13. Call of Duty 4 Aftermath (25 points)
Nominated by: trdl23

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkAI7nuK_J4

Importance: 6.5
Fear: 8.5
Snake: 10

This is a very pivotal moment in 7th generation gaming. It brought horrifying spectacle to the AAA gaming scene, a moment that many games would take inspiration from to create their own shocking moments that everyone would talk about online and around the world. Even the Call of Duty series would have dedicated missions to shocking the player, like No Russian in MW2 and the London bombing that kills a family in MW3. Aftermath is the most successful to me though, for one large reason. It's more than just shock value. It plays a huge role in the game's theme, permanently killing off one of the main playable characters and marking it as both a permanent failure for both the Marines in the game and the player as participant. This is one of the game's darkest ways of deriding and condemning war. Against the backdrop of a mushroom cloud, with hallucinatory cries of children's laughter echoing against the ruined city landscape, Sgt. Paul Jackson becomes just another name lost in senseless destruction. That's perhaps the scariest thought of all. After all, the mission is called Aftermath. As Jackson climbs out of his ruined helicopter, surrounded by your teammates and a soldier you risked your life to save for nothing, the damage has already been done. The sight of the mushroom cloud is chilling, but nothing compares to the names compiled on the KIA list the game shows you after the mission. Your apparent heroism, your accomplishments as a player, it's all wiped away. Aftermath was a twist like no other, and still remains a great moment in gaming to this day.

Aftermath was a great milestone in FPS history. I'm surprised it doesn't get more attention.

12. Stephen King books (26 points)
Nominated by: Corrik
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_King_bibliography

Importance: 10
Fear: 8
Snake: 8

I don't think there's a more famous or recognizable name in horror than Stephen King. With 54 novels under his belt, over 200 short stories, and 92 films and miniseries adapted from his work (with the number set to grow), King has saturated the horror novel market with a presence unlike any other, constantly topping best seller lists and having many acclaimed books and short stories that people hold in high regard. King is well-known for writing lengthy books with an unfiltered lens, with social commentary, everyman protagonists, and adolescent themes often at the forefront of his books. For all the praise he gets, there will always be someone who derides his work. As beloved as the book IT is for example, I've seen many criticisms on both the length and some of the more out-there portions of the book regarding It's origins. I've enjoyed many King books; my personal favorite book of all time is The Stand. He's a very accessible writer and it's easy to get sucked into his books. They create interesting and plausible scenarios amongst even the most creative concepts, due to strong details and multi-faceted characters. He writes across many genres with ease but there's always some trace of horror in his stories. King will continue to scare the nation with every book he publishes, and I have no doubt he'll be remembered as both a great novelist and one of the most influential voices in horror history.

11. Jason Voorhees (26 points)
Nominated by: Anagram

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeBvL_u1Mwk

Importance: 10
Fear: 7
Snake: 9

One of the three titans of horror with Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger, I actually think Jason Voorhees is the slasher with the most pull in terms of icons; if not, he's at least level with Myers, and easily holds Freddy's severed head in his hands. He's one of only three fictional characters to have an MTV Lifetime Achievement Award after all. His classic-style hockey mask is instantly recognizable to anyone with just a little knowledge of pop culture to the point of synonymity. He's famous for films he's barely in (Friday the 13th), has made more cameo appearances across all mediums of pop culture than any other horror icon, and has one of the highest body counts in horror history. He's a villain capable of being frightening with a dose of humor added in, and even has elements of humanity that separate him from the unstoppable forces of Myers and Krueger. He's a mommy's boy at heart, a child who grew up hating the humanity that led to his mother's death. Many actors who have portrayed Jason state as much, even going so far as to say Jason's moral code includes sparing kids and animals. This is one of the most important aspects of Jason. He's basically a blank slate that viewers can project themselves onto; think along the lines of a more murderous, violent Link. He can appear to you as a basic predator killing for the fun of it, or someone more psychologically disturbed as the result of a horrible childhood, or course there's the aspect of cathartic joy you get from Jason's kills. In short, there's a lot more to Jason than may initially meet the eye, and I think that's the primary reason Jason is as famous as he is.

Jason's deeper than he appears, but he's sadly the least interesting of the three major slashers. I also don't know if his appearance in the first movie even really counts.

I'd argue that's a reason he shouldn't be rated that highly as a slasher icon. The first film is good in its own right - the twist of his mom being the killer, and his classic end scare - but he only became an icon after the studio churned out countless, often indistinguishable sequels. At least Freddy, Michael and Leatherface established themselves in their franchise's debut. That's why Norman Bates and Leatherface are probably my 2 favorite slasher villains - they're very bizarre and macabre, and leave a lasting impression in the first (best) installment.

anyway, Top 10 hype

That's definitely a good point. Add to that fact Jason didn't get his iconic look until the 3rd film in. Still, it's admirable that he persists still. You can't keep a good slasher down.

