Moments in games that scared you - Don't limit yourself to horror games either!

I used to turn on all the lights when playing Amnesia (which I usually never, ever do) and I still haven't finished it because I heard scary monster noises in the distance and went "nope" years ago.

Supposedly a Hard mode was released relatively recently for it. : P
 
Some of the random occurrences in the Fatal Frame games got me, like disembodied feet appearing or the lid of a kimono box suddenly shuffling.

The first time I saw one of the baby homunculi in Haunting Ground I freaked the fuck out and just stood still for a good minute, staring at it and trying to figure out what the hell it was.

The Silent Hill games never really "scared" me per say, but 3 had the most moments that creeped me out.
 
The hands that came out of the walls in the first Zelda, they were only in the first dungeon in the room before the first boss and they didn't kill you, just took you the start of the dungeon. Those freaked me out something fierce, and when re-playing the game 20 years later they still rekindled that kind of child like fear you never experience as an adult. It's fun to revisit things that scared the shit out of you as a kid because the fear is still there but it's a child's fear built around a child's thinking that you experience.
 
When I was 7 or so (I was young and don't remember the exact age), I saw my dad fighting The Sorrow in Metal Gear Solid III. That man haunted my dreamscape for a while, and I had forgotten about it otherwise (thinking I had dreamt up The Sorrow myself) until I started doing research as a teenager. And ...that's about it, really?
 
The first time I ever saw someone playing a game was Ocarina of Time, and when they went to future castle town, the state it was in scared the shit out of me as a kid.

Lavander town scared me as well, couldn't handle going there in any game but Yellow.

House of the dead (2)? Was the only game to give me chills in broad daylight surrounded by people.

And the hotel level in VTMB only stopped being scary after my 8th playthrough, it was fucking terrifying as a malkavian

Those Cubones are some scary mf'ers. Think about it.

Yellow Pokedex dijo:
Wears the skull of its deceased mother. Its cries echo inside the skull and come out as a sad melody.

So all their moms are dead for some reason, and then on top of that, they wait out until she decomposes, and wear her skull like a hat. What. the. fuck.
 
The lurker shark from the original Jak and Daxter made me aquaphobic in video games. This monstrosity would eat you if you swam out too far, except in Rock Village where stepping foot in the water would summon it to devour you instantly. I hate the noise it makes when it starts coming up, and it freaked me the fuck out as a kid that it would just swallow you whole before going back down into the depths. I remember when I first played Kingdom Hearts as a young kid, I was scared of going out too far in the ocean because I thought a big fish would come and eat you.

That fucking shark also instilled a fear of being swallowed whole in any game, not just Jak and Daxter. I remember being terrified by the Boss Bass levels in Super Mario Bros. 3 for the same reason. That's also why I found Yawn scary in the original Resident Evil, not because he can poison you, but because he can instantly eat you.
 
The "Dentist Chair" (observatory room) in Myst. Because my asshole sister was playing it while I watched and she made up, on the spot, a story about a mad dentist that tied people to the chair and pulled teeth without anesthesia.

The skinless atlanteans in Tomb Raider are scary, but the pulsating meat walls with a heartbeat sound are even scarier. Also the sharks in Tomb Raider 2.
 
I still remember the first time I played the alien abduction at the dairy farm in Majora's Mask. It made me sweat.
 
I don't know if being tense is the same way as being scared because I rarely had those moments but when I played SH3, the way he laughs and menacing stalks me around kept me on edge and when the apartment starts getting haunted that shit was fucking scary. :)
 
There's something about oceans in videogames that freaks me out.
For example, Subnautica's early game, before you get your submarine and Prawn Suit is just completely terrifying due to how helpless you are. Diving into a cave and seeing a fucking crashfish suddenly come out and start swimming at me made me scream in sheer panic.

And GTAV. The shallow waters are fine and even beautiful to look at, but taking a sub and venturing deeper lets you reach the point where sunlight stops piercing the water and suddenly you're in pitch black. No sunlight, no angler fish, not even your submarine lights work due to having nothing to possibly illuminate and everything is silent save for your engine.
There's no danger unless you go too deep and get yourself crushed, but you do have to go pretty dangerously close to the high pressure to get some of the collectable waste barrels. Even with the lack of threats though, that place just deeply unsettles me.
