Infinite hands down the most terrifying childhood gaming memory...

Nah, what got me was the giant black hand that comes down from the ceiling and drags you up. I literally didn't finish Ocarina of Time for 7 years due to the Shadow Temple.

Since I never owned an N64 and I don't have many scary games, the most horrifying gaming experience I ever had was from Bioshock.

There's this one part about a quarter way into the game where you go to a frozen section where there is a surgery room. Upon entering the room, you notice a frozen corpse on the table. As you go up to it, the screen begins to freeze up and your character is now immobile. Cold fog fills the room until you're completely blind. After a few seconds, the fog disappears and your character becomes immobile again. You look at the operation table and see that the body has disappeared. Your first instinct is to turn around and as you do so, he comes flying out of nowhere with a screeching battle cry. That my friends, is how I nearly shat my pants from a video game.

Try being 10 years old and watching your friends older brother play the original RE in the pitch black of a basement

You never played Fatal Frame as a 11 year old.

I hated this guy from DK64 so much more. The combination of his increasing speed, the frantic music, and that fact that he's just creepy looking made him so stressful.

At my house we called these guys Jim Carrey because of the way it moves its jaw. Plus sorta looks like him.

If your childhood memories are from a 3D game, you are still a child.

I know that is under the Well, but it just makes me think of the Shadow Temple. Though they are rather similar. Seriously, what the hell happened down there? Hyrule Castle Town is filled with the undead, but the Shadow and Under the Well are these little tucked away places filled with torture chambers and horrible things.

Oh god no. Mine was Redeads.

I understand we were all afraid of them, but I had one experience that scared me forever.

There I am, about 10 or something, playing Ocarina of Time, traveling through Hyrule, when all of the sudden, I find a hole. "It ain't notihin'!" Little me thinks, "I tackle these all the time!" and so I hop on in.

I land in there, and there are two Redeads standing on the opposite side of the room. I am terrified right now, because Redeads have always scared me. But I take a deep breath and pull out my fire arrows and take aim, because I realize that I'm out of their reach and they can't "see" me yet. So I shoot the arrow and kill the one on the left. He falls and dies in a flaming heap.

This is where it starts to really scare me, Slowly, the other Redead begins to move. Not towards me, but, towards the fallen one. His head moved ever so slowly, his torso and body still facing me, but his head was completly facing the other way, and then his body slowly turned to to join it, and he started walking in the direction of the other redeads burning body. It was slow, and I was literally frozen in fear as this happened, confused and a little curious.

He gets to the body and stares down at it, Just standing over it for what seemed like ages, I begin to pull out my bow again, and suddenly, his head flips around and SCREAMS at me. I scream, throw my controller and run out of the room, and then I realize Link is left alone and I run back in there and shake the controller to break free, run out of the cave and never go back.

If you have the patience to watch, ReDeads will eat their fallen comrade if they get to the corpse before it disappears.

Childhood? I think you mean college. Wow, i'm getting old.

Skydragonace · 7 months

These were scary, but I personally was terrified going out into hyrule field at night when I was a child. Those freaking skeletons scared the crap out of me! The shadow temple was insanely frightning as well, but I hated the bottom of the well also.

DashRunner92 · 7 months

First time leaving the Temple of Time as adult Link horrified me when I was little. I was not expecting anything like what I saw. All those creepy redeads and the sounds they make when they try to grab you >_< I use to make a mad dash to and from that temple.

When I was a kid, I don't know if I hated the Water Temple or the Shadow Temple more.

One was infinitly frustrating, the other was infinitly terrifying.

The scariest thing for me was the zombie in Kakariko graveyard. I think i went in their one time, got attacked by one of those brown zombies that latch onto you head, noped, left, and never came back until my second playthrough years later.

I think I repressed this or something, because I beet OOT when I was like 7

And MM when I was like 9. Which is this from?

ReleeSquirrel · 7 months

I'm too old for that to be a childhood memory. My most terrifying childhood memory was the movie "The Gate" where two little boys accidentally open a portal to hell. Games never really terrified me. Not even Wall Masters, Floor Masters or Redeads.

Shut up and sit down.

Majora's Mask was way more terrifying than OoT. How about those giant snakes at Pinnacle Rock? Kept nine year old me from finishing the game for a year.

LordANCT · 7 months

I completely forgot about that... I got a chill and creeped out soon as I saw it.

I hate you so much. This wasn't scary and you are just going for easy karma with 'omg zelda post!'.

Awful graphics are terrifying.

Fuck I must be old.

These were your childhood gaming memories? For me, these were games too lame to play when I was 18.
