10 Creepy Video Game Details That Will Give You Chills

5: Fatal Frame - Idle Hands Get Spooked

The Fatal Frame series is already chock full of terrifying foes, chilling circumstances, and encounters sure to get you checking under the bed at night.

But don’t worry, the developers implemented a feature to make sure you couldn’t even put the controller down without getting a new fright.

If you try to give yourself a breather from falling broken neck lady ghosts and tiny twin grudge girl looking ghosts you’ll find yourself thoroughly punished. Leaving the screen idle for five minutes causes disturbing ghostly faces to appear. Depending on the entry you’re playing you might get horrifying flickering demonic visuals, frantic whispering, or disembodied crying. It’s enough to make your skin crawl while you were innocently trying to refresh your drink.

Exceedingly uncool.
