It's freaky but not scary... It litteraly follows the same path everytime and upon replaying the game you just see it as harmless paint. There is zero complexity behind it or replay value. It's like looking at a cool painting that wastes a lot of your time. All of Its popularity comes from its cool design, jack baker is a muuuuuuch scarier antagonist in the main house.
@@sasoriakasuna9050you're absolutely right. Every time I go back to the house of Beneviento my first thought is "there we go: now I have to go around looking for things and avoid that annoyance"
RE7 is the scariest overall but by the time I got to the Beneviento house in RE8, I made the mistake of underestimating it since the game hadn't been scary so far, so I did not at all expect that encounter with the baby creature which is probably why it scared me even more than the entirety of RE7. It reminded me of the experience of encountering the Rat King in TLOU2 for the first time.
I played both RE7 AND 8 , but RE7 is always the best because you are always in a tight corner of the house its gives more of a ghost game vide compare to rest of the franchise.
The regenerators scared the living hell out of me during my first playthrough. The first time when I used all my bullets and thought I killed it, it came slithering at me and when I tell you MY HEART STOPPED 😭
Mr X is ruining my play through tbh, since he came out and I realized I didn’t grab the large gear and need to do the bookshelf puzzle…I’ve been hiding out in save rooms waiting right at the door for him to come to me so I atleast know where he is before I make a run (actually walk to avoid detection) to get the gear- save room - wait- library puzzle- save room- wait- clock tower. I know this is sacrilege but I wish I could mod him out of the game on my Xbox
I still find Nemesis the scariest enemy in the entire franchise. You can't kill him at all and the more you knock him down, the faster he gets. I remember playing the original RE3 where I was so confident of taking him down many times but eventually running away from him went almost impossible.
Yeah, he was expertly designed in the original. I also miss the Nemesis choices we were presented. It made replaying the game more interesting the second time through it
@@funmylife9248 on your first playthrough(s), the cutscene choices added a great deal of quality adrenaline moments to a game already flush with quality adrenaline moments too. You had just enough time to make a relatively uninformed decision, and it was excellent 😅
Oh man I was 14 when I first played that on the GC and that part terrified until I got to the hedge maze full of those infected wolves, then came the regenerators lol.
I found that part more annoying than scary. It's not bad if you have a good amount of ammo and if you have the light blaster they are absolutely effortless
Despite the baby being a very scary experience, I find that the Mia scene as soon as you enter the house in RE7 where she's trying to kill you with a kitchen knife crawling up the stairs to be the scariest of the RE franchise.
RE7 is the scariest in the series, easily. I believe this is due to it's two inspirations. The first inspiration was the true survival horror of the first game, and the second inspiration came from the disempowering indie horror games of the time, and the bigger games they inspired (Outlast and Alien: Isolation seemed to be especially influential). This allowed to the series to go back to its horror roots, while also learning some things from the scariest games of that era.
Literally I just posted in another youtube video about this. This was Capcom giving everyone a heads up that they weren't playing around! We all knew then we were in for a terrifying experience.
I dare you to try the trick speedrunners use to get past the baby while using your VR headset, it involves side stepping the baby just before the kitchen but it's veeeeeeery easy to mess up...
For me in Rose's Shadows, the house Beneviento is even scarier with the dolls start chasing you while you don't look at them and when even more come it's completely terrifying in my opinion.
You should check out the episode of Doctor Who called Blink. While the majority of the show is pretty "bleh," there are some episodes that really hit. Blink is arguably the best episode of the series, and it's pretty much a stand-alone (you don't need to watch the series to understand it). If you liked this part of Shadow of Rose, you would love Blink (it's pretty much a straight homage/copy).
@@coryrudy98Hey thanks for the heads up about it being standalone, now I can check out what the fuss is about Doctor Who without having to commit to a thousand episodes 😊

I am just finally now playing RE8. I like how I was initially disappointed that it wasn't as scary as 7 and then BAM, literally the scariest moment in the franchise right in my face.
i’ve been playing this franchise for years and i’d have to say the baby in re8 was definitely the scariest moment of all because it got me even as an adult. when i was a kid, it was always the dogs that scared the absolute shit out of me. i played re4 over a hundred times as a child when i finally got over the fear, but every time i played the dog maze was the worst part in the game 😂 sorry for the long comment
In the RE: 2 Remake the scariest part for me was in the sewers. That long corridor with the red light that leads you to the King and Queen plug. The Adult G's lurking through the water with the ominous red light was definitely the most nerve wracking part for me.
@@rarescevei8268Oh, it is, but the Mia dolls is still up near the top in scariest moments in RE. Weeping angel mechanics have gotten popular lately, but that's because they are really effective when done right. Even perhaps the least scary "horror" game of all time, FNaF: Security Breach, managed once section of actual fear by using weeping angel mechanics.
