Top Ten Scariest Nostalgic Moments

Happy Halloween Special!
Sorry this is so late. I tried my best to pump this thing out as fast as possible. I guess even with all my experience, I have limits to what I can do in just 2 days. I really hope the quality didn't suffer. It probably did... Lesson learned, do not try to make videos in the span of 2 days during the busy season of work; it will be the bane of your sanity.
Sorry, things have just been hectic for me lately. The Marine Corps birthday is coming up, and this is around the time when the band is called up to perform at ceremonies all around the country, so my schedule is suffering greatly.
You might be wondering why this is not just video games or movies. Well, I tried doing a list of things that scared me in video games or movies specifically, but I couldn't come up with 10 good ones, or just 5 that I could talk about extensively. And I'm ranking them on how much I remember being frightened by them when I was younger, and how long it took me to watch them again after I went through a "Pull-the sheets-over-your-head" phase.

Jesus Christ, I'm 20 years old and when Watership Down came on it legitimately disturbed the shit out of me.

[@iceluvndiva21]

I’ve never seen it and already I’m very glad I never saw it

[@KororaPenguin]

The bit with the dog is especially bad because I witnessed one of my rabbits falling to a stray when I was younger. I still don't like huskies that much.

[@bowenreed1137]

i realize I'm kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good website to stream new series online?

[@nikocreed8244]

@Bowen Reed I would suggest FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)

[@colsonjadiel5132]

@Niko Creed yea, I've been using Flixzone for since april myself :)

[@howaboutsomesoyfood]

I'm 20 years old and SA-X still makes me shiver a little bit.

[@howaboutsomesoyfood]

[@dimensionalhero9183]

Honestly, what scares me most about SA-X is *THE FACE WHEN IT TURNS TO LOOK AT THE SCREEN.** like, that thing is something samus isnt. SELF AWARE. It stares the player down like "I'm coming for Samus, and then I'll get to you." And the NOISE that plays. AND THEN THE ZOOM IN ON IT'S FACE. *EUGH.*

[@Karlz1212]

Yeah, one of the things I’m most scared in media is self aware characters Because even when things get bad, you at least have the comfort of being safe behind the screen But with self aware characters? They know you’re there, and even the security of the fourth wall won’t save you from their torment I remember the first time I encountered SA-X, and how it kept staring at me Not at Samus. At *ME* It was as if it was telling me "I know you’re there, I know you’re the one calling the shots. And even though I can’t hurt you, I can just torture you just the same"

[@michaelpopowich5095]

Yeah that's what gets people a freaky fourth wall break with alarming sound accompanying it and yet its true form when you finally get to its boss fight is a bit creepy but it's funny that before this fight you either had to run like hell when you hear or see it or if you had the ice beam you'd freeze it then run like mad

[@kimzee59]

as soon as he said a film with bunnies, I knew it had to be watership down. God that film terrified me as I kid, and I have yet to watch it again.

[@wolfhurricane897]

kimzee59 why did Watership Down have to be released like that? when I saw this as a kid I was under my bed for 2 months. 2 MONTHS!

[@pc9289]

Why the f$$k would a movie like that be for children.

[@wolfhurricane897]

Jason Whitmore I have no clue but someone should have sued the makers of that movie years ago!

[@Blazenix1]

Jason Whitmore It was more for teenagers for children but they have released a much toned down version of Watership here. Cutting out most of the gore and blood. (At least in England) But if you watch Felidae (which is for adult not kids at all!) you'll think Watership Down is teletubbies compared.

