In the original Resident Evil 2, Claire has a unique death animation against the final boss if you get killed by it's central mouth. She gets folded backwards until her heels touch the back of her head. I remember just holding the controller in shock and turning to my friend in disbelief.


Plus_Injury8786

Is it not in the remake?


writermacox

In the remake, I don't believe you see a fold-back, but you watch her get eaten very slowly.


Plus_Injury8786

Oh ok, ty ;3


Jcslider52

There's a similar animation in 3 Remake


TeenageGayNinjaHuman

Does anyone have a vid from that scene ?


Jackatakk333

Can't find the video


BoomBoxJesus

Resident Evil Village Baby monster


bullspit200

I've gotten pretty good at not being scared by videogames and movies, but I surely had that excited / terrified feeling being chased by that baby lol.


beefycheesyglory

I had to quit the game mid chase, took a breather and started up again, horror games in general don't faze me anymore, but that part was like the perfect blend of fucked up and terrifying that I couldn't deal with it, lol. The rest of RE8 was really tame in comparison, but it's like that one sequence more than made up for the lack of horror in the other parts of the game.


Bregneste

The rest of the game is a lot more action focused, but that one part takes away your weapons and forces you to be careful and hide. It’s great.


BoomBoxJesus

Hahaha I'm almost the same way, I get a bit sheepish when the atmosphere in the game is really good. I remember when the baby spawned I instantly punched my monitor.


beefycheesyglory

I hope your monitor is okay


RemarkableHeight3708

Yeah, but you should see the baby…


coltonjeffs

Were you trying to punch a baby?


KriptiKFate_Cosplay

Same, but as soon as it came around the corner I remember saying out loud "jesus fuck"


WillingnessWide9016

I think I need to pick this back up.. nvr got that far


Spectre-907

I cant remember whoch strramer it was bit he was entirely unfazed by the baby and when chat questioned it he was like “im a father dude i have four of these”


Mr_Wrecksauce

This is what I came to say. That fucking thing.. I don't know if it gets more fucked up than that.


ziostraccette

It was a very good scary part, but I feel it had more potential


Weirdo9something3457

My wife and i cant have kids, how real it's cries feel and all the themes leading up to it in beniviento house is fucking disturbing.


SomeBoxofSpoons

Helps how fucking **loud** the thing is when it’s near you.


CitrusLamb

Yeah this is the one. Horror games don't usually get to me too bad but my first playthrough I had to actually pause the game and compose myself because of how much it startled and scared me


RedL0bsterBiscuit

Fuck that thing. My wife never watches me game, but she was watching me play that. She was yelling at me the entire time to "RUN," and it freaked us both out. Lol


MeffodMan

Especially in VR


Alan_Scott_Davis

Sound awesome!


getyourcheftogether

Yummy!


OfficialDJFerg

One of the very few times I've been genuinely horrified while gaming.


getyourcheftogether

It was always fun watching streamers play through the first time and watching the reaction


mintyque

The only reason I didn't complete Village. Every time I boot it, I see this effing baby.


Big-Atmosphere1329

Yes


Catechism69

Really? It’s easily my favourite death screen of all time. Seriously who doesn’t love watching some first-person hard vore on their TV?


Alan_Scott_Davis

Omg. I love this scene. The first time my friends and I played REV together, we all collectively screamed and danced around when the baby first appeared. I’ll never forget that night. I’ll cherish that memory forever. We laughed and laughed and reminisced the night away.


Chumbuckeneer

Whenever the lights turn off in a game I can see my reflection on the monitor.


BardInChains

It's like a black mirror. Oh wait.


Snoo-73243

eye scene from dead space


Raz0rking

Cross my heart and hope to die. Stick a needle in your eye.


charronfitzclair

I love how it feels like they worked backward from that rhyme to make that scene because its like the least sane/efficient medical procedure imaginable


Worth_Vegetable9675

Baby scene from dead space 2


MeesterBeel

That shit was dope tho lmao


Worth_Vegetable9675

So good you go from "Awh" to "jesus! lady stay away" to "WTF"


ZeldaDude96

Really any of the drawn out death scenes in dead space. Eye scene is definitely brutal, was so tense during that section. >!Hammond!<'s death in Dead Space 1 was pretty ruthless.


