[@xamp2743]

I remember in skylanders, there was a bossfight where the boss hid inside the skylander portal, meaning you had to lift your current skylander to find her. That scared the shit out of me cus she popped up on the screen as i tried switching characters. Broke the 4th wall for me

[@cameronharding2878]

[@joshuauniverse8760]

Know which boss you mean, can’t remember the name of the boss but they were basically a giant floating head of a girl with pink bows, braces, long hair and green skin. Don’t think it ever scared me but I remember playing Trap Team and managing to beat them. Game franchise was goated btw

[@ravennafrostborn5126]

I very much remember being terrified of not only one, but two bosses from the Ice Age 2 Video Game. 1. The giant ass spider boss 2. At one point in the game, you get swallowed by one of the two dinosaurs (Maelstrom I believe). You have to get out of his body, so you go through an entire level based around this, and at the very end you arrive at an arsehole basically, that has several tentacled eyeballs that you need to shoot in order to get out. I have no idea what gave them that idea for a boss.

[@xyAKMxy]

I LITERALLY SAID THAT A MOMENY AGO! The whale section was so fucking gross, I was like 10 years old at the time! 😅

[@mediawez]

I had forgotten this already, but this just reminded me of that. Ice Age games were some of my favorites back in the day but they had some really uncanny stuff.

[@BrotherSully]

Ah you unzipped me, it’s all coming back

[@kendallirving3983]

I remember playing the Madagascar (2005) for the ps2 and there was one level, the baobab tree level, where you have to clean out the tree from these parasitic worms. And the sounds they made and the atmosphere just creeped me out. Especially at the end of the level where you have yo play as Melman and avoid Alex and keep hik away from eating Mort.

[@krishnadeva9837]

oh dude i remember that, i was less spooked and more like, disgusted by all the red larva. but yeah the "avoiding alex" part is straight up unnerving. But i think by far the worst part of the game is the spider level, that is just straight up advanced arachnophobia

Something that unironically scared me when I was like 5 years old was Shadow The Hedgehog more specifically the box cover of his game and intro which is really funny looking back considering what that game was trying to do.

[@leball03]

This game traumatized me as a kid. Grew up playing it with my cousin and thought the elephants were gonna pop out and eat my ass.

[@MAGICMAN_R32]

14:23 I swear playing minecraft alone at night in my dark room and the music would make me feel lonely and also when the music stop while I'm mining at night and there would be scary sounds at random and this freaked me into a cold shiver and I always thought minecraft was just a kids game

[@justatree2681]

Okay my game that terrified me as a kid - I don't remember what it was called hopefully someone will know it. It was a scooby doo game where I think you go into a museum? There's I think an Egyptian exhibit and you have to go into it a few times to find clues. When you're in the exhibit there's a mummy that stalks you, and I think at one point you have to lure it into a sarcophagus? I have a core memory of playing that game and being terrified whenever I was in that room. To this day I wonder if it's the reason horror movies or irl stuff like haunted houses generally don't phase me, but horror games terrify me.

[@miknew20]

it's so cool to see everyone bringing up this piglet game, it was crazy when i was young. an early scary video game memory for me is the knaarens in Rayman 3. those invincible angry creatures spewing awful lines about sticking bamboo under rayman's nails and other means of torture was insane. that's a core memory for me as you're pretty damn rocking the whole game, until this point. you're sat on your ass and told you're nothing now.

[@jace_1337]

Holy heck those guys literally made me unable to progress further into the game, I was just stuck in some like cage and couldn't do anything to progress (I think you were supposed to lure them around and stuff, so you can walk past), pretty sure I actually knew what to do, but because it was just so damn scary I couldn't bring myself to play any further. I never completed the game because of that one level.

[@solarblade915]

For me it was the final level in Over the Hedge where you had to go into the exterminators base. Terrified me because it was at night and I always had a fear of someone coming out of nowhere to attack you, doesn’t help with each room a loud alarm would go off immediately which was terrifying too.

[@LeCoinCMoi]

This game legit made me learn to face my fear when I was a kid, it was legit the best horror game for me as a kid, when I completed the game I really change in some of my behavior in a good way, legit the pep talk of that the human give piglet is a little print inside me ! We hear mostly the bad/traumatized review because it what we want to search, anyway have a good day !!!