[@bellaloperena379]

It looked like something made by PETA

[@Zeromega159]

I have got to agree about the SA-X. my heart still beats like a rock drummer playing "through the fire and flames" when I get to one of the early parts with it appearing. it was even worse if I was too slow getting to a hiding place

[@ragepoweredgamer]

Some numbnuts said the SA-X wasn't scary on here. This was my reply: You're ten years old. You're playing your own personal Gameboy Advance with a little Wormlight you got last week because your last 3 broke. You are playing this great side-scrolling RPG you just got, and you see the pupilless eyes of the SA-X. You know it's going to be a boss late in the game. You WANT to kill it. Then, you're following it. You're thinking "Please don't find me, please don't find me, please don't find me." Then the power bomb goes off and for a split second, you think it's all over. You follow behind him, but fall through the pit blocks! Your life flashes before your eyes as you panic, unable to escape this boss as he freezes you and screw attacks horizontally at you with the deathly green glow. Then, you die. After another attempt, you're through it, but that ambient music will haunt you forever as the noise you hear when shit is about to hit the fan and you're going to have to run like hell. Then you have your run in in sector 5 (NOC) and have to power bomb to get away from him, which isn't that bad. You get to time your movement and get away quickly. Then... You just freed up the auxiliary power supply from Yakuza. You're in desperate need of SOMEthing to get the power back, as you feel surprisingly helpless with no recharge rooms or hatches open, and these powerful creatures are everywhere. Then you go through a morph ball tunnel and hear the ONE thing that could make it worse: those footsteps. You roll forward to get out of the cramped space and stand up thinking "Where is it? Where the FUCK is it?!" With nothing else to do, you move forward and hit another pitblock, which is already a GBA jumpscare, but you land right in front of him. You desperately run and get out of the room, looking for a place to hide, but what do you find? Walls. Walls upon walls and jumps that are making SA-X catch up to you. You can't freeze it, you can't harm it, and as ou run for your life, an ice beam hits you and you're dead again. Then you're back to the ominous music in the main reactor silo as you make your way back to see the dreaded clone again, and every time you enter that room, those footsteps is all you will hear, accompanied by that simple yet fear-inducing bass tone. You stop as you want to plan out your moves ahead of time, so you can hopefully not die this time, but secretly, you're just buying time that you don't have to deal with the 2003 16-bit Slenderman, using anything as an excuse. Wiping off your hands, adjusting that incandescent Nyko light you have in your link cable slot, even just changing positions so you can focus more. As you do this, you notice something. The footsteps stop. Then they start again. They stop, then start again. That's when you realize: it's not looking for you, it's HUNTING for you. 

[@ragepoweredgamer]

I do. I play through the game once every couple years, and I always remember my first couple playthroughs on my old SP or the indigo Advance with the floodlight.

[@williamcrowe2576]

Watching these old videos now towards the end of 2020 is like cracking open a time capsule.

[@LyricaSilvan]

I had never heard of Watership Down before today... I wish I hadn't, period. Just seeing those clips horrified me.

[@calebholland9846]

+Lyrica Silvan It's honestly a great film. Just go look for it in stores and you may be surprised at what you see, just go into the film with a mature, analytical mindset and you'll see what I mean.

[@LyricaSilvan]

caleb holland Maturity really has nothing to do with it; even the most mature of people can be disturbed by something. And while I am slightly curious about it, if seeing those clips even briefly was enough to unsettle me, I'm not sure it'd be wise to watch the whole movie. But I've considered it, at least.

[@miguelpereira9859]

The movie is actually pretty good! I first saw it on these "scary things for kids" videos and I thought it would be really awesome to see bunnies fight with blood and gore all over the place.But it's a mature and well thought out movie, it's just not for kids. And it has like only 4 or 5 scenes in the movie that have blood, it's really not that much.

[@pinkduskstone1543]

+Miguel Pereira In Britain, it's actually for the whole family, including kids. Just as Don Bluth stated, a kid can take anything that the film shows them as long as it has a happy ending.

[@noahwiener8669]

Yeah, both the book and the movie are great. The fact that the bad guy is basically Joseph Stalin but a rabbit is pretty sweet too.

[@tomreynor1844]

"Why don't we watch a film about bunnies?!" Ohgodohgodohgod.....

[@chloenieuwsma4846]

Sure bunnies are cute! *shows watership down* Nopenopnopenope!

[@kendrarasberry3078]

Yeah, that’s what I thought the first time I saw this video, because Doug Walker already talked about it.

