Short one today, on Gummy Fangs. Candy lip lunch. Gotta run, but here's a discussion topic: scary video games/video game moments. Name some of your faves.
Everytime the SA-X showed up or chased you down in Metroid Fusion. I screamed like a girl. Which I am.

My cousin usually has skull pops at his birthday party that is in early october. I want some of those gummy fangs you could make a lame edible costume with them. My scariest video game moment was when my friends had a Resident Evil themed halloween party and a scanvenger hunt. I couldn’t beleive how scary they made their house look.

Getting the bsd/ black screen of nothing when starting the program. That is some stuff. Btw Rachel Ray is semi hot in a chunky chick way.

I remember I played this brillaint game on sega when I was very young. It was called Slaughterhouse 2 or 3. Looking back on it, it was actually pretty gay, but at the time, I was scared shitless. It involved you being this big muscle guy with a hocky mask ( a clear rip off of both Jason AND Casy Jones) and you go around killing this red demon things in gruesome ways. I don’t know why, but it scared the shit right out of my bum. I wish I could play it again to see how my perspective has changed.

Scariest videogame moment for me? Don’t laugh… Megaman 2.
It was my first time playing through the first Wily stage. I was taking my time, jumping from block to block, thinking about how easy the section was. Just minding my own, not expecting anything major.
Then that giant dragon son of a bitch pops up from out of nowhere, scaring the CRAP out of me. Seriously, that was the last thing I expected and for the next few minutes, I was a shaking mess. For the remainder of the year, I’d always turn on the Flash Stopper during that part so I could get to the end without any surprises.

Chakan: The Forever Man scared the crap out of me as a kid. The black beasts in Out of this World (aka Another World for you folks in Europe) were also pretty freakadelic in the day. I was also creeped out by the German-shouting bosses in Wolfenstein 3D. There’s probably a lot more…

Scariest game would probably be either Resident Evil for it’s shock moments (like shit bursting through windows randomly) or Eternal Darkness. When you were in the mansion in ED, it was such a creepy atmosphere, especially when your "sanity" was low. Had the scariest single moment too, when you look at a bathtub and it zooms in with a freaky scream and there’s a dead girl bathing in blood in it. Then again, RE had Neptune, a giant shark that if you didn’t expect it to show up, you’d suddenly be eaten alive instantly.

Ecco the Dolphin also scared me the first time I ran into the octopus, because I was breaknecking through the water, than BAM! Octopus!

When I first played the Tiny Toons Adventure game for NES, I was rocking. I was socking. I was winning. Then, I enter one of the boss stages, a giant spooky castle with flying pumpkins and rats the size of cars.
It wasn’t really scary, but it always kind of shook me up when you would get jumped without warning by a collection of four ghosts. They always catch my off gaurd, and I don’t think I’ve beat that level yet.

Clock Tower for SNES is pretty scary, especially if you’re like me and only play it at night. Resident Evil had some pretty scary moments, too.

Not unbelievably scary…more like excruciatingly painful, was the stair climbing in the NES Ghostbusters game. There was seemingly no end to the stairs, & no end to those damn yellow ghosts. My fingers were numb for weeks from tapping the A & B buttons repeatedly.

A PS1 game called "D" – it was slow as heck, but kinda creepy.
I agree with the Resident Evil, and Eternal Darkness comments! Omg, the bathtub thing – freak me out! :O
Also, one I haven’t played, but the commercial would freak me out whenever I’d see it – Manhunt.
Soul Reaver 2, when you have to fight the weird electric alien things that pop up out nowhere, and you’re stuck in the room with ‘em until they are dead. Scary.
As for the candy: looks like a cross between wax lips and those chewy fruit snacks that are made with strawberry yogurt.

Towards the end of Bionic Commando for NES there is a slow motion deciption of a the final boss’ head exploding. I couldn’t believe it!!!! I seriously almost pissed my pants back when i was 7 years old. Even now it is somewhat disturbing, I just can’t believe Nintendo allowed Capcom to leave that in the game as well as the word damn being used in the game’s dialogue.

The reverse shot of the gummy fangs is the stuff nightmares are made of.

Scary video game moment: every Silent Hill game ever madde (except for that "graphic novel" Gameboy Advance game that only came out in Japan… that looked pretty pointless.
Of course, Eternal Darkness I LOVE that game.
And the ol’ stand-by, Resident Evil. Everybody say it with me now: when the zombie dogs jumped through the windows in the first game, I damn near soiled myself. ZOIKS!
Oh yeah… those Gummi Fangs kick ass, Matt. Reminds me of those Wax Lips/Fangs I used to get at Halloween (sometimes it was an orange, wax, Halloween-themed "whistle"). I love those, they taste great, and I also love to chew wax. Don’t ask me why. On an unrelated note, I really enjoyed your Spiderman Reviews Crayons articles, Matt O_O
Umm… looking at those Gummi Fangs from the back make me think strange, perverse thoughts…
I have to go to the bathroom now.

Scary moments? Though it wasn’t one of those "Boo"-type scares, the original Megaman had those blocks that would appear and disappear in a very strange pattern over a bottomless pit in the latter half of Dr. Wiley’s castle. While you could watch the pattern through the first 6 or so blocks, you still have another 20 blocks to go way beyond that. So it was entirely trial and error once you moved forward. Lose all of your lives and you went all the way back to the beginning of the castle. Now THAT was scary.

The scary game moment that I keep thinking of is actually BloodeRayne. Towards the middle before you see the non scary people turn into alien things (which was actually sort of funny) , you’d be walking toward a huge door and there would be this voice whispering and then laughing in this creepy way.
As far as computer game, the 11th hour, which I’ll admit probably isn’t that scary and the acting is more sad than anything, but I couldn’t sleep at night when ever I played it.

Aww, I want some vampire teeth! I’ve never seen those. They probably aren’t vegan, though, if they are marshmallow-y.
This reminds me — at work, I saw a HUGE bag of Dum-Dums. I know they aren’t Halloween-y at all, but damn they were so good when I was little – it almost made me wanna spend the 6 bucks and get ‘em. My favorite was Pineapple.

I wouldn’t exactly classify it as "spooky", but, in the much maligned Sonic Adventure 2 on the Sega Dreamcast (which I thought was pretty much as good as the first Sonic Adventure), one of the Knuckles level is "Pumpkin Hill", and that level gets the Hallowe’en atmosphere just perfect, with leering pumpkin mountains and a ghost train. And the best song in the entire fricking game.
My favourite monster-related videogame of all-time, though, is still Ghouls n’ Ghosts on the Sega Genesis, especially for the harpsichord music.

Playing through Rainbow Road in the original Super Mario Kart is always quite a harrowing experience. Less so in later incarnations of the series, though the one in Double Dash!! certainly has its moments.
