welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 20
jump scares in video games
for this list we're looking at various
moments in games that had us hopping out
of our seats at breakneck speed in case
you haven't played any of these games
here's your spoiler warning which of
these jump scares gave you a new pair of
brown pants cower with us in the
comments below
number 20 crypt creature mortal kombat
the crypt an eerie setting to reap your
rewards from all those brawls and
fatalities before the newer games the
crypt was nothing more than a grim place
to spend your coins and discover a
wealth of goodies that all changed in
the 2011 reboot while you explore the
crypt here you'll hear something
constantly running around standing still
for a little bit might reveal the
culprit though this kind of jump scare
would become more integral to the crypt
and serve as a mechanic for additional
rewards in mk 10 and mk 11.
number 19. found before page 8 slender
the 8 pages
the character of slenderman may have
lost some of its relevance in recent
years but it's still worth talking about
the eight pages simply because of how it
took the internet by storm throughout
the game slenderman would stalk you and
disappear at random intervals get too
close or take too long to find the next
page and it's simple haunting and will
stay ingrained in your brain long after
your first playthrough
number 18 anything but silent bioshock
infinite
[Applause]
bioshock has never really been much of a
horror series but that isn't to say the
games haven't had some scary moments of
their own take the boy of silence for
example care to take a guess why he's
called that
oh jesus
yeah he's anything but silent and every
freaking time he shows up it's like
hearing our alarms amplified to the nth
degree
just another facet of colombia we're
glad to never return to again
okay
you don't have to talk
number 17 that one autopsy the evil
within
what else can you expect from a game
directed by the creator of resident evil
it wasn't enough to have psychopaths
chase us or have us traverse through
grotesque environments no let's have the
player perform an autopsy and just to
spice things up let's give them a lovely
surprise when they're digging in there
we never thought a jump scare could come
out of a situation this disgusting and
we love everything about it
[Applause]
number 16 the broken neck lady fatal
frame 2 crimson butterfly
as if it wasn't bad enough for fatal
frame to force us to confront our own
fears head on one of the most ghastly
and shocking moments in crimson
butterfly is meeting the lady with a
broken neck first off she just appears
without any warning then of course you
have the moments of trying to snap her
picture before she grabs you we could
feel our nerves tighten throughout this
entire encounter
number 15 a dentist learning some
personal space bioshock
the enemies of bioshock are not afraid
to get up in your business as we saw
with infinite's boy of silence the first
game on the other hand caught us off
guard in another way while in the
dentist's office you'll enter a room
holding the speedy hacker plasmid pick
this up and turn around to find a new
friend there's no way of telling where
he could have been hiding it's a scare
you're forced to endure
what you're crying
number 14 the bathtub eternal darkness
sanity's requiem
eternal darkness holds a ton of
frightening moments that keep us second
guessing what in the game is part of the
progression and what's just the game
screwing our heads of them all the most
disturbing has to be the bathtub scene
the dark imagery and tone of it all make
it hard to digest and the sudden
screaming doesn't help but good lord
does it make the game even more
memorable
number 13 clever girl
dino crisis are you from the rescue team
uh i
yes yes i am
many refer to dino crisis as resident
evil with dinosaurs but it goes beyond
just the gameplay like its famous
sibling dino crisis comes with its own
moments of terror tell us how many times
have you had a live t-rex suddenly burst
from your wall
after this we'd much rather take our
chances with the velociraptors in all
seriousness though how cool would this
be in a remake
number 12 lockers looking sus
silent hill
we all knew silent hill would show up
here at some point and just an fyi it
won't be the last time it does yes sort
of while silent hill focuses more on
disturbing imagery and creepy
atmospheres it isn't one to shy away
from the occasional jump scare such as
the infamous locker scene sure that
locker of viscera doesn't look too
unsettling but take a couple steps away
and
[Music]
gets us every time
number 11 the trolling glass
prey
enemies can disguise themselves as
regular objects that's all you need to
say to instill fear into us
what made our anxiety worse was when we
