Creeper on Minecraft. Alien AvP.

Was going to suggest both of those.

Aliens from the original AvP though ofc.

silent hill definitly has some of the most warped monsters, enough to keep them in your mind until the day you die.

Not a monster, under THE Railway Bridge Level in HL2 where you have to jump gaps and stuff, i have terrible vertigo and i **** my pants doing it for the first time.

The green things that jumped on your screen in Duke Nukem 3D and the facehuggers on Alien for the PS1.

In fact anything that jumps on your face just freaks me out.

*Shudder*

I bought this recently but haven't played it yet. The thing stamping through the water towards the end of the demo freaked me out the first time I encountered it.

This

Was the first proper boss I ever encountered in any game ever, and it scared the bejesus out of me!

can't remember the name of the game but i think you were a Japanese girl running around taking photos of ghosts with no weapons but a camera, just thinking of it is making me scared now and its early in the morning and i still haven't gone to bed

HellKnight from Doom3. Also, biggest jump out of my skin moment was the dog smashing through the window into the mansion from outside in resident evil 1. It completely takes you by surprise since the minutes leading up to that is just silent exploration.

First time you meet this guy in Doom 3

Any of the evil-ass-nasties in the Silent Hill games

And suprised only one person has mentioned it so far but I'd go with the original Cyberdemon in Doom

Coming accross him at 3am wasn't fun lol

CYBERDEMON!

This.. Loved the build up to it. Simple room tons of guns and ammo and a daunting thump thump thump and me thinking what the hell is that?

There's also been a few other 'oh crap' moments in ny gaming career. Probably the first one is encountering a Thargoid ship in elite and noting with dread my newly fitted beam lasers were'nt even denting it.

Emerald weapon in FF7 was pretty daunting, took me 20 mins to kill the thing if I recall(although most of that were repeats of the summoning animation from knight of the round).

I don't really remember any new ones, probably because i can usually recognise the tricks and signals game designers use to signpost something bad about to happen.

Most of the stuff in the Thief games were pretty scary. The haunted cathedral level in Thief 1 was damn creepy, as was that one with the trickster.

The first AvP game was also pretty scary when it came out. Face huggers etc.
