I actually found the "Grey Lady" portions of the Ghostbusters video game to be very well paced and spooky, especially the parts in the children's section of the library.
And I thought that RE5's crawling mass of worms, Oros Boros (stupid name) was pretty good, until the game just kept getting dumber and dumber until it just started sucking... ehh...

I was more thinking the psychological stuff that she does, creeps me the hell out. Also, if not Alma then I pick "drumroll" Chainsaw Zombie from Doom 3, that or pink daemontony2077 said:
the "Rabbits" in the Meat Circus in Psychonauts... they're just really disturbing.

Actually that entire level was really disturbing...
And "Princess" from TimeSplitters Furture Perfect

Would you believe the scariest monster I ever saw was in a Spiderman game?
Laugh it up, if you will, but it was one of the first PC games I owned. I'd gone through the usual menagerie of Spidey villains, Venom (who deserves honorable mention for making me panic as he fights you while slowly drowning M.J,) Mysterio, Rhino, Scorpion, what have you. Nothing terribly out of place.
During the end part of the game, you fought Doc Ock, which was neat, and Carnage, which was fairly creepy.
Then the game gave Doc Ock Carnage's symbiote.

The one, and only, Monster Ock appearance.
Indestructible, smashes through anything, and chases you through an exploding base for 6 levels. Oh, yeah, that scream? He'll make it every time he catches you

A Divider from Dead Space has got to be one of my new picks for scariest monster. He's Spindly (which to me is terrifying), he has a horrible scream and when you shoot him enough he explodes into a bunch of scary body part-looking mini necro's.

Pure terror. That is what I felt playing that game.Jfswift said:oh definately! Like the evil samus in metroid: fusion *cringe*ethaninja said:Any game that has a mirrored (probably evil) version of you. If you ask me, that is the scariest of them all. (epscially if its an RPG or something and you make your character ugly)
Reminds me of how good it was.
When I was little, this thing scared the SHIT out of me. He came after you every time you set foot in the water and was a far faster swimmer than you, so if you slipped off a cliff and found yourself far from shore, you were a goner. Not only did he want to EAT you, but he TALKED about it first. It was too much anthropomorphism for my young mind to take.
Man, I forgot how much freaky stuff was in Ocarina of Time. The scariest games are never horror games.
If you've played this game, you'll immediately know what I'm referring to. It's this innocuous, unceremonious little thing you come across towards the end of the game. It's just a strange, rusty bin you come across, and you expect to find some ammo or items inside.
Instead is...a bag.
You hesitate for a moment, not sure what it's doing there. And then it starts to move. The filthy, stained bag starts thrashing and squirming and writhing in the bin. You have no idea what's inside. More importantly, you don't want to know what's inside. You're seriously unnerved now and decide it's best to empty a few rounds into the bag. It gives one last, deep convulsion, and lies still.
You thought you were playing Resident Evil, and suddenly the game went all Silent Hill on your ass.
Plaster Spider Splicers. Even after you KNOW they're alive, they still throw you off. It's really not a bad idea to shoot every statue in the head after that. Oh, and every dark spot on the ceiling, since they like hanging out up there too. They're silent except for the clanking of their claws, which sounds like just about every other ambient noise in Rapture. The worst part is when you hear their footsteps, and turn around just before they hit you. As soon as you lay eyes on them, they freeze. So you'll turn around to see a statue frozen in the exact moment before it was going to gut you. They're not even that threatening, but they WILL make you paranoid. I'll reiterate-They never let you see them move, and they sound like everything else.
Oh, and the Midwives from System Shock 2. Dead Space has nothing on that game.
Vagina doors from Prey, but they're not an enemy. When is a vagina ever the enemy? Please don't take that as a challenge to prove me wrong.
Facehuggers in AvP 2. Fast, tiny target that instakills. Much worse than poison headcrabs. Those things are just fat targets.
Anybody mention STALKER yet? The Snorks never bothered me too much, and Poltergeists weren't bad once you realized they couldn't really hurt you too much, but the Bloodsuckers...Were-Cthulhu with a Predator cloak. Jesus Christ, whoever thought up that gem deserves a medal, if they let him have it in whatever sanitarium he's in.

I am so glad I took entolomologist perk. Even with it they took a damn long time to kill.TheNumber1Zero said:Deathclaws? Bah, go face an Albino Radscorpoin, then we shall see if it's still Scary.
Anywyas, ever heard of the Redead?Scared the Crap outta me as a Kid.
(They still unnerve me)
Try the Facehuggers from the Alien films.kesslerparadox52 said:Probably pathetic compared to the others, but nothing scares me quite like the poison headcrab.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be not sleeping.

Then they do this!

Then they turn into this!
God, I wanna see those films. I've seen AVPR and played AVP2, but the classics still look awesome.
I'm not sure why but i have always been terrified of the Cacodemons (big red ball monster) from doom. The first time i encountered one i ran past where it was hiding and my blood froze when i heard a hiss, i turn around and almost scream when i see it.
I guess, ontop of how it looks, it has to do with the fact that they move silently and can fly. I actually have screamed when i'm on a raised ledge shooting at enemies from afar and then suddenly one of these bastards floats up right in front of me.

What happens if you don't shoot it?mechanixis said:
{Off-topic, who likes my new avatar? Should I go back?}
+1 for the Deathclaw. Who else discovered Old Olneye waaaay before they were leveled up enough to even think about being anywhere near it? I was on the way to Vault 92 to retrieve the Stradivarius for the old lady that lives in the wastes (Agatha?) and had no fucking idea what lay just a few hundred yards away from the entrance.
"Oooh look! A new town to loot!" thought I.......
I refused to go back until the Brotherhood of Steel made me. I took Fawkes, a fuckton of heavy artillery and spare sets of armour. I became addicted to umpteen different chems in an effort to boost my combat abilities and I was still bricking it the whole sodding time I was there.
