"The 3 types of terror: The Gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs, it's when the lights go out and something green and slimy splatters against your arm. The Horror: the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, the dead waking up and walking around, it's when the lights go out and something with claws grabs you by the arm. And the last and worse one: Terror, when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It's when the lights go out and you feel something behind you, you hear it, you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around, there's nothing there..." -Steven King

A few weeks ago, we decided to visit our old primary school with a couple of friends. The building was abandoned, so we turned on the flashlights of our phones so that we could see in the lower floors. We were totally expecting darkness, but we saw *a room with the fucking lights on.* We just noped out of the whole thing and went out as quickly as we could. Even a room with the lights on can be very very scary if you don't expect it.

The SCP website is a great example of uncanny horror. Sure, it has a variety of different articles, but a lot of them are actually scary because they're close to normal, but not quite there. Another type of horror is the weird. Something so strange it is terrifying. An example of this kind of horror is SCP-3840. That one stuck with me for a while.

Psychological horror is the most terrifying thing to me, the subtle unease, the unshakeable feeling that something is wrong, something tiny

True horror is psychological horror. The reason why jump scares are cheap is because it is simply a jump. True horror holds you still while you look upon true horror, it does not let you go.

I guess Majora's Mask works pretty well with this. Since a number of us already played Ocarina of Time, this parallel universe seems a little... strange, frightening, and yet familiar with us on our emotions.

One of the most powerful parts of Majora's Mask to me, was that bad things had already happened, which I did not expect from a Zelda game. The uncanny comes in, not only in the slightly off world, but the slightly off narrative. Pretty much every other Zelda game, if you do the relevant quest, everyone is happy at the end. But that didn't apply to Majora, the only thing you could do there was to make the best of a bad situation. No matter what you did, the Deku Butler lost his son, Darmani still fell to his death, Mikau still bleed out on that beach, and the Kingdom of Ikana still saw all of its citizens killed. Majora's Mask was unique in that tone, of bad things happening and the only thing you could do is to move on. That's where the uncanny slips in, and what makes it unsettling and memorable.

I gotta agree with that. I wouldn't class it as a conventional "horror game", but there was just a persistent sense of something dark and weird through the whole game, even while it was often fairly cheerful and had a fairly optimistic ending. I think this was a big contributing factor in the success of that well-known creepypasta based on it, whatever exactly it was called. You probably know the one I mean if you've heard of it.

The first time I played Silent hill for the ps1 was when I was still 7 years old and till now it still remains as one of the scariest horror games I've ever played leaving me the idea that another realm or world might be out there somewhere. Next would be Fatal frame, just... GAWD THAT GAME!

When your playing Minecraft and an animal jumps on a block you just placed or in a hole you just dug and starts spinning quickly and jumping. Creepy.

I'm fond of how The Thing (1982) did uncanny. Although the actors were deliberately kept in the dark about who was infected, preventing their behavior from seeming off, the first infected dog's behavior was excellently, subtly uncanny, doing as much as the fused corpses to instill the "something is _very_ wrong" vibe.

The two most horrifying games that I have been playing is Bloodborne and subnautica. Bloodborne is scary because of what the game trains you to do. One of the game systems is killing enemies for blood vials which is a healing item. Later on a character said to me. "I will give you what you hunters always want" and that character gave me a blood vial. And that moment stuck with me.

2:43 this just hit me. You're being followed by a little girl apparition, but the arms and legs seems to move far out of socket with each step. As she gets closer, you hear cries of pain, it becomes apparent that her movements ARE too extreme and each step is painful. But if you touch her, she lunges at you and tries to kill you. She is only as fast as you can walk, so she isn't an immediate threat, but you'll have to walk around her for a long time, and the cries of pain/ bone grinding will leave you unnerved, disgusted, sorry for her, scared of her, you get the idea. After listening to that for 5 minutes straight, I think I'd be unable to continue playing

a million years late on this, but i know of an anime that does this with a particular recurring thing. serial experiments lain has a lot of scenes throughout the episodes that take place in the street down from the mc's home. the power lines are often in view if not the center of some shots, and theres always a low humming you can hear coming from them. at the last or second-to-last episode, theres a scene where the powerlines dont make noise anymore. this made me uncomfortable when watching for the first time, because it really felt "empty" without the noise. its an unsettling anime in general, but the humming became such a staple that at some point its _absence_ became weird, like its presence had been the first few times i heard it.

The real horror comes in existential

This is why S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl creeped(s) me right the f... out. The ultra realistic art direction, the feeling of being helplessly exposed, the fact that Chernobyl is a real place all come together to create a sense of tense dread that can't simply be pushed away. Places like Lab X18 are on the absolute top of my horror list. They also masterfully play with subversion of expectations. It's absolutely masterful.

It's satisfying that Gone Home was mentioned. When I played it I felt uneasy until the end of the game. When it was finished, I wrote this among my notes: "Overall, environment setup was extremely strong in this game, but it made it feel more like a horror game with a jump-scare in every corner than the arrived-back-home mood that was intended." Back then I thought this was a flaw, but it's what actually turned that story-telling game into something intentionally different.