[@ladyvacca]

I actually loved Jumanji as a kid, and it was one of my favorite movies. Rest in peace, Robin Williams.

[@MeliesCinemagician]

Same here. Whenever Jumanji was on TV or I found it in a video store, I absolutely had to watch it. The thing is, none of the animals or anything that we actually see in the movie frightened me all that much, but something we only hear about did. Alan's monologue when the children accuse him of being to scared to finish playing the game and he tells them of the sleepless nights he spent in the jungle surrounded by nocturnal predators really unnerved me. The music and delivery of his lines went a long way towards making it the scariest scene in the movie for me.

[@TheRoflcer]

Pretty sure most kids who watched Jumanji loved it.

[@revaslatts8011]

I loved the movie. But there were many disturbing scenes. The monkeys, the mosquitoes, the lion. The spider scared me the most. *shudders*

[@tybuss6211]

I liked the movie, but I was also freaked out by it

[@davidstradinger9136]

Yeah jumanji is my favorite movie of all time!

[@BlazikenYoshi]

Oh man, that final one, that gave me a CHILL when you revealed it. That was terrifying to me too. But what scared me most oddly about him, was that when I first saw Neverending Story, my TV had subtitles turned on. Now you remember the old-fashioned subtitles for VHS, with the black background and white writing? For some reason... Gmork's subtitles were the same green tint as his eyes. I was so freaking scared, it was like reality itself was warping to have this creature come out of the TV and rip me apart.

[@KumoriGurasu]

YES, I *knew* I wasn't the only one who noticed that! Gmork haunted me for years like that as well, with Artax' death being a close second. Far as I know from what we had, The Neverending Story VHS tape was the only one with colored captions, it stands out in memory because of it.

[@aliastheabnormal]

I honestly couldn't find Gmork scary because of the Nostalgia critic. Whenever he showed up I just yelled ZUUL! MOTHAFUCKA! ZUUK!

[@pundertalefan4391]

Oh gosh. XD I'm sorry.

[@EveForbiddenFruit]

Major props for playing the Alice: Madness Returns theme in the intro.

[@pinecone3334]

Winnie the Pooh's Grand Adventure was awesome! My whole childhood was based around that movie. It taught me to imagine, and to overcome fear.

[@joyousstarparty9768]

That was like the biggest trend for all of us 3 yr olds

[@chloenieuwsma4846]

I remember reading a story book of it. Oddly it didn't scare me that much.

[@AntasmaTheBatKing]

You have got to be fucking shitting me!

[@michaelpopowich5095]

I had a VHS of that movie once I still won't watch it again even though it's now on Disney+

[@chingblingtheking754]

Watership down is just DOWNright disturbing, HAH HAH HAH😄🔫

[@Zyk0th]

+Andrew Lopez KZbin is smart that way. It knows what the video is talking about, and prioritizes related searches. Not that it's perfect. Cell doesn't show up until you put "cell d"

[@snumky]

Yeah you know my teacher in year 5 read us a bit of water ship down...

[@Slytherin90.]

+ChingBlingtheking Oh yeah (shivers)My heart froze when I watched it. That shit should be number one on the list! The person who created that movie must really have scared the children to death. I am 25 and this goddamn scene scared the fucking hell out of me! :(

[@KenjiKenzieTTV]

+ChingBlingtheking Am I like the only person who never watched it as a kid?

[@Zyk0th]

[@alessandrobozzi7085]

[@elephantpowerproductions]

5:41 After what The Last Jedi did to the current “fanbase”, that jokes is now 100% relevant.

[@robertlauncher]

Gmork actually gave me my first running nightmare, where a demonic wolf, or sometimes packs of them either walked slowly towards me while drooling, or chased me, trying to eat me.

[@B3nKen0bi]

Honestly, I have to give you props for having the wolf from Never-ending Story as number one. It scared me as a kid, and I still get creeped out now.

