Be sure to check out these other great Top 10's, Top 10 Resident Evil Moments Top 10 Scariest Scenes From Non-Horror Movies Top 10 Scariest Urban Legends
I think Slender is more terrifying while Silent Hill is more horrifying. Slender is more focusing on the feeling of anxiety and the unknown (assuming that you hadn't your experience with youtube before playing it for the first time)
i don't know how you've been playing slender (if you've been playing properly then my hat goes of to you) but its meant to be played with headphones in a dark room and full volume. thats what makes it scary. also agree with you about silent hill
Dominic Shrimpton well, this generation of "horror" games are all jumpscares .... so yeah, slender is one of the top ones, but comparing with the old days when ppl really made scary videos games, now is rare u find a trully survival horror/horror game, just outlast i can find
Dominic Shrimpton I have to admit that I'm no one to judge slender because I have ligirofobia (Irrational fear to sudden loud sounds) so I'm not able to play any videogames with jumpscares, Slender to me is a nightmare, but in case that you are normal I don't see slender as a scary game, is easy to make jumpscares, but hard to make you feel so uncomfortable playing a videogame that after you play it you feel like someone could be in your house, for example, I can make a scary game, just like slenderman, you are in a room, and in a random moment will appear a screamer, the end. I know I'm exaggerating, but I think you know what I mean. But that's my opinion.
It's not jumpscares, it's more close to the see-don't-tell kind of horror. The slender man doesn't appear for a long time, and most of the game is just unnerving, forcing you into wide open or claustrophobic areas with no clue of where he is, and no way to kill him. It's pretty close to Silent Hill, and was made incredibly well for an indie game
I've never played Fatal Frame, but my dad did, and once, he and a few of his friends were playing it on the literal edge of their seats in the dark, and I put a soda box on my head (I was about 2 years old) and ran into the living room yelling, and they all fell down. I was the scariest little baby they have ever seen.
Slender shouldn't be on that list at all in my opinion. Sure it's kinda scary at first but once you get to understand how it works, it's just not scary anymore. I hate it how everyone nowadays acts like it's the scariest thing ever when it's really not.
What? The way you formulate this doesn't make any sense dude. Either way, maybe it is less scary to me but I still think people are overreacting way too much about Slender. Everybody acts like it's the scariest thing when it's really not.
I don't know about 12, but I played it over the course of a night from one evening until 5 the next morning. So maybe 8 or 9 hours? Not sure. It's not bad, no, but once you've mastered the controls and you can bend the rules a bit, you lose the feeling of helplessness. I was touching cloth when I saw the first naked burns victim in the wheelchair, though, I won't lie. Come to think, is it even explained why everyone's naked except for the central characters? I suppose it just got too slapstick for me after that bloke stuck a needle in my neck. I wouldn't deride you for being scared, though, like, if that's what you're into (into?). I'm scared of going asleep myself, and I know how silly that is.
seriously these games such as slenderman and five nights and freddy's that rely mostly on jumpscares do not even count as scary. it's startles you, that's all it does.
But you are scared throughout the whole game because you know that somewhere a faceless ghoul is hunting for you in the dark forest and you know once it will pop up right in front of your face with some scarry shit scene, but you do not know when, and that is the point, it can appear anytime and you know it but don't know when.
5naf fails because of its rely on jumpscares which it is known to be the cheapest way to scare people (acording to horror fans). It also fails as a whole videogame, because it lacks on some aspects that every other videogame needs to have so that the audience is interested on what they are playing. Just answer this questions: is there a variety of gameplay? Is there a story line? Do you care about the characters? Is there any background music? And most importantly, IS THERE ANY OTHER FACTOR THAT SCARES YOU OTHER THAN JUMPSCARES? The right answer to this questions is NO. Even slenderman had more complexy on its game and it is overated. Expecting something scary as you say makes the game be boring, you are NOT supposed to wait or expect something to pop up. It is supposed to surprise you without you expecting it because that's what makes it scary. I bet that the only game you have played is this one, don't make a game like this be so over rated because it has "jumpscares" and it made you jump a couple of times.
MrAmericasbadboy Like I said, the more "intense" it got, the more I laughed at it just because it was so corny to me lol maybe if this were the 50's it would have passed me as scary :P
You have to play it at 3:00 in the morning (darkest part of night) all alone with headphones on full blast. Even if it is fake it creeps the hell outta you.
UnchartedCookies But no, that doesn't make it a good horror game if you have to be delirious from lack of sleep, and on the verge of going def from the shit music. Slender man is literally nothing but jump scares where a nonthreatening business man is just randomly seen standing somewhere. That isn't scary. Thats a cheep and poorly made game.