I'm going to be perfectly honest, my first horror experience in gaming wasn't a horror game; it was Metroid Fusion. That game left me with a sense of helplessness when I was little and these looming thoughts that there was this other "me" of sorts that was stronger, but lifeless and threatening as well. that terrified me at night. Those moments seeing the SA-X in Fusion actually was one of the first times I recall having such deep thoughts...and being up late at night out of fear. Nowadays, I'm not scared of the game at all, but when I was kid, I had thoughts that made me worried that I'd become something like the SA-X and that it's entirely possible to have a lifeless, brutal mentality in life. So that's my horror story for gaming. Happy Halloween! :)

Not game, but on the same subject as horror. While I absolutely love Junji Ito's mangas and stories and they do make me feel somewhat uneasy, they never really scared me, sometimes because of the situations being so out of our world or because you see the events through the eyes of someone else. But one manga that really scared me, is the "Seeds of Anxiety" (Fuan no Tane) and "Seeds of Anxiety Plus" by Masaaki Nakayama, in great part due how familiar and relatable the situations are, but at the same time, they all have that "something's wrong" kind of feel.

I got freaked purely when you showed that screenshot of a Bonny jumpscare in Five Nights At Freddy’s. And yes, Freddy, I saw you lingering.

It's like in the build to the hunt in The Most Dangerous Game, a short story we read at school that I think is fairly will know. The general in it was very unsettling from basically the first moment we met him. Or like in the shapeshifter episode of Gravity Falls something felt off about the lab and the "author".

Man, I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but I thought the "horror" of Omori was kind of corny. In some parts, overreliant on "creepy" looking meta stuff and the occasional jumpscare. I don't think Omori's sense of horror is all that great.

The reason why I love Resident Evil 7 is the chilling atmosphere you get when there are no enemies around.

This is why real life is a lot scarier than anything fiction can come up with. Because we know that what happens in our world can actually happen but horror movies we can laugh at cause deep down it’s disturbing but highly unrealistic. Hence why silence of the lambs is so creepy

Well, DDLC stuck with me for a long time. It was physiological horror, knowing that Monika represented the advancments in technology. Liking the girls and then finding out their secrets, finding their conditions, their deaths. It made me shiver. It made me think about my own life path for a while.

The "light flashing on and off" fear might not be something as vague as "it doesn't belong there", but is also more simple: the flashing is inconsistent and erratic, making it unpredictable, and our lack of ability to predict it (withholding knowledge) scares us. In addition, it's a highly unnatural and fast movement that would never show up in nature, and since it's a horror game, we're already primed to be on the lookout for (often supernatural) dangers that would likely be fast and unnatural. Also, since this is usually during the tension stage, where we're on guard for the monster to show up at any moment, almost any kind of movement becomes noticeable and potentially dangerous-seeming, sort of in the same way that a grandfather clock pendulum can be particularly unnerving in an otherwise still and empty house. Also also, our reliance on technology is so strong, even the reliability of this light being unstable makes us feel unsafe. Like, since one light isn't working, even if it's in a well-lit place, maybe others will start flickering later on when I really need them, maybe next my phone will lose service, maybe next my car will break down--all these potentially life-saving tools, which are often things we don't really understand unless maybe we're a software engineer or mechanic, can be gone in an instant, and that flickering light is a reminder of that fragility.

If you get past the first layer, the game hides some really uncanny subconscious stuff that really got in my head, despite the fact that I've only played it for about an hour at a friend's house. The repetition, the secrets (not spoiling), the awkward humor, the narrator, the branching and all that actually makes it more psychologically memorable than Amnesia.

I'm re-watching this for maybe the fourth time and just noticing the Ron Swanson cameo. Well done sir.

I want horror that turns into a kind of inside joke between my brain and me. Like whenever I see a statue of an angel and i try to keep my eyes open as long as I can.

I think that's part of why I like psychological thrillers so much more than standard monster or slasher movies, and also why I like things that blur the line between their fictional universe and our real one (Grave Encounters, anyone?) or make you question reality (1408?). Those are things that stick with you after the movie is over. I'm to the point where jump scares just annoy me. They're inconvenient and distracting from the creepiness. If I'm watching a horror movie, I want to be scared, not just surprised. Any jackoff can make something spooky jump into the frame suddenly. It takes a lot more skill to build a world that makes you question the world around you, and that's what lingers on your mind. Not the feeling that a guy in a mask is going to pop out around the next corner. Unless the movie or game or whatever has blurred the line between its reality and our own that you can't help but question whether or not the movie was actually fictional (again, Grave Encounters. It even addresses the whole "well, why would actually release it if it was true?" question.)

You know that there is something wrong, but your senses are confused, and the only thing you can do is hopelessly exist in the present as the growing unknown overtakes your being.