For me, the scariest moment in RE2 was the first appearance of Mr X, but not just because he's so menacing. As a veteran player, I was pleased with how close the game seemed to try to stick to the original (with a few layout changes). But in the original, Mr X only came after you in scenario B. Seeing him suddenly toss the chopper aside in my first playthrough, which was also on hardcore, actually took me a second to register who it was and the trouble I was in. The addition of his modern ai wandering the halls and the ability to hear his footsteps regularly was terrifying.
The Verdugo in RE4 also was a challenging adversary and pretty creepy too. The foetus and it’s creepy sounds are right up there with the horrible dolls and mannequins from Shadow of Rose. Overall, I think Biohazard was the scariest, creepiest, most claustrophobic and atmospheric of all the games. Hands down the most terrifying.
The Gigafetus is not as scary as the build up to it, but it is freaky enough to put the fear of God in you on your first time or two around. I was more scared by the regenerators because I used eight shotgun shells when I killed one for my first time. Then, regenerators, iron maidens especially, became more frustrating than scary.
@@funmylife9248 it might be because you didn’t burn eight shotgun shells, expecting regenerators to be a giant resource drain, leaving you either defenseless or resourceless over the course of the section. I became a bit more proficient in dealing with regenerators, and they didn’t scare me as much. The professional mode Iron Maiden made me want to irradiate out my hair.
@@coultersheppard2052 😂I absolutely did burn through a crap ton of ammo on the regenerators my first time through the OG. I think it was because of that that it felt more like a chore until I finally figured out how to kill them with the thermal scope. They honestly just became more of a nuisance, but that's just me
@@coultersheppard2052 That's actually a viable tactic! Just blow off one of its legs and then stun-lock it with your knife and eventually you'll finish it off
Lickers will always be my biggest scare. I think it was re5 where you are waiting on an elevator and all of a sudden a swarm of lickers come at you from the long hallway, climbing on the ceiling and walls and being forced to unload everything on them.
I’m old enough to have played RE1 and I’ll never forget the dogs jumping through the windows. It was the first time I’d experienced anything like that in a game and it left a mark on me and my underpants. 😂
Mr. X busting through a wall made me scream so loud! My biggest jumpscare in playing Resident Evil 2 Remake! As scary as the baby is, I found the mannequins in Shadow of Rose much worse! Their creepy movements makes it so uncomfortable and the fact that the player needs to keep an eye on them to stop moving is just pure horror!
I love how we’re all different with fear. I was so happy with the mannequins as I found them so chill in comparison to the baby. I would dread getting to the baby even after 10+ playthroughs
@@supSuicide Fascinating! Yeah, it's cool to see how we all react to things differently, yet even so, I do think the baby is scarier than the mannequins
Regenerators will always be the scariest but I also think the castle maze with the dogs in Resident 4 evil original is so underrated as a scary moment. They leap out of the bushes around you and its hard to tell where they are coming from because theyre so quiet... before you know it youre in a qte with a dog mauling your face. Wasnt as scary in the remake though because it felt less claustrophobic.
THANK YOU! That dog maze and the regeneradors were the only scary parts in 4 for me, with the dog maze being the scariest part in resident evil for me aside from 7 & 8 😂 Dog maze was a lot more bearable in the remake though since you have Ashley with you for it lol
I grew up with old school Resident Evil games, and for sure I was really scared back in time. But that segment in RE7 is the only one that still haunts me in my nightmares 😬
😂Yeah same here. Literally the only time in RE where I actually paused the game to take a breather once the baby peered out of the corner of the screen
didn’t find the baby in village or the regenerators scary at all. but mr. x in RE2r and jack baker/the basement in RE7 were pretty scary to me. the hunters when you return to spencer mansion were a good call. scared me like hell as a kid. the first barracks in CV definitelyare terrifying too
Yeah, RE7 just had so many great scary moments. Going down to the basement in RE7 was definitely freaky... you never knew where the mold were hanging around down there
When you have to return to the basement in RE7 was one of the scariest gaming experiences I’ve ever had. Plus Marguerite’s window jumpscare, plus navigating the ship with no weapons… man that game was scary
In the re2 remake theres a part where you open a room with a green key. He cant go inside that room and if you wait 10 minutes inside that room he will break through the wall which is scary asf
12:12 i remember not knowing i could make the armaduras freeze with the blue light and played the whole section without doing it at all. dude i nearly got a heart attack playing that part
😂Funny you bring that up because that literally happened to me as well on my first playthrough 😂I died so many times trying to get that door open at the foot of the stairs to the main floor of the library. Felt like such an idiot when I found out we could just freeze them in place with the lantern
I agree with this list but I can never forget the first time I played resident evil 4 with doctor Salvador chasing me in the entire village. I was only 4 years old when I first played this game, when I saw doctor Salvador with his chainsaw I was crying from terror. When he killed me for the first time the death animation of Leon's made me turn off my ps2 immediately and I promised to myself to never play this game again. But when I grow up a bit I decided to replay the game to see if I am not afraid anymore. I was so happy when I finished the village fight for the first time. And only God knew what I was going to face in the rest of the game. It took me months or even years to finish this goddamn game but the only thing I have to say here is that resident evil 4 became my favorite game of all time and it still is.