Joseph Duncan I never said silent hill was the best scary game (although I place it among the best) ,the same goes to slenderman, but the reason silent hill 2 worked so well is because the game use psychological fear a great story and not to mention a fantastic soundtrack, (such as laura's theme, promise, The Darkness That Lurks in Our Mind, betrayal etc) to build up a great atmosphere I respect opinions, but saying slenderman is better than silent hill....no... just no
i bet if this was made now people would say five nights at freddy's should be number one man that game is fucking stupid the silent hill playable teaser was scarier and that's not even the full game
nah i knew the majority of these games before mark. Crooked man from a friend. Scp from Immortalhd, found 7 days while surfing the web....... The only game I havent heard of till mark was vanish
Outlast is scary, and I can't argue with that. But there's one problem; Too many jump-scares. Amnesia was just as scary without any jump-scares. Well...There was like....what?.. Two jump-scares in Amnesia? Well, it's fine if you don't agree with me. But Whisteblower was AMAZING.
SCP: Containment Breach is a pretty damn scary indie game. It's a FPS based around being trapped in an unground facility full of otherworldy monsters that cannot be stopped or avoided. You have to solve puzzles, navigate dark coridors and avoid getting killed by the monsters (SCPs) and the security task force sent in to kill you. Being as it was very popular last year, I'm surprised it didn't make this list. It's the scariest game I have ever played.
i think the game becomes TRULY SCARY if you actually know about The foundation website. If not it might look like a bunch of random monsters put together on a terrible graphics engine xD
Blergh I saw the 87B and looked it up. That's how I found the website, and suffice to say, I am a giant fan. I would love to see more games and possible tv show/movie. Some of the content there is pure gold. :D
Fatal Frame is the scariest part of my childhood. I can still clearly see my brother and I in a pitch black room huddled in front of the Xbox playing that game and getting so scared! XD But it's still one of my favorites.
So many missed opportunities considering the addition of free games. SCP Containment Breach SCP 087-B LSD Grey (HL2 MOD) Yume Nikki Ao Oni Imscared These are some of the examples of games that don't need to be AAA titles to provide good scares. Some come from simple indie developers and are surprisingly accessible with many being free.
mattf1sh97 IMO Ravenholm wasn't scary at all, but that's just me. The Shalebridge Cradle from Thief 3 or whatever it was called was most definitely scary.
I was waiting the whole video to see if you'd mention Fatal Frame and if you hadn't I would've flipped haha. I'm glad it was #1. Shit messed up my childhood. Still creeps me out today! Rest of the list was very good as well.
Elijahchu No it didn't. It came out in 2013 in the fall if not earlier, so it could make the list if the watchmojo people whats known as, any creative intelligence whatsoever
I agree with Fatal Frame. Its just soo f*cking terrifying and scary! Forced to look at the ghost face just to defeat it is soo scary. The atmosphere is just incredible. Japan is the best for making RPG's and Scary games. True scary games doesnt rely on jump scares at all the time. Yeah I'm talking about Slenderman
Outlast is the creepiest game because: 1st person, locked in an insane asylum with mutated inmates, your light is a video camera with a limited battery.
Still 100% convinced that Silent Hill Shattering memories is the best scary game ever. Why? It’s about a man who took his daughter to the funfair but ends up in a car crash on the way home now the dad has to find his daughter. Going trough past memories of hers, photographing pics of shadowed ghosts and find out about them, the ending is also berilliant and the details added to the game is just absolutely stunning x. Worth giving a go
so many people asking why certain games are not in the list "Published on Dec 21, 2013" unless the video creators could time travel there is no way a game made in 2014 is going to be in the list also jump scare is the laziest and cheapest horror related element it only works 2 or 3 times before you get used to it and in some cases only once
I gotta disagree with you on the jump scare point. Here's the thing about jump scares: yes, they're not the things that stick with you later on, but they are what makes tension in horror so frightening. If a game is all jump scares, I agree, it's not scary. However, when used infrequently and unexpectedly, the jump scare is what causes building tension to be so freaking scary. I agree that psychological horrors like Silent Hill and Amnesia will stick with the player longer and, as a result, be more scary, but jump scares absolutely have a place in horror, and isn't half as lazy or cheap as gibs and gore.
THANK you. People are just so saturated with data now, especially on the internet, they never bother to look at something deeper than its title. No one does RESEARCH anymore. (Hasty Generalization, ahoy!)
Ali Irfan You are correct that the jump scare itself is merely startling, and a game that is only jump scares can become stale very quickly. However, the startling nature of jump scares will often lead people to become more nervous. For instance, I was playing a game with my friends once (it was an awful indie title from indiedb, I can't remember which one). The game started out innocent enough without any jump scares or any scares at all for that matter, then we opened a door and there was a jump scare that was very startling (as you mentioned jump scares are). After that, doors became a point of fear because of the dread of being startled again. Like I said, when used well, jump scares can inspire fear. Although they are not the direct cause of fear themselves, they can make seemingly not scary actions, like opening a door for instance, into a nerve-wracking feat.
10. Hypno's Lullaby 9. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 8. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem 7. Dead Space 6. Fatal Frame 5. SCP Containment Breach 4. Minecraft 3. Escape From Lavender Town 2. Amnesia: The Dark Descent 1. Silent Hill 2
Slender is the LEAST scary game I've ever played, sure the first time you die and get the white static screen it's a shocker, but EVERY time after it's just pathetic...
