10 EXACT Moments You Tapped Out Of Horror Games
3. The Falling Woman - Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly
What game has the scariest ghosts? This is a question some might ask, and barring an entry coming later (wink wink), plenty of gamers would answer with an emphatic, Fatal Frame!
This beloved series has plenty of entities that will give you nightmares, but the seminal Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly has arguably the freakiest of them all. You will struggle to survive your encounter with the Falling Woman if you're not brave enough.
The Falling Woman first appears while you are walking down a flight of stairs. A cutscene shows her glaring at you as she plummets headfirst down to the floor. The genius of this moment is that you are now fully aware of what awaits at the bottom of those steps, yet the only way to progress is to go and say hello.
That dread of heading down to her is bad enough, but it gets worse as you have to capture her with your camera, which is a very difficult task. Her twisted form chases you across the room and leaves you in fits of fear.
So, that's a brilliant set-up and payoff, but perhaps so brilliant it scares too many people away.