I still remember my first scariest moment was when I played original Resident evil 4 for first time and I was only 11! And I faced off against Dr. Salvador, it was so scary for me.
RE2 as a whole scared me soo much as a kid that I couldn't finish it. I used to borrow games from my neighbor until I beat them but I gave that one back to her after an hour. Looking back at it though it really isn't that bad so my vote has to go to the first time you run into the regenerators in RE4. They were creepy as hell and unexpected considering what you normally were facing up until that point.
Yeah, I feel the same way about RE2. I loved it as a kid, but I had to really take my time with it, since I was so young and my tolerance to scary things was just really weak. Returning to it now is more nostalgic than ever and definitely doesn't hold a candle to some of the scares that have been in the franchise since
The scariest moment for me is standing at the top of the stairs to go in the basement of RE1. 30 years later I still think about how I had to make the classic horror movie mistake of going in the basement.
Two moments in RE2 remake caught me off guard back to back. When you use the C4 and hear the licker scream, and when you get the goddess emblem and it leaps down to attack.
Having experienced the baby section in Village for the first time in VR, I can confirm the last choice. After escaping, I had to stay in the elevator for a few minutes to catch my breath.
Honestly jack freaked me out the most in 7. I thought from how he talked he was gonna reenact a scene from deliverance while the whole family had a splash of last house on the left and the dinner scene from Texas chainsaw massacre (1974). The fetus in 8 just had me go it's da baby though best part of the game.
Jack definitely brought some of that persistent enemy goodness from the older games back into the series. Which part of him from RE7 did you find to be the scariest?
I totally agree about the baby being number one. As an honorable mention I would add Rose's visit to house Beneviento in the Shadow of Rose DLC and the freaky mannequins that keep following you each time you look away from them.
About re2 original, I have some events that look like a huge contenders for the spot: 1- mister x appears for first time/in the cog room and then in the outside, breaking wall 2 times/in the camera. 2- ben's infected or smacked down (most of the people thought that birkin was in there). 3- death of chief irons in claire 2nd scenario (that, for me, is the most brutal and scary shit that I faced playing that game).
I remember that scene with the arm in 7. I played it with the lights off. The buildup towards the moment, with a good 10 minutes of tension, followed by the disgusting sound of the arm being removed, and then the glimpse of the legs... I nearly threw up at that point.
For me, the unscripted times that Nemesis showed up in the OG RE3 were the scariest, as I didn't know when to expect them and was rarely prepared to fight.
I could never put myself through the entire baby mission in vr. It’s actually much shorter than I initially thought but it was so freaking horrifying I closed the game like 3 times before I got all the way through it
😂Definitely took me by surprise as well! I knew something was going to happen, seeing all the available hiding spots littered around the area, but that freaking baby spooked the **** outta me 😂
The biggest jump scare for me was in RE2 original. Once you acquire thee golden cog, Mr. X. bursts through the wall and fight ensues. You defeat it, like usual, then you get out of the room. You feel good, all is great, until you run in the corridor. Boom, he bursts out the wall and starts another fight. It's the only time in my life I threw my controller up in panic.
For some reason the knights in RE4 remake that come at you unless you shine a light on them gave me nightmares. Especially in that dark room where you had to ring the bells in correct order while they come to life to get you
For me, nothing beats the baby. I can still remember feeling my heartbeats. And I don't remember any other game scaring me this much. Only with cheap jumpscares. Congrats to RE8
My top3: 3)I'll always remember as a child the moment where the Verdugo starts chasing you in the underground of the castle in RE4 original 2)Nemesis popping out of nowhere in the police station in RE3 original was insanely good 1)Mia appearing in the stairs in the intro of RE7
All awesome selections. I really liked the way verdugo was introduced in the OG RE4. What a way to introduce a boss like that! Also, can't understate how crazy that jumpscare was with Nemesis bursting through the RPD out of nowhere.
One of my earlier memories which i only pinpointed recently was of resident evil 5. Watching my dad play as one of those tentacle monsters goes inside the guys mouth and pops out was so gruesome for me when i was a kid and definitely left a mark for a while lol
Agreed with you. The baby fetus was definitely disturbing. And the second one was the little girl a.k.a Eveline. RE 7 & 8 give us a spooky and nightmare vibes. Other than RE before. To be honest, the Winter's arc are definitely dealing with demon. Not a zombie.
Actually I was more terrified at the mutated baby scene from village than the baker family. Maybe because the sounds of the baby seemed more human like don't know but yeah.
@donjc3641 sorry to hear that. I honestly beat the whole game by always looking at RUclips. I would watch a walkthrough, then go back to playing up until I got to that part of the video. Not because I didn't get the puzzles but I was sacred it was easier to know what was coming. That's the only way I beat the whole game.