I know. It took me a few years (since 2013) to get over my fear of Slender. But, I now sleep with the light on. Wow, Toonami! Thanks a lot for scaring me! THANK YOU!
not only did you put slender on this list not only did you put it at number three but you put it as scarier than silent hill 2 literally why would you do that oh my god
Zen Barclay Well there are these new things the kids are doing called jokes. What happens is someone posts a statement that's so wildly false that it forces the reader to laugh.
No, because it's the same scares the entire game. It's scary the first hour or two, but then it only gets frustrating because it goes like this: Scary monster sees you, get mad and run away for 30 seconds, hide, come out of hiding spot, go a bit further then before, get seen by scary monster, rinse and repeat.
Wesker12349 Too bad we're no longer in the past. And, you don't have to be rude and act like a child because someone you'll never even meet doesn't like a game you like.
Warning, if you go into the comments your brain will melt of edgy little kids who piss their pants over FNAF, or salty people who say that other games aren't there. You have been warned.
Amnesia is terrible... Why it's even on this list... Is beyond me... The only good part was the water part with the invisible demon other than that, the game just didn't have anything good about it... Specifically since the game literally tells you in red bold letters, there is a monster nearby... Yeah... Thanks for ruining the atmosphere game...
***** Amnesia I agree with. It's a bad game with a broken AI that relies on cheap jump scares and boring level design to get its scares. Slender has an edge because - while predictable - Slender will just flat out kill you if the AI wants to. Often times I get to the 6th letter and if I take too long, Slender will just spin me around, forcing me to die. That's scary, if nothing else. However, it's a shallow game when compared to some of the games on this list regardless.
***** So describe what's scary about the game. The sense of dying? That isn't scary. The creature isn't scary. The creature doesn't do disturbing or chilling things. What does it do? It smashes open doors to startle you, and often times you see it after you turn a corner or open a door. How is there not jump scares? It's not a scary game, it's a tense game. "Where's he gonna be next?" but once you see him it's about finding a way away from him. It's not scary once you catch on to what's necessary.
Scp is best game I was making a series on my channel but my game started to crash after the first episode...there's a new update so imma get dat....one of the best games ever!!
Silent hill 2 should be WAY more up there. It was a game that i dont even think had ONE jump scare and completely had atmosphere to scare u, followed by a great story. Best horror game of all time in my opinion.
Well Slender is not a Jumpscare kindof horror it is Psycological or whatever that word is. So that means that if you play it in a dark room voices full with headsets, it is scary.

Geometry DomoDash i didn't see it.
Outlast was released in September 2013. Watchmojo uploaded this in December 2013.
I didn't know when out last was released
Andrew Amenn fnaf is just cheap jumpscares
Slender above Silent Hill 2?! I've lost faith in humanity
Actually, Silent Hill didn't scare me at all, if we go on quality, obviously SH2 is above.
+Dany Sora P.T silent hills is scary :/
Not so much, used to play t because of the story
This list is obviously an opinion not a fact
I think Slender is more terrifying while Silent Hill is more horrifying.
Slender is more focusing on the feeling of anxiety and the unknown (assuming that you hadn't your experience with youtube before playing it for the first time)
It's nearly Christmas, guys! Let's have a Hallowe'en episode!
"Alan Wake" is totally missing in this list...not for the terror but the atmosphere!
They left out every single Barbie game.
that game is the scariest fucking game i ever seen in my entire life
😉😉😉
Seems legit
Honestly though.
it is just a demo but PT deserve to be on a 2016 list with Five Nights at Freddys, Outlast and Hannah Montana : the game
Omg yes lololol
Hannah Montana the game is the scariest game in existence
I agree with the Outlast
FNAF is not scary anymore, FNAF 1 and 3 were kinda scary butt the others are shit sorry
Belpherith i agree
I would call SlenderMan startling, not scary.
Slenderman in #3 ... :Ultimate facepalm: Slender is not scary, slender is jumpscares, silent hill in #4... MY GOD
i don't know how you've been playing slender (if you've been playing properly then my hat goes of to you) but its meant to be played with headphones in a dark room and full volume. thats what makes it scary. also agree with you about silent hill
Dominic Shrimpton well, this generation of "horror" games are all jumpscares .... so yeah, slender is one of the top ones, but comparing with the old days when ppl really made scary videos games, now is rare u find a trully survival horror/horror game, just outlast i can find
Dominic Shrimpton I have to admit that I'm no one to judge slender because I have ligirofobia (Irrational fear to sudden loud sounds) so I'm not able to play any videogames with jumpscares, Slender to me is a nightmare, but in case that you are normal I don't see slender as a scary game, is easy to make jumpscares, but hard to make you feel so uncomfortable playing a videogame that after you play it you feel like someone could be in your house, for example, I can make a scary game, just like slenderman, you are in a room, and in a random moment will appear a screamer, the end.

