10 Horror Video Game Moments That Will Scar You For Life

10. SCP-096 - SCP: Containment Breach

Secure. Contain. Protect. Those are the tenets of the SCP Foundation, so when that all goes wrong in Containment Breach, you can sure some horrible monstrosities are roaming loose that you definitely weren't ever meant to encounter. They're not secured, they're not contained, and you're certainly not protected: tasked with making it out of the facility in one piece as they wreak havoc during a security malfunction.

Whilst facing off against the incredibly weird SCP-173 in the opening section is certainly up there, it's SCP-096 (or rather the 'Shy Guy') that takes the crown on this one. Designed to look like every J-horror monster you've seen in your life, this pale, long-limbed, screeching freak will chase after you relentlessly if you catch a glimpse of its face.

The jump scare that comes from thinking you've passed it freely - only to be hunted down when you least expect it - is definitely enough on this one, but considering the endless, terrifying pursuit of a monster that will tear you apart should you witness any small fraction of it, even unknowingly, and this beast is made lastingly creepy.
