8 Hilarious Moments In Otherwise Truly Terrifying Horror Video Games

8. The Kitchen Music - Resident Evil: Directors Cut

The original Resident Evil is rightly held up as a true survival horror classic. It's incredibly tight direction and use of fixed camera angles create a sense of claustrophobic dread in nearly every scene. This coupled with enemies that will not take the hint and go down quickly and a scarce lack of ammo makes for a runtime of pure exhilarating terror from start to finish.

Then in comes the voice acting, and yes it's been made mention several times over that this...well wasn't the best. However, it's become entwined with the experience that it's almost cruel to mock it, even if Jill Sandwiches and Master of Lockpicking's aren't the only ham on the menu.

In truth, there's actually a moment that shatters the immersion of fear even more than these cheesy vocal skills and that's found in Resident Evil's Directors Cut Mansion Basement Music. This track is...ungodly in how hilarious it sounds, and while it does possess an attempt at using stacked notes and uncomfortable pacing to try and make the player feel dread, it comes across like something a clown would have as a ringtone.

It might well be one of the most infamously terrible pieces of video game music ever and only serves to remind us all that while the original composer for the game was reportedly deaf, this turns out to be a decades-long ruse and that he had a ghost composer write this and other tracks for him.

Still doesn't explain why this track is so bad when the actual writer could hear though.
