Another very halloweeny thread from me. The question is simple: What are the scariest things you've seen in a game that was not in any way a horror game?
I have two that I can remember off the top of my head. Max Payne's nightmare in Max Payne 2 is one, and I remember that I really, REALLY, did not want to play through the bloody hallways of a disoriented nightmare hospital. The second one is probably the most common one for anyone who has ever played the original Pokémon games, Lavender Town. The music, the atmosphere, the stench of death in the air and on top of that a huge graveyard with some creepy, literal ghosts roaming around. Not something you'd expect from such a happy game.
In fact, Lavender Town theme is now this thread's official tune.