Sillent hill is the most scary and disturbing game i ever played...
Then you dont know what manhunt is
@@DanielGonzalez-pr9uf Did that even come out yet? How long has Manhunt been out?
Alex Zander um it came out in 2003
Pussy
They just came out with a video that has silent hill at the top if that makes you feel better
the scariest game of all time is missing
slendytubbies
this is not a joke I'm serious
I know it's actually so much scarier than slender!!
It's so bad
yeah I HAD to go see it after reading this comment...wish I hadn't lol
its
horrifying
My brother thinks its not scary.
I've never played Fatal Frame, but my dad did, and once, he and a few of his friends were playing it on the literal edge of their seats in the dark, and I put a soda box on my head (I was about 2 years old) and ran into the living room yelling, and they all fell down. I was the scariest little baby they have ever seen.
Slenderman could have easily been top it was a simply made game but very scary and intriguing.. As for Silent Hill 2 that's a classic right there..
Slenderman isn't scary.
Am I the only one who thinks Slender isn't that scary? I mean as old as it is, and knowing its origins, I'm not sure why anyone is.
Im with you
me too
It really isnt
Rather, it's not scary anymore
me and my friends laugh when we played slender
Comment Section:
WHERE TF IS FNAF?!
WHERE TF IS OUTLAST?!
WHY TF IS SLENDER HIGHER THAN SILENT HILLS 2?!
Fnaf isn't scary at all
Fnaf should still be here.
It doesn't scare me anymore but I love it. I know many who live it and it scared the crap out if em.
This video is from 5 years ago, just saying.
Umm are you even a horror fan or just a kid who watch youtubers scream as they play Granny?
Yall argueing over a 2 year old comment
Am I the only one who didn't find the ending scary?
I saw this comment and the whole time I was thinking please don't be scary maze
JXSF
Why wasn't outlast on here. Im not complaining or anything but I couldn't sleep because of outlast
its there opinion
I think outlast was released before this video was made.
Isela Zepeda You are actually correct and that guy is wrong. Outlast came out in September of 2013 so yeah! You were right!
Why does everything come out in September! that's the month of my birthday!
your soo right
The original Silent Hill was the game that disturbed me the most
+Hellchen317 word
Especially the alley way nightmare scene
Condemned is one of the most awesome, thrilling and terrifying games ever made, I was left shaking after some missions. An absolute classic.
P.T.? Outlast?
+butter nutt outlast wasnt relesed at the time when this vid was made
IKR
+butter nutt What is PT?
SvarteIX Its a horror game, look up teens react to pt
Damn I looked up the game it looked phenomenal... Shame it got cancelled :/ I'm gonna go check out that teens react video should be good XD
Slender shouldn't be on that list at all in my opinion. Sure it's kinda scary at first but once you get to understand how it works, it's just not scary anymore. I hate it how everyone nowadays acts like it's the scariest thing ever when it's really not.
Its not to you But it is stop is to them
What? The way you formulate this doesn't make any sense dude.
Either way, maybe it is less scary to me but I still think people are overreacting way too much about Slender. Everybody acts like it's the scariest thing when it's really not.
To them its scary, But i do not think its scary as well
Xander_The_Assassin Never said they weren't allowed to be scared of it lol. All i'm saying is that it's getting exaggerated.
Well yeah but i never Said you said They weren't allowed
Outlast is the new #1
It is just so disturbing and scary.
For the first hour, maybe. For the twelve hours after that it's repetetive.
RimboBobo 12? How did you make it last so much? It aint a bad game, but I believe that the hype is quite strong with it
Outlast is my number 1 scariest game, definitely.
I don't know about 12, but I played it over the course of a night from one evening until 5 the next morning. So maybe 8 or 9 hours? Not sure. It's not bad, no, but once you've mastered the controls and you can bend the rules a bit, you lose the feeling of helplessness. I was touching cloth when I saw the first naked burns victim in the wheelchair, though, I won't lie. Come to think, is it even explained why everyone's naked except for the central characters?

makes it even less scary, when you're expecting something to pop right at your screen.
Johnny Vaultinator your logic fails lol, why would you be scared if you don't expect anything scary?
5naf fails because of its rely on jumpscares which it is known to be the cheapest way to scare people (acording to horror fans).

What is five nights and Freddy's?
I'm sorry, Slenderman just didn't scare me. In fact, it was so over-the-top with the melodrama I actually chuckled at it when I played it.
Meh. It didn't scare you at all? What about when you were on the last page weren't you hyped?
MrAmericasbadboy Like I said, the more "intense" it got, the more I laughed at it just because it was so corny to me lol maybe if this were the 50's it would have passed me as scary :P
You have to play it at 3:00 in the morning (darkest part of night) all alone with headphones on full blast. Even if it is fake it creeps the hell outta you.
