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.
Those things are perfect to hand out on Halloween. Must find Gummy Fangs. We’d be the most popular house in the complex.

2nd time poster – premiere authority on 80′s cartoons and horror movies — new games can be scary like the suffering and manhunt and silent hill — but back when things were simple it was hard to be scary – so SPLATTERHOUSE 3 for genesis takes the cake. parts 1 and 2 were cool, but 3 was absurd. Beat the clock or your wife is killed by maggots. After saving her or letting her die – its your 5 year old son! beat the clock or he gets the axe! and worse yet, your hockey mask sits there and tells you to get angry and kill kill kill! then if you beat the boards to fast you went to Level X and level X just really meant "Hell". In fact, first time i was in level X I had to pause the game and go downstairs and kill my cat and eat its heart! F U Splatterhouse 3!

Scariest game I’ve ever played would have to Aliens vs Predator 2. There are so many moments that build up the suspence and then deliver the goods. Anyone who’s played the game knows what I’m talking about.
You never know when or where an Alien might pop out and the deeps from your motion tracker will get your heart racing every time.

Gummy fangs? I am not interested. Gummy Hillbilly teeth, maybe.

Interestingly, I had gummy fangs around my neck of the woods, but they were only the top set of teeth/gums as opposed to the "full mouth" variety as seen in the article.
They were quite useful for sticking in front of one’s own teeth/gums, although the scale was a tad off. The gummy fangs were roughly the size of baby teeth.
Also of note: I seem to remember the gummy fangs in my area were sold by a local candy retailer at times that weren’t halloween, meaning that we could access gummy fang goodness throughout the year.

I always got scared playing Friday the 13th. You are just walking around and then Bam! Jason! I still hated being stuck with that slow kid when Jason started killing kids in the cabin on the lake.

Splatterhouse, not Slaughterhouse.

People have already mentioned Eternal Darkness (one of my favorite games from the current consoles), so I’ll try to throw something new into the equation and mention the NES classic "Monster Party"!

Are you implying with the multi purpose teeth that the could be used as say…..gummi lady no-no parts?

I found the original "Silent Hill" game very creepy, and of course, there is no contest for the horror genre video games if you take a look at the revamped "Resident Evil".

Scariest game moment was in M.G.S when
Psyco mantis invaded maryl’s mind and she shot at snake (mantis was creepy as hell).

Creepy Game: Silent Hill for the PSOne. If you play this game with the lights out, on surround sound, it will spook the shit out of you.
Creepiest Moment in a Game: The old-school NES game, Faxanadu. On one of the levels, this huge friggin’ white sperm-looking creature pops out of the ground, with fanged teeth, and he was a real bitch to beat. Nothin’ more frightening than a giant, man-eating pile of sperm attacking you.

Scariest Game? Silent Hill 2. Good atmosphere, excellent soundtrack. Playing alone is a must.
Scariest moment in a game? Playing Ghouls n’ Ghosts and realizing that you’ve used 5 hours of your life to get to an ending that doesn’t exist…AND YOU’LL NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN!!!
this site is awesome. and that is all i have to say for the time being.

Silent Hill 2 being played for the first time at 4:00am by two girls who just spend the previous 6 hour scaring themselves silly with horror movies in a small room in incredibly dark basement.
Yep, we were pretty S-M-R-T!

Slacker, there is an end to Ghouls n’ Ghosts… you just have to defeat the final boss with the right weapon. Can’t remember what it is and the other ending is just as pointless, though.
The only time a video game has ever scared me was when I was only 5 years old or so and I was playing Super Mario World. For some reason the game glitched up pretty badly and not only did some of the graphics mess up but I got Mario stuck in a brick. I freaked out but I havn’t been able to do it since.

Man, I can’t believe nobody’s mentioned System Shock 2. I was never that creeped out by the Resident Evil games, largely because of the 3rd person view. But in SS, the alien zombies are screaming wierd shit in their polyphonic death rattle voices and coming directly for your FACE, mister.
Man, I loved that game.

The end of Metroid and Super Metroid, jumping up the shafts and you miss a step. Rrrreeaallllyyy scary the first couple of times you mess up, but later you spend your last moments cursing like a Reservoir Dog at your console.
Creepiest moment is either playing most of the Castlevainia games or when you first use the main entrance to Norfair in Super Metroid. That plodding "Welcome to Hell" march that swells up as you drop down in the elevator.
Skull Pops are some of my most favorite of the recent Hallowe’en treats. I just saw Gummy teeth at a local mini-mart, but they were hillbilly-style, not fangs. Gotta get me some fangs.

I agree, Rachel Ray is hot…maybe you didn’t see the FHM Photo shoot she did…Yowzers! Of course, the fact she is on food network helps…when you’re competition is Julia Child, you’re pretty much on easy street. Unless you’re into that sort of thing.

Good scary games:
Illbleed (Sega Dreamcast) – Illbleed allows you to explore a "horror theme park", where you enter into several different horrible environments. You start in a haunted hotel, being chased by various creatures and ultimately running away through endless hallways from a hideously disfigured pyromaniac, then shift to gruesome places like a park infested with giant worms and rabid cannibal monkeys, the department store from hell, and something that could be called "Toy Story meets Hell House". Excellent Halloween game!
Another excellent scary game: Fatal Frame. Creepy as hell while you’re moving the story along, but if you get lost or start to backtrack, the ghosts become unbelievably brutal. Keeps you completely unnerved throughout.
Silent Hill 3 is harder than SH2, but is just as creepy, if not as introspective as SH2. If you liked SH1 on the PS, you’ll like SH3.

Slacker and Anarchic Casualty: Yes, Ghouls and Ghosts had an http://www.geocities.com/theghoulrealm3/gng2.html">ending. There was the Arthur sprite standing below a couple of screens of yellow text, and then they showed scenes from the game, Princess Prin Prin running to Arthur, and a shot with Arthur holding Princess Prin Prin looking towards some sort of apparition of Loki in the sky and the words "The End".
Then you had to play again, I think.
I loved that ending music.
Anyway, it was the late 80s when games didn’t have too elaborate endings.

Ok, don’t laugh, but the "Tomb Raider" series is about as scary as I can stand. Don’t get me wrong; I love that series, but I hate having things jump out at me and try to kill me. I’m still trying to live down the time when my friend and I hadn’t encountered any bad thing in the game for some time and all was quiet and relatively peaceful, and then this mummy/cat thing launched itself out of nowhere and started trying to eat Lara, and I shrieked and threw the controller at the TV and my friend laughed so hard she couldn’t pick up the joystick and Lara ended up dying.

The scariest game i’ve ever played was sim ant for snes. I remember there was this thing were they indicated that your ant was weak by showing his head get 100 sizes too big, look at you and make a weird noise. I saw it a couple of times and then threw the controller down and didn’t play my snes for a couple of years. Sim Ant was the only 5 day rental I ever returned in 2.
My brother was scared shitless by some of the music in Castlevania when he was about 5 or 6. Years later, my brother and I would play Resident Evil in the dark, and then we would both shit our pants.