I agree with number 1 as scariest moment . That whole section of the game was done well. I think a runner up for 1st could be when you first encounter marguerite baker spider form in re7 when she knocks you down the stairs as your going to the alter . That part scared me
The scariest RE experience when I realized I didn’t have a memory card for Playstation 1 back in the 90’ and I was more than 2 hrs into Resident Evil 1🤭
Original RE3 is my personal favorite RE even though I did NOT grow up on it (I actually started with 0). I was a full adult playing original RE3 at the time, and I was *still* unnerved when Nemesis smashed through the window. So I can easily imagine a middle schooler freaking the heck out, lol.
🤣Yeah I never saw anything like that before. Thanks for sharing your perspective! I love hearing about people playing the older games for the first time as an adult. I like the different perspectives on fear and what parts scare people differently
I think the scariest moment in re 3 remake is when your running away from nemesis as jill and he just jumps in front of you and then chases you and then punches you.
This isn’t the scariest scene in the series but I really found the first zombie encounter in the original resident evil so creepy, just the way it stares at you
The amount of times i got jumpscared by mr x 1 millisecond after opening a door getting smacked/thrown has got me shitting my pants in all colors possible
It’s funny- for a younger fan like myself I find it so charming that the nemesis jumpscare in RE3 was even considered scary at all! Not to discredit it- it’s kinda fun to try and put myself in the headspace of a child playing that game in an age where it was the peak of realistic graphics
I’ve played every resident evil a few times and jack baker still scares the shit outta me! The crimson heads in REmake, original nemesis, the giant baby….all scary as fuck.
man i remember playing RE3 when i was 8yo with my neighbour who was 10 yo. we were so afraid of nemesis and i still remember this moment when he enters trough the rcpd window. We beat the game in like 2 months and i consider that a life achievement for a 8yo kiddo. That was a long time ago,im almost 26 now :D
I've played RE7 and I can also say that the giant baby from Village was horrifying. But personally the scariest thing to me in Resident Evil is Mr. X in RE2 remake. Just the fact that he's always roaming around in the RPD and trying to find you is horrifying. It always puts you on edge because you never know if he can suddenly come through the same door you need to go through or if he comes popping around the corner.
@@comicbookguygamecat Right? I'm really looking forward to the RE4 PSVR2 update as well. I hear we are going to get a lot more information about it during Tokyo Game Show
The most terrifying parts in all the games of this franchise for me were the sudden jumpscare appearances of Mr. X in the B scenarios of the original RE 2. Like Nemesis in RE3 but happened multiple times and even though the encounters were fixed, you'd be scared of ANY narrow hallways. At all times.
I agree with them all, expect hunters weren’t to scary for me cause i grew up in texas and i found lizards all over my house during like summer which made hunters kinda silly for me
Both were definitely startling moments, no doubt. For me, the baby encounter took the cake. I knew something was going to happen, but just not quite like that 😂
@@suhailshaikh8529 It's a good one, although I think there are scarier moments in the game personally. The scariest licker encounter for me was in the interrogation room
@@funmylife9248 respect your opinion but when we see him first time we had no idea what the hell was it ( atleast for non movie watchers) cuz later we can kill them easily with good weapons
The fact that everything that happened in House Beneviento wasn’t real still blows my mind. Like it’s already the scariest part of the game and you’re telling me it’s just Ethan’s halucinations
I played resident evil 5 when I was like 8 years old at that time it was probably one of the scariest games I had played but after watching RUclipsrs play the whole of resident evil 7 I would say re7 was the most scariest
Yeah The Baby one was definitely top tier nightmare fuel!
Absolutely was!

Im getting one this christmas but got to use it for a week to make sure my room was big enough
I ended just before house beneviento
Help...
How could you😭😭 i shat myself playing with spatial sound i think i’d die if i tried it in VR
The first crimson head encounter in REmake is definitely the scariest in my book
Yeah, I was debating that or Lisa Trevor for the remake.
@@funmylife9248 what about the zombie doctor in code Veronica especially when there are vibrations going on when you open the door
The Verdugo in RE4 also was a challenging adversary and pretty creepy too. The foetus and it’s creepy sounds are right up there with the horrible dolls and mannequins from Shadow of Rose. Overall, I think Biohazard was the scariest, creepiest, most claustrophobic and atmospheric of all the games. Hands down the most terrifying.
Completely agree. I definitely think RE7 is the scariest game in the franchise
The Gigafetus is not as scary as the build up to it, but it is freaky enough to put the fear of God in you on your first time or two around. I was more scared by the regenerators because I used eight shotgun shells when I killed one for my first time. Then, regenerators, iron maidens especially, became more frustrating than scary.
Well said and I agree with that, although the fetus for me was scarier than the regenerators on my first playthrough.
@@funmylife9248 it might be because you didn’t burn eight shotgun shells, expecting regenerators to be a giant resource drain, leaving you either defenseless or resourceless over the course of the section. I became a bit more proficient in dealing with regenerators, and they didn’t scare me as much. The professional mode Iron Maiden made me want to irradiate out my hair.
