Scariest Video Game Moment Ever?

Well, as Halloween approaches, this topic seems to be suitable! What do you think the scariest moment of video game history is?

I was coming close to saying the dog from RE1 original for PS, but then I remembered something else I had nightmares about -- the spiked rabbit at the end of the Ultimate Doom. So, what would you vote on being the scariest?

I like games with more mental terror than boogeymen jumping out to get you. One of the freakiest moments in games comes from Bioshock, when you're trying to hunt down the mad plastic surgeon. The tapes describing his depravity are all good, but there's one where a nurse is trying to talk sense into the doc while he's humming and grinding on some poor victim. It's a darn scary moment.

The introduction video of Resident Evil 2 still holds up as being pretty scary, but age hasn't done it well. But the absolute freakiest moment in a video game comes from the last Police Quest game (I believe it was four). The entire ending sequence starting with awakening in the theater to find a body near you scared the bejesus out of me.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, when Nemesis crashed the Police Station as you were coming down a flight of stairs. nemes1s3000

There was another part where you walk down a long hallway into a large room. Right when you pick up the key, Nemesis busts through the wall. I totally expected that, but when you knock him out and leave the room, you start walking down the hallway, which now has a big Nemesis-sized hole in it. Right when you walk past the hole, he busts through the wall again, and you have nowhere to run. That scared the crap out of me. I was yelling "Oh God diediediediedie" while pumping him full of bullets.

RES Evil 1 with the dogs was for sure a moment that will live on for a long long time. However, the Fatal Frame games take the cake for me. Some of the scenes were flat out creepy! The girl getting out of the box, looking through the camera with limited field of vision.... AHHHHHH!

What is this RE1 dog part that everyone keeps talking about?Mr-WASDman00

In RE1 there is a dog the suddenly jumps through a window and attacks you... The first time around you do NOT see that coming and gives a nice shock :)

My scariest moment in a game outside eerie settings/music/themes, was in HL2, but it wasnt a planned one (by the developers i mean)... but there i was, clearing a whole room full of standard "Zombies" and fine, not hard, not scary.... so i start reloading thinking the room was dead, and out of NOWHERE a Zombie rises up right in front of me where it's head fills me whole screen. I literally jumped out of my chair because of the shock... That was fun :D

The bit of Resident Evil 4 where you go into a shed and theres a guy hiding around there with an axe, you can't see him and he just slices you as soon as you walk in. I was also in the house alone, with all of the lights turned off. Manghan

The best way to play horror games :D

I got the 3 red lights of doom while playing Halo 3 :onobodyshero87

• Resident Evil (PS) - The encounter with the first zombie in the game, feasting on your teammate Kenneth.
• Resident Evil (PS) - The first time the dogs jumped through the windows in the hallway.
• Resident Evil 4 (GC) - The first encounter with a regenerator.
• Resident Evil 4 (GC) - The first encounter with the blind wolverine wannabe's.
• Resident Evil (GC) - The first encounter with that crazy-lookin' indestructable little girl that moans at you.

F.E.A.R. has plenty of good, frightening sequences, There are a couple from Extraction Point as well, particularly the point where you're male teammate is getting destroyed right beside you, and the lights flickering on and off, with more floating corpses appearing each time.

Resi 4 has a few, I think the garden with the zombie dogs stood out to me in particular.

But the scariest moment for me, was in Eternal Darkness, you are just harmlessly exploring the house pressing the examine button on most things you come across for little descriptions or maybe an item, nothing really scary going on, then you examine the bathtub expecting to get a little description or something, but instead are treated to a flashing, zooming sequence of you're corpse in the tub full of blood and a huge scream that lasts for about half a second.

In other games, you know when something scary is gonna happen, but oh no, Eternal Darkness seriously f***ed with the mind of the player. False messages telling you it's erasing your memory card, a screen that looks like the "video" channel on your TV to make it seem like the console turned off. Yes that game was awesome.