UnchartedCookies
But no, that doesn't make it a good horror game if you have to be delirious from lack of sleep, and on the verge of going def from the shit music. Slender man is literally nothing but jump scares where a nonthreatening business man is just randomly seen standing somewhere. That isn't scary. Thats a cheep and poorly made game.
I'm sorry but, are you serious? You put Slender the eight pages over Silent Hill 2?!?!? Brugh..
I know right slenderman isn't even scary ⌐_⌐
This isn't THE BEST SCARY GAMES.
John Hisic I know, but slender is no where near as scary as SH2
Joseph Duncan I never said silent hill was the best scary game (although I place it among the best) ,the same goes to slenderman, but the reason silent hill 2 worked so well is because the game use psychological fear a great story and not to mention a fantastic soundtrack, (such as laura's theme, promise, The Darkness That Lurks in Our Mind, betrayal etc) to build up a great atmosphere I respect opinions, but saying slenderman is better than silent hill....no... just no
carmen a. gonzalez rios You are completely right.
Parasite Eve is such a great game. Truly immersive story that keeps you hooked from beginning to end!
Wheres SCP containment breach :C
Christial Jack Ik were is it
How about a video about scary happenings in non-horror games?
The rat man from Portal 2 is terrifying.
i bet if this was made now people would say five nights at freddy's should be number one man that game is fucking stupid the silent hill playable teaser was scarier and that's not even the full game
Nezeron Bloodmayne long time no see but yeah its all a matter of perspective of fear and it does look promising
Nezeron Bloodmayne i noticed that
Nezeron Bloodmayne oh that explains it all i do is play pokemon
Nezeron Bloodmayne ok you would love hydreigon
XCDGames omg u swear too much X3
Slender makes it to the list, higher than SILENT HILL 2, and Outlast isn't even mentioned. Smh.
Ravyn James outlast wasn't out when this list was made
Ohhhh. Whoops xD
If this list was updated, I would fully expect Alien Isolation and Outlast to be on here. And who knows. RE7 might be the ultimate horror game
Ravyn James hvgffdgdgdgu
Ravyn James IKR about outlast
Outlast, The Scp games, Vanish, 7 Days, The Crooked Man...... They're all scarier than these
Exactly!
7 Days is not scary
*Cough *Cough games by markiplier *Cough
nah i knew the majority of these games before mark. Crooked man from a friend. Scp from Immortalhd, found 7 days while surfing the web....... The only game I havent heard of till mark was vanish
well in some gameplays mark says refernces to vanish
I don't completely agree with this. Amnesia is terrifying, but I tink Outlast is much scarier.
outlast did not exist when this video was made
34marmarmar outlast was released in September of 2013 and this was released in December so it was released
But I think ju on the grudge already existed
I didn't realize Outlast was not out at the time this video was published.
Outlast is scary, and I can't argue with that. But there's one problem; Too many jump-scares. Amnesia was just as scary without any jump-scares. Well...There was like....what?.. Two jump-scares in Amnesia? Well, it's fine if you don't agree with me. But Whisteblower was AMAZING.
Slender is like elmo compared to Silent Hill...
and Outlast? Wheres my Outlast?
Agree
That's in the other one. They made another top ten for scary games and Outlast was like #2.
Outlast SHOULD be on here
Well, Outlast came out in 2013.....
Xenogenesis - pg3d,Jurassic world,roblox Mobile Lol
Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Outlast in all honesty, know what the true definition of a great horror game is.
What about Outlast?!?! That game is awesome, and terrifying!
Yeah it definitely needs to be on this list... :/
The first part until you reach the doctor, okay. But than its very boring and annoying as hell
You are... not human...
***** Watch out we have a bad ass over here -_-
***** You can say anything, but the truth is the truth. Face it, you wet yourself didn't you?
SCP: Containment Breach is a pretty damn scary indie game. It's a FPS based around being trapped in an unground facility full of otherworldy monsters that cannot be stopped or avoided. You have to solve puzzles, navigate dark coridors and avoid getting killed by the monsters (SCPs) and the security task force sent in to kill you.
Being as it was very popular last year, I'm surprised it didn't make this list. It's the scariest game I have ever played.
I pee myself whenever I play this game
i think the game becomes TRULY SCARY if you actually know about The foundation website. If not it might look like a bunch of random monsters put together on a terrible graphics engine xD
Blergh I saw the 87B and looked it up. That's how I found the website, and suffice to say, I am a giant fan. I would love to see more games and possible tv show/movie. Some of the content there is pure gold. :D
Fatal Frame is the scariest part of my childhood. I can still clearly see my brother and I in a pitch black room huddled in front of the Xbox playing that game and getting so scared! XD But it's still one of my favorites.
This makes me wanna play a scary game now even though I scare super easy I just love the adrenaline that comes with a good scare lol
Slender was scary? Wow. And no Outlast?
Slender isn't scary at all. Only the music is. And after 2 times of playing, the music aint scary anymore either.
Yeah haha slender ain't that scary and also
Jumpscares are for wussies
So many missed opportunities considering the addition of free games.