[@CmdrShepard95]

I like how you reference The Nostalgia Critic in this video, and then reference this video when you are talking with The Nostalgia Critic :P

[@bananatiergod]

I actually liked Winnie The Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin. Even those scary moments weren't so scary. But BY GOD, WATERSHIP DOWN GAVE ME A TRAUMA FROM ONLY A FEW FUCKING SCENES. O____O

[@bananatiergod]

Whenever you see adorable little bunnies get mutilated mercilessly. >_

[@lightningdash3152]

[@bananatiergod]

Like, holy crap, did those scenes scare me. I just saw the dog scene and I get shivers.

[@bananatiergod]

[@smartkidado]

O.R. Studios Oh, a cute little movie about bunnies. This will be nice for my childern! *watches movie* can't sleep..... bunnies will kill me....

[@kvltwalter]

SA-X had my heart pumping several times throughout Metroid Fusion. Running away from it at times was indeed a challenge. I still want a sequel to that game...

[@kumatorahaltmanndreemurr]

I think it’s funny that this video is about nostalgic media, yet I’m returning here almost a decade after first seeing it because I’m nostalgic for this video. It’s funny how time affects our feelings

[@Monsuco]

Felt like Courage The Cowardly Dog deserved a mention. Okay, that show kinda bothered me as a kid. It wasn't frightening in the sudden horror kind of way. The humor was something 9 year old me found to be hilarious. It was just the more you thought about it, the more disturbing the show seemed to be.

[@BarkalarGames]

The funny thing about SA-X was the fact that is was just a clone of Samus, but still creepy to see because you knew it could kill you in like 1 - 3 seconds if it saw you. He he.

[@tony-wt1wq]

When you said 'Mario 64', i thought that it would be the piano, then you said 'Endless staircase' I was like "OH GAWD NO" well, actually more like "I can relate."

[@tony-wt1wq]

***** I also was scared of that... but not as much when i was fighting him.

[@EternaMidnight]

***** I felt that way when they played that weird distorted music and then he did the laugh, that really freaked me out. But then I think they ended up doing that sound whenever you needed more stars to open a door so it wore off.

[@JacOfAllTrades.]

I always felt like Gmork was pretty much a combination of a wolf, a tiger, a gargoyle, and a ghost

[@colonelfrencht.5823]

Cell scared the crap out of me when I was a kid!! After that episode, I didn't watch the show because I got too scared. I started watching the series again once I got older, but Cell will always be there in my childhood nightmares....

[@calebholland9846]

+Jayden Newell While it didn't scare me, it really did disturb me as a kid.It's violent, brutal moments like that in the show (which there are many more of in its cut and especially uncut versions, on top of a lot of other things) that make you realize how Dragonball Z wasn't really a kid's show, being instead more of a show for all age groups. It's even more coincidental because it was one of the only episodes that I watched of the show while I was a kid until I later on, as a young adult, checked out both the entire original and the new Kai vesions and found both (especially Kai) to be great shows.

Y'know, one of the things that made me utterly freak out when I was little.... Super Metroid, when you get into the room with all the creatures made of dust. Touch them, they crumble. Shoot them, they crumble. Creature after creature. Then you get to find out what happened to them. And they give you TONS of straight out space to use the speed booster! Oh...but it catches up to you, and you can't escape....then it's your turn..... Edit: Hrm. I just watched a video of that portion, and it's VASTLY different than I recall. How odd.

[@kenjidtfc434]

You're not alone, I got scared with the endless stairs too... kept expecting a jumpscare and didn't get one, which left me uneasy throughout the rest of the game.

I love The Great Mouse Detective. I thought Ratigan was a fun villain, until the near end of the movie.

[@jeffybear5547]

Meh. I'll put Jenner from The Secret of Nimh up against any of your scary rats any day. Just the bat-shit crazy facial expressions they gave him can haunt your dreams. I do agree with your #1. Gmork was and still is a nightmare. My little brothers would run screaming from the room whenever that part came on, and that character alone is still why I'm a little skeptical to let my almost 7 year old daughter watch it now.

[@BiFoxxo]

Hmm... good point.