@@coultersheppard2052 😂I absolutely did burn through a crap ton of ammo on the regenerators my first time through the OG. I think it was because of that that it felt more like a chore until I finally figured out how to kill them with the thermal scope. They honestly just became more of a nuisance, but that's just me
@@funmylife9248 right there with you. I think I also had to knife one to death on my first playthrough.
@@coultersheppard2052 That's actually a viable tactic! Just blow off one of its legs and then stun-lock it with your knife and eventually you'll finish it off
Lickers will always be my biggest scare. I think it was re5 where you are waiting on an elevator and all of a sudden a swarm of lickers come at you from the long hallway, climbing on the ceiling and walls and being forced to unload everything on them.
Yeah, that's a good one
OMG I hate Lickers. Those things scare the crap out of me.
I’m old enough to have played RE1 and I’ll never forget the dogs jumping through the windows. It was the first time I’d experienced anything like that in a game and it left a mark on me and my underpants. 😂
Yeah that was a startling moment for sure!
Mr. X busting through a wall made me scream so loud! My biggest jumpscare in playing Resident Evil 2 Remake!
As scary as the baby is, I found the mannequins in Shadow of Rose much worse! Their creepy movements makes it so uncomfortable and the fact that the player needs to keep an eye on them to stop moving is just pure horror!
Yeah, that Mr. X jumpscare is legendary! Also really like the mannequins in Shadow of Rose.
Agreed. I thought there could not be anything worse than House Benviento , then they made Shadow of Rose.
I love how we’re all different with fear. I was so happy with the mannequins as I found them so chill in comparison to the baby. I would dread getting to the baby even after 10+ playthroughs
@@supSuicide Fascinating! Yeah, it's cool to see how we all react to things differently, yet even so, I do think the baby is scarier than the mannequins
Oh my God I hate Mr. X, you would just be minding your business and he just comes out of nowhere.
Regenerators will always be the scariest but I also think the castle maze with the dogs in Resident 4 evil original is so underrated as a scary moment. They leap out of the bushes around you and its hard to tell where they are coming from because theyre so quiet... before you know it youre in a qte with a dog mauling your face. Wasnt as scary in the remake though because it felt less claustrophobic.
THANK YOU! That dog maze and the regeneradors were the only scary parts in 4 for me, with the dog maze being the scariest part in resident evil for me aside from 7 & 8 😂
Dog maze was a lot more bearable in the remake though since you have Ashley with you for it lol
I grew up with old school Resident Evil games, and for sure I was really scared back in time.
But that segment in RE7 is the only one that still haunts me in my nightmares 😬
The baby literally made me scream for the first time since I was a little kid. One of the only times I’ve cried from fear too
😂Yeah same here. Literally the only time in RE where I actually paused the game to take a breather once the baby peered out of the corner of the screen
didn’t find the baby in village or the regenerators scary at all. but mr. x in RE2r and jack baker/the basement in RE7 were pretty scary to me. the hunters when you return to spencer mansion were a good call. scared me like hell as a kid. the first barracks in CV definitelyare terrifying too
Yeah, RE7 just had so many great scary moments. Going down to the basement in RE7 was definitely freaky... you never knew where the mold were hanging around down there
Agree with the regens but the baby is definitely scary for the first time you play through it more so if is a young one
@@FrxstHD 💯
When you have to return to the basement in RE7 was one of the scariest gaming experiences I’ve ever had. Plus Marguerite’s window jumpscare, plus navigating the ship with no weapons… man that game was scary
@@reykaisertv Absolutely. RE7 for me was the scariest RE game
In the re2 remake theres a part where you open a room with a green key. He cant go inside that room and if you wait 10 minutes inside that room he will break through the wall which is scary asf
the first jack chase was so scary, i couldn’t play past that section for half a decade lmao
🤣 Yeah that was definitely a memorable moment. And it happens SO EARLY into the game, too!
12:12 i remember not knowing i could make the armaduras freeze with the blue light and played the whole section without doing it at all. dude i nearly got a heart attack playing that part
😂Funny you bring that up because that literally happened to me as well on my first playthrough 😂I died so many times trying to get that door open at the foot of the stairs to the main floor of the library. Felt like such an idiot when I found out we could just freeze them in place with the lantern
The baby in RE8 was the scariest ever. Lol
RE2 1998 when the arms bust through the wooden boards really scared me back in the day. I remember taking a break after that.
😂Yeah that's another really good one
Lmao same for me, I was searching it in the comments so good job friend !
I remember being scared in re8 in the factory section fighting the cyborgs “soldat”
Yeah, that was definitely an atmospheric section
I agree with this list but I can never forget the first time I played resident evil 4 with doctor Salvador chasing me in the entire village. I was only 4 years old when I first played this game, when I saw doctor Salvador with his chainsaw I was crying from terror. When he killed me for the first time the death animation of Leon's made me turn off my ps2 immediately and I promised to myself to never play this game again. But when I grow up a bit I decided to replay the game to see if I am not afraid anymore. I was so happy when I finished the village fight for the first time. And only God knew what I was going to face in the rest of the game. It took me months or even years to finish this goddamn game but the only thing I have to say here is that resident evil 4 became my favorite game of all time and it still is.
