Were there any stuff that scared you in video-games?

Shocked 
Or any stuff that still scares you in Video-games?
For me, i used to get scared as hell from some mad octopus that could barely even speak properly in one of the Freddi Fish 1 cutscenes when i was really young, and i also got scared from the trees that stole your stuff in Pajama Sam: No Need To Hide When It's Dark Outside (do you know a game with a longer title than this?), right when you enter the Land of darkness.

Oh, and i also got scared from lots of stuff from most Nintendo 64 games, like the Portrait Chompas on Mad Monster Mansion in Banjo-Kazooie, the piano that started biting you when you got close to it in Super Mario 64, and for some reason, King Kut-Out from Donkey Kong 64.
So, were there any things that scared you in Video-games?

Edit one: I found out the painting monsters are actually called "Portrait Chompa(s)", i also fixed some grammar mistakes, added some more lines, removed abbreviations and fixed some grammar mistakes because PRPR GRMR, and added some more things.

Super Metroid, Crocomire's bones.
First time beating the boss, see the flesh melt of the bones and being stuck until the next event occurs, which is the bones of that thing blasting through the wall for one last fake-out. I died 3 heart attacks that day.

Discovering the secret warp room in Crash Bandicoot: Warped.

Seeing that Lab Assistant generator below the Time-Twister for the first time was... it was quite the experience.

I was going to bring up the SA-X, but then I noticed you said "still scares you". I'm not sure there's anything anymore.

Crysallids in X-Com get to me. Nothing in that game scares me unless it can lift you by the chest with its jowls and impregnate your now zombified carcass.

I know google exists, but i'll post a picture of the octopus and the trees just because i couldn't find any good pictures, looking back at those they look like silly Disney movie villains, but they scared the crap out of me when i was young.

The Game Boy Camera had some freaky shit...

...At least, that's what went through my five-year-old mind at the time I played it :p.

There were also a few things about the visuals of Sonic 3D Blast that made me feel a bit unsettled.

Cerberus hallway in Resident Evil.

Interrogation room in Resident Evil 2.

It scared the shit out of me the first time and I think I'll remember that voice forever. ('A`)
I'm so glad the N64 was so unintentionally good at making really scary shit.

What scares me to this day, though is the recent Mortal Kombat games' fatalities - well, not so much scare me as much as make me squirm around in my seat. All my friends think they're hilarious, but me? It's gross Cry

Ah yes, there are quite a few gaming moments that are considered pure nightmare fuel to me, such as some of the 'Continue' and/or 'Game Over' screens/sequences in Donkey Kong Country, The Ooze, Skeleton Krew, and Batman & Robin (SEGA). Shocked

The zombies from the well in Ocarina of Time. Without the game guide and the mental support from my father and my grandmother, I wouldn't have made it.

Actually piggybacking off of this, I was always afraid to get a game over in DKC games because of this. 

I used to play around with a Game Genie with some of my games when I was younger, but the only game I really used it with was Super Mario World because it was too hard for me as a kid without infinite lives. One time I tried using it with DKC2 and I got the scariest error screen my little 8-year-old mind could process.

(I could've sworn the screen had a red overlay and said "An error has been detected." at the top, making it even more chilling)

I never used that Game Genie agan. I was horrified.

Sure I could've used a "master code" to work around it but oh my gosh the damage was already done lmao. I didn't want to be Diddy Kong in that image.