[@keiramel_]

used to play this madagascar game on the PS3 where there was a stage that requires players to play as the penguins and trying to reach the goal by avoiding detection from humans. it was super scary to me because of how large the humans were in the penguins' POV and if you get caught they literally let out a shriek and grab you

[@marshaltito7369]

I'm with you on this, that was terrifying to 5 year old me.

[@cs82271]

Grabbed by the Ghoulies was a big childhood game for me and there were several sections where severed heads on mantles would suddenly scream at you, and you'd have to complete a QTE to not lose HP. I would hide in another room during lvl2 waiting until I heard the scream to come back in and do the QTE

[@DojimaLmao]

The “Game That Shouldn’t Be Scary” situation is crazy

[@ChopSueyyy]

Just to clarify. Jumpscares dont define Horror. You can make a Horror movie without cheap ass jumpscares, just like you can make a horror game without jumpscares. Big shocker.

[@Longshanks1690]

A game that scared me is Fellowship of the Ring for the Xbox. And the moment - and I think everyone who played it will know where I’m going - is when you get caught by the Nazgul when trying to escape the shire. When one of the Nazgul catches you, there’s a sudden jump as he does a screech and a cutscene plays of the rider with him and his horse’s glowing red eyes as lightning blaring in the sky and he points his sword at you and shouts something in a demonic voice - “show me the ring!” I think, I’m not sure what he said even to this day. As I think a six year old when I first played this game, that terrified me. I had no idea about LOTR, I think the only other games I’d played at that point were the Harry Potter Xbox games, which were overall very child friendly. And so was Fellowship for the first level. The Shire was serene, idyllic, peaceful, and I don’t think I really understood what the game’s story was as I wasn’t paying that close attention. So when the night level came on, and the Nazgul were patrolling the shire, it created such a memorable uncomfortableness in me, but getting caught? That jump and cutscene traumatised me. Especially since this was a game with no autosaves, so I had to play through the whole game again. And I just remember being SO freaked out as I was replaying the happy Shire level with memories of that black rider and the dread of trying to get past him again.

[@RossDog]

When I was younger I played a game called Skyblazer (SNES 1994) the final boss in that game creeped me out. to be honest a lot of the bosses in that game were weirdly designed. I still remember finally beating the final boss and bawling my eyes out.

A game that traumatized me as as a kid was Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker, I used to play it on my dad‘s arcade cabinet in the basement and there was one specific level in that game where instead of fighting thugs like you do in the majority of the game you’re in a graveyard, fighting zombies. And since the arcade cabinet was in the basement, this terrified the shit out of me because the zombies also made horrible noises and having to play the arcade cabinet with my back to a bunch of dark rooms always made me uneasy, and I could never play it alone

[@Bextie]

There was a marvel game where in one of the chapters, you had the option to either do all the small fights that would debuff the boss, or just skip straight to the boss with all of its buffs still active, and if you skip straight to the boss you get a small bit of dialogue where he essentially says 'You're bold, but you're a goddamn idiot and we're not going to go easy on you, we're going to rip you to shreds' and that shit terrified me as a kid

[@KaftarWyvern]

14:23 When I was a kid, I played Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011. There were a couple of levels in that game that terrified me. One of them is the 2nd level called Full Moon, where you were in a cold forest alone at night, surviving from mountain lions and Wolves. The forest itself was dark, with the full moon shining over the forest covered in snow. And while you walk around in the forest, all you hear is sounds of animals making noises, Wolves Howling, and sounds that will put a chill up your spine. And to top it off with the cherry on top, the ambiant music (which they also used in the main title screen) absolutely made the level more terrifying. Oh yeah and they made the Wolves scary by darkening their fur with Dark Grey and black and made their fucking eyes glow red.

One thing that always scared and unsettled me even though it probably shouldn't is Minecraft alpha. Whenever I'd play it by myself I'd always get scared by the render distance effect of the landscape dissapearing into the fog in the distance. I also feel pretty unsettled by old game landscapes (shitty graphics and all) that are just empty. Can have the jolliest happiest vibe to it but it always unsettles me for some reason.