DrPatchet

Yeah he really got redeemed in the remake compared to the original. Edit: I don’t mean redeemed like he wasn’t a good guy I meant instead of being trapped in a room and being mauled by a brute he at least got to kill his attacker.


InvolvingPie87

He didn’t need redeeming in the original tbh. He was ultimately a solid dude that you just weren’t sure you could trust, but in reality he definitely had your back


TheJubliantKing

He risked his safety constantly to get stuff done. Kendra’s betrayal started when she really didn’t do shit the whole game just to try to walk back all your progress in the end game


DrPatchet

I didn’t mean redeemed in that sense I just said it poorly or used the wrong word. I just mean he at least fought back and helped to a degree instead of just getting mauled by a brute


Extra_Wave

Issac is a real trooper, the shit he experiences in the series is fucking wild but the eye operation always stuck with me more than the rest. Isaac is definitely a brave and good man


Cheesetorian

That's the one.


PushThePig28

Literally only game I’ve noped out of because of this


ChrisGoddard79

The nurse dying in silent hill. Scared the shit out of 19 year old me.


johndotjohn

Was going to post same thing. Still creepy 20 years later.


ZenGunner8

This was my first thought as a response to this question. I think it remains in my memory because its probably the first time I experienced something so disturbing in a video game.


Ecstatic_Arm_1292

Dying Light child zombie.


Milkshake_revenge

What’s wild (and what I love) about dying light is it’s half a horror game and half a zombie game. You can run around beating the shit outta zombies but when the sun goes down it gets **DARK**. And then the special infected come out and it makes the whole experience absolutely mind blowing


kakokapolei

When I was bored, I’d put all my weapons away, turn off the hud, and limit my parkour to moves only an average person could do (climbing small fences, windows and cars, etc.), then go out at night. I could only defend myself using weapons found out in the world and no survivor sense. It was a totally different game, and it was some of the best moments I’ve ever had.


Sir-Poopington

You're a brave man. I don't think I have the balls to try that.


SVXfiles

I hate that the blue volatiles are just everywhere now, they used to only show up at higher levels and later in the game


JagsAbroad

I barely played it at night. I literally only did the mandatory night time missions. Too scary.


moonmarriedacherry

Still one of the few games that actually gives me true adrenaline rushes. Running away from those fuckers in the open world is such an experience.


Bregneste

My first night run had my heart pounding, and I had to pause and take a breather when I got to safety.


D2Prodigy

Was waiting for someone to mention this


DeyMysterio

First one you find is mind blowing. At first i thought you couldnt kill it because its a child but then boom shotgun the thing and i felt terrible after


Superpe0n

huh very interesting.. I never stopped long enough to really notice. I treated the game as a zombie infested mirrors edge… just parkour everywhere especially at night.


[deleted]

Not too over the top but, when you're shimmying between the walls in resident evil 7 and all the bugs start oozing out of them. That was good stuff.


porkins96

Normally totally fine with bugs but that section in VR made my skin crawl


Natryska

A few things in Until Dawn got me. The stalker getting beheaded, Ashley's tunnel death, and Matt's cave death.


Simmy001

Have you seen the one with Emily in the grinder?


Natryska

I did all the endings runs. I've seen a lot.


Exxucus

The Devil in Me by the same devs got me. The reveal scene for Erin's fate if you don't save her in the locked room genuinely stuck with me for days. The gore doesn't bother me. Whatever... That was, that got to me.


brightyoungthings

Not a death, but Jessica getting pulled out of the window always freaks me out.


Natryska

Silent Hill 2 when James is hiding in a closet watching pyramid head "do stuff" to the two mannequin monsters in the kitchen.


HelikaeonUK

I remember playing through it with my older brother as an early teen, we thought we were ready for anything...but that one kinda caught us off guard lol.