10. Capgras Delusion (26.5 points)
Nominated by: jcgamer107
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capgras_delusion

Importance: 8
Fear: 9.5
Snake: 9

Imagine waking up one morning, and seeing your mom, or brother, or even your beloved dog or cat. It's just like any other day, except something is off. In your mind, the person you knew and loved is not them. They've been replaced. You become scared and frightened of them, becoming completely untrusting towards them to the point of needing protection or calling the cops on them. For some people with schizophrenia, a brain injury, or dementia, this is an all too-real possibility. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like for somebody going through this, to be with someone you were formerly close to and who knows nearly everything about you while you become drenched with paranoia over apparent trickery and evil deception. On the flipside, the person on the receiving end of Capgras delusion will feel a sense of fear and concern and can certainly damage their emotions as well. It's a chilling scenario to imagine, and it's not as rare as you may think. Still, it's interesting to read up on the psychology behind it, and even some stories sound straight out of a horror film. It's certainly a complex issue, and one that still requires plenty of studying and more new information to be truly able to conquer and cure it.
---

Maybe that's what started the myths of changelings.
---

The Thing (1982) is probably the best film example of this fear, but there's lots of good ones (the 70's Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Stepford Wives). And yeah, if you read about real-life examples of this on wikipedia or wherever, it's pretty scary.

9. Samara Morgan (26.5 points)
Nominated by: V_charon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw70E71G8Z8

Importance: 8
Fear: 9.5
Snake: 9

Along with Candyman and Pennywise the Dancing Clown, Samara Morgan was one of my biggest fears as a kid. Her unnatural movements and abilities shook me to the core. Older now, I still find her pretty scary, but I also better understand the tragedy surrounding her character now. From her birth, Samara was tortured and abused by her parents, especially her bastard of her father. When she was transferred over to foster care, Samara unwillingly tortured her new parents with psychic abilities, driving her foster mother to insanity. Samara was locked away in a barn and even a psychiatric hospital couldn't help her. Her foster mother eventually cracked and threw her down in a well, where Samara lasted for seven days before succumbing to her death. However, Samara lives on through a cursed videotape, inflicting death on anyone who watches it after seven days are up. Despite her apparent malicious intents and hatred for humanity, Samara merely seeks a mother's love again, showing that beneath her terrifying exterior, she's still an innocent little girl at heart. With this backstory in mind, Samara's actions become a lot more impact in both fear factor and the sympathy department.

Samara has been one of the defining characters in popularizing the common J-horror vengeful ghost for Western audiences, along with The Grudge's Kayako. From a pure visual stand-point, Samara is instantly unsettling, and The Ring does an incredible job in crafting horror scenes through unique and memorable imagery with Samara as their strong centerpiece. Samara crawling out from a TV set, dripping wet and appearing ragged with long hair and dirty white dress, is burned into my mind and one of my absolute favorite horror scenes of all time. It's creative and a good use of the viewer/fiction relationship. What if Samara could crawl out of your TV set next? Maybe you'll jump at the first phone call you get after watching the movie. Maybe it sounds silly and unrational, but it worked on me as a kid and I wouldn't be surprised if there were others out there with the same experience.

Samara's mix of tragedy and terror is one that has gripped American audiences since The Ring was released. She's still a vital part of western horror and character with similar design will always be compared to Samara. Whether she terrifies you, makes you feel bad for her, or hey, maybe even brings you some sort of amusement, Samara's curse will live on in one form or another.

Evil little girl ghosts are great.

Scariest horror villain ever from my favorite horror movie ever. I still have dreams related to her and the movie about once a month.

Was she? I mean, you can say she was neglected by being relegated to the barn, but I wouldn't say they "tortured" her, except inadvertently when she was left in the well alive. I'd say they were more trying to contain the damage she was doing.
---

I meant her real parents, wasn't Samara nearly drowned alive by her real mother shortly after birth?
---

Ohhhhhhhh - yes. However, it's never made clear who her biological father is - it's implied he/it's otherworldly. A water demon or spirit of some kind.
---

Rings suggests it was Burke and Samara was merely possessed by the water demon.

