10 Video Game Moments So Scary You Stopped Playing

8: That’s A Bad Dog - Resident Evil

You didn’t think I was going to write this list and not include one of the most iconic old school horror game moments, did you?

It might be dated in retrospect but the dog leaping through the window in Resident Evil marked one of the most iconic jump-out-of-your-seat moments in what would kick off one of the greatest horror franchises of all time. This scene was classic, even the 2002 movie of the same name recreated it, to great effect I might add. But it was the fixed camera angle horror of walking down hallways totally unsure of what might crop up next and then hearing breaking glass and all of sudden facing off against zombie dogs that let a thousand screams ring out across households around the world. With the absolute speed of the man-eating canines and the complete inability to brace yourself for this one, you’d be forgiven for shutting off the game to get your heart rate back to normal before continuing on.
