9. Adam the Clown – Dead Rising
Let’s face it: clowns are terrifying enough at the best of times, as you’d agree with me if you’ve ever endured Stephen King’s IT. If Willamette wasn’t bad enough for Frank West, what with all them zombies shambling around, he comes face to face with Adam in Wonderland Plaza. He’s started the ride up to keep the zombies away but doesn’t take too kindly to Frank coming in and trying to shut it off.
He was your stereotypical crazy, killer clown. Freakish laughter, huge painted red smile and goofy hair. Oh, and this guy also loved to juggle chainsaws. His voice in general was just downright creepy, switching manically from crying to a piercing, freakish laughter. Apart from his expertise in chainsaws, he also took a liking to throwing knives at you (as well as balloons with gas in them that stunned). He could breathe fire, too, if you got close enough.
His death wasn’t much better either. After he had been defeated, Adam fell onto his chainsaws while manically laughing whilst blood was just poured out of him. Just to reiterate: I hate clowns.

Admittedly it wasn’t the greatest game (unlike its predecessor), but I always used to get scared when I realised a Big Sister was coming in Bioshock 2 – especially when low on supplies after killing the last Big Daddy…
Oh Lord, Big Sisters were awful. I always had a habit of being low on everything when I fought them!
I always thought the great mighty poo was scary on Conker Live and Reloaded. I’d take zombies over that any day!
Loved playing “The Suffering” – as you said, completely underrated game, along with the follow-up, “Ties That Bind”. Surely due a third outing sometime…
Played the Suffering when I was like 10, scared me half to death!
Good list, forgotten about a couple of these. Giant Chainsaw Man from Res 4 for me, the first time you hear that whirring, only having a pistol and then him drilling that chainsaw into your neck! Man, that was bad when it first happened!
Pyramid Head and Piggsy own this list. They are the two scariest characters I’ve ever played against.
