Get Fatal Frame, anyone of the 3, it's utterly creepy.
Or the first Silent Hill, scariest game for me that is without any doubt.

Fall will be here sooner than we know, and I need a new scary game to play in the fall.

The original Resident Evil freaked me out big time - remember playing that in the dark when I was young. Recently I found games like Bioshock and Dead Space pretty chilling...

Slender freaked me out. Must be watching the reactions first. I felt like I was lying to myself when I was "scared".

Haha, amazing.

Now, let's see...what really scared me? Nothing. There weren't any things that gave me nightmares. Of course there were things that startled me, but I don't consider those scary games.

Last week, after three years and thousands of gaming sessions, I finally saw the Jimmy Gibbs, Jr. zombie in Left 4 Dead 2. Supposedly there's only a 5% chance he'll spawn in the area available but I call bullshit on that. More like .009% chance.

That's weird, I didn't notice no one mentioned Amnesia. Now there a ton of mods for it, too. Some are really good. Like this one. Dude just freaks.

Also reminds me that I need to get my butt back on Eternal Darkness; the Olympics really sidetracked me.

Fatal Frame 2 was the scariest game I played when I was younger.

Now Amnesia: The Dark Descent is the scariest. I am very surprised that nobody mentioned it. Steam usually has it on sale for $5 to $10. Easily the scariest game available.

I should dig that up. I recall it being a rather interestting read...

ToothyOne- Yeah, it's not outright scary, but has a nice eeriness to it. Freaking statue heads! Right on about Alan Wake- haven't played it, but watched a Let's Play of it. It has repetitiveness, but there's enough other stuff going on that it's not too bad.

Fatal Frame is the game I have the most regret for not having played. Have heard it was one of the most intensely scary games of that era, I'm sure that I'd have loved it. It simply never appeared on my radar back then, couldn't play it nowadays no matter how good it is - gameplay is always more important than graphics obviously, but these days owning a 360 I just couldn't abide decade + old graphics.

I'm gonna go for naming possibly the oldest game in this thread. An RPG for the Amiga called Eye of the Beholder - The giant spider level, just below the dwarf chambers... you havent yet got fireball and one hit from a spider means death for one of your characters - very limited supply of antivenom. Incredibly basic graphics and sound.. but that clicking noise (a spider nearby) would still send shivers up and down my body now.

Incidentally, I'd love to see a Manhunt-style Friday the 13th game. As Jason, your goal is to rid Crystal Lake of various trespassing teens and the occasional bum hoping to score some of Ethel's best goddamn stew in the world.

Undying is an older PC game. Not sure if there was a console version. It has to be early 2000s. A great game if you can find it.

Lon, I love the looney bin scenes as well. The background character dialogue throughout the game is priceless.

I'd love to see a F13 game in the style of Manhunt as well, though I don't see Jason giving a damn about stealth. You could even give it a bit of a Dead Rising vibe and allow Jason to create weapons from whatever he finds laying about.