[@500sonicthehedgehog]

To tell you the truth, I was never scared of Ratigan when he got all crazy, especially when I was a little kid. No joke.

10. That scene. That one scene where he drinks a guy on scene, is more than enough to be on this list, if not higher (I know why it's not but still). TFS version is a more tame version. 9. The last one was kinda hilarious! 8. Why was so many children's movies were so damn terrifying!!! 7. It's even more terrifying if you get the stupid idea to face it, and realize it can kill you almost instantly! 6. Yea you got that pretty much right there! 5. Let's watch a movie about bunnie-OH DEAR GOD WHAT THE HELL!!!>?!?!?? It's rabbits! Getting slaughtered! Not murdered, slaughtered!!! By the way, this movie was a success in Britain and won awards! 4. I can kinda see it being scary, but it becomes annoying after awhile. 3. It kinda reminds me if Blackheart's stage in Marvel Super Heroes had better animation. 2. Wallmasters scare me shitless even today. And the Forest Temple's music is easily the scariest. You can hear children screaming in the song. 1. ...Excuse me while I change my pants...

I actually cheered when I saw those eyes and teeth at the number one spot. Gmork... Yeah, I'm right there with you. Saw the Neverending Story when I was little. It's been more than twenty years. I STILL occasionally have nightmares where the last thing I see before I wake up, are those eyes and teeth. Just seeing them again with that music raised gooseflesh, and I've only seen the Neverending Story twice. Top tier freak factor.

10) I remember Cell and the empty clothes remind me of the rapture scene from 'Left Behind.' 9) 'The Witches,' there is a scene where kids are turned into rats and I think there was a scene with her nearly killing an infant. 8) And, Owl was a complete jerk for embellishing everyone's fears, only to find out that Christopher Robin went to school or something.

[@TheJayson8899]

The bunnies were the scariest and darkest imo

[@Naruto85RasenShurike]

Probably one of the scariest scenes from a disney film when I was a kid has to be the donkey transformation scene from Pinnochio. The idea of a little boy suddenly transforming into a donkey for the rest of his life, simply for being a trouble making jackass really scared the heck out of me. Even today, that scene still creeps me out.

I find your reasons for Cell being number 10 funny now, since TFS managed to make Semi-perfect Cell FAR more intimidating than his canon version.

[@AzureMoebius22]

Ok I know this comment is old, but if Cell is actually more intimidating in the abridged version, then how hammy is his canon self?????

[@RapidFyrez]

@@AzureMoebius22 In the original version Cell in his imperfect form is scary but once he goes semi-perfect and full perfect, he turns into a more bloodthirsty Frieza

[@AzureMoebius22]

RapidFyrez That sounds like his canon self is more intimidating than his abridged self.

[@RapidFyrez]

@@AzureMoebius22 It really isn't. He loses a lot of the intimidation factor and just becomes another pompous 'I am undefeatable, mwahaha' villain that loses a lot of the creepy factor. In the abridged series he gets more cocky as he gets powerful yes, but the creepy intimidation is there. Basically in canon, Cell becomes more powerful but more boring. In the Abridged series, he becomes more powerful and more unhinged, he just hides it behind jokes.

"Watership Down" is a FUCKED-UP mess of an animated film. Try watching the begging half-hour without vomiting.

[@Mayeur000Donz]

+Onizuma13 I remember seeing it as a kid. I expect it toughened me up a fair bit. :~P

[@jackfangs6711]

I watched this when I was 4 and it did not bother me and it is still one of my favorites

[@samandmrcheese]

I STILL can't believe Watership Down is a kids movie!

[@cassidywhitfield7648]

It was made in the era of the hippies, to expect anything different then art like the artists were on drugs and morals, references, and a story that would only make sense to a philosophic stoner or an outright philosopher (or English/politics teacher) is very very unwise.

[@CMGThePerson]

+samandmrcheese The creators are pretty much tricksters.