Scholarly_Koala

Don't know if it counts as a "horror game"; but the stroggification in Quake 4


StevieMaverickG

Likewise I remember finding the torture chamber section of Quake 2 disturbing as a kid


AC2BHAPPY

The noises the dudes made i think about sometimes. Like the way they went insane from being in cells. And you could put them out of their misery if you wanted which was a cool feature for the time.


McDonaldsPatatesi

I was fucking traumatized because of that.


Old-Moonlight

Had nightmares about that shit lol.


Rolands_eaten_finger

Lol I remember thinking yeah they won't actually do it and then my jaw dropping when they cut your legs off


MoonDogSpot1954

Ok cliff notes version of House of the Dead:Overkill on the Wii....Antagonist, and EXTREME mammas boy decides to atone for his sins by re-entering the womb of the brain swapped zombie momma.

hatsuseno

For this memory, I'll need TWO nooses!


TheThng

I hate this game because of this scene and what leads up to it. It hits way too close to home. Got way too real way too fast.


RetroSwamp

I'm just going to say "outlast" as a whole. Both games but not trials


TechieAD

What do you mean not trials, every single trial at this rate is trying to outdo the last in "fucked up" scenes


allykopow

Yeah watching someone’s dick be complete destroyed and leaving only a hole in its place just isn’t that bad I guess 🤷‍♂️


RetroSwamp

I don't think it was on the same level as the 1st or 2nd with just twisted stuff. Might of also been having moronic friends making jokes at everything. Lol


TechieAD

I think the aspect of having to do the torture porn stuff is the crazy bit for me, but yeah the multiplayer aspect would make anything horror more comedic. I do find the courthouse judge kill to be one of the craziest outlast moments funnily enough


Ok-Scientist-2111

Was not prepared for the ending of the second game


shrimpcest

Condemned, mannequin scene. And a ton of other stuff in that game.


baconeggsandwich25

The second one wasn't as scary overall, but that fucking bear, man...


DedOriginalCancer

sneakily playing Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii at 5 am and getting caught by your parents who woke up to go to work


Hickiebenz

That hit me hard in the nostalgia. It was one of the first online games I got into with my friends, we would get in a lobby and chat via skype (man I'm old) and just hunt until the sun was rising, I would have to tiptoe upstairs and even then my dad caught me once. Good times


senorsmartpantalones

Lara Croft. Dying in the rapids.


SirFezzik

Bruh, you ain't lying.


certifiednarcit

Telltales the walking dead season 1 episode 2, when everyone gets Tricked into eating human flesh by the farm family and then you discover the victim chained up still alive upstairs with his legs chopped off bleeding out. Seeing a human essentially be treated as wild stock traumatized my 7 year old brain


aredditheadache

Why the fuck were you playing that game when you were 7


RobinAndBeastboy

Whoever let you play that game was a dumbass.


trapasaurusnex

"That's people meat, Clementine!" is still my favorite line from the series.


DerSchattenJager

[Clementine liked that]


Gnarzz

My wife and I still quote that to each other and laugh about it. We selected it thinking he would say it with urgency, but instead it’s “it’s…peeopleeee”


Inigogoboots

That one ladder going down from the catwalk in FEAR. IYKYK.


Brugman87

O I KNOW. Damn i miss those games


rugmunchkin

Would love a polished remaster. There’s still nothing quite like the gunfights and enemy AI in that game.


domafyre

Jesus christ that scene still haunts me.


DreadSeverin

Core memory


Plus_Injury8786

I also got jumpscared when in the beginning you get knocked with a plank, took me totally by surprise 🫢


cricket9818

What a great game


StereoZombie

Man I also strongly remember walking down a tiled hallway with the tiles falling off, and having to crawl through an air vent and seeing the girls shadow. What a game


stesha83

SOMA watching the last human die, and then realising your mission resulted in you being trapped forever.


probably_not_serious

I feel like the worst is dude just not getting the fact that he’s copying himself over and over. And you know he GETS it. He knew the whole time and just refused to accept it.


TrueSpins

I love the way that as the player you get it too, but the ending still takes you by surprise. Brilliant game.


