It's Halloween, let's post spooky things from games!

Karazhan Crypts - or more specifically, the Upside-Down Sinners.
Basically, beneath the tower of Karazhan, there's this dungeon they put into the game but never used. You could clip through walls with certain items to get into the entrance of the Crypts - but the most peculiar thing about it was that there are a TON of corpses, impaled on hooks attached to chains, floating in the water in the crypts. There's also tons of corpses lying around, and gigantic piles of bones.
Here's some Kara music for added spookiness.

Dude, this always creeped me out hard core. WoW had a knack for surprise creepy. The undead stuff? Not scary. Satanic Goldshire Children? Maximum Spooky.Karazhan Crypts - or more specifically, the Upside-Down Sinners.

Don't forget the nursery in Nagrand where the owner was actually eating the children.
Or the fact that Gnoll tents are literally made from the skin of their victims
Gigas the final boss in Earthbound is represented by a moving background instead of a sprite. Over the course of the fights phases the background changes as Gigyas becomes more damaged, and less under control. (Warning, flashing colors)
Walking Towards the battle
Miniboss Before Final Battle
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
I really like how in Dragon Ball Super they referenced this by
having Zamasu turn into this after his body was destroyed
Can't a monkey man slap his meat in peace?
NLF 2 (stolen from reddit)
How dare you.Who could forget gaming's most icon horror duo?
(MLB The Show glitch)
I accidentally triggered this easter egg while playing Doom 3 and it still haunts me to this day.

Drowning in Sonic always sent me into panic mode to the point where just being underwater unsettled me to no end.
Now then, have you ever wondered what would happen if you concentrated all the ingrained childhood trauma of having a jingle hammer into your ears as a result of that and replicated it onto an indestructible one hit KO inflicting enemy that slowly chased you around your location?
Screw. These. Things.
Do you see how that description says they're made of concentrated trauma? Yeah. Not joking.
And that's not even getting into the fact that we know that enemies from the same faction this thing comes from can be made from the melted together amalgamations of souls. And I mean, it's got tons of smaller disfigured skulls spilling out of it's mouth every time it opens it. Oh, so it might be trauma and the tortured souls of the dead. OK then.
Doo dee doo dee doo doo doo
Doo dee doo dee doo doo doo
Doo dee doo dee doo doo doo

Hey guys, great pictures, but can you also post the name of the game the pictures came from as well?
I remember when this was the most impressive thing I'd ever seen in a game.
Dead Space 2 is a masterpiece.
Yeah, the fact that it managed to domino pile Ornes into a trauma point just by parallels hammers it in.
Ugh... The music when you're about to run out of air was terrifying for me as a child.
Even now I turn the volume off and run with my tail tucked between my legs to the highest route I can find on these kinds of levels.
All it takes is a freaking jingle and some urgency and you can make nearly any threat of death terrifying.
