quig69 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I know it has been said and also eliminated, but....... ALIEN..... In Space No One Can Hear You Scream(like a little girl)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jounin Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I remeber Alien being scary the first time I saw it, but now that I have seen it 12 times and can recite lines, it is hard to say whether it is actually scary or not. edit: Ignore this, I didn't notice that Alien was out of the running.

Tenebrae Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'd agree with you - it gets to the point where you've seen a film so many times, no matter how long goes between viewings, you know every moment. Night of the Living Dead is a good film. Although I believe Romero has said that the probe wasn't necessairily the cause of the resurrected dead, it was merely what people thought was the probable cause. And yes that is a limb... because generally, that kind of unexplained monster appearing type scenario generally just gets lumped in with horror.

ratboy Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'm gonna upload Friday the 13th: The Series as soon as my eMule gets it to me. It'll be interesting how grown-up minds will think about it. ("grown-up refers to biologically' date=' and in no way "behaviorally")[/quote'] I don't know that I'd classify Ft13th-TS as sci-fi, per say. More paranormal/occult. But it was good and creepy. John Carpenter's The Thing has always been one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensl Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Gotta be the original Alien, The only film I had real nightmares about. (I was very young.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S0V13T Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Two games that need obvious nomination: System Shock 2 - all alone on a ship full of a psychotic AI and infested humans. I dare you to not be scared ;) Half Life 2 - We don't go to Ravenholme any more. AH, ZOMBIES! Honourable mention for Thief 3 - as it's not sci-fi but The Cradle is quite terrorful. Oh man, I didn't know that GAMES counted! Not much I can say about System Shock 2, as it definatelly scared the hell out of me, but I'll see your HL2, and raise you a Deus Ex (just for the later levels) and a Alien Vs Predator 2 for the PC, playing the marine campaign. EDIT: You already mentioned the AvP games... so how about The first couple of levels of Doom 3 / Quake 3 before it gets repetitive, and F.E.A.R, instead?

Tenebrae Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 Doom 3 had some good tension... F.E.A.R. was better though. I don't think DX had that many scary bits... the aliens etc just got to be annoying. That and of course, I was the ultimate predator with my uber twinked assault rife. AvP 2 as the Marine was definitely the scariest thing ever. Especially the way the xenomorphs could jump about a 100 feet into the air... they didn't like that exosuit though. Hahaha.

Mav Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 If we're talking games now, I've played two Resident Evil games. The firs, I believe it was, Resident Evil 2. They had ported over to the N64 back around 1999/2000. I rented it, having never played the first one but people recommended it. Anyways I didn't have a lamp on as the sun was out late in the afternoon and it set so it was dark, athat game was scary as hell....Ironically I played Code Veronica not long after but it wasn't as scary. Walkign down the corridors of the mansion and suddenly having stuff jump through windows grabbing you was defecate-your-pants scary. Other than that I've never found a scary science fiction game. You'd think with the way games are these days the arcades would have a really high definition finely-detailed zombie shooter. Toss in special effects you see out of Romero movies with the scare tactics and that would be some scream like a little girl scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 I think F.E.A.R. managed to be scary (or at least unnerving) because it built a lot of suspense and atmosphere... The ending of the game was almost Friday the 13th :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones2097 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 hav to second th resident evil 2 game, that ws the only one that made me jump otta my seat... lol!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exterus Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 The movie Moontrap, perhaps? Granted, I haven't seen it in almost 10 years, but when I did, I found it to be quite chilling. I would love to get my hands on it again, but it's very hard to get a hold of. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