When I was a kid (probably around 5 or 6 years old or so), I really loved detective games and puzzle games (I probably played every 'I Spy' game from Scholastic), but my favorite ones were the Nancy Drew games released in early 2000s. I don't think I was ever spooked by any of those games quite as much as I was by the 'Nancy Drew: Message in the Haunted Mansion'. It's rated E for Everyone, but the music there, the old style of the house, the empty halls, the occasional 3D models of people that looked so out of place and moved unnaturally... really creeped me out. The game didn't really have "jumpscares" from what I remember, but sometimes things would move randomly, or you'd hear strange whispers, or a phone would ring, and when you picked it up, some garbled speech came through... I remember that the only time I shut down a game out of fear when I was a kid was when I played this game for the first time, and at one point a wooden statue of a swan nodded its' head in the corner of my screen. I could've expected anything from a game called 'Message in the Haunted Mansion', but somehow a moving decoration scared me the most. I stopped playing that game for a month before I could come back to it. I really want to revisit it now, if any games have that 2000s nostalgia, it's the early Nancy Drew games

[@doriangrabowski6942]

14:25 The Neverhood. '96 claymotion point-and-click adventure video game. There was a moment when you have to spin a mysterious music box a couple of times, just for a monster to break a wall behind it and start chasing you. Most terrifying moment of my life at the time.

[@hnaw1360]

Kinda funny to think about but the movie its based off of is kinda depressing too for somerhing meant to be based off of a kids thing like Winnie The Pooh. With Piglet feeling like he has zero self worth because of his size and disappearing leading to everyone going through his scrap book to try and track where he went. Slowly realizing through each memory just how taken for granted he was ending in a surprisingly sad scene of Pooh desperately trying to save Piglet's scrapbook and nearly dying because he wants to show that he cares about Piglet and doesn't want something he worked so hard on to be destroyed because of them. Its not like The Happy Little Toaster levels but man that movie could get sad. Thats not even mentioning the Tiger movie about feeling alone in the world and completely isolated because he has no family. Why tf does Winnie The Pooh media go into such weirdly dark themes lmao.

I remember playing Super Mario 64 DS a lot as a kid (literal 5 year old) and I was absolutely terrified of Jolly Roger Bay in that game. The deep, dark waters made me feel really uneasy and scared me so much that I pretty much got every other star except for the ones in that level. I think that experience has manifested into me being scared of the deep ocean irl lol. Btw Mr Cynical, PLEASE make more videos like this. They may not get as many views as the daily drama slop, but they are actually on an interesting topic that people (including yourself) seem to care about. I can see that this is something you genuinely want to talk about, and that shows in your commentary and how you relate your personal experiences to the game. Much love man.

I used to watch "Macko Uško" all the time on the TV when I was little. There was this episode called "Zlý deň" where the main character went into a forest at night and got lost.

[@BouncyBear]

I remember playing a dog's life, and getting to the last level, and absolutely shitting myself. Keep in mind that up until then it was poop and fart jokes, sexual innuendos that go completely over your head, doing dog stuff, sniffing smells, getting bones etc. etc. When you enter the last level, sky? blood red, music? foreboding, this distorted mansion towering over the entire level, cages with dogs, that shit was mortifying.

For whatever reason, the intro for Tomb Raider 2 for the PS1 make me feel so scared that whenever I was gonna play with my dad, I had to leave the room in order to not cry due to how frightening it was. The game by itself scared me from time to time but the intro was too much man ☠️ It had a dragon or something and I remember it was very dark and eery (mainly because of the PS1 graphics).

[@lauraluna5117]

I played Ghostbusters on Wii at age 9 or 10, and there were understandably some things that got to me as a kid. But the dumbest thing that got to me the most instead of all the monsters and creepy environments was a crate around 20-30 minutes into one of the levels. It had something inside trying to bust out, and I was shitting myself thinking that whatever was inside was a bigger and more horrific enemy than the entire room of wraiths I just exterminated or any of the other encounters earlier in the stage. I had to take 10 minutes to take a breath and psych myself up to face whatever was in the box, and it was just a human NPC that got stuffed inside and needed help.