got to the puzzle with the green buttons
it's simple and makes us lower our guard
over something so easy until
[Music]
and what does your moment of panic do it
alerts a nearby monster thanks arcane
number 10 say hello to mr tibbetts
condemned criminal origins
the trail just ends at a bank of lockers
condemned is such a mind trip that it
needs to return on modern platforms
criminal origins knows how to maintain
suspense and force players into
uncomfortable situations such as this
one where rosa asks you to get a
close-up of tibbetts corpse yeah that
image conveniently didn't upload
properly huh rosa it's such a troll move
on monolith productions part but we
gotta admit they got us good
number nine you never forget your first
necromorph dead space
what the hell was that have you ever
seen the opening to any of the dead
space games they get intense like 0 to
100 in an instant of course we have to
put a spotlight on the first game
because of how it caught us off guard
when seeing the necromorph assault one
of your crew members all you can think
about is turning and running the terror
gets worse when you see one of them
burst from the wall as you're fleeing
especially when you get a glimpse of
their tendrils from the corner of the
screen
number eight welcome mr wayne to
jurassic park batman arkham city
so what is it
a jump scare in a batman game
sure the arkham games have never been
scary games though there are moments
that catch us off guard every now and
again still arkham city takes the cake
in how it loves you in the quietness of
the museum's entrance no guards to take
down just a simple puzzle with a
cryptographic sequencer right
mr cobblepot after much consideration we
have decided not to endorse your museum
number seven the latter scene
fear
while it may not have the same level of
fame or popularity as other horror
franchises fear is very much an ip that
needs to be resurrected part of the
reason is for incredible scenes such as
the infamous ladder scene the ambience
and isolation really get to you before
this part so you might have wasted a few
bullets upon encountering these two
[Music]
number six evil undead puppers
resident evil
now jill
can you go i'm going with you this is
arguably the most classic and iconic
jump scare on this list anyone who has
played the original or 2002 remake of
the first resident evil never forgets
this moment the narrow corridor the low
noises of spencer mansion the fixed
camera angles it all leads to a jump
scare that has followed us since 1996
stupid dogs it made us look bad
[Music]
number five everyone says hello
five nights at freddy's series
of course when you think of jump scares
and games today five nights at freddy's
is often the go-to example it doesn't
matter which one you play be it one of
the mainline games sister location or
ultimate custom night they're all really
disturbing in their designs the likes of
springtrap baby or even freddy fazbear
himself will follow you long after your
first night
number four any game with michael myers
dead by daylight
every killer in dead by daylight is
terrifying in their own way but michael
myers really makes you live the horror
movie you see players can tell when a
killer is nearby via audio cues this is
known as the terror radius michael
doesn't have a terror radius at all
unless he's equipped with specific
add-ons your only way to know he's near
is by looking around and that's pretty
much your only defense pray he doesn't
get to tier three
[Music]
number three just about every level
until dawn rush of blood
and try your best not to die of course
how else do you scare players besides
getting in their face when they aren't
looking well how about restraining them
on a rickety old roller coaster and
leaving them stranded in total darkness
on occasion while sending psychopaths
after them that's the bread and butter
of rush of blood and while it's not the
follow-up to 2015's until dawn we were
expecting anyone who owns a psvr
needs this game
[Music]
number two you're tearing me apart lisa
pt this brutal killing took place while
the family was gathered at home on a
sunday pt was filled with all sorts of
mysterious and creepy visuals thing is
at some point you realize you're never
in any danger so it becomes okay to take
your time enjoy the macabre setting and
frightening imagery without threat
ponder about the talking baby in the
sink maybe plan out your day tomorrow
good we're done
good lord forgot how much of a heart
attack pt actually was

evil village
[Music]

in ahri village right how could anyone
not remember it after all this is the
house where we get to see the most
disgusting and vile behemoth to ever
grace our screens
what can we say this thing was all over

hands on the game and we have never been
more terrified of the dark before