That's an incredible story! I can't imagine playing this as a four year-old. Those must be some very strong memories
I still remember my first scariest moment was when I played original Resident evil 4 for first time and I was only 11! And I faced off against Dr. Salvador, it was so scary for me.
Definitely one of the best scares of that game! I was not expecting that enemy, along with all the other villagers all at once 😂
Those alligators were not the scariest in RE5. That goes to those chainsaw infected
The scariest moment for me is whenever there is bad voice acting.
Re 4 remake's Krauser's voice acting is unforgivable
@@Chadagon47I liked it honestly. Not NEARLY as good as before but I still liked his performance
RE2 as a whole scared me soo much as a kid that I couldn't finish it. I used to borrow games from my neighbor until I beat them but I gave that one back to her after an hour. Looking back at it though it really isn't that bad so my vote has to go to the first time you run into the regenerators in RE4. They were creepy as hell and unexpected considering what you normally were facing up until that point.
Yeah, I feel the same way about RE2. I loved it as a kid, but I had to really take my time with it, since I was so young and my tolerance to scary things was just really weak. Returning to it now is more nostalgic than ever and definitely doesn't hold a candle to some of the scares that have been in the franchise since
Those dogs in OG RE1 still get me all these years later lmao
It got me real good when playing the remake, especially when they don't appear the first time going through the hallway 😂
@@funmylife9248 That too lmao
The scariest moment for me is standing at the top of the stairs to go in the basement of RE1. 30 years later I still think about how I had to make the classic horror movie mistake of going in the basement.
For revelations it was that fucking sea captains wail for me. I was terrified before i even began the battle. "Mayday...maydaaay"
Yeah me too. Sad and scary when I hear the chainsaw thing with: "I need help", "The emergency call... NUMBERH..."
@@Thigannos94 Never been as apprehensive to open a door before haha
That was my runner-up for Revelations 💯
Two moments in RE2 remake caught me off guard back to back. When you use the C4 and hear the licker scream, and when you get the goddess emblem and it leaps down to attack.
YES! That freaking attic-like room. Gets me every time I go through there 😂
Having experienced the baby section in Village for the first time in VR, I can confirm the last choice.
After escaping, I had to stay in the elevator for a few minutes to catch my breath.
I feel that the ambient noise in the sewers in Dead Aim deserves a shoutout, as do its blind giant boss and sleeping zombies (to a lesser degree)
Great video. Watched the entire thing
Glad you enjoyed it!
House Beneviento was extremely well crafted and one of my favorite horror experiences of recent memory. The buildup throughout was perfect.
Absolutely. It really is one of my favorite moments throughout the entire series
Honestly jack freaked me out the most in 7. I thought from how he talked he was gonna reenact a scene from deliverance while the whole family had a splash of last house on the left and the dinner scene from Texas chainsaw massacre (1974). The fetus in 8 just had me go it's da baby though best part of the game.
Jack definitely brought some of that persistent enemy goodness from the older games back into the series. Which part of him from RE7 did you find to be the scariest?
I totally agree about the baby being number one. As an honorable mention I would add Rose's visit to house Beneviento in the Shadow of Rose DLC and the freaky mannequins that keep following you each time you look away from them.
Absolutely. The mannequins are the easy runner-up to the baby
To me, the introduction of the first zombie in the original RE still gives me the creeps!
Yeah, that's when the game truly began
About re2 original, I have some events that look like a huge contenders for the spot:
1- mister x appears for first time/in the cog room and then in the outside, breaking wall 2 times/in the camera.
2- ben's infected or smacked down (most of the people thought that birkin was in there).
3- death of chief irons in claire 2nd scenario (that, for me, is the most brutal and scary shit that I faced playing that game).
I still remember RE3 nemesis jumping out of the window at the station to this day… It’s been 23 years since then man…
Honestly still find that to be the biggest jump scare in the series yet
I remember that scene with the arm in 7. I played it with the lights off.
The buildup towards the moment, with a good 10 minutes of tension, followed by the disgusting sound of the arm being removed, and then the glimpse of the legs...
I nearly threw up at that point.
For me, the unscripted times that Nemesis showed up in the OG RE3 were the scariest, as I didn't know when to expect them and was rarely prepared to fight.
