The Resident Evil franchise is one of most terrifying and haunting franchises in gaming
history.
Don’t fight me on that.
It’s true.
From jump scares, to abominations, to hulking beasts, to man’s best friend wanting to
tear out your jugular -- there are so many defining moments that still resonate with
horror fans today-- so we’re going to be listing off some of the scariest moments,
with our list of the Top 10 Scariest Moments In Resident Evil.
Let’s jump in.
10 The Keeper’s Diary Now, surprisingly, one of the scariest moments
in the franchise, wasn’t a jump scare, or a creepy boss, or even a psychotic family
hellbent on hunting you down and eating you.
No, it’s a diary that can be found in the original Resident Evil Game.
In one particular moment, you come across The Keeper’s Journal, which documents the
effects of the t-virus infection written by someone going through it.
It’s slightly heartbreaking -- but what really sent chills down many players backs,
were the last two words.
It simply ends, “Itchy.
Tasty.”
9 William Birkins Transformation One of the most disturbing villainous transformations
came from Resident Evil 2.
The antagonist of the game, William Birkin, infects himself with the G-Virus, in order
to give himself super powers -- but as we know, that never ends well.
The virus causes a grim mutation -- a giant eyeball grows out of his arm, before everything
goes to shit and he turns into an unsightly abomination.
8 The Executioner Now -- I’ve considered the fact that The
Executioner was just a mini-boss in Resident Evil 5 -- but regardless, he terrified me.
Any creature donning a black hood and wielding an obscenely large weapon that could obliterate
you with one blow is not my cup of tea.
Not only that, but the entire boss battle is what nightmares are made of -- hoards of
zombies coming at you, while the sound of a giant rusty axe dragging across the grounds
gets closer and closer.
7 The Licker It’s no surprise that the game that first
introduced Leon Kennedy would have one of the most terrifying moments in the franchise.
Meet The Licker.
Yep, it’s a creature that RE fans aren’t quick to forget.
As you navigate the halls of the police department you come across the slow dripping of blood
-- and once you look up -- it’s not a sight that you’ll soon forget.
The Licker suspended upside down on the ceiling -- yeah -- horrifying.
If it’s any consolation, he’s not that hard to defeat.
6 Hellhounds So, if Resident Evil 4 wasn’t scary enough
already -- enter the Hellhounds, or Fangs as they’re also known.
If you take too long completing one of the hedge mazes, these little fuckers will come
for you.
Yeah.
Not only are they wicked fast --but they’re just nasty and will try to tear out your jugular.
5 Patient 0 We’re jumping back to the original Resident
Evil for this number, with arguably one of the most terrifying moments in the entire
game.
Patient 0.
Need I say more?
Patient 0 is the very first zombie in Racoon City -- and when you finally encounter him
-- it’s not only terrifying, but also eerie and chilling.
It proves that sometimes jump scares aren’t the only way to induce a fright -- and that
a slow linger is almost just as effective.
4 Lisa Trevor Lisa Trevor was human test subject for the
Umbrella Corporation, and once they were done with her, she was not left in the best state,
that’s for sure.
She’s horribly disfigured, but not only that, she has killed a whole bunch of people,
ripping off their faces in the process and wearing them leatherface style.
It’s horrifying.
What’s worse is that in 2002 the game was remastered, and Lisa is back.
Worse than ever.
3 Nemesis Resident Evil 3 is arguably one of the most
terrifying games of all time, for one reason and one reason alone.
Nemesis.
That’s right.
The antagonist of the game was one of the most chilling monsters the series has ever
created.
He’s a hulking beast who bursts through walls at any given moment -- taking you completely
by surprise.
2 The Dogs What is it with Resident Evil and dogs -- please,
stop, they’re absolutely terrifying, and there’s only so many times I can shit myself
waiting for these suckers to appear.
This particular moments comes, once again, from the original Resident Evil game -- and
it’s arguably one of the most defining moments in the entire franchise.
The Dogs was the first jump scare of the game, and as you would expect, no one saw it coming.
You’re walking down an empty hallway, and then out of nowhere a very bad boy jumps through
the window and begins chasing after you.
Then to top it off another one comes jumping through the window as well.
The entire thing physically hurts me and is deeply upsetting.
1 Iron Maiden We’re heading back to Resident Evil 4 with
this numbers -- cos honestly, that game had some of the most disturbing creatures in gaming
history.
I’m shook.
The most terrifying by far, however, was Iron Maiden.
Yep -- these creatures were covered head-to-toe in rusty nails and were virtually indestructible
-- considering they had the ability to regenerate damaged limbs.I mean, is there anything worse
than being impaled by a dozen rusty nails?
No, I didn’t think so.
Well, there we have it!
