I’ve been playing horror games for a while now and I’m curious about what other players think. There are so many different types of scary creatures and enemies in these games. Some games have zombies that shamble around, others have ghosts that appear out of nowhere, and then there are those weird monsters that look really disturbing. I’m wondering what kind of enemy or creature type you find the most frightening when you’re playing horror games. Is it the ones that chase you really fast, or maybe the ones that hide and jump out at you? What makes certain enemies scarier than others in your opinion?
Necromorphs from Dead Space get me every time. The way they move and attack from weird angles is just brutal.
Those that sneak up on you and then surprise you are definitely the creepiest. The shock really hits hard!
The worst enemies for me? Those that almost look human but something’s just… wrong. The mannequins in Condemned or SOMA’s creatures that used to be people. I’ll take obvious monsters any day over these almost-human things. When something looks normal but moves weird or makes disturbing sounds - that’s what really creeps me out.
The Silent Hill nurses are definitely memorable. Their unsettling appearance makes them so disturbing.
The ones you hear but can’t see mess me up the most. You know something’s hunting you but have zero clue where it is.