Yeah those nemesis encounters were crazy in the OG
I could never put myself through the entire baby mission in vr. It’s actually much shorter than I initially thought but it was so freaking horrifying I closed the game like 3 times before I got all the way through it
Yeah, definitely the most insane moment in the franchise right there
The baby part in resident evil village was so terrifying that I stopped playing for like a month
😂Definitely took me by surprise as well! I knew something was going to happen, seeing all the available hiding spots littered around the area, but that freaking baby spooked the **** outta me 😂
@@funmylife9248
Agreed the fetus baby was definitely the most terrifying ( and I thought the regeneradors where scary)
@@funmylife9248 totally lol😂 also I only went back down the path to house beneviento when I found the stone slab to the grave of I forgot who
The baby was terrifying but the moving mannequins in the DLC, Shadows of Rose, scared me way more than the baby
Yeah, that was honestly the runner up for me for RE8. House Beneviento definitely is host to the scares for that game
The biggest jump scare for me was in RE2 original. Once you acquire thee golden cog, Mr. X. bursts through the wall and fight ensues. You defeat it, like usual, then you get out of the room. You feel good, all is great, until you run in the corridor. Boom, he bursts out the wall and starts another fight.
It's the only time in my life I threw my controller up in panic.
Yeah those are some great moments for the OG RE2. Those B scenarios were epic
For some reason the knights in RE4 remake that come at you unless you shine a light on them gave me nightmares. Especially in that dark room where you had to ring the bells in correct order while they come to life to get you
They definitely made the armaduras much freakier in the remake, that's for sure
For me, nothing beats the baby. I can still remember feeling my heartbeats. And I don't remember any other game scaring me this much. Only with cheap jumpscares. Congrats to RE8
Heck yeah! The baby deserved this spot, for sure 💯
My top3:
3)I'll always remember as a child the moment where the Verdugo starts chasing you in the underground of the castle in RE4 original
2)Nemesis popping out of nowhere in the police station in RE3 original was insanely good
1)Mia appearing in the stairs in the intro of RE7
All awesome selections. I really liked the way verdugo was introduced in the OG RE4. What a way to introduce a boss like that! Also, can't understate how crazy that jumpscare was with Nemesis bursting through the RPD out of nowhere.
One of my earlier memories which i only pinpointed recently was of resident evil 5. Watching my dad play as one of those tentacle monsters goes inside the guys mouth and pops out was so gruesome for me when i was a kid and definitely left a mark for a while lol
😂I bet it did! I couldn't imagine seeing something like that at a very young age
Agreed with you. The baby fetus was definitely disturbing. And the second one was the little girl a.k.a Eveline. RE 7 & 8 give us a spooky and nightmare vibes. Other than RE before. To be honest, the Winter's arc are definitely dealing with demon. Not a zombie.
Actually I was more terrified at the mutated baby scene from village than the baker family. Maybe because the sounds of the baby seemed more human like don't know but yeah.
I'm right there with you on that!
youtube spoiled it for me and there was nothing to be scared of
@@donjc3641 Dang, sorry to hear that
@donjc3641 sorry to hear that. I honestly beat the whole game by always looking at RUclips. I would watch a walkthrough, then go back to playing up until I got to that part of the video. Not because I didn't get the puzzles but I was sacred it was easier to know what was coming. That's the only way I beat the whole game.
I just love how they managed to make house Beneviento even more scary in the DLC
Re7 just HAAAAAD to have GIANT INSECT LEVEL 😰
I agree with number 1 as scariest moment . That whole section of the game was done well. I think a runner up for 1st could be when you first encounter marguerite baker spider form in re7 when she knocks you down the stairs as your going to the alter . That part scared me
Yeah, that opener with Marguerite was intense. Did NOT see that one coming
The scariest RE experience when I realized I didn’t have a memory card for Playstation 1 back in the 90’ and I was more than 2 hrs into Resident Evil 1🤭
Original RE3 is my personal favorite RE even though I did NOT grow up on it (I actually started with 0). I was a full adult playing original RE3 at the time, and I was *still* unnerved when Nemesis smashed through the window. So I can easily imagine a middle schooler freaking the heck out, lol.
🤣Yeah I never saw anything like that before. Thanks for sharing your perspective! I love hearing about people playing the older games for the first time as an adult. I like the different perspectives on fear and what parts scare people differently
Ashleys part is even scarier when youre trying to do the light or flight challenge
Yeah, that's what I did when I first played through that section in the remake
Got to mention ,RE4R verdugo encounter literally gives me the biggest adrenaline rush ever in any survival horror game.
16:40 Putting on putting on a v r headset and playing RE7 was a game changer in horror games
It absolutely was. My first experience with RE7 was playing it in VR and loved every moment of it
"Experiencing this in VR is absolutely a love letter to your adrenal glands". This was Gold. You earned a sub.
i shitted myself when i was 11 in resident evil 7 vr when that Marguerite jumpscared by the window
Yeah that was definitely an epic moment 😂 Let's hope we get RE7 in PSVR 2
The scariest moment in RE5 for me were when the reapers came out of nowhere. I turned off my PS3 and said “Nope,not tonight”
😂Man, anything with the word "reaper" makes me think of the reaper leviathans in Subnautica 👀
I actually had nightmares from that baby. Scariest thing I’ve ever experienced in a game
Yeah that thing is nightmare fuel
I think the scariest moment in re 3 remake is when your running away from nemesis as jill and he just jumps in front of you and then chases you and then punches you.