Rings isn't canon lol

8. Silent Hill 3 (26.5 points)
Nominated by: v_charon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz3ufaZCoVw

Importance: 7
Fear: 9.5
Snake: 10

Too often overlooked by gamers and overshadowed by it's predecessor, Silent Hill 3 is just as artful, terrifying, devious, and masterfully detailed as Team Silent's previous efforts. In fact, it does some things even better than Silent Hill 2 does them, and that's a tall order. Silent Hill 3 returns back to series roots after the more stand-alone SH2, focusing on the malicious cult The Order and their attempts to make protagonist Heather Mason (last seen reincarnated as a baby Alessa) feel hatred and anger in order to birth the God they believe in. Compared to the deeply personal plot of Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3 appears grander and presents more stakes, but Heather is definitely the most well-realized character of the series and the story is just as personal. She's a far cry from the stoic everyman Harry Mason and the socially awkward James Sunderland. Heather gives us a younger perspective on being trapped in the town; she has typical teenage attitude and spunk, but also shows plenty of fear, confusion, and vulnerability to the dangers of the town. Initially anyway, Heather isn't really suffering from trauma or loss, and the game portrays a character getting acclimatized to this new twisted reality of strange monsters in a realistic manner. Heather is also well-characterized by her relationship to the ensemble cast of characters. She finds a father figure in the private investigator Douglas Cartland, a character who could've been himself a Silent Hill protagonist in any other game with the loss of his son. Claudia Wolf, the game's main antagonist, has a sisterly relationship towards Heather due to having a close relationship with Alessa when they were young, but Heather refuses to return the favor, and their arguments are some of the most powerful scenes in the game. Heather finds a sarcastic counterpart in Vincent Smith, a more reasonable member of the Order who straddles the line between ally and opponent whilst holding a conflicting view on God compared to the fanatical and zealous Claudia. Finally, despite not sharing any screen time really, Heather's love and relationship to her father is one of her defining aspects, so much so that her father's death at the hands of Claudia brought me to tears. Silent Hill 3 understands most of all how important character is at the center of the series. Each game brings a unique cast that's memorable and themed in their own ways, but the characters of SH3 always stand-out the most to me thanks to colorful, realistic personalities without being bogged down by only one type of trauma or one particular character trait.

Silent Hill 3 brings in a little more action to the series, with a larger variety of weapons to use and increased enemy counts in certain areas. Now, this still isn't Resident Evil 4 level of change, but it is a bit harder to feel afraid when carrying an awesome katana or SMG around with you. SH3 makes up for this though with great level design, tiny moments that will no doubt scare the crap out of you, and my favorite video game soundtrack of all time. Silent Hill has always been aces when it comes to atmosphere, and Silent Hill 3 continues to up the ante with a refreshing variety of locales. Just as you start to get tired of the Mall of America setting, the game shifts to a tense creeping through a quiet subway, and then an office building with a variety of businesses. Each location gives you something to remember it by; a near-fatal ghost encounter can be had in the subway, a piercing scream in Store Front Poseables will definitely make you change your pants, and later on, the game even takes you through a haunted house attraction that feels really unique.
---

The devil is in the details always. The game can make an innocent looking room with no enemies, a giant mirror, and sink become the scariest thing you've ever encountered in your life. The game gets more character mileage out of Heather remarking about a barbecued dog than other games do with entire scripts and bombastic cutscenes. The game takes time to develop a character that's never even seen, a hospital patient with a crush stalking Heather through Brookhaven. He makes his presence feel known despite his physical absence and his arc is a little touch of creepy and poignant. You would never think a file-only character can be a character you say you like a lot. The game has some of the most devious puzzles you'll ever find in gaming; make sure you pack your Shakespeare knowledge if you're planning to play this on hard puzzle difficulty. How can you not love a game with the guts to make that an actual thing you need to learn and know?

I understand why SH3 often gets overlooked. Silent Hill 2 is a perfect game after all, a game so in-tune with all elements of its design that it almost can't be topped by anything. Silent Hill 3 is often criticized for not changing the gameplay enough, its short length, for playing it too safe. In my eyes though, Silent Hill 3 is every bit as perfect as Silent Hill 2. It's at some points scarier, has stronger characters, and the same excellent attention to every minor detail of the world. The best way I can sum up SH3 is as a different side of the same coin, expanding on what SH2 did right whilst adding some personality of its own for that unique horror experience that Silent Hill fans crave.
---

The first time I watched The Ring, I thought it was a Mystery movie. Seriously. I watched it with my family in a hotel room with the exact same mirror right beside the TV. I chose the movie because the synopsis was not at all horror.

I was scarred. Real bad.

