outside the horror genre that
nevertheless managed to strike fear into
everyone loves opening treasure chests
and video games it usually means picking
up some money or a new piece of
equipment and sometimes there’s a spiffy
tune to go along with it the sadistic
minds behind the Soul series knew this
all too well and created mimics
creatures that look almost exactly like
ubiquitous chests except that instead of
giving something to you they’re trying
to take your life grabbing the player
with hidden arms and holding them while
their massive lead jaws chomp on you
mimics are the perfect illustration that
almost nothing and nowhere is safe in a
number nine snacker the shark banjo
kazooie while some of the enemies in
this classic rare game can be
threatening only one is truly scary
snacker his name may not inspire fear
but his presence certainly does in
treasure trove Cove and a few other
locales
if the player swims in the open ocean
they will instantly find themselves the
target of snacker the local shark not

immediately and repeatedly but the music
will also shift to a menacing riff
reminiscent of the theme from Jaws and
just like that film snacker will have
number eight fallows cave story
[Music]
Cave Story has several surprisingly
scary enemies but its most terrifying is
definitely its hidden finalboss ballast
located at the end of a level so
difficult it’s nicknamed hell ballast is
a powerful sorcerer whose magic drove
him mad killing his wife and children
while he laughed his appearance alone is
quite disturbing possessing red and
white eyes and an unsettling grin as
well as several transformations in two
huge heads that super-sized these scary
features his boss fight is terrifyingly
difficult to devolve into chaos that
will have first-time players
most mario enemies are fairly cute in
design but some of them have got some
teeth to them literally even so in most
cases you can see them coming
however gaming’s most famous franchise
has only had a few jump scares in its
time and its biggest one occurs in big
boos haunt where a certain room in the
mansion has a piano at first it appears
to be a normal piano but if the player
approaches it the instrument will come
to life opening its lid and snapping at
you with a huge bang to mouth as it skis
Thunder threatening Liat you number-6
redeads The Legend of Zelda series Zelda
games have a number of undead enemies
but easily the most consistently
frightening are the redeads usually
taking the form of zombie like creatures
these enemies usually wear a dead-eyed
mask or sport large to the mouths
in either case their behavior is the
same while slow-moving redeads are able
to freeze the player in place if they
see them letting out a terrifying shriek
they then slowly approach the player and
although it’s possible to break free and
get out of their range the sense of
helplessness and the way they latch on
to you if and when they reach you is a
very disturbing experience number 5
monster Ock spider-man
[Music]
Marvel’s friendly neighborhood wall
crawler has his share of scary foes but
this video game managed to make one even
scarier by combining two of them upon
the defeat of carnage its symbiote takes
over the body of Doctor Octopus turning
him into a monstrous fusion of the two
villains the horrific fleshy looking
character is frightening enough on his
own but the fact that he then proceeds
to chase the player slash Spidey through
a series of tight corridors while
yelling die and other threats is
gonna flow number four Psycho Mantis
Metal Gear series this stealth action
series has plenty of colorful and
threatening villains but this psychic
boss is easily one of the scariest
sporting a gas masks and a creepy voice
Psycho Mantis also manages to get inside
players heads by breaking the fourth
wall appearing to mess with the TV
settings activating rumble features on
the controller and even reading the
memory card and discussing other video
games Super Mario Sunshine happens
additionally the unconventional method
of defeating Psycho Mantis plugging the
controller into another port means that
he’s a very tough and frustrating boss
to fight against number three scarecrow
Batman Arkham series how many lives will
you destroy in pursuit of what you call
justice what better choice for a scary
video game characters list than a
fear-based supervillain scarecrow is a
member of Batman’s rogues gallery who in
the Arkham franchise wears a dessicated
mask like the farm decorations he takes
his name from while also sporting
injectors willed with fear toxin on his
hands kind of like Freddy Krueger
scarecrow inspires fear among the
citizens of Gotham as well as the Dark
Knight and players find themselves
experiencing vivid hallucinations
brought on by his signature concoction
man with his menacing voices frightening
appearance and terror inducing weaponry
scarecrow may not be a horror villain
but he’s definitely clothes die knowing
that I will make them suffer everyone
number two
the final boss of this largely silly
game turns the style of earthbound
completely on its head a formless evil
of mysterious origin gigas is a
profoundly disconcerting character
though it has been built up throughout
the game gigas is still a surprise when
Ness and friends finally face it with
its terrifying amorphous face creepy
dialogue and literally indescribable
attacks gigas proves so powerful and
intimidating that the only thing you can
do against it is literally prey well
that and hope the nightmares don’t last
[Music]
a charming 3d platformer ahead in time
also has one of the scariest characters
outside of a horror game queen Vanessa
while investigating her manner the
player encounters the shadowy being with
red glowing eyes who freezes any
intruders in her home close proximity to
her majesty causes the screen to distort
and the music to intensify making for an
experience right out of a horror game
the house is creepy atmosphere along
with your complete inability to do
damage to her helps to create a truly