[@gregorama301522]

the pause then the footsteps legit sent shivers up my spine

[@autumbreeze1129]

Ironic that I'm watching this Halloween special the day after Christmas 😁

[@BoredPotato0]

#2 I also find the Forest Temple music scarier than the Shadow Temple's. Because with the Shadow Temple it's like you know scary shit is going to happen. But with the Forest Temple, it makes it spooky and you never know when something scary will happen

[@RidleyKraid187]

This is the only list I've ever seen where we go from Pooh to Metroid.... I had to glance at the title again so I could remember just what the heck kind of list this was!

[@Armageddon-yt3so]

nice pick for number 1. i love that movie. and admittedly that song still creeps me out sometimes.

[@TheChaosDragoness]

I agree with you on the Forest Temple being scarier than the Shadow Temple in Ocarina of Time. The atmosphere and the music just set the tone for it perfectly. In the Shadow Temple, you expect it to be creepy and that kind of downplays the scary atmosphere. You don't expect the Forest Temple to be creepy and that's why it has that reputation. It's a combination of the Poes, the Stalfos, Wolfos, and its secluded location that gives it the ancient and ominous feeling, almost like you're exploring a haunted mansion. Even the boss is a phantom of your worst enemy. The temple is pretty easy to get lost in too if you're playing through it for the first time (happened to me in my first playthrough as a kid), which might also give it a creepy feeling. Not to mention this is the first dungeon in the game that we're introduced to the Wallmasters, which are paranoia fuel in their own right and not that great for someone who has anxiety (like me). I remember when I was a kid playing OoT I didn't want to venture forward anymore after I had my first encounter with a Wallmaster. When it dropped down and grabbed me I screamed and threw my controller before bolting to shut my console off. It scared me so much that I stopped playing for months. Ever since then I've just been so paranoid about Wallmasters whenever I encounter them in this game, and paranoia is rampant in the Forest Temple. A lot of veteran players just note "something about it" that specifically makes them want to turn around and make sure nothing is behind them. And most of them will agree it's the threat of being snagged by a Wallmaster.

[@LegendofSmsh]

For some reason the Shadow Temple scared me most, probably because of what I saw in the temple. Blood stained walls/floors, torture devices, the terrifying Dead Hand, and the MUSIC. I never thought of the Forest Temple to be creepy, I only thought of it as being mysterious and lonely.

[@TheChaosDragoness]

Legend ofSm4sh180 Blood and gore alone don't do much for me, however I get anxious and paranoid very easily, and when you're both isolated and paranoid your mind begins to play tricks on you, which is why the Forest Temple gets me with things like the Wallmasters and the ersatz music that just has you on edge. However the things that got me the most as a kid in the Shadow Temple were Dead Hand, the atonal music, and Bongo Bongo. Everything else just didn't do it for me. However even nowadays as a grown woman the Forest Temple still scares the absolute hell out of me while the Shadow Temple just isn't creepy to me at all anymore. See I developed a very offbeat personality as I grew up and also gained a fondness for the darker aspect of life and human nature, things like these were more cool than creepy to me once I got past ten years old. It's the psychological aspect of horror that gets me more because nothing is scarier to me than looking through the eyes of madness. Replacing physical threats with psychological ones (e.g. madness, paranoia, etc) and replacing overt displays of horror like the peek-a-boo corpse with more subtle, creepy details is what unsettles me the most. This is also why movies like Silence of the Lambs and the Japanese versions Ju-On: The Grudge and Ring scare me WAY more than most other horror films because your mind turning against you as you descend further into madness is more scary to me than gallons of blood being dumped onto the floor in a slasher film or someone getting limbs hacked off. This is also why I'm really digging Negan in the new season of Walking Dead, where the zombies don't scare me all that much, Negan brings a HUGE amount of psychological horror to Rick and his gang.

[@LegendofSmsh]

The Chaos Dragoness I agree, at a certain point you'll actually start to like that creepy feeling. Oh, and I once looked behind me in the Forest Temple because, well, y'know xD

[@hotdiddykong2]

Damn, i never thought i would see someone else who was frightened by the Staircase as a kid just like me :D

[@rasmussten1206]

I agree with the winnie the pooh and sa-x, but i would have slenderman on my list and that scene from the first lotr movie with the troll in the mine. Another one would be the zombies from Counterstrike source I got nightmates from that shit. My dad used to read ghoststories for me when i was younger and some is still Creepy for me to this day but i dont think it could be on a list since its not a specific thing. Great video man!