[@error_idiot8329]

I had "Titanic: Adventure out of Time" as a kid on the PC and despite not at all being a horror game walking around some of the darker hallways and seeing characters in the distance, or worrying that one would appear, absolutely terrified me.

[@filipbabela1822]

Monster house on PS2 scared the shit out of me. The living furniture was shaped in a really creepy way and i was especially scared of the pipes and the TV that walked on the ceiling. It was a horror game for kids, it was not trying to hide that fact, but it still scared me a lot and I still remember the feelings I had when playing the game as a kid. Since then I have beaten it once as a circa 15 year old and replayed the first part of it like a year ago when i was 20. But my first experience was when i was around 7-9 years old.

[@myhairisverypoofy7741]

I played a blues clues computer game on the pbs kids website. I believe it was called Blue's Clues: Ghost Hunt. Basically you play hide and seek with a bunch of ghosts in a haunted house and you find them by tracking their footprints on the floor. I remember the music making me uneasy, and the sudden shift when you'd find a ghost. The fact that the game had a timer counting down too only added to the stress.

[@yaboi832]

In thrillville off the rails (goated game i know) the mini game ‘sparkle island’ always brought me sm dread when that freaky ass floating head thing would randomly appear and hunt you down when you’re trying to save as many chick babies as you can- the noise that would play specifically creeped me out ALWAYS

[@AzraelSoulHunter]

To answer your question at the end. Steppenwolf. Specifically 12th installment. A series of flash games with a surprisingly GREAT story which is about monsters being hunted and samples of their dna being collected, secret organizations and twists. All that good stuff... Not all in le head though. There were several story arcs over the course of few games and the one that absolutely terrified me was 12th one. There is a strange, white wendigo like creature that hunts you throughout the level and you have to run and get all the items and repel it or it will murder you. You had to go into the inventory and use a flashlight before it could as it appeared on the screen for a few seconds as it was about to pounce you and that absolute terrified me as a kid when I played them. I could now finish all of them and probably 12th one if I could, but I will never shake off that fear of this thing. Genuinely scary and to this day I hate things that are quick and erratic. I guess maybe they remind me of the dot on the minimap (which was the monster) just jumping all over the place.

[@tend_o]

If anyone else remembers, there was this level in Epic Mickey at the end when you go inside the giant ink blot. And as you're running around, there's ink-blot versions of characters you'd see in overworlds but as enemies. And they looked half melted and moved around so unnaturally. If you tried to run past them they'd limp over to you faster than you could run and gang up on you. Going back now it wasn't that scary but I died to them once and didn't touch that game for like a week. Terrifying as a child.

[@Murtally]

When I was young I loved playing Spyro on PS1, but was terified of falling out of the map. There was this feeling of just falling into the void that scared me as a kid. But the real trauma I had is playing 'Scary Maze' because my brothers told me to play it, and were standing behind me encouraging me to go on. I know I should expect it back then, but I was a kid and they were keep telling me 'See, there's nothing scary in this game' that made me continue. Was crying like crazy after that.

[@CurryTheBunVT]

Honestly, a moment in a game that scared the hell out of me or just made me regret making it that far was the Bayou in Sly Cooper 1. It's filled with dark lighting, ambient music, Ghosts that follow you and unendingly spawn from graves. Spiders that dangle and intentionally jumpscare the player, and a wooden creature that splits into 2 when you hit it. I dreaded to ever come back to that level when I was a kid.

[@Tomahawkklein]

I used to be deathly afraid of the ocean when I was a kid, and while I was playing Donkey Kong 64, there is a boss fight against a big puffer fish where you are inside a tiny boat, when I saw that and the game gave me control of the character I just hit the power button as fast as I could and went off to do something else. I also almost always would have a mini panic attack whenever the shark spawned in Banjo and Kazooie

my horrifying gaming moment of my childhood were: - metroid prime 1 on the gamecube: the room where you get the thermal visor is a tall cylinder shaped room, where the item is at the very bottom. when you finally unlock the visor, all lights go off and you HAVE to use the new thermal visor, making every enemy and thermal source visible and fight a good chunk of enemies. the combination of the light going out and having to fight while using thermal vision, which i have never really seen before. was terryfying.. i died for the first time in the game during this encounter and didnt turn the game on for 2 weeks. - the final boss of Mario & Luigi: Partners in time on the DS. the final boss is a 2 staged boss fight separated by cutscenes.. i reccomend you just watch the final boss.. you battle the princess of the alien shroob race and defeat her.. just to set free her imprisoned older sister which has a HORRIFYING design, not suited for kids.. also the music and the fact all main character are super frightened themselves... i lost the this second stage and i think i didnt try again until i could use my friends action replay to cheat the boss fight with max hp and max atk power

