Um... one thing that scared me was in Jak 3... I was using a hoverboard and going off this creepy town island of outcasts known as Spargus city, with all the howlings of the desert and slow background theme. It was night, and nights are scary in the game. I took the Board and managed to escape a few meters of the island... When suddenly a LONG tentacle pulls Jak down, with a very scary loud noise.
Same with the Incredibles game. Going with Mr.Incredible off the island of the villain... suddenly huge mines pop out of nowhere and kill me...
POTCO: After the time of the first Muertos Moon, I was telling my friend Leon about Marceline being villains, and that something dark was on the horizon, repeatedly... at the same time the old Padres del Fuego scary music was playing, and me telling the story completely FREAKED myself out!!!!
Few months after the redesigning of Port Royal, when the songs were changed, this song disappeared. Once when privateering I went with my GM, hiding behind a rock. All music stopped, then suddenly the same old single-instrument PDF music was playing, haunting me again and giving me GOOSEBUMPS like anything
Also repeated thinking of Death Omens (when I hadn't seen one) gave the goosebumps...
Apart from that I believe there were many such "instances" with other games....

I discovered that accidentally - don't know if it still works these days...

In Tomb Raider 1 (my very first play through), I had started the third level, The Lost Valley, it didn't look too hard - just a couple of wolves here and there, right? Not too annoying...
Once I climbed that one wall everyone remembers in The Lost Valley, I picked up the object near the skeleton, and dropped down. I expected a few wolves, but instead got Raptors - that totally came unexpected since, well, dinosaurs are extinct. I finished that one, and the one that comes after that. I then continued moving along, when that one song starts, and then the floor starts shaking - then, the T-Rex appears. First time I saw that, here was my reaction:

"...........What..........?"

In Tomb Raider 2, The Great Wall, I was at the end, reading the strategy guide of course, and went down for the last Secret. That large room made it somewhat obvious that something was coming - and of course, it was the T-Rex...
After that one, I picked up the Secret, and left the little hall - when the SECOND T-Rex appeared. I ran back into the small hall....

Tomb Raider 3's The Crash Site has dinosaurs all over the place - this time I saw the T-Rex coming....

There was also the Tomb Of Qualopec in TR1 - the raptors that come out of nowhere kind of startled me....

Standing in front of a large crowd, reciting a poem I made at Monday Night Story Time with Dread Poet Roberts.

I haven't been that frightened in a long time.

Probably Grand Theft Auto 4, strangely enough... The heart in the Statue of Happiness still haunts me.... P.S. Does anyone else think the theme song to 12 Monkeys is creepy? It always makes me feel antsy...

My scariest moment was in Pirates Online, at the beginning. After sinking the Undead War Sloop I call The Destroyer, I expected Jolly Roger to be a living person, but seeing him as a skeleton was a bit of a surprise, but it was scary when he killed Beck! I thought he was going to do it to me! Did anyone find it scary on their first POTCO Day?

Nope, surprised but not scared.

on lotrrotk for gamecube, Shelob freaked my out, same with Aragog in the HP games. What really scared me in a game was in Akellas old POTC game when I went into town and into a dark tavern when I saw a Goth Chick with pale white face and black clothes, a weird glitch. The second KOTOR was very creepy along with NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer. The scariest thing ever was in a mod for Age of Pirates when I went into a brothel and it began to play a pornographic video. I uninstalled the mod immediately.

Also, what did the old padres music sound like? I know the new one but forget the original.

Alright, I'll admit it. I went on test late at night, to check out Raven's Cove for the first time. I land on the island, and walk into it. I am moving in, when I start hearing a noise that gave me chills, and made the hairs on my neck stand up... the sound of a rage ghost... the first time I heard it was quite distressing and creepy... of course now they don't scare me, but that first time was really freaky.

I thought Raven Cove would be a tropical paradise, but it is a wasteland like Padres.

Ok, when I was really little, I would play the N64 Mario. I could get to Bowser just fine, but whenever I would fight him, I threw the remote at the T.V. and ran away screaming. That was when I was like, 5, and was scared of the dark (I still am o_o).

Another was just recently when I was playing Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2009 and a pack of lions attacked out of nowhere. I shook the wiimote, and the character used the butt of his rifle to hit the lions in the face.

I was playing some MMOG and in a deathmatch, this dude pops out of nowhere, and blasts me twenty feet back with a shotgun. I jumped out of my chair. Also, if I ever decide to play the Half-Life games I would almost certainly be scared witless.
