Month of Horrors: The Creepiest Moments in Video Games Part 5

So, here we are in the final three. This is where we get to the big stuff, the big scares. So, let's get straight into Number 3!

3. Earth Temple (Wind Waker) / Bottom of the Well (Ocarina of Time) / Arbiter's Grounds (Twilight Princess)

So, the reason I chose to put all of these dungeons is because all three are very similar to each other. They're all dealing with fighting various kinds of undead, they're all old, decrepit dungeons, they all have the same dark, claustrophobic feeling to them.

So, what makes this type of dungeon so scary? Like I said before, the claustrophobic feeling to them. The feeling that, around any corner, there could be monsters ready to strike, to kill. And, with the Arbiter's Grounds in particular, the idea that people HAVE died there. It was a prison, presumably with executions in it. And, even in the case of the other two, where do you think the undead creatures came from? Especially the worst of the lot, the biggest reason these dungeons are here: Redeads.

No matter what incarnation they are, these monsters never fail to utterly terrify me. That ear-piercing scream, followed by what can only be described as, well....

...Yeah. Not even the cartoony feel of Wind Waker's graphics make that any better. If anything, it might actually be a little worse here. 

So, zombie fun times aside, these dungeons are a lot of fun, they're great, especially for those in need of a good scare.

Well then, with that, we are down to two parts. Be sure to come back tomorrow and Wednesday to find out the top two creepiest moments in video games.
