They're also the only 2 giant T-Rexes in the entire game. And you get the Grenade Launcher when you get that secret and the other previous 2 of the level. It's the very first level of Tomb Raider 2 btw. It's insane

I remember getting scared of the t-rex, but that zipline just gave me that weird stomach feeling of falling

Basically every game that u had to deal with underwater huge monster gave me chills.
I also remember half life 1 when u had to dive for something and the water was all dark and muddy and u could get attacked by those fucking fish.

well, Thief isn't really a horror game but it's spooky as a whole, even the first mansion can be somewhat eerie. I think OP meant scary moments in games that are otherwise absolutely not scary

the ending of the ice level is way worse for this, you have three or four of them chasing you through this tight quarters tortuous maze

Oh fuck, that giant eel thing scared the shit out of me. I still haven't gotten most of the stars in that level because I don't like playing it.

giant fucking Dianoga in one level of SOTH

Yeah, that was the sewer level. Those gurgling screams they used to make were fucking terrifying.

Xizor's Palace was after the sewer level, I remember it because the Gladiator Droid was hard as fuck.

Alright so the moon is a giant anthropomorphic face crashing to the earth, it's creepy and probably doesn't need to be posted here because its' such an obvious example. But the real horror in it for me was when it cried. It just made it so pitiful and even more surreal.

I found this pretty terrifying too. The way that you lose your limbs and your senses, it's insane for a kids game.

I know it's not that scary but the sprite mixed with the possessed psychics and the music freaked me out as a kid.

Nothing has ever scared me, NOTHING, not a game, movie or anything, as much as Thief 1 did.
I could not fucking get through Return to the Cathedral the first time as a teen. I ended up slamming escape in panic to exit to the menu a half dozen times and getting up from the computer to calm down. Didn't help that I was playing during a thunderstorm at the time, too. One of my most vividly enjoyable videogame experiences.. I wish I still felt things as strongly as that. ;_;

I know, that's why I posted it. But I came across it online after I beat the game, so I'd already got spoiled what was down there.

fuck him, he still haunts my dreams.

>>3304321
This is perhaps the most fucked up thing in the game, which kind of says a lot

40 fathoms was the scariest level for me

The encounter was much scarier for me because it comes so out of nowhere. This bit always felt sort of pandering and trying to recapture the first game's best moments.

Pic related, though some dispute that it's not a horror game.
>>
>>3304321
Cave of the Past uses a sample of the song Deidre from the Beach Boys, if you think about that it isn't as scary.

Yeah that was probably one of the darker songs on Wish You Were Here.
Also pic related, though I'm not sure if this counts as non-horror because the original Fallouts are really fucking dark

I found it at a Flea Market on a Sega Genesis Cartridge called "William's Arcade Classics."
To my knowledge William's Arcade Classics is on PC and Snes too.
