10 Most Terrifying Horror Game Enemies Of The Generation

2. Laura - The Evil Within

Laura Evil Within
Bethesda Softworks

The Evil Within is a modern classic in the genre. Between it and its sequel there’s all manner of nasty things that go bump in the night and we were spoiled for choice with which horrifying enemy to include.

That said, much like in our video on the creepiest boss designs, we’ve gotta give the edge to Laura. Laura is so much more than a horrifying spider lady who can kill you with a flick of her extra limbs. She has a far deeper purpose in the context of the game as a parallel for Ruvik’s sister seeking revenge for her unjust death. Laura is almost impervious to your bullets, can move at a breakneck speed and lets out chilling shrieks as she pursues you.

Your best staying alive tactic with her is to set her on fire or run for your life. Probably both.