7. The Last of Us (26.5 points)
Nominated by: SlantedSilver

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQWD5W3fpPM

Importance: 9
Fear: 7.5
Snake: 10

A landmark title that made the waves in the gaming community, it was considered a new benchmark in mature video game storytelling and character development. It reminds me a lot of horror/post-apocalyptic dramas like this year's It Comes at Night, The Road, Carriers, or The Crazies, though I think The Last of Us is more well done than any of those movies.

The Last of Us, right out of the gate, comes swinging hard. We meet Joel, our main protagonist, a single father who comes home late on his birthday, with his daughter waiting up for him. The game quickly establishes their close relationship, so when things quickly start going south, things feel tense when you start playing as Joel's daughter and you can't find your father anywhere. A car ride paints the picture that the world will never be the same, and at the end of the prologue, the game immediately makes you feel sadness over a loss of life.

It's a perfect tone-setter for the rest of the game. 20 years later, Joel is still surviving the fungal apocalypse, with his smuggling partner Tess. Hardened and toughened over the years, the Joel we play as is experienced yet still vulnerable. When tasked with escorting the young girl Ellie to a safe zone, Joel again is faced with having a young girl to protect and care for in his life, challenging his character. Joel & Ellie's relationship grows organically throughout the game, as they grow closer and closer together, especially after Joel is forced to abandon Tess after she is bitten.

Despite being an unrelenting narrative of survival, character drama, and horror, The Last of Us never loses sight of its humanity much like its principal characters. Joel learns to open up as Ellie, having never lived in the world prior to the apocalypse, is constantly amazed and enthralled by the remnants of society left behind. The Last of Us is chock full of small character stories as well, like the grumpy survivalist Bill, or the two brothers Henry and Sam, who share a lot of similarities to Joel and Ellie's relationship and travel with them for a little bit. Characters come and go, but they leave behind lasting memories for the player and the main characters.

In addition to strong characters, The Last of Us features breathtaking locales. The world as we knew still feels intact despite overgrowth or flooding in certain areas, and everything that happens is immediately more memorable and more emotionally resonant because your surroundings are so believable. Forests, fields and wooded trails are overgrown, dense, and lush. Abandoned villages and metropolises alike are eerie, silent, and crumbling. It creates the perfect horror atmosphere to get immersed in.

Speaking of horror, your enemies, human and fungal mutant alike, are dangerous and smart. Fighting is tense, up-close and brawl heavy, and fungal encounters can end swiftly with one wrong move. Though they are blind, their sense of hearing makes sure you or Joel don't even breathe. Though a bit of Batman Detective Vision is present in the game, it doesn't drop the tension too greatly if at all. Some of the melee finishers remind me of late game Spec Ops: The Line kills.

With superb direction, characters, voice acting, locations, and storytelling, The Last of Us remains one of the most stellar games of the last generation. It's worthy of every bit of praise thrown its way, a rollercoaster ride spanning the human emotion spectrum. It will frighten, move, and even delight the player through its entirety, and worth a playthrough right this very minute if you haven't already.

6. Jack the Ripper (27 points)
Nominated by: Shonen_Bat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRAACe6KEsw

Importance: 10
Fear: 9
Snake: 8

Arguably the most infamous and notorious serial killer of all time, as well as the most famous unsolved case of all time, Jack the Ripper continues to astound modern audiences, historians, and investigators to this day. He has become a legend, an almost revered historical figure, who's story has become a mixture of fact, folklore, pseudo-history, and fiction. We still don't know his true identity, and with over 100 theories put forth, it doesn't seem like we ever will. If you've seen the crime scene photos, you know how messed up Jack the Ripper truly was, with horrific mutilations done to his canonical five victims, all women and all prostitutes, often found with their organs missing. There are an additional six victims that some believe are connected to Jack the Ripper as well.

The case of Jack the Ripper was one of the first media frenzies to gain traction, generation a previously unseen level of hysteria and fear at that time. Sales of periodicals and newspapers were increased by the murders; we can still see a similar effect in news reports about mass shootings and murderers as well. These stories were often rushed and untrue, creating sensationalism and muddling the truth of the murders even further. The media also helped name Jack, creating a trend we see in later serial killers like the Boston Strangler or the Zodiac Killer.

As the Ripper has no real image or face, many sources have combined to create an image of what he would've likely looked at the time, including many fictional stories in the horror genre. Particularly, Jack is associated with Dracula and the vampire myth, with a cloaked look being prominent and the idea of sucking out one's blood being the biggest factors taken from that source. Jack has also been associated with high society and the look of a well-to-do British gentlemen is also a popular image of the Ripper. He has been used as a symbol of high society's corruption and wickedness towards the common population. Another thing to note is Jack's connection to Spring-Heeled Jack, another devilish and vicious attacker that was prominent at the time.

