This loving game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYvlcP1OheI My uncle gave it to me to play and it just...it just has this weirdly ominous atmosphere that really got to me when I was 7. I think I only played it once and didn't get too far in to it. After that I think I hid the game case because even looking at it filled me with dread. I feel much the same about the Oddworld games.

alexandriao posted:honestly as an adult I'm low key creeped out by those games too It's all that plus the way the character moves and the way there is very little background music, and when there is music it's just weird. Not even mentioning the fact that you are pretty much alone and there aren't any other background characters milling about. It's just unnerving as hell. I think I was playing it in a room by myself, too, at my uncle's house that I had never been to before. It was one of those, "here, Little Happy Landfill, you play this computer game while your dad and I go do Cool Dad Guy Stuff for a bit."

verbal enema posted:Was the guy who was working in his field when his judge buddy came down the road and the farmer man began to walk towards him but fell and started calling out for help but his family + the search party couldnt find a single trace of him and over the period of a few weeks his family would hear him callling for help but the calls for help faded away more and more and he was never ever found? David Lang! That story really freaked me out when I was a kid too - we probably had every single one of those Mysteries of the Unexplained/ Usborne Book of Ghosts type books. I just looked him up and apparently it never happened at all, which is both a relief and a disappointment http://hoaxes.org/archive/permalink/the_disappearance_of_david_lang/ verbal enema posted:It could have been!

The opening scenes of Kung Fu hustle where the mobster gets his foot lopped off and then the woman gets gunned down, while intended to be humorous, struck me as just unnecessarily violent. And then the hanging scene in Swordfish. I probably watched more rated R films as a child than age appropriate stuff. I think the problem was that my Dad was addicted to consuming media and my mom was a doormat.

YEP. Also the X-Files PS1 game. Actually all the PS1 games were spooky because I could only play them around my aunties and it was upstairs in their bedroom, the general aesthetic was weird and slightly spooky, esp when everyone's downstairs. The lack of like, background characters in most of the games added to that, as someone else mentioned. These days the stalker games really creep me out. I tried playing pripyat and I had to like, physically untense my body because I was clenching every muscle I had during the first hour of the game lol. For some reason I can deal with horror movies just fine, and I binge on SCPs regularly even though when I was a kid the first ones I read made me feel like I had a fuckin spirit behind me about to kill me for a couple of days. But games?

I also have that fear of deep murky water. It mostly started with a dream about swimming in wide open ocean with no land or surface in sight, and seeing a big dark shape rising up beneath me. I'm pretty sure because of that, before I was 10 sometimes when pouring some of the tea dad would make in a big glass jar and I would look into the dark murky tea water I would sometimes imagine a tiny little kraken or lochness monster to inexplicably rise up in my dad's jar of tea and bleat at me or something. The xfiles episode of eternal youth invisible lizard men where they showed nothing but glowing red eyes staring in the darkness, and then they suddenly rush towards the camera. I once mistook some lights through a window in total darkness as a pair of eyes that had me paralyzed in bed staring at them because of that episode. Also my dad had this CD and the mannequin dummy guy was disturbing for 7 year old me:  Looking at the picture always made me imagine this guy just kind of lumbering towards you, which might be funny looking as an adult but not when you are a kid.

I get chronic canker sores in my mouth and when I was little i got it in my head that maybe one day my whole mouth would just be replaced by a giant canker sore. Just a pulsating agonizing divot where my mouth should be. Luckily that didn't happen.

I loved me some Dragon Ball when I was a little girl but drat did some really specific parts of it freak me out. One time I had a dream that Vegeta was asleep on the stairs in my house. It was before I saw him become a grumpy pink-shirt wearing dad; he was still a big bad guy to me so I was like oh crap, Vegeta's here! I wanted to go upstairs to my bedroom, but I couldn't get past Vegeta without waking him up. The more I tried to step around him to get up the stairs, he would start snoring angrily and looking like he was gonna wake up. By the end of the dream I was just sitting on the bottom step and crying because Vegeta was blocking my path to my bedroom. After that dream I was a little nervous on that staircase for a few weeks. At some point I saw a similar alien abduction special to what seems to have scared everyone else in thread, so naturally I was terrified of being abducted in my sleep. The problem was that RIGHT before seeing it, I was going through a huge alien phase. I was super into Invader Zim and of course DBZ, so during the day I'd watch shows that had aliens and play with alien toys and wear shirts with that default green "grey alien" head on it, and then I'd go to bed and forcefully hold the covers down around myself to try to keep the aliens from getting me and being freaked out. At some point it morphed into specifically being convinced that Frieza and Cell were gonna come in through the window and abduct me in the night. It was going on for weeks and messing with my sleep. My big brother finally gave me this beach towel he had with Goku and all the other good guys on it sleep with as a blanket so that Goku and all his friends would protect me  The logic made perfect sense and I was over it immediately.Oh yeah but whenever Cell would absorb people with his tail I would freak

Department store mannequins. I was convinced they’d come to life and grab me and drag me into the clothes racks and make me one of them. To get to the toilets at Myer you had to go down a passage which also led to their storage areas. Sometimes the doors would be open and you could see piles of mannequins, some missing their heads or arms. I’d throw a fit if I saw them. Especially the headless ones. Then I’d throw another fit immediately afterwards because I thought cats lived inside public toilets and if I used them the cats would jump out and bite my dick.
