar mask, known as the “Spooky Mask.” It plays a part in a sidequest that eventually unlocks the Mask of Truth. - OoT ReDeads’ status as actual undead is debatable as their Trophies in Super Smash Bros Melee and Brawl both state that they’re magically-animated mannequins simply fashioned after corpses. - This, however, makes the masks creepier as they are then basically confirmed to be burial masks either way, with the obtainable “Spooky Mask” even being said to have been carved from wood sourced from a coffin.

[@killertruth186]

Also they do appear in one of the story modes.

[@EponaTrekka]

Its easy to see the misconception tho, re-dead people assumed as "Reanimated Dead" aka zombies, and they sort of go after your brains when they grab you lol, But as you stated, its "Reanimated Mannequins of corpses" lol

[@cynthricsgamingchannel9177]

Also the ReDeads in Windwaker unfortunately do not have a mask and have a scream that's infinitely worse than any other ReDead scream.

Yes, out of all of these, DL probably deserved two spots, one going to the volatile and the second going to the screamer...

The very first Resident Evil on Play Station 1. Back when you could rent games I picked it up. Tupperware party upstairs so I went down and fired it up. The moment (everyone might remember) when you go down the hall to the last bedroom and you catch a zombie chowing down on someone in the bed. When it turned around I hit the power button, ran upstairs, grabbed a beer and paced around for awhile. The company we had thought I was mental but up to that point my brain hadn't seen anything that nasty. Our brains are mush now and it takes something extraordinary to freak us out.

Don't remind me. One time I tossed a pipe bomb off into the distance to distract a horde only to have it land right next to a witch. I spent the rest of the map getting ready for the inevitable jump scare.

I still remember my first time playing through Half-Life 2 and getting to Ravenholm and hearing the howling of the fast zombies. At the time I naively thought that because I was in a room on a rooftop I was safe, until one burst through the ceiling and made me take a break for a week or two.

[@koencagurangan3256]

Multiple suggestions here for a commenter edition: 1. Weepers - Dishonored It took me so long to get over these things when i first played Dishonored, i’d always make sure to use the stop time ability just before i entered an area with weepers in it so that i didn’t have to fight those bastards- 2. Nest Keepers - Dishonored 2 While not as scary as weepers since they don’t attack, their real scare factor happens if they see you, they’ll scream and get every bloodfly in the area to sting you to death, and those things make my skin crawl...especially if they come in swarms... 3. EVERY. SINGLE. ZOMBIE. In CoD WW2’s “Nazi Zombies” multiplayer mode I remember screaming so much with my friend when we first played it together cuz of how creepy everything about the zombies were, And it got to the point where we just put the controllers down after we died and never touched that game mode again 4. Screamers - Dying Light It always took me days of mental preparation to take on the mission where you first meet one of those bastards... And the fact that it’s a CHILD just makes things worse... 5. Fallout 4 - Ghouls Specifically, the ones in Dunwich Borers, Ever since my first encounter with those things, i never went back there without Nick as my companion (or any companion for that matter...), and some heavy hitting weapons...

[@trindalas]

I was sad there wasn’t a boss fight in Dunwich Borers. Like after you go in the water filled hole and get attacked when you come back out. That would have been so much more terrifying and also awesome.
