11 Unexpected Video Game Jump Scares That Scarred You For Life

9. Mortal Kombat's Krypt Demon

So you've spent hours in Mortal Kombat 9's single player and multiplayer, grinding out against other fighters in the hopes of saving up as many coins as you can, and you finally have enough to have a good stint of retail therapy unlocking as much extra content as you can in the Krypt.

It sounds like a good way to spend an afternoon in theory, but if you do go into the Krypt with enough currency for an extended stay, you'll soon find out that big spenders aren't exactly welcome.

Not only is the place unnerving enough on its own, with the sounds of faint whispers and demonic rustling always in ear-shot, but there's something much more menacing haunting the depth of the flesh pits, and if you linger too long then the demon of the Krypt won't hesitate in making itself known.
