10 Unintentionally Terrifying Video Game Moments

There are plenty of horror video games out there that do a great job of putting the fear of God in you. From Resident Evil to Silent Hill, releases both new and old still have that special concoction of fear and anxiety that makes for the creepiest gaming experiences.