[@dutchmisfit]

Sharing my childhood trauma: There was this flash game online where you went through this point and click horror game made up out of images pretty much. I remember you went through this dark house, a ghost would swoop past windows and there was this bath that would fill up with blood. Also something with flickering lights followed by the ghost you saw earlier coming into the house around the end of the game and then jump-scaring you as you just stand there and can't click away. Very vague description but this was like 13 years ago :P

[@AmandaJ-art]

My fear came from Tigger's honey hunt on the PC. There were mutiple scary scenes with the heffalumps. The night levels really creeped me out, but I loved that game.

[@raphiro0]

Suprisingly - the game, that got me scared, was Monolith's Alien vs Predator 2 (it's a 2001 game - you commented it briefly in Condemned), when I was 9-10. Marine Campaign specifically. Upon Level 5: Price of Admission, fighting Predator, there's a moment, where two marines are killed by two Xenomorphs and start fighting you. What was so startling or scary? You see - a xenomorph, leaping right into my face/monitor, causing the game to temporarly freeze, while "Frosty" (main character) explodes in gibs of gore. I remember not sleeping and dreading to progress further. What's interesting - the engine this game is made, Lithtech Talon, is pretty much compareable to Quake (back then) or Cruelty Squad (present). The aliens, depending on distance or difficulty, can run, crawl on walls, leap, stun you with their tail or bug out like a STALKER npc.. But that moment - head of a xeno, taking whole screen of a old monitor, freezing and then suddenly exploding my character in bits of blood and flesh. Was. Scary.

So just listening to the voice of how deep it was and the imagination of evil robots with the area being foggy/cloudy just scared me and ran chills down my spine. 2. I say this moment was kinda my dad's fault because he was just putting in super mario bros on the NES, just playing thru levels until he got to one of browsers castle. He asked me if I wanted to play so I did, I reached the ending area and out of no where my dad shoots up the TV volume and I heard a very VERY loud bowser laugh or roar, I still remember I dropped the controller and jolted out of the living room crying, while I heard my dad trying to call me back laughing 😂.

In my case, when I was little, even up to the point of my early teenage years, I loved playing the Ghostbusters game for PS3. That game I beat multiple times, multiple achievements, hell I think I even platinum'd the game from how much I played it. But there was this one level in particular that HAUNTED me as a kid. It was incredibly eerie for me to play, but it genuinely terrified me... And that was the fucking hotel. Hotel Sedgewick. And it appeared TWICE in the game's lifespan. So, the first time it was a regular hotel, everything was fine, up until you reached the stairs, and noticed a Fisherman's ghost. That ghost flooded the entirety of the 3rd floor iirc, rendering it completely covered in algae, corals, all the underwater shit. That already, as a kid, was terrifying, due to the low visibility, and the deep ocean themes. But aside from there, you had mimic lamps running around the entire level, where you had to check each lamp you ran by to see if it was a mimic or not, or else you'd get jumped. Now, that was already grueling enough. BUT THE HOTEL COMES BACK LATER ON, AND EVEN WORSE. The Ghostbusters return, and they have now a Black Widow ghost, that covered the entirety of the 13th floor (it doesn't exist btw) with cobwebs, and you can see cocoons of... "eggs" shaped like people, so that was a whole lot more unsettling. That, and the general spider motif was what made me have a bad time completing those levels in particular. I think it was part of the familiarity of hotels being turned against you? Like a hotel hallway with no one in it kind of unsettled me, even to this day.

