I found the Cherubs in Doom 3 to be really disconcerting. For some reason, I find the Manhacks from Half-Life 2 to be frightening as well, something about whirling blades a eye-level I guess.

I don't mind the manhacks. It's the fast zombies and their wails that scare the bajeezus out of me.
I remember one scary enemy. I was about..11 or 12 i think and i was playing Halo 2 now i don't get scared easily i mean back then i was watching 15, 18 movies and not getting scared too much in the slightest unless it was really intense
And the only time i've ever screamed during a game was when i was innocently walking around a corridoor of some kind (In Halo 2 still) and i turned around to see one of those slow waddling things with GIANT sacks of headcrab-esque flood things. I frikkin' screamed.

barnacles in half-life. They should fall off the ceiling when they die so i can kill them more.
And the tyrant from resident evil 2, i remember almost pissing myself when it kept breaking through the damn wall.

Those little monster bastards in Silent Hill 1's school. That scene in the locker room (the second time in the otherworld school) scared the living shit right out of me!
Any invisible enemy is scary, I personally hated the invisible enemies in Megaman legends because you could hear the slow walking sound they made, then your indicator would go red, then the running, then you get sucker punched by an annoying prick.
So what? I can die happy now!nilcypher post=9.69494.678413 said:the monopoly guy post=9.69494.677891 said:

My scariest ones are so weak. The re-deads from Ocarina Of Time used to scare the crap outta me. And heres a real oldie, the rock guy from Alex the Kidd, y'know of the rock-paper-scissors bosses. He looked like the elephant man and used to freak me out something shocking.
HOW could this thread have gone to five pages with no mention of Giygas?
He has no sprite. He has no character model. He is in the background. He IS the background. He is a shifting void. Red, black, green. A distorted, screaming face, that shifts back and forth, swirling like water. He surrounds you. The music doesn't help either. He is the embodiment of evil. He's a friggin' Lovecraftian horror. He gave me nightmares when Resident Evil bored me.
Giygas is terrifying. Truly terrifying. Virtually indestructible. Where the game would say "Zombie bites Paula!" or "Starman tried PK Starstorm!", it says "You cannot grasp the true nature of Giygas' attack" and suddenly half your party's dying, the other half in tears (literally). While there's no conversation with him, every attack is punctuated with dialogue inspired by the trauma of accidentally seeing a rape scene in a movie as a child (I am not making this up)
Oh, and all this in 16-bit.
Duriel's got nothing on this guy.

Repeating/agreeing some of the above, but these are the scariest enemies in gaming I have encountered
OoT - Agreed, ReDeads
RE1 - The dogs coming through the window
Bioshock - 1st Big Daddy you encounter
Dead Rising - Adam the Psycho-Clown's death (maybe I'm just Coulrophobic)
Alien vs Predator - Aliens when playing as human, in the dark, low ammo and flares with the motion sensor going crazy! perfick.
R6V2 - Seeing my brother's face in multiplayer. Brrr, still gives me nightmares.
