Body horror in unsuspecting videogames

- After going on a Wendigoon binge, the topic of body horror came to me. The first thought after was gta 4's statue of liberty and the easter egg inside it, which probably traumatized me when I was a kid. It got me thinking, are there other instances of Body horror in other videogames?
I never looked the heart of the GTA 4 statue that way, it's way creepier than i remember
Honestly me too, before making this video I never got a good look up close at the statue
Gta 4 analog horror should exist
Man, you just reminded me of the statue's heart in GTA and how scared I was of it younger; great memories!
One for the books!
It’s like the Heart of Mensis from Bloodborne. Even in a game like that it comes off as uncanny and unsettling.
A place I wasn’t expecting to see body horror was Red Dead Redemption 2. The famous example is that murder mystery quest line , but the thing that really got me was how Kieran died. The O’Driscolls sent his body into camp, riding his horse like nothing was wrong. Neither Dutch and Arthur know what they’re looking at. Then the camera zooms in and Kieran holding his own head with his eyes gouged out. Something about it was just so unexpected that I had to pause the game, and I didn’t fully know what I was going on until Mary-Beth screams that “it’s Kieran!” Then the game immediately throws you into a gun fight. I guess another scene I didn’t expect was Sean’s death but the brutality of Kieran’s death just stuck out more. I don’t know if this really makes sense but I felt like I could contribute here.
Sekiro has some incredible instances of body horror, and the more you look into it you realize it's really all over the game. My favorite example is probably the Headless, who don't really follow the typical "gore and bones" mantra of body horror, but rather look like an actual bloated, pale corpse which washed up from the lake and started shambling around. Plus they have a grab which literally reaches into Sekiros bunghole to rip out one of his Chakras.
The more obvious example is the centipedes that invade their ghosts and make them immortal unless you kill the centipede itself.
Great video
Thanks for watching, and yeah I remember I went to fight the headless to get their item to help with the demon of hatred fight, and I always dreaded fighting them
Baldurs Gate 3 also has lots of unsuspecting body horror moments. Like the mindflayers transformations, gnoll transformations, that disgusting parasite hatching area under moonrise tower.
The Flood really are the quintessential Body Horror Zombies, aren't they? Whether it be the early, almost animalistic depiction in Combat Evolved, or the more focused, Gravemind-led depiction of Halo 3, there's always something severely... off, about them.
I love body horror enemies as you get to kill them using the most inhumane but satisfying way, torching them.
Whether its the incinerator of HALO, the hydrazine torch in dead space, the inciendiary grenades of resident evil or the meltagun in 40k
if i meet some biohazard type enemies id prefer to use some sort of weapon that straight out leaves only inert vapor and soot from a mockup of a proper organism
Harold from the Fallout series, the man is stuck in a tree.
Lol the statue of happiness is Hillary. I never played the game but as soon as I saw that face I nearly spat out my drink. Hahahaha.
this is an awesome video, i’m glad it popped up in my recommended. you deserve more subs dude!
this bouta blow up
also CoD WWII zombies has some great body horror as well as the Half-Life series
Thanks! I hope so🤯
I'm HeRe tOo
Also, we'll see if you're right.
Damn, I don't usually comment at all even on big vids, but nice content man. I haven't thought about GTA 4 in forever. And I like the contrast you draw between so many genres, Sci Fi, Fantasy, etc
This whole video I assumed this was a huge channel from the quality bro you deserve more views and subs
Investing with an early subscription to this channel, amazing video man! Keep it up!
Dude this was an amazing video! Right before I subscribed, i was shocked that you werent a 20k or 50k subscription youtuber because your analysis and production quality is WAAY higher than your subcount! By the looks of it, this video caught the attention of the almighty algorithm, so hopefully you get plenty more subs because of it! Looking forward to your next hyperfixation! Also I'm curious, have you ever played scorn? The body horror is simultaneously expected and yet, otherworldly
Thanks for the support! And yeah I have played scorn, sucks there's not much after you finish the story
bro I was skipping thru the video and just step on the Conkers part and I just paused the video on pure unexpected fear, I didnt expect to see that game here and yes, when I played that game (when i was like 8) I just get "traumatized" until now I cant play that part of the game haha
Awesome video. I like your narration style
great quality man, keep it up!
Hear me out, SCP-001 When daybreaks, would be a good example in fiction
underrated
I relate to body horror because my body doesn't feel human to me (I know it's ironic)
I hope this will get a shit ton of views
Good video i subscribe