Heart of Drakness on PS1 was just nightmare fuel. Your dog gets kidnapped by shadows during an eclispe and you play a little boy who goes at his rescue. The first ennemy you pass by eats your corpse if he kills you, and then you get reset. Fcking gruesome yet awesome.

In terms of trauma with old games, in Disney’s Ratatouille for the PS2, every time you failed a situational task as remy, there would always be a cutscene that plays in a spotlight shined on Remy and whatever subject that defeats him in the midst of a Pitch Black background with tragic music playing in the background, that always made me uneasy and drove me to avoid death by all means

in the toy story 3 game, the woody’s roundup section had a level where u could play through sid’s house and it was like a halloween horror section. it scared the shit out of me when i was younger and i refused to play through that area

[@mcafee2308]

That one part in Psychonauts when you went inside of Mila’s head and saw all the dead children and they whispered like why she left them in that building, that scared the absolute fuck out of me as a kid

When I was little I stumbled upon Garfield’s Scary Scavenger Hunt on some flash game website and the whole atmosphere of the game, the sound effects, the few “jumpscares” absolutely terrified me.

Ghostbusters for the Wii, when you go back to hotel for the second time in the game. The first time you go it's daytime, full of activity and the ghosts look like cartoon ghosts with the wispy tails instead of legs. The second time is pitch black, everything run down and the ghosts are all people with glowing eyes, growling and running towards you.

I remember playing this scooby doo game on the PS2. I think it was “Scooby Doo Night of 100 Freights” and there was this basement section that I couldn’t get passed because I was too scared to go in it. Till this day I still remember that section.

Mad Jack's boss fight from Donkey Kong 64 really freaked me out as a kid, but then it eventually pissed me off because I didn't know how to beat him lol.

Fable 2, there is a cabin that you can go to that seems normal, until you walk up to it. Where it would suddenly flash with the corpses of the people that lived there with a loud sound. Me and my best friend at the time were watching my sister play when that happened, both of us screamed, definitely a core memory.

[@fieliksielis16]

When I was a kid there was this Garfield flash game where you have to solve puzzles in some haunted mansion, to this day I remember getting jumpscared by some painting and shutting off my computer

[@mrcrazybozo2450]

being a kid and hearing the scream of getting your brain eaten after losing in plants vs zombies is something I can still remember after so many years

[@the_brainwavess]

Frogger 2 Swampy's Revenge, Swampy's Lair Level, the part where a ghost chases you. I always asked my dad to play that part for me.

[@BrotherSully]

Mine was also in a Rugrats game, it was in Rugrats in Paris on the N64 and there’s a mini game where you do kung fu as Chuckie in a dojo against these creepy wooden dummies. They move in a strange way and have a very creepy creaking noise.

Octodad when the chef is chasing you in the mall made me shit myself

[@theuninvitedcowboy]

I will distinctly remember any of the Flood levels from Halo 2 terrifying 5 year old me back when the game released, I'd have such a great time in literally every other level but as soon as a Flood level started I would be shivering me timbers. That feeling will forever be branded into my brain

BRO THE OPENING TO RE RACCOON CITY WHEN THE GUY WAS BEGGING FOR HELP WHILE ZOMBIES TORE HIM APART TRAUMATIZED THE SHIT OUT OF ME I STILL THINK ABOUT IT TO THIS DAY

[@onglogman]

Valhalla: before the war, an amiga game, the intro sequence to that and the way the guy smiled, I still can't look people with high cheek bones in the eye. The whole trilogy was just trauma for me

For me, it's one of the Fatal Frame series, I don't remember which one. When I was a kid, my friends and I sometimes played random games every weekend on PlayStation at one of my friend's houses. Then, someone suggested playing a horror game because horror movies were very popular back then in my country. And we were in luck because there was a Fatal Frame disc. My friend never bought it, maybe his brother did, as he said. Then, we booted up the game. I didn't really like horror things or ghosts back then because how popular the horror movies especially this one Chinese zombie movie, I don't remember the title but It makes me anxious. The same was true for Fatal Frame. The setting of an abandoned Japanese village with a murder case was just too much for me. I thought that just watching my friend play the game would make it less scary, but no. The atmosphere, ghosts, and sounds made me always cover my eyes with my hands.
