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

THE SHARK IN BANJO KAZOOIE.

no one wasn't afraid of that shark. especially if you were a kid when that game came out

EDIT: And the humping zombies in OOT. Everyone was afraid of those bastards

From recent memory, the part in Resident Evil Revelations where you're tasked with locating the communications officer in the promenade deck and as you're approaching his voice echoes through the corridors:

"Mayday... Mayday... Emergency call number... This is the... Maaaaayyyydaaaayyyyy!"

As you get closer the words become more frantic and demonic... insane and giddy...

Chilling, and really sets up the hell of a boss fight that's coming x.x;

Playing Ocarina for the first time and getting grabbed by Dead Hand's arms while the enemy is coming right at me.

Oh jeez, the undead monsters from Ocarina of Time were horrifying when I was a kid. That shrill shriek the ReDeads emit really got to me, and still does. I used to be afraid to run through my friend's backyard (which was pretty much combined with mine) after dark because the way the shadows fell across the hilly terrain looked like ReDead's in their curled-and-waiting state.

Just to elaborate on the Game Boy Camera stuff...These error messages...

Like...Really...I guess one of the people who worked on the graphics for this game just had some wild fever dreams and had to get them down on paper. Still, since I didn't have any idea what an error was when I was like five...I seriously thought the game was trying to haunt me.

I remember when playing Halo I would always be looking around me frantically for any signs of the Flood. I hated the idea of being chased.
And then there's Beady Long Legs. Specifically the one from the first Pikmin game.
I can't really find a good picture of it, but in the first Pikmin game, BLL's body has a texture that makes it look as though it has two faces on it. And both of them still send shivers down my spine. One looks kinda like a fanged face with slit eyes, and the other one has huge blotchy eyes. I remember the first time the thing came down I screamed, ran all the way back to my ship, and ended the day.
The best picture I can find is this one, where you can only see the sides of the body where there aren't any faces. Well, you can see a bit of the fanged face on the left side of the image.

Spoiler

I mean, I'm not crazy right? I can't be the only one who noticed some faces on this thing.

This face of Sonic is horrifying. I had to see it in every electronic/media store in the UK when I lived there. I don't think I've seen a face of Sonic that looks freakier. His model Sonic Adventure DX has a prettier face than this.

Oh, i remember Beady Long Legs and Pikmin 1, i loved Pikmin 1 when i was younger!
Beady Long Legs never really scared me, i but he did make me really mad when he kept dancing and stomping my Pikmin. The Forest Navel is such a hard level.
But, i remember seeing Smokey Progg (Was that his name?) for the first time... Never on my life i saw such a terrifying frog

Oddly enough I've actually found games slightly more unnerving after growing up and knowing what the hell is going on in them. For example, the first time I played Majora's Mask, I don't think I even knew the moon was falling. Nowadays I know a lot more about the world of that game and it's actually fairly creepy.

Even as a kid, though, the SA-X scared the shit out of me. Entering a room only to hear those footsteps... yeesh. I think it's because they still leave me in control of Samus, so I get this subconscious feeling that if I do anything wrong the SA-X will catch me and kill me so I just sit there, terrified of even moving.

The DKC Game Over screen used to freak me out as a kid too. Dunno why. I just couldn't handle that shit.

[AuraLancer]

Yeah! More mention of the SA-X. Unfortunately for me, it's been so long since I've played it that it will once again be effective at making me nervous and paranoid if I ever go back to the game.

No matter how many times I play through a Zelda game, triggering a redead scream scares me every single time. It's a jumpscare, but still.