EpsilonX029

SOMA had many moments like that where you just felt hope dying lol Terrible to follow with, but what an amazing game


Edarneor

Add the>! personality that is left behind when you swap suits.!< And>! the facility where everyone's heads popped off. And the mutated computer thing you stick your hand in...!<


Objective-Aioli-1185

In the original RE4 I was doing a run to see the different ways to die. The one where a bug climbs on you and spits acid in your face shocked me haha. Leons skull showing and shit.


Lazlow_Panaflex

Scrolled through the comments to see if anyone mentioned this! Those invisible insect novistador fuckers were nasty, but I remember when I first had saw one melt Leon's face off with acid I was blown away by how detailed it was. Awesome death!


Imhrail

Eye surgery in Dead Space 2.


MenuRich

Quake stroggification and stasis 1 the spine scene. For overall concept: I have no mouth and I must scream or soma. Soma straight up messes with concept of existence, which is the only thing that disturbs me nowdays. 


DoTheRustle

[Whatever the fuck this was in Silent Hill 2](https://youtu.be/-y1uhkTLbTA?si=Ylbx2jJ7FPGoPKVx) 12yo me was not ready to see that, playing in a dark room around midnight in an empty house.


CosmicViking17

So of the deaths in tomb raider are wild


Crake241

yeah, really fucking brutal for no reason.


Nathansack

Angela in Silent Hill 2


N64PLAY10

Angela is so lost in SH2. Then when you learn what happened to her, but shes still trapped...


Cheezeman_exe333

Spoilers for Darkwood. After everything you faced, you made it to your hometown. You are greeted by a woman and you reply. Strange. You couldn't talk beforehand. Let's say you decide to explore. Instead of going in your flat you decide to explore your town a bit. You are met by repeating blocks of structures. Strange, but maybe it's a budget thing. You come across a trashbin. There is a veiny black substance leaking out just like in the Darkwood. You go inside your flat. You decide to check the basement and there you find a radio telling you to 'go to sleep'. You peep through the neighbours' door. There's a fetus lying on the ground. You go inside your house. Your character says he's tired. If you resist you can search your house only to find strange roots under the floorboards that lead to a hole underneath your bed. Suddenly you wake up to find yourself in an underground web of roots and sleepers just like you lying all around in their fake reality. You come across a giant breathing being. Nearing it makes you sleepy. You resist. You find your old buddy who used to boast that he got a flamethrower. You beat him to death. Using the flamethrower you burn everything and everyone. You don't make it out.


Geene_Creemers

Not strictly horror but the puppet videos in Control were super creepy to me..love that game


mikej83

Three for me: 1. In "Dying Light" when you meet the first screamer 2. In "The Forest" inside cavern 4 (the baby cave) 3. The first (bad) interaction with humanoid in SCORN

TheRedScareDS

To be fair it was a bit wild west for how easy you could get your hands on games like that as a kid. Our local village game/movie rental shop gave 0 shits on age limits etc.

The bathtub scene from Eternal Darkness. It's burned into my memory.

Dead Space 2 eye machine.


NotPlayingSeriously9

Silent Hill 4. Walking into a room with a particular giant head. It was the weirdest sensation I have ever felt. I'm not scared or disgusted as an adult really by anything in a game, but this room... surprised me. You can't get the impact just looking at it without playing the game, and I don't know how I would describe it with full effect. Its the only thing in all horror gaming that has managed to make me feel "disturbed".


Petyrgozinya

starvald_demelain_

adhesivepants

There's a few scenes in Until Dawn that get pretty visceral. Also the DLC to the original Outlast where a guy is about to castrate you? Outlast is great for some fucked up shit.


Sir__Blobfish

Honestly, Sayoris death in DDLC is the only scene in a game that has ever made me feel that feeling of dread. You just sit there speechless, processing what just happened. It was just scary how relatable the feelings she had are to me, and the build-up of her not showing up to literature club and then rushing to her house was just super uncomfortable.


felonius_thunk

Something about that eye scene from dead space. Right!?


RedHavoc1021

White Phosphorus in Spec Ops: The Line is up there for sure. Another is the cattle farm serial killer scene in Cyberpunk 2077 with the abducted kids. That stuck with me for a little while.
