13 Frightening Moments In Games That Live In Our Heads Rent Free

From the spectral Hym Demon in The Witcher 3 to the ghastly Bubble Head Nurses in Silent Hill 2, this is some of the scariest shit in games

We’re about a week and some days away from Halloween, my fave holiday, but the spooky season is already in full swing here at Kotaku. While I’ve recently blogged about FromSoftware games—and Bloodborne’s Amygdala—giving me the creeps, I figured I’d expand the scope and round up some of the most terrifying moments in games, period. Because there are plenty.

This list kinda has it all. There are the super creepy necromorphs in Dead Space. You’ve got the incredibly eerie Shalebridge Cradle in Thief: Deadly Shadows. And of course there’s a nod to Silent Hill 2, which Konami confirmed is getting remade by Layers of Fear developer Bloober Team. So what are we waiting for? You’re not…scared, are you?