These are some of the examples of games that don't need to be AAA titles to provide good scares. Some come from simple indie developers and are surprisingly accessible with many being free.
The Suffering deserves far more than just an "honourable mention".

mattf1sh97 IMO Ravenholm wasn't scary at all, but that's just me. The Shalebridge Cradle from Thief 3 or whatever it was called was most definitely scary.
i know, i was joking
mattf1sh97 Are you sure about that?
I screwed up the ending because I wasn't put up as number 1
Lol sorry slendy, maybe next time.
You can do it mr.slendy guy who makes people poop their pants':)
#2 Amnesia
#1 fatal Frame
#0 Slender Man
0 is greater than 1
***** *you're
I was waiting the whole video to see if you'd mention Fatal Frame and if you hadn't I would've flipped haha. I'm glad it was #1. Shit messed up my childhood. Still creeps me out today! Rest of the list was very good as well.
"There's no one here...." *shudders*
fatal frame the best game horor ever !!
Lamo XD damn creepers mostly
>> O-U-T-L-A-S-T
Me too :(
This came out before outlast
im not gonna lie i didn't find that really scary compared to others on this list
Amnesia is still the most horrifying game on the list.
Elijahchu No it didn't. It came out in 2013 in the fall if not earlier, so it could make the list if the watchmojo people whats known as, any creative intelligence whatsoever
I agree with Fatal Frame. Its just soo f*cking terrifying and scary! Forced to look at the ghost face just to defeat it is soo scary. The atmosphere is just incredible. Japan is the best for making RPG's and Scary games. True scary games doesnt rely on jump scares at all the time. Yeah I'm talking about Slenderman
speaking of creepy, might I add L looks a little creepy in that profile pic...
LOL
Yeah. Corpse Party has a very creepy atmosphere. Even if its 16 or 32 bit game its still creepy
did you alredy play call of cthulhu dark corners of the earth? its more scary that i can say
well, if you think japan is best at rpgs, 1 word, Skyrim
Outlast?
I love how 70% of the comment section is like "OMG WHER EIS FNAFF OGMM ?!?!?!?!?!?"
Gotta love this comment section
ikr so cancer
Agreed. "omfg im 8 fnafff iz s0 scurry uhuh where dafuq iz ittttttt"
butt your comment is cancer cause you just mentioned Five nights with pedo bear. "70%" what are u a fucking scientist mister fucking sherlock?
Belpherith lolwut
fnaf is gay but ur a weeb i play call of duty
Slender is the definition of what is wrong with modern horror genre. It's not about story, it's about loud noises
ironically it's still better than most horror games nowadays
Where is Outlast and The last of us?
Outlast was made in 2013 and this video was made in 2012
The last of us was a good game with a good story, but not at all scary.
Filipe Jung Both games were already released before the making of this video.
Last of Us, scary? How? When? It's a fan-f***ing-tastic game and I love it to death don't get me wrong, but how was it scary?
PikaLink91 I have no idea bro btw. Go Pewds
Outlast is the creepiest game because:
1st person, locked in an insane asylum with mutated inmates, your light is a video camera with a limited battery.
I agree
Outlast may very well be the most terrifying game I have ever experienced... and I am a _hardcore_ Silent Hill junkie.
Michael Melnick Outlast wasn't published, when this video came out.
WiseEndro333 at the end they asked for our opinions. i was just stating mine. :)
scifigeek14 Oh sorry, wrong comment.
alien isolation and outlast left me shitless
theres many games that scared me, Outlast, The Calling, The Crooked Man, Amoung the Sleep, Paranormal Activity, and many more.
Among the Sleep probably would have been on this list had it not been released six months after this video.
alright, and what about Outlast?
I have no idea. I only learned of Among the Sleep a few hours ago when I saw H20Delirious ( #freeadvertising ) play a run through of the game.
Omg I love him :D
you should watch wowcrendor and Jesse Cox play Outlast, its awesome cx
top 10 urban legends sounds pretty cool...
they already did that
I'm gonna go ahead and guess that Outlast came out AFTER they put this video up.
I really thought it would be on the list too
I was like "It's gotta be #1 since they haven't even put it on the list or honorable mentions." Nope
Actually outlast came out in september
***** Dat game seriously brings all the boys the yard.
I'm not sure what that entitles.
Still 100% convinced that Silent Hill Shattering memories is the best scary game ever. Why?
It’s about a man who took his daughter to the funfair but ends up in a car crash on the way home now the dad has to find his daughter. Going trough past memories of hers, photographing pics of shadowed ghosts and find out about them, the ending is also berilliant and the details added to the game is just absolutely stunning x. Worth giving a go
Outlast should at least be an honorable mention.
Outlast wasn't that scary. Too many jump scares and enemy encounters. After a while the game just became repetitive and boring.
I disagree. I feel it should have at least been mentioned
Outlast is not in the list
The old Silent Hills, can't get any scarier than that
I cannot deal with Silent Hill 2. It is my weakness.