Even playing Resident Evil 3 for the first time in 2023, the nemesis jumpscare really got me haha
😂Gets me every time
This isn’t the scariest scene in the series but I really found the first zombie encounter in the original resident evil so creepy, just the way it stares at you
Definitely an iconic moment
Even though I've played RE8 multiple times, house beneviento still gives me chills, that baby monster is absolutely terrifying
Exactly. It's just a messed up sequence, no matter how you look at it 😂
I think Leon’s campaigns are scariest on average than other characters of the RE verse
Yeah, never thought of it that way, but I definitely agree
The amount of times i got jumpscared by mr x 1 millisecond after opening a door getting smacked/thrown has got me shitting my pants in all colors possible
I believe it!
It’s funny- for a younger fan like myself I find it so charming that the nemesis jumpscare in RE3 was even considered scary at all! Not to discredit it- it’s kinda fun to try and put myself in the headspace of a child playing that game in an age where it was the peak of realistic graphics
I’ve played every resident evil a few times and jack baker still scares the shit outta me! The crimson heads in REmake, original nemesis, the giant baby….all scary as fuck.
Heck yeah, all killer moments for sure 💯
man i remember playing RE3 when i was 8yo with my neighbour who was 10 yo. we were so afraid of nemesis and i still remember this moment when he enters trough the rcpd window. We beat the game in like 2 months and i consider that a life achievement for a 8yo kiddo. That was a long time ago,im almost 26 now :D
The very first zombie fmv in re1 left a mark on me back in 96
That fmv was definitely the image of the series in the 90s
The first time seeing Mr.X in RE 2 remake was the scariest for me
As long as I have a gun, nothing to be scared of.
“Nothing like seeing this menace staring you down” my brother, he’s blindfolded
🤣See what you did there
The first zombie in REmake lived rent-free in my head for so many years.
I've played RE7 and I can also say that the giant baby from Village was horrifying. But personally the scariest thing to me in Resident Evil is Mr. X in RE2 remake. Just the fact that he's always roaming around in the RPD and trying to find you is horrifying. It always puts you on edge because you never know if he can suddenly come through the same door you need to go through or if he comes popping around the corner.
Great video village in vr is pretty scary so its a little disappointing that the dlc doesn't have vr support village is one of psvr2 must have games.
Thanks! I'm also bummed that the DLC isn't playable in VR. The mannequins would be terrifying to experience in that format!
@@funmylife9248 yeah it could of made great use of psvr2 eye tracking for that part and hopefully re7 gets a psvr2 update soon time soon.
@@comicbookguygamecat Right? I'm really looking forward to the RE4 PSVR2 update as well. I hear we are going to get a lot more information about it during Tokyo Game Show
@@funmylife9248same and yeah hopefully we get more information and I think village was at last years.
@@comicbookguygamecat Really hoping we'll have the mode out in time for Halloween this year!
Mr X in RE2 gets it for me. It's a different ball game playing on hardcore mode if he gets his hands on you you're pretty much done.
The most terrifying parts in all the games of this franchise for me were the sudden jumpscare appearances of Mr. X in the B scenarios of the original RE 2. Like Nemesis in RE3 but happened multiple times and even though the encounters were fixed, you'd be scared of ANY narrow hallways. At all times.
I agree with them all, expect hunters weren’t to scary for me cause i grew up in texas and i found lizards all over my house during like summer which made hunters kinda silly for me
its debatable what i thought was scarier; seeing Mr. X for the first time in the RE 2 remake, or the baby monster from RE 8
Both were definitely startling moments, no doubt. For me, the baby encounter took the cake. I knew something was going to happen, but just not quite like that 😂
@@funmylife9248 what about the first appearance of licker in resident evil 2 og, especially when it's seen crawling through the window
@@suhailshaikh8529 It's a good one, although I think there are scarier moments in the game personally. The scariest licker encounter for me was in the interrogation room
@@funmylife9248 respect your opinion but when we see him first time we had no idea what the hell was it ( atleast for non movie watchers) cuz later we can kill them easily with good weapons
The fact that everything that happened in House Beneviento wasn’t real still blows my mind. Like it’s already the scariest part of the game and you’re telling me it’s just Ethan’s halucinations
I played resident evil 5 when I was like 8 years old at that time it was probably one of the scariest games I had played but after watching RUclipsrs play the whole of resident evil 7 I would say re7 was the most scariest
Ofc we all wave at the baby when taking the elevator up in VR Village
Gotta give the proper salute
Walking mannequins in Shadows of Rose dlc were absolutely terrifying ☠️
Lmao in re7, the arm bit scared me so much that when I picked it, I walked backwards and never noticed the legs
😂Good thing!
The scariest part of this video was probably hearing the RPD station being refered to as RCPD over and over again
