^Hehe.
Yes, the Crimson Heads was definitely one for me too.
Being a late blommer to Resident Evil, around three years ago when I played RE4, which was my first Resi Evil, I was freaked out by the Regenerators & Iron Maidens. It was the first time a horror game actually frightened me in any shape or form just from those enemies alone. Shortly after that I played through the rest of the series and found Mr. X (Resi Evil 2 Tyrant) and Nemesis to be other moments in the series which took me by surprise and elicited similar scare moments. Those two gits always turned up when you least suspected it and chased you around everywhere...and soak up all of my bullets
Call of Cthulhu is the one game to give me a real sense of dread throughout, even after getting weapons and fighting back. Just didn't know what the fuck I was against in that game, the creatures really did stay in the shadows in that game watching you nd it freaked me out [there's constant POV camera shots showing it from the monster's eyes]. Aside from that the game gave off such a richly paranoid atmosphere.
Siren: Blood Curse in the hospital playing as the little girl has be the biggest one I've encontered in gaming yet though...holy shit. The elevator and the sight jacking, listening to the whispers of these creatures just freaked me out. Such an incredible understanding of what horror really is from these developers.
Speaking of which, I am having a Resident Evil marathon right now and currently playing RE2, RE3 and RE4. REmake and Code Veronica X will be next. I should get RE0, never played it...really forgot how much I love this series.
