Nightmares from the SNES?

[Alpha-Methyl]

Yeah, I said it.  So what? 

But seriously.  I had a dream a few nights ago about a sound I haven't heard in .. years really.  Not sure why it came to me in a dream, but it actually shook me up a bit.   It's probably the creepiest video game noise ever synthesized.  What noise?  It's that damn growling noise from Breath of Fire 2.   The one you hear when the dragons eye is showing at the start of the game, and when you meet Barubary (one of the scariest RPG bosses ever).  It doesn't sound like a growl or anything, its just a low creepy ..groaning?  no...  I don't know what to describe it as.

First time I heard it was when I was pretty young, and I thought it was one of the scariest things I had ever heard, but it's surprising how much it still freaks me out, gives me an eerie feeling.   Go, go listen to it.  And tell me if I'm not right.   I'm pretty sure it emulates properly on ZSNES, so go!  And while you're at it, play the wonderful game.  And love it.

Actually, I love BoF2. It's got a fighting catgirl, heavy-metal-battle-themes, a fighting catgirl, dragons, a fighting catgirl, and a creepy enemy in the form of a Church that's scarily similar to the Catholic church....

I never found that groan disturbing. Now, Lavos' scream? That freaked me out...when I was 14. A fitting noise for when destruction rains from the heavens...

I found the screams from those things in Wind Waker to be pretty shocking.

I was scared shitless by those zombie things in Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Yeah, the ones that jump on your head.

The Deku Babas in OoT scared me away from the game for years.

Clocktower, I shouldn't have played it when I was younger. That sound of his scissors and that nagging feeling that there is a murderer somewhere is still in there. I doubt I'll ever get rid off it.
Sometimes I hear simmilar sounds, like metal agianst metal, when I'm walking home in the evening. I just keep getting paranoid from it.
Didn't help to beat the game some years later though, too many endings where I died during the way.

The sound of the zombie hands from Blood, the sound of the Cultists creaming "MUTHA MUCKKKKKKK" from Blood.  Phantasms when they scream in Blood.  The Splatter House soundtrack as a whole makes me pretty tensed.

Not so bad as far as being 'scary', but rather running around through a mansion and suddenly hearing "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" is horrible XD  Otherwise I've never really played that many survival-horror oriented games.

BOF2's up there in my favourite games of all time list, if only for sentimental value. It was never scary, but I got kinda teary near the end [spoiler]when you return home and that same song is playing in the fields as when you had to go fetch your sister at the beginning. SO BEAUTIFUL.[/spoiler]

I only ever got the ending where you save the dad. Are the other endings better?

Not really--that there was the best ending. The other endings were either the bad ending (monsters take over), or the so-so ending (I can't say what it is; the tags aren't working for me).

The tyrant from Resident Evil. **** I shouldn't have played that game at my young age. I actually thought there lived a Tyrant up on my attic (and a melting ghost with one giant red eye but thats beside the point.) I refused to go up there for years :/

Never feared anything in my life, least of all video games.

I felt the same way about Nemmy in re3

Clocktower is indeed the worse thing ever. Really scary. But there was this Silent Hill (which I don't remember) that was placed in that abandones, bloody-walled sanitarium, with human parts and dirt everywhere that was completely sick, and I never ended it cause I never had the guts to play alone. The producers are sick, seriously. And there was this misterious little girl that showed up here and there, ****ing girl. I can Sincerely understand Monsters S.A. after playing that.

THIS.

When my friend and I played it, we played it in the dark. I was like 10. Game prevented me from sleeping with the lights out for days.
