First we have blinky bill and his ghost cave… i was like 3 and was scared by everything even a benign pc game, i actually struggle to remember exactly what it was that I was even afraid of.

Next up was 40 winks cos like its spooky

Next up is soul reaver 2 specifically watching my dad play this section collecting the coloured hearts and having them beating and bleeding all over the floor

Scooby doo classic creep capers on the gba very specifically the shaggy clones genuinely terrfied me. Also this is probably one of the best scooby doo games ever made absolutely recommend playing.

I cant find a single good photo of it somehow cos google search is fucked but silent hill 2 ps2 demo in woodside apartments. Idk how or why i had a demo disc for silent hill 2 but i thought the healing drinks were ketchup bottles and id reboot the console when id hear the static and shuffling from the first enemy and spent half my childhood wondering what was stuck in the trash chute.

Trash chute JPEG living rent free in my head for years

I had to get my brother to play the undercity section of KotOR, the rakghouls (space zombies) scared me too much. It doesn't help that the people living inside the dilapidated outcast village tell you that you'll get infected by a single bite and transform into a horrible monster if you go outside the walls. Not to mention the fact that several villagers are sick in quarantine, and will transform if you approach them without the cure that you get a while later.

And of course, the first time you approach the village gate you see a villager begging to be let back in as he's being chased by one of the creatures. You have to choose whether to let him in and fight the rakghouls or let him die (which the gate guard begs you to do, for the safety of the village). They don't look super intimidating in retrospect, but I literally wouldn't set one foot outside of the gates until my brother showed me that they don't actually infect your character with the disease (it's just a poison DoT in game)
