Doom (series)/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

{{work}}{{Darth Wiki}}

* ''[[Doom]]''... Demons everywhere. But maybe turning them into [[Ludicrous Gibs]] is even scarier.

* After Hell invades, go to the bathroom in first part of the game and look in the mirror. A [[Jump Scare]] follows as your face momentarily turns demonic and the camera zooms in on it.

* The scene where bloody baby footsteps appear on the floor, and a ghostly voice implores to "follow me" and "hurry". Eventually, it says "they took my baby", and the screen turns red for a moment as creepy baby cries are heard.

* Less so with the original ''Doom'', but the ''[[Alien (Filmfranchise)|Aliens]]'' custom mod is certainly scary. When you're holding a Pulse Rifle, and there's a dark corridor lit only by a sporadically blinking light, and you hear strange sounds coming from potential corridors in that darkness, willing yourself to press the "forward" key is an exercise in futility.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkMonYgb_i8 This] is a video of a grown man screaming like a little girl while playing the ''Doom 2'' mod ''Ghoul's Forest 3''. ''Ghoul's Forest 2'' and ''3'' are quite possibly the most terrifying mods for ''Doom 2'', for that matter. The entire concept is that you're hunted through a dark forest by giant floating super-fast monstrous heads who pop up unexpectedly and kill you in seconds.

** The backstories of the ghouls are creepy: the [[Big Bad]] Yurei is [[Stringy -Haired Ghost Girl|the ghost]] of a pissed-off girl who was abandoned in the Forbidden Forest. The Creeper is the spirit of a baby, the Sjas was a [[Complete Monster|psychotic]] jester who was executed by the king for a certain joke, the Jitterskull was a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Giant warrior]], Choke was his demented brother who killed himself. Frostbite (who only appears in the multiplayer mod ''[[Ghouls vs. Humans]]'') died of frostbite, so now he can breathe ice and swallow people whole like the Jitterskull.

** The Yurei is an interesting villain, in that she attacks you by making [[Shock Site|disturbing images]] pop up and take the entire screen, with [[Heroic BSOD|predictable results for the player]]. Yes, that's right, a boss who directly assaults the ''[[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|player]]''.

** The mod is made worse with Icy's addon, which adds a clown; a skull that makes the Jitterskull look like a joke; and a Sjas-like mist cloud that is absolutely relentless. These new ghouls use the terrifying creeper scream. There's also a chance that, instead of the Yurei, the final boss will be the entire cadre of ghouls at once.

* The Skulltag ''Armageddon 2'' multiplayer map pack is infamous for the "By Day, By Night" level. It's a map that alternates between day and night. By day? Cheerful demon massacring, upbeat music. By night? The entire map goes dark, the music turns into horrifying loomy ambient, and the monster are... ''different''. And the Eyesores appear. Eyesores are ghouls, just like the ones in ''The Ghoul's Forest''. Imagine a demented, deformed face on spidery legs which runs around like it's on crack, makes weird "kekeke" sounds and can kill you in seconds. And there's an entire crowd of them attacking you all at once.

* The ''Equinox'' mod, at first, might make you do a double-take when you realize such a well-made mod is from the same guy that made the infamous "nuts.wad". Then, about map 13 or so, you infiltrate an alien space ship. It is incredibly dark, very cramped, the music is creepy, and it is ''filled to the brim with Arch-Viles''.