It gets worse when the fact that they also bought Marvel sinks in...

[@treadingwater86]

Watership Down is not a kids-movie, the book is pretty much just as bloody as the film and it is almost sad that there are some people that hate this movie just because it happens to be a movie about rabbits that isn't meant for little kids. I mean it has a great story, loveable characters, great drama, stunning animation and probably the most beautiful ending I have ever seen in an animated film outside Disney. If you really want to see a creepy animated film that's definitely not for kids, then check out Felidae. The entire film is on KZbin and anyone who gets mislead from the cute Disney-style imagery at the casing with the cat at the front and have not read the novel it was based on will be traumatized for days (luckily I was prepared and watched it at an age where one could fully understand and appreciate the material).

[@animelover_569]

Cartoon+Animefan96 I agree that it’s not a kids movie but there’s actually a dvd store that has sells the dvd Watership Down with the children movies.

[@jonssongoodisaac]

[@gamegirladvance2397]

We always fast-forwarded the Night On Bald Mountain segment when I was a kid, it was just so WRONG after that Pastoral Symphony with cute little unicorns and beautiful centaurettes...now, I absolutely love the segment and ESPECIALLY the music! Funnily enough, when I was a kid, I didn't mind the spoof that they did of it in Rocko's Modern Life...

[@hariman7727]

SIlent Hill music. Props to a masterful horror series, at least in the beginning. In order: 10: Cell. Yeah. He's pretty creepy! Especially once he drinks people. And Team Four Star make him even more terrifying. *Shudders.* That buildup was good, at the start. 9: ...Rats be a bit scary. Also, excellent jokes on this one. 8: I never watched this one. Also, Disney has done okay with Star Wars. Fans are being overdramatic though. 7: Just... YEAH. It's you... only heartless, and ENDGAME STRONG. And your bag of spilling just broke wide open! 6: I was old enough that I could ignore the nightmare fuel. But... yeah. Terrifying, if you think about it. 5: Watership Down: Traumatizing unsuspecting kids for YEARS. 4: Didn't play, but... yeah. Creepy. 3: ...I must have been rather immune to nightmare fuel as a kid. Also, Black Cauldron was pretty scary for Disney, especially if you consider how the Black Cauldron has to be turned off. 2: I have REALLY got to play through the remake of Ocarina of Time one of the days. 1: I was too young when I saw Neverending Story, and too old when I came back to it, and also suffered Hype Backlash. It had little effect on me. But YEAH. Gmork being AIIIIEEEEE! levels of scary makes perfect F-yaaay-g sense to me now!

[@97dusk]

SA-X still scares the hell out of me. I first played Metroid Fusion on my 3DS thanks to the Ambassador Program. I was in high school at the time, maybe freshman or sophomore year. I would usually play later in the evening, usually when it's dark outside and my lights are off, and I always used my headphones to eliminate background noise. Needless to say, those footsteps still scare me enough to make me hold my breath, especially when I hear the sound effect when I'm alone in a dark room. Hell, even my own footsteps in Fusion scared me sometimes. It's crazy to think that mere footsteps can get such a reaction out of people.

[@RiC_David]

This was excellent. As for the Endless Staircase, that didn't scare me in the slightest - I loved it, but the reason is probably the infinity presented by the 'shepherd tone' (it's not a single tone but that's the name given to the auditory trick) combined with the discomforting notes that accompany it (which are very similar to those from Super Mario World's ghost houses) give a sense of being lost in the endlessness. For me this ceases to be scary the moment you turn around and see that the starting point is right there - although this itself is creepy, it's also comforting; if you looked down and saw the floor in the distance and ran towards it only to find that it...never...quite...got any closer...yeah then I'd feel screwed.