There was a hole here, it's gone now...
but silent hill 2 is not really scary. 1 or 4 are a lot more scary
Combiney So encountering and trying to avoid your own sins in the form of monsters isn't scary? If that's what your saying then I don't know what is.
Mohamed Ouali the atmosphere os SH1 & 4 is way creepier than that osf SH2
@@orkwurm 4 is def the scariest
Yeah Outlast should be #1, no contest
I think Outlast or Outlast: Whistleblower could have made it onto that list.
I think so too
A DLC is not a separate game.
It's 2014, why are you guys still not uploading in HD?
if you like system shock 2, then you should play Soma, that game is brilliant
"Slender: The Eight Pages" isn't scary to me
Okay but remember this list wasnt made for you
yeah not for me ether exept when there is a JUMP SCARE RIGT AT THE END OF THE VIDEO, DAMMIT!
so many people asking why certain games are not in the list
"Published on Dec 21, 2013"
unless the video creators could time travel there is no way a game made in 2014 is going to be in the list
also jump scare is the laziest and cheapest horror related element
it only works 2 or 3 times before you get used to it and in some cases only once
THANK YOU! I agree with you.
I gotta disagree with you on the jump scare point. Here's the thing about jump scares: yes, they're not the things that stick with you later on, but they are what makes tension in horror so frightening. If a game is all jump scares, I agree, it's not scary. However, when used infrequently and unexpectedly, the jump scare is what causes building tension to be so freaking scary. I agree that psychological horrors like Silent Hill and Amnesia will stick with the player longer and, as a result, be more scary, but jump scares absolutely have a place in horror, and isn't half as lazy or cheap as gibs and gore.
THANK you. People are just so saturated with data now, especially on the internet, they never bother to look at something deeper than its title. No one does RESEARCH anymore. (Hasty Generalization, ahoy!)
***** Jump scares are not scary. They startle you rather than scare you, like when someone comes up to you from behind and says 'boo.'
Ali Irfan You are correct that the jump scare itself is merely startling, and a game that is only jump scares can become stale very quickly. However, the startling nature of jump scares will often lead people to become more nervous. For instance, I was playing a game with my friends once (it was an awful indie title from indiedb, I can't remember which one). The game started out innocent enough without any jump scares or any scares at all for that matter, then we opened a door and there was a jump scare that was very startling (as you mentioned jump scares are). After that, doors became a point of fear because of the dread of being startled again. Like I said, when used well, jump scares can inspire fear. Although they are not the direct cause of fear themselves, they can make seemingly not scary actions, like opening a door for instance, into a nerve-wracking feat.

Luke Hoffman ony when i hear the music if herobrine
Luke Hoffman
Nope :)
Freddy Krueger
There's something wrong with you if you think they aren't scary.
1:06
i literally thought my computer was possessed lol
Slender is the LEAST scary game I've ever played, sure the first time you die and get the white static screen it's a shocker, but EVERY time after it's just pathetic...
I agree with you. But I nevered played the game. Even though I love scary stuff, the only one I hate is SLENDER, DANG IT!!!!
I recommend you never play it, it really is over rated :p
The sequel is pretty scary though.
I know. It took me a few years (since 2013) to get over my fear of Slender. But, I now sleep with the light on. Wow, Toonami! Thanks a lot for scaring me! THANK YOU!
***** Yeah! Also, he's even worst than Dark Konoha or Kuroha Outer Science!
and annoying
Outlast should have been No.1 on the list, it is the scariest game i have played in my life.
no its not
Judson Gann
Lol. So it's not the scariest game he's played in his life?
wow i really thought outlast was gonna be number one
me too outlast is really scary
me too
EngSmilllle fuck you it is scary
I've always thought "Siren" was the scariest
not only did you put slender on this list
not only did you put it at number three
but you put it as scarier than silent hill 2
literally why would you do that oh my god
ikr
Cinnamonpelt
Tomas Vilaikis ???
I can't believe Outlast didn't even make it to the honorable mentions list!
same as f.e.a.r 3
WHY IS SLENDER NUMBER 3 !?
ya?!
sorry to say it but slender isn't that bad :/
Yeah, it isn't scary. I never got the allure of it.
never tried it but saw people playing it
AmandaDragoness115 It may not be a bad game but it's not exactly scary. It makes you jump the first few times and that's about it.
whenever i play dead space, my heart thumps the whole time, it is such a tense game
Outlast was scarier than all these games except it came out later.
it came out before this was made
Cameron Potter even if it did came out outlast is nothing compared to fatal frame-silent hill-forbidden siren..
BadAssMacmillan I disagree but whatever all these games other than slender are scary
Where the hell is Mario Kart?
What The Heck Are You Talking About?!
Zen Barclay Well there are these new things the kids are doing called jokes. What happens is someone posts a statement that's so wildly false that it forces the reader to laugh.
Dat blue shell is the scariest thing in any game
Not quite! Nothing is scarier than that creepy ass banana!
