Yup, the Redead from the Zelda series...
It's the way they just stand there moaning softly.
Then when you get noticed they slowly, oh so slowly come for you.
When they (or you) finally get close enough they unleash this soulrending shriek that makes you freeze and then they come for you fast while you can't do anything.
They really freaked me out as a kid.

The Redead from the Windwaker were less scary but when they died, it took a minute or so before their bodies would disappear.
Always thought they would get back up in the beginning.
Funny detail, if you shot them with your bow, the arrow would get stuck in them with a satisfying 'thud', doing no damage. You could turn these guys into porcupines before you killed them.

Anything that flys when you only have a melee weapon. That's the definition of unfair

As for me, zombies.... I want to kill the person who gave them this idea.

But then they would probably just turn into a zombie and then you'd be screwed :/

The most horrifying zombies I've ever dealt with were probably the ones in Thief: The Dark Project. My god, the sounds they would make. And you felt so helpless because you could only kill them with holy water.

Old-school -- the bulletproof cars in the Spy Hunter arcade game. I could never get the hang of ramming without going off the road and dying. Consequently, every Spy Hunter game I've ever played has lasted 1 minute and 20 seconds. I hear there's a boat level...

Phantom6:
The jellyfish from The World Ends with You, mostly because I button-mash for top screen and focus on the bottom screen most of the time. You need to be competent on the top screen to consistently get Fusions, which eventually becomes the only way to beat these guys when they split into like 8-9 copies, and then those copies start splitting...*shudder*

I'm fine with them.

System Shock 2. Psi reavers. Hideous beyond words, incredibly damaging and they keep coming back until you find the brain and exploderise it. Every encounter is an adrenaline trip, and every second after you take the first projection out but before you've found the brain is like three lifetimes.

Trolls in Oblivion 'cause they jump out at you from freakin' nowhere and scream their lungs off at yoi.

Hell yeah. And what about the first psi-monkey you meet which throws exploding fireballs instead of regular psi-blast? I was like, "Haha, monkey, no biggie, can deal... WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT??!!!"

Strafe Mcgee:
I loathe the Medusa Heads in Castlevania 4. Seriously, graze them when you're walking through the level and the send you flying backwards into the bottomless pit of despair.

Oh, I totally agree with that. You know how it is, your shoulders just involuntarily drop when they start moving towards you. Medusa Heads, along with pretty much everything else in Castlevania 3 are evil.

what the hell...is that?...MAKE IT GO AWAY
don't forget those little mushroom-I can't remember the name-guys in mario "sorry but your princess is in another castle" I don't care! I just kicked some giant turle that breaths fire and has spikes in his back jsut for some ditz who doesn't have the common sense to lock her bloody door!

Wait. Why does that one have fingernails?

Oh, just remembered:
Alpha Centauri. Those orange bastards. "Children of God" or whatever their name was. Kept blabbering about God and my sins and whatnot. Sins my ass. See this Planet Buster?

EDIT:
Hmm. Think it was "The Lords Believers". Anyway the leader was Sister Miriam I think. Ahh, good times with nukes.

It's meant to; it's a H.R Giger design after all. It's a grotesque parody of human procreation; a vagina looking thing that penetrates you orally and lays eggs down your throat. Wrong on so many levels.

Shame on you! From the greatest Sci-Fi movies of our time!!!!

I cannot believe so many people never saw any of the Alien movies. Not even the crap that is the AVP series?

The second one wasn't that bad. Although I found the pregnancy thing to be a bit sickening.

The second one was just filed with the most annoying human characters from the teenage slasher films. At least the 1st had unique-ish characters.

That was the point. It was mocking itself, by becoming the cliche horror movie. Like the black teen being the first dying teen. And the government cover up. And the hunky teens childhood love getting killed, leading him to charge the thing without dying instantly. It was taking the piss, and I think it was well done in that way.

Agreed, plus... ANY movie with that much gore AND facemelting involved gets a thumbs up from me =]

The zombies in ocarina of time that jump on you and start humping your back. Terrifying.

Mile High Club, veteran, CoD4. I tried it today and gave up almost an hour later...bastards only giving me 1 minute to do the whole thing.

Veteran took me 5 days... 2 of those days was used to finish 'Mile High Club'... And I have a friend who bitched incessantly about 'No Fighting In The War Room'.

As for me, zombies. I hate zombies. I hate horror in general, but game developers seem to like zombies for some reason... I want to kill the person who gave them this idea.

I must be a flaming wuss because I couldn't finish the whole game on Hardened. Of course, this was only because I could not survive the last stand at chernobyl, and had to do that single bit on Normal. I can understand your pain on Mile High Club. Relative to my skill level that section was still a bitch. War Room wasn't so bad though.

If you want some help with Chernobyl (the last stand at the Ferris wheel), I hid behind the dodgem' car place, planted my claymores, and took my time. It's not that hard once you work out a good camping spot.

But, you have 'No Fighting In the War Room', which is a bitch on Veteran. Not only do you have a 9 minute timer, but you have enemies with telescopic vision, enemies who can kill you in 2-3 shots), and did I mention that mother-fu**cking timer!?

i don't think anyone has mentioned those giant freaky things in res evil 4 that bite your head, and you need the infa-red sniper-rifle for, they scared the crap out of me every time.

and those ghost piranah things on the last levels of ninja gaiden wanted me to destroy my console

Any splicer in Bioshock who thinks it's funny to pretend to be a corpse until I get close. Even if you hit every corpse in your path with Electrobolt, you'll always miss one...

This one might not be so horrifying as those other ones, but I really HATE the dogs in COD4. When you hear them it's like: "oh shit", and you never know exactly where they come from. Don't know about you guys but I played it on the 360, and it seemed when they first got you pinned down on the ground, it was only a matter of luck wether you managed to press the melee button the exact right second to kill them.

Cliff *twitch* racers....

the trees in GTA, it annoys me when i break into a van and destroy everything, only to be sent to deaths edge by a pretty thin tree...

...curse them.

danosaurus:

I can't believe people put Striders in as hated characters? They're the most fun//intense enemy i've ever encountered in a game! they're intelligent and effing challenging!

That doesn't stop them being easy to hate. Especially when backed up by Hunters. 'We're going to give you magical strider-destroying sticky bombs that you have to shoot at the thing when it's moving and firing at you. Now factor in things that shoot the bomb out of midair and make your weapons look like wet flannels... and go.' Okay, now I nominate the entire last two chapters of HL2: Ep2.

Also, COD4 dogs, and every enemy from Bioshock that creeps up on you or suddenly starts moving when your back is turned or leaps to its feet from its corpse-like position or turns off the freakin lights. Example: Mr Smoky the dentist, the thuggish mob around the shotgun cache, the first moving corpses you meet and those damned statue splicers.