"you're not afraid of being alone in the dark; you're afraid you are not"

An important aspect of horror sticking with you is that it's familiar. You won't lay awake at night thinking about Alien because that took place far off in the middle of nowhere on a spaceship, something you're not at all familiar with. But Paranormal Activity might keep you up. Not because it's a scarier or more threatening enemy, but because it's about a normal person lying in bed in the dark, trying to fall asleep... just like you are. Right. Now.

Darkwood did horror perfectly, good audio, good atmosphere, good art, disgusting abominations, requires planning and critical thinking to fight back against some tough marauders in the woods since you can’t tear through zombies with a mini gun.

So not a really horror game, but the physically impossible hallways in Stanley Parable's Confusion ending did a very good job at unsettling me

... What genre IS the Stanley Parable? It's absurd throughout and occasionally funny, occasionally sad, occasionally frightening. So what does it fall under?

You're not alone James, I love being scared too.

The Higurashi sound novels do a great job with this. Half the game is literal fun and games between the characters, but then things start to not match up, and there is clearly something that is not right in the world. Another thing that it does, being a novel game, is that the characters try and explain why it is wrong, arguing for or against whether there is something wrong, but even these explanations, no matter how fitting they may be, all have something off about them. There is something off about Hinamizawa, and you never learn everything, games closing without a conclusion to leave you thinking. The ending of the third game gave me shivers down my spine for minutes as there is something that is just off about the very world it takes place in.

One particular thing about Higurashi, especially in the original that gave incredible feelings of the uncanny valley were the eyes. They changed dramatically and were so strange it gave me chills anytime I saw them.

I agree. The originals also had a much better soundtrack and had perfect timing with the effects. Best friends became things that weren't human in a literal blink of an eye, and everything around you would scream how off it was, from the staring eyes to the off-key strings. Beautiful. One part that really stood out to me was one of the tips from the fourth game. Up to that point the sound novels had never needed any input, but in the tip you are given a choice. It is completely arbitrary and doesn't affect anything, but the fact that it was unexpected, was asked in a very suspicious way, and gave such an innocent answer made you feel like you had lost, even though you had no chance of winning.

The most terrifing thing I have experienced is in The Division : the hunters they are realistic and the fear isn't all that powerful but it is constant

Never really played any horror games, but something that really haunted me and gave me chills was the SA-X in Metroid Fusion. Unbeatable, slow-walk, you at full capacity while you yourself are at 1%. In particular that hallway where the light goes out and you can hear her approaching while the door is locked. Perfect.

I remember fnaf was scary when I was 12 because I thought it was real

That would be pretty scary (if a game told you that you left the stove on and it turned out to be true)

THANK YOU for doing a full on horror episode! I really hope you get to mention how to set up tone, and atmosphere in general at some point too!

Not a horror movie, but the ending of Training Day was absolutely horrifying. He was riddled with bullets and left to die. Nothing quite like it.

Does anybody else sometimes read something, or watch something, that in a well lit room, or with company, you feel the things you read and watch, are not scary, sure they may be scary in the moment but... Though sometimes, when I try to sleep, my mind makes me think that this experiences are truly terrifying, and that every dark corner, every flicker of light is truly some terrible.

The best uncanny horror is ready the wikipedia pages on serial killers. It literally happened in real life, and it's disturbing and off putting in the way made-up horror is even moreso because we know it's true. Even the totally factual way wikipedia lists the events makes it more disturbing, no dramatization, just a stark portrayal of the very real horrors that a real living human committed. It's chilling, and often tanks my mood for the whole next day.

I literally came to this video because I read Uzumaki by Junji Ito. I've been thinking about it days after I read it.

The Boy. That movie tripped me out, especially since I went in with the expectation that it was gonna be a stupid puppet thriller.

That scene from where the wild things are where that one monster rips off the other monsters arm genuinely terrified me and would give me panic attacks whenever i tried to watch it. like i even got physically sick and threw up once bc it freaked me out so much. i really liked that movie when i was little so i still watched it even tho that part was in it. im 16 now and it still makes me feel uneasy which is weird bc my favorite movie when i was like 3 or 4 was dead silence bc it had dolls in it (i collect dolls now surprise surprise) i also really liked friday the 13th and would watch it anytime i went to the lake with my grandparents (i was like 6 when id first seen it) idk its just smth about that scene that scares me,,,, or maybe im just weird idk and rlly dont care i refuse to watch wtwta now

"Scott Watson's Test" is one of the best examples of games that executes this element. That game crawled under my skin.

0:16 haha that happens to me everytime I see anything remotely scary

*B U R N E D S P A G H E T T I*

I remember one time my friend was playing Gone Home, and he found a crucifixion cross in like, a little altar between the walls, and when he looked at it, all the lights went out (in the game) and he was left terrified that he was going to die

Chucky gave me nightmares for being, on some level, believe, as I kid I'd wonder "what if my toys want to kill me"

Telltale's The Walking Dead. While it wasn't too scary, the lingering despair and sadness that came with it was crushing... But I gained a new appreciation for how safe and pleasant my world was, and left me wanting to try and understand other people on a more personal level
