9. The Special Infected - Left 4 Dead 1 And 2

You genuinely might not have enough time for fear to sink in throughout your time with Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 because you'll instead be screaming to your friends and frantically shoving and shooting away hordes of infected on an adrenaline rush like nothing else.

However, when the game offers up quieter moments, or the AI director has just gone on lunch for a bit, you may well hear rumblings in the dark that you really wish you hadn't. From the sickening chokes of a Smoker through to the predatory hisses of a Hunter, the Special Infected are here to make your life a misery, and the telltale audio cue of their arrival is sure to send shivers down your spine and a scream of terror rise from your gullet.

Yet it's likely to be a short-lived yelp as these top tier terrors will pounce from the dark, spew sick all over you after hiding around a corner or even just burst through a wall in order to absolutely batter you. Whoever or whatever it is that's doling out the pain, you can be sure that it's going to cause your entire party to collapse in overwhelming terror each and every time.