[@championwilliamson8536]

Was gonna riot is the SA-X wasnt here. Was not dissappointed.

[@Emerald-DragonFlame]

Dune Blot sont worry i feel ya bruh

[@cassidywhitfield7648]

It would be worse if you weren't. That entire movie is filled with nothing but disturbing concepts, even worse in the books. The thing that always disturbed me the most was the communist-esk warren with all the clone rabbits of the tyrannical leader (even when I was younger I knew something bad had to be going on with the breeding if they ALL looked almost exactly like him)

[@arrakis6608]

Cassidy Whitfield Cool cool

[@calebholland9846]

+Cassidy Whitfield Actually, WormWood's (I think that was his name) warren was a representation of Totalitarian goverments overall and how they all rule by fear and brute force rather than leadership and inspiration. That's probably why all of Wormwood's troops and residence look identical to him, because Totalitarianism doesn't allow for any sense of individuality from its subjects. Wormwood's warren could also very well have metaphorical ties to the Nazi ideal (or as we know monstrosity) of the master race, as a lot of the clips there seem to strongly suggest that.

[@shymickey6]

Unless you're a kid, why would they? And besides, you can't really say with images from movies that weren't meant to be scary in the first place. Not being scared by this isn't anything to brag about, really.

[@Arcticgreen]

Yeah, Watership Down (number 5) I didn't see it until after reading the book several times, probably the only reason why it didn't scare so much as disappoint me. That said, is it scary that some of these examples didn't scare me so much as... excite me... when I was a kid? I was never scared of the big demon in Fantasia, he was just a large winged Darth Vader wannabe with powerful music. I think, of the things on the list, the one thing that scares me the most, is Cell, when he's not reveling in his own power and destruction he is coldly and methodically sucking the life out of people. Then again, that's basically the formula for a good horror moment. Basic undertone, slow build up, strange and distorted clues/results, discordant and horrifying tones prior, during and continuing after "the reveal", and the monster itself must be kept surrounded/saturated by evil and deadly motifs. Wow, after all that I've gotta wonder, how the heck does FNAF even scare people?!

[@dallastexsuss5166]

we shall take a moment of silence for all rabbits brutally murdered in the film watership down.

[@revstalker7334]

Because jump-scares. Some people (myself included) can be more scared by jump-scare than anything else.

[@AntasmaTheBatKing]

"Because people who have no hopes... Are EASY TO CONTROL." That line was delivered PERFECTLY. The voice actor of Gmork (which is what I now call my Mightyena) should have been paid more for that line alone!

[@DanSolo0119]

Gmork would be my number 1 pick as well. I've watched NeverEnding Story my entire life. And I enjoyed every moment of it, except when Gmork would show his terrifying face. And I always thought he was lurking in the basement, ready to strike. Now that I'm older...I'm not as scared as I used to be, but he's still quite intimidating and that cord STILL sends a chill down my spine. Josh, glad to see you and I have something in common.

[@Scientin]

Dang, 5 should have been 1. Seriously, WTF with that!?!?!?!?

[@taktnagano]

I agree with you. That scared me WAAAAY more than any other one.

[@TheRainbowLover]

The first one where Cell sucked the man out of his clothes was super scary I'm glad I never saw that episode as a kid that would've gave me nightmares for years! I was lucky! I'm sorry you had to see that as a kid. I am confused about one thing though why didn't Piccolo do anything to stop Cell why he didn't stop Cell from sucking that man out from his clothes? Was he scared stiff? Was he too scared to do anything? Why didn't he stop Cell?

[@kotamane]

I couldn't agree with you more, when i first watched "The neverending story" I was petrified of the Gmork the way he had that creepy feel and just the thought of pure evil was enough to make a grown man scream holy hell enough said

[@KurtKokaine1]

Nobody is gonna believa me, but I swear I predicted your no. 1. Well not so much predicted as mentioned in my head a few seconds before your reveal. I was thinking about mentioning Gmork in the comments when my eyes grew wide that it was your no. 1 pick as well. Great list, my man.
