10 Most Terrifying Stalkers In Horror Video Games

10. Scissorman - Clock Tower (SNES) And Clock Tower (PS1)

In an ideal world, Scissorman would need no introduction, but sadly the Clock Tower series has fallen into obscurity in the modern era.

The grandaddy of all the stalkers on the list, Scissorman has been making gamers soil their undies since the SNES days, and whilst his comical walking animations and irritating scissor-snapping sound effects may seem a tad quaint by today's standards, there's no denying that he's a top tier slasher villain worthy of respect.

The primary antagonist of the first two Clock Tower games, Scissorman makes it his mission to hunt you down and give you a damn good shearing by any means necessary. He has a penchant for bursting out of nearby cupboards and wardrobes, completely taking the player off-guard and forcing them into tense chase sequences that really put the pressure on you.

It is possible to slow him down via the use of environmental means and makeshift weaponry, but these things are often single-use and not all of them are one-hundred percent effective.

Despite being absent in the modern gaming landscape, the Clock Tower series still has a loyal fan base that lives in hope that one day they can be hunted down by Scissorman once again.