Valid arguement
Can you try to make a video called "Top 10 scariest creepypastas?:3"-
THE EVIL WITHEN??!?!!!?!!?!?!?!?!
I think it came out after this list was made.
+steven cannon word man i can barely play the game because i have turtle beaches and i hear everything.
+steven cannon That game sucks.
+steven cannon that should be #1 definitely
+Darkdodge it would make sense because it's so good
From Top 10 Muppets to Top 10 Scariest Video Games... Makes you realize, you grow up so fast.. XDD
No Outlast? .-.
No, because it's the same scares the entire game. It's scary the first hour or two, but then it only gets frustrating because it goes like this: Scary monster sees you, get mad and run away for 30 seconds, hide, come out of hiding spot, go a bit further then before, get seen by scary monster, rinse and repeat.
***** Shut the fuck up, if someone from the past play outlast they would shit their pants, literally.
Wesker12349 Too bad we're no longer in the past. And, you don't have to be rude and act like a child because someone you'll never even meet doesn't like a game you like.
Warning, if you go into the comments your brain will melt of edgy little kids who piss their pants over FNAF, or salty people who say that other games aren't there. You have been warned.
Blanks Blood I think I've read this warning a little too late.
Michael Bosman May your soul rest in peace.
Michael Bosman (plays sad music on violin)
The prophecy was true!
or the tipical someone to point out something to make then feel different .
Now this is classic Watchmojo.
"Slenderman"
WatchMojo pls
That Slenderman cut off tho
I won't deny that Fatal Frame is a scary game. But honestly I felt Amnesia: Dark Descent should have been #1
Amnesia definitely builds that expectation of something scary happening, keeping a person on edge constantly
Amnesia is terrible... Why it's even on this list... Is beyond me... The only good part was the water part with the invisible demon other than that, the game just didn't have anything good about it... Specifically since the game literally tells you in red bold letters, there is a monster nearby... Yeah... Thanks for ruining the atmosphere game...
***** Amnesia I agree with. It's a bad game with a broken AI that relies on cheap jump scares and boring level design to get its scares.
Slender has an edge because - while predictable - Slender will just flat out kill you if the AI wants to. Often times I get to the 6th letter and if I take too long, Slender will just spin me around, forcing me to die. That's scary, if nothing else.
However, it's a shallow game when compared to some of the games on this list regardless.
***** True, I barely remember any jumpscares, just the sense of something chasing you
***** So describe what's scary about the game. The sense of dying? That isn't scary. The creature isn't scary. The creature doesn't do disturbing or chilling things.
What does it do? It smashes open doors to startle you, and often times you see it after you turn a corner or open a door. How is there not jump scares?
It's not a scary game, it's a tense game. "Where's he gonna be next?" but once you see him it's about finding a way away from him. It's not scary once you catch on to what's necessary.
Fatal Frame was scary. But not number 1. Silent hill 2 or Amnesia are better choices for the spot
Silent hill 2 all the way and the fact slender was higher! I fucking hate this channel but I always watch them i don't know why
SCP Containment Breach Wasn't on this list...
The creator(s) of WatchMojo...
PLAY IT AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK
Scp is best game I was making a series on my channel but my game started to crash after the first episode...there's a new update so imma get dat....one of the best games ever!!
it should have been
I can't play it without crying. :D
:D
:D
:D
D:
I love that game, but Slender is scarier.
Really? I don't think so. Slender is scary, sure, but SCP has the creepiness of 173 constantly stalking you outside your field of vision.
WatchMojo should do: Another Top 10 Scary Video Games since FNAF came out
ya right!and outlast too!
They should wait until silent hills comes out before they remake this one because I have a feeling it would be somewhere on the top of the list.
YA RIGHT DUDEV YOUR RIGHT!
Fox'y the Pirate Fox see you in FNAF 2 Anyways im not scary to you nad thas for me easy to not let you enter to my office Foxy!, but yeah he he...
:3
Am I the only one who thought Slender wasn't that scary?
um slender is not scary it only gets scary when slender suddenly appears and sound changes that moment is most scariest of all
Slender is a jackass I had 7 pages I'm within 15 ft of the last on and bam right in my face as I defin dogs everywhere
Silent hill 2 should be WAY more up there. It was a game that i dont even think had ONE jump scare and completely had atmosphere to scare u, followed by a great story. Best horror game of all time in my opinion.
Fatal Frame I can agree with, but Slender isn't scary.
Well Slender is not a Jumpscare kindof horror it is Psycological or whatever that word is. So that means that if you play it in a dark room voices full with headsets, it is scary.
HOLY SHIT. THAT ENDING. DAMMIT. I knew i shouldn't have watched the ending like always. GODAMMIT.
Damn cheap jumpscare at the end. Not cool man :(
I KNIW!!!
***** too obvious. you're just waiting for them to happen.
Those clips don't make Amnesia look scary, but believe me, it is absolutely terrifying.
