Bowser's evil laugh when you first enter the castle in Mario 64, or when you try to enter a locked door.

It utterly petrified me and for YEARS I would have nightmares where I heard that laugh and scary jingle repeating.

Any time I started a new save file and/or accidentally bumped into a locked door, I'd cover my eyes and ears to avoid hearing it.

I guarantee you were all terrified when you first played this. You're just lying if you deny it.

The only game that ever scared me was Splatterhouse 3. Not being able to save someone from having their fucking brain eaten by a worm was not the kind of body horror a six-year-old should probably be exposed to, lol.

Besides that, I've never really found anything else scary. Anything where you're being hunted down or with monsters in the shadows just makes me more alert. I don't really feel anything at all.

The moaning trees scared me as a kid in MK2. It was funny playing it when I got older and just noticing how the moving face has sharp lines where it separates from the rest of the tree.

The mirror room in SH3 was pretty creepy.

After I saw my brother play this part, I looked away when I next saw it on my own playthrough.
It's a trivially easy boss fight anyway.

Something about the ghost lady in Uninvited spooked me pretty well when I was young. I think it's that she starts off looking fairly harmless, unlike other threats in the game, so interacting with her and getting a description of the protagonist being ripped into bloody chunks is more startling than the other potential deaths.

I hated being chased by sharks indoors in waist-deep clear water. Out of all the shit in RE, this is the only thing that bothered me.

Although looking back, how the hell would you open a door in a flooded room?

I was only 4 when I watched that intro of Dark Seed where a guy has his forehead ripped open and a seed is implanted in his brain. Fucked me up for a long time

That room was creepy. Pretty sure you die if you stand there too long, which is what I did because I wanted to see what would happen

For me it is the psx demo of nightmare creatures. Took me quite a while to fortify myself to actually play it through as the spooks were a bit much for young me. The other (and older) memory though not as scary is renting destruction derby 2. Love the game but the main menu terrified 8 year old me with its music.

I've come to appreciate it more as i've gotten older and I would describe it as "industrial desolation" but yeah, scared the fuck out of me back in the day.

Interacting with the brothers in Myst scared me, especially after finding the one hidden torture room. The electric chair in that room also scared me a lot.