Despite Jack's overwhelming "popularity" and infamy, we should do well to never forget the truly horrific murders he has committed. Yet, there's no denying the draw of the case, and it definitely has become something even bigger than it was at the time. As always, it's our natural inclination to be drawn to the dark and terrible, and as such, Jack the Ripper remains one of the biggest influences on horror culture due to the intense mystery and intrigue surrounding the figure.

5. Dracula (1931 film) (27 points)
Nominated by: Great_Paul

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf6oVQxoD8U

Importance: 10
Fear: 8
Snake: 9

Sure, you can argue Nosferatu or The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari are the very roots of horror on film, the very beginning you can trace all horror movies back to. And yes, that's true, with the exception of some pre-1920s stragglers. To me though, 1931's landmark Dracula represents a more concrete beginning for horror films. It was one of the first horror films to feature sound, though it lacks a score and often has lengths of time with little dialogue. Bela Lugosi's magnetic performance brings to life the first huge horror icon on the silver screen. It launched a bloodline of sequels and a cinematic universe way before Marvel stepped on to the scene. It's crumbling Gothic architecture and defining of now classic vampire tropes continues to haunt audiences through every generation.

Dracula is a mystery film just as much as it is a horror film. Count Dracula in the film is presented as an enigmatic figure and there's a strong central narrative in figuring out what Dracula really is and what's he done to Renfield, an innocent businessman brought under mind control by the Count. With directing duties shared between Tod Browning and Karl Freund in secret, Dracula is built with a keen sense of meticulous atmosphere and pacing to its character development. Count Dracula here definitely isn't some between the scenes force with no presence. Dracula takes matters into his own hands and is just as capable of producing real fear with his icy stare as he is with his broken and deliberate speech pattern meant to invoke the idea of a talking corpse. Even Renfield is a stand-out as one of the creepiest characters in the film; Dwight Frye's performance is understated but it gets under skin with no trouble.

You can't deny Dracula is a true classic and huge milestone in horror. Every frame of this film is enough to invoke chills and frights on a cold, chilly night. It's endlessly quotable and has burnt the now iconic image of Lugosi's Dracula into everyone's minds. For those who have not seen it, Dracula bids you welcome!

Jack the Ripper has many fun adaptations in media. I'm fond of Black Butler's and Fate's versions of him.

...despite that Fate's JTR is a skimpily-dressed loli.

There's the Strange/Fake rendition as well who's quite interesting in his own right.

And normal JTR is a sweetheart, although she's very easily a (good) horror movie villain under the wrong Master.

4. Akira Yamaoka (27 points)
Nominated by: JONALEON1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkSdiBltgYo

Importance: 8
Fear: 9
Snake: 10

I'm of the opinion that the Silent Hill games wouldn't be half as good and scary if not for the memorable soundtrack work of Akira Yamaoka. His work touches on nearly all genres; the most principal being alternative rock, trip hop, industrial, dark ambient, and a little bit of heavy metal. Akira has worked on every game in the series with the exception of Silent Hill: Downpour, and has also played the role of producer on the series ever since Silent Hill 3. Akira designs each game's music with different themes and settings in mind. The original Silent Hill soundtrack is heavily industrial and is a very cold, harsh and unwelcoming OST to listen to fully, but it fits the game's atmosphere perfectly as the game invokes images of freezing, snowy streets and grungy grate metal clanging underfoot. Silent Hill 2 toys with alternative rock melancholy and ambient atmosphere that represents the game's more introspective nature. Silent Hill 3 combines many of Akira's compostions with the lovely vocals of Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, and to me almost feels like a concept album that centers around more the game's main characters and plays in with the game's larger emphasis on character relationship. Each track Akira composes bursts with personality and I can easily match them with where they play in-game because of their distinct feel and huge role in boosting all the games' atmosphere. Akira Yamaoka has done many other Konami games and has worked on the Suda51 horror games Lollipop Chainsaw, Shadows of the Damned, and Let It Die, though with those games emphasis on action and style Akira brings different genres to his compositions that aren't as moody as the Silent Hill series. They're enjoyable in their own way, but for me, Akira remains the king of video game music for being such a vital part of one of my favorite series of all time.

Tom Savini - Film is a truly magical medium. You can create illusions of reality, make people think they've seen things that they really haven't - like blowing a guy's head off with a shotgun.

Norman Bates - It's not like my mother is a maniac or a raving thing. She just goes a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you?

Jack Krasuer - You may be able to prolong your life, but it's not like you can escape your inevitable death, is it?

See you in the next one!
