Condemned. Didn't play it for months because it terrified me and only did finish when a friend sat next to me and kept calling me a pussy. Funnily enough when I tried to play it with a room full of non-gamers we lasted ten minutes.

Same here.......Well, I *did* end up purchasing the game a year later, but that demo really left me perturbed.fish food carl said:
...........Maybe part of that reason was that BioShock was the very first survival-horror game I had ever laid eyes on.......
The exact same thing is the reason why I still refuse to play doom 3, funny story though, my 6 year-old brother loves the game...white_salad said:
The first time this happened to me was when I was very young with the first Half-Life game. I think it was a room full of crates or something, and roughly there, the alien things started appearing in the game. I have never went back to play through that game.. When I get my hands on a copy though, I will!
Second time was with Half-Life 2 in Ravenholm. It might have taken as much as 8 play sessions to get through that place for me. I did manage it though, and when I replayed the game on a harder difficulty, it was no problem.
Otherwise, I very rarely play Doom 3 for more than an hour at a time. Usually I play between 30 minutes and an hour. This is simply because I hate being startled like that. For example, when you're entering a completely dark room. You turn on the flashlight, walk into the room. At the far end of the room, you finally see a zombie (havent heard anything before that). Take out the shotgun, shoot his head of. Turn flashlight back on, and suddenly you're attacked. You now have 3 zombies behind you, and while trying to shoot them in the complete darkness, there appears 2 behind you as well. You now have 3-4 zombies to deal with, in the dark (depending on how many you managed to shoot before all appeared). I hate that, and might never finish Doom 3.
Those are the only times I've been forced to turn of a game because of wussing out though.

Extermination (at least i think thats what it was called) for the PS2 random alien parasites everywhere ready to face jump you.
Bioshock- As previously mentioned the first step out of the bathy sphere with the splicer taunting you *shivers*
Half Life 2- Ravenholm.
Resident Evil 1 for the PS1- okay I knew there was going to be zombies but for the first half hour or so i shat myself waiting for one running around in that creepy old house. Then without warning they started bursting out the walls behind me! Damn zombie dogs.
Vampires the Masquerade: Bloodlines- the haunted hotel level with ghosts throwing stuff at you, random laughing and "get out" appearing on walls meant I turned it off till morning. If you haven't played it, its way scarier than I can describe.
Yes I am quite a wuss but I went back and completed them all save Resident Evil 1
Edited for spelling/caps and replaced missing I's (my I key is busted)

Well I was playing Ninja Gaiden (mind you, for a very long time so I was extremely into the damn game I didn't know there was even an outside world).
So I was playing the sewer level and after a while when you fight through tons of those little buggers with glowing heads you get to a big room where there's a bossfight. Well this boss introduction movie (combo of music, screams and nice camera angles on a huge dinosaur like creature) freaked me out that much (it was also quite late mind you) that I immeadiately went to the start menu and shut off my Xbox. I haven't played that game anymore until recently me and my buddy went on a crusade to finish the whole game together, because we thought it would be funny to do
Also keep in mind that my original copy of NG was already sold by then and so was my Xbox, so we used his instead.
Also Thief: Deadly Shadows. The Cradle. Oh my god that freaked me out, chilled me to the bone. I finished it though, but only because I didn't want to leave Garrett behind in that aweful place.

Me no like the hotel bit. I thought 'Oh, it'll be fine, I'm a badass creature of the night. No. No I wasn't. But if it meant naughty time with slutty vampire. Aaaaaw yeaaaah.Scorched_Cascade said:
Agree with others about Ravenholm. I also didn't like it when you get hunted by the first hunter in episode 2. When you drop down and it's the other side of the glass. I was so freaked.
I finished it a week after, but I was terrified for a long time before I managed that when you're in the asylum-ish building, lights shut off, and those creepy zombies were waiting for me downstair...
I'm actually pretty ashamed of this story, but oh well:
Me and two buddies were playing The Thing (I know... we were young(er)) on the PC. The whole game through we were so afraid due to the whole atmosphere of isolation, that even the smallest things were enough to creep us out. This all culminated in one particular scene, where we were in a kitchen, I think. As we had cleared the room and flipped some switches, it started banging on a large steel door. Cocky as we were, we quickly placed ourselves in front of it, ready to blast whatever came through to kingdom come. That was the plan anyways. Once the thing burst through (I still have no idea what it was, due to graphics), and we shat our pants (not literally), and threw ourselves on the power switch. We never finished the game.
Funny story, though: A couple of months ago I reinstalled it, and the only thing I can remember from the play-through is, "My God! Another f-ing fuse-box!".

I think a big part of being scared of something is the age at which you experience it. Stuff like Resident Evil and Silent Hill doesn't bother me and never has.
However, put me in front of Nightbreed on the Amiga and I'll completely flip out. It scarred me for life after I played it at the age of 8. Friends have seen my reaction, and they just laugh, but I can't help it. I cannot bring myself to play it, even to this day.
Something about it is just deeply, deeply disturbing - the music is weird, the main character looks deranged yet completely pathetic, and when you get bitten in the neck... my God, I just can't stand it. Give it a try, see what you think. Chances are you won't be remotely scared by it, but hopefully you can see it through the eyes of an 8 year old and sympathise with how I felt at the time.

There was a game on newgrounds once which freaked the hell out of me. Can't remember what it was called now, but you played the part of a little girl who returns home one day to find blood on the door. From then on, you have to point and click your way around your house, and one wrong move, andit cut to the scene of the guy who'd murdered your dad and raped your mother waking up in your parents bad with a growl, picking up the knife, and then it cut to a blank screen, running footsteps, a stabbing sound and a pitiful choking noise. I kept trying it, nerves on edge, and on that same day, I managed to get into the parent's bedroom without her screaming or otherwise giving away her position, and then the guy comes and out nowehre, running right at you when you're in first person view, then you see him stab the girl in the neck.
I slept with the lights on that night.
Also, the original Alone in the Dark was hella scary when I was younger. I had weird nightmares about it.
