You know them. The characters that make you sweat, and make you piss yourselves
Yes them fuckers.
To me has been two of them :
- Pyramid Head - When I first saw him my heart beat went sky high. He is the reason I havent finished that game
- Duriel(Diablo 2) - He is the only one that made my hands shake and sweat(maybe it was because I was 10 when I played the game)
So those are mine. Who are the ones that made you feel your pants with wee ????

The little girl from F.E.A.R.
S.H.O.D.A.N. from System Shock 2 (and The Many).
The mannequins from Condemned (not the ones that where alive just the ones that randomly appear behind you).
And myg0t.

The entire cast of Shadowman.

God, that was a good game.

Try and keep profanity out of the titles. Elsewhere is fine.

Hum.

Well the Mutants in Penumbra: The Black Pleague, those flesh eating beatle things from Dementium The Ward, the entiraty of the Silent Hill baddie, and the rabid bear from Condemed 2.

While you may have only seen him for a few seconds, I only have seven (or eight, depending on how you count) words:

"I'm the lightbringer, I'm the fucking UNIVERSE!"

I don't know what scared me more, the eyes, or the horrible acting.

Regenorators From RE4 There Breathing Scares The Shit Out Of Me

The regenerators in Resi 4, i HATED the noise they made. Even when i knew they were there and i knew killing them was easy i still didnt like seeing them....

Oh and i agree with the shadowman enemies, the way they died was horrible.

Dam thats weird!! u beat me by a minute! lol

The ghost ship in Oblivion, I pissed my pants when one of the ghost jumped out at me... They aren't even that scary, I just didn't see it and it scared the shit out of me :P

The fish in Half Life but I do have a crippling fear of fish so what do you expect? haha. Apart from them Iron Maidens in RE 4. You'll be walking along taking out the odd Spainish dude with an axe and then it goes all quiet and you can hear the sketchy breathing and you know its close and you know that you have to use a spiner at close range or waste alot of shotgun ammo.

The doom 3 enemies when it comes to shocking moments, those bastards fucking have me jumping out of my chair all the time, even though they're pretty damn stupid and ugly.

My other bet would simply be the hairy poison-headcrab from half-life 2.
Those things creep the fuck outa me, AND they leap at you.

The Cradle badguys in Thief: Deadly Shadows. The music, along with the weird clicking noises they made, made that part of the game incredible.

You are not the only one, I hated the fact that you could walk into any room, hear that breathing, know they were there, but couldn't see them!

Also most of the enemies from SH2, especially the sounds those patient demons make when they crawl, and the radio sounds and the sounds of the giant roaches (the enemy itself isn't very scary but when I hear a tricycle and what either sounds like child laughter or some kind of squeak in a horror game I get really creeped out), and we can't forget about pyramid head now can we!?

The mannequins in Condemned

Surprisingly, I wasn't too scared by the Condemned mannequins. I can't play scary games for my life but I managed to get through Condemned except for the house part towards the end. That was by far the scariest part in any video game i've managed to get through.

The Men In Black in Deus Ex, until I discovered they COULD be killed.

A seriously pi$$ed-off Big Daddy, until you realised you just had to reincarnate again and again to kill it.

The top one has to be the Chryssalids from XCom. One touch, and a character was zombified, and all you could do was kill him/her before he/she did any more damage. As soon as one turned up, all my men would run away, group up, and wait with guns at the ready. Once you got advanced armour that allowed you to fly, you would hover out of reach, and not come down until it was dead.

The Chainsaw wielding Zombie with a bag over his head from Resident Evil 4.

The Miniblins in Wind Waker. I don't know what it was about them particularly, but man they absolutely terrified me.

Just the "Dini, dini" noise and then the frantic swinging the camera around all like WHERE ARE THEY and then suddenly there'd be like twenty of them all up in yo' grill.

Agree with you there, but for different reasons. They tend to remind me of the other Resident Evil creatures that scared the fuck out of me, the Lickers from RE2. One of the first encounters when you're in the interrogation room and it breaks through the window to attack you, almost shit my fucking pants! Then again, I was 11.

Bloodsuckers from STALKER. Invisible, fast, hard-hitting and able to take crazy amounts of damage without dying.

Break:
The entire cast of Shadowman.

God, that was a good game.

I completely agree. Especially those things with the meat hooks. the noises they make when they walk around and then attack you was terrifying. i made the mistake of playing Shadowman in the dark on my own and went through the Assylum and Cathedral of Pain. thats was soooo scary.

Oh man, the interrogation room thing terrified me to the point I had to run like hell to the nearest typewriter, save, then come back to carry on playing during the daylight. The best part was at the time I first reached that encounter, I was playing drunk with a few friends watching. I've never managed to recreate a scenario where four 17 year old guys are sat simultaneously screaming in terror at the TV.

The alien fish thing from Half Life. Something about it just scares the crap out of me everytime I go near it's "home" in black mesa.

The Chainsaw Guy from RE4.

"Fuck, it's him. Shit, he's getting closer, no, no, shoot him, in the head, agh, FUCK!"

Great retrospective of that scene. Also, the poison headcrabs. Those little bastards love biting you at the face.

the slow zombies from half life 2. I dont know why they do but they really just freak me out the most. oh and barnacles.

Poison Headcrabs, And the dogs from Tomb Raider 2.

=[

Spierek:
The Chainsaw Guy from RE4.

"F***, it's him. S***, he's getting closer, no, no, shoot him, in the head, agh, F***!"

Great retrospective of that scene.

Fixed

Watchers from FEAR. The guys that cloaked and could stick to walls. There weren't a lot of them, but they came out of nowhere and were fast as hell.

Half Life 2: Anything in Ravenholm at 3 in the morning p_p

Oh yeah... seeing their eyes in the hospital wasn't a pleasant experience... I also got a slight aversion towards fast zombies...

Scissorman from Clock Tower First Fear and Clock Tower for the PSX. Talk about panic when you'r a frail little girl who can only run from a disfigured little boy with big bad ass scissors in a lonely big mansion in the middle of the night while tripping over you'r dead friends. That is horror!

More props to Pyramid Head, Regenerators, Alma from FEAR, and every one of those freaking lunatics from Condemned.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned this yet: ReDeads from Ocarina of Time. I've had two nightmares featuring them since I first encountered them years ago.

The 1st time a monster popped out in the Suffering, I jumped about 3 feet in the air and my wife fell off the couch. The little Girl from Fear,and the black spots on the floor that suck you down from Extraction Point.
I don't think it's so much the monster as the eviroment. In the GOOD horror games they set you up, the quiet sounds, the dark, it's quiet, too quiet, you know it's comming, you tense up, your heartrate climbs, and then WHAM, out it pops or scuttles, and suddenly it's in your face! You jump and a ICE COLD shot of adrealine hits your heart, you have to KILL IT AND KILL NOW! And when you do God do you feel ALIVE>

the village chief from resident evil 4 i mean he popped out of nowhere in the warehouse
