Batman Arkham series were the best. Especially Joker ones.

@@TaskForce_911 let me guess your first person to comment

Shadow of the Beast 2 on the Amiga 500. That image of your characters soul being taken while a haunting loud rock guitar blared at you... that was the stuff of nightmares for me as a kid.

Batman Arkham

I have a question for you. Why does your comment say 22 hours ago when this has posted 1 hour ago?

I hear ya, and game over screens like seem really fitting for Batman's rogues galley

I Strongly Agree.

Nice pfp

It makes me feel like I failed Gotham

Hey, I hope you are living a happy life. I am making a movie called ABANDONED. I want you to check it out. Support me by subscribing to me. More information is in the description of the video I uploaded. I am self-promoting because I am very new on youtube. It is not a scam

@Slipstreamz McGuire>Garfield>Holland

taco squirts Yes

I heard that in his voice. I love Mark Hamil.

I love the Game over screens in the Arkham games

I would genuinely get mad and replay

It's like the games just taunts you for your failures.

I really liked the game over screens. Some of them were pretty funny.

Yep, when I played the Arkham games I felt like I was being taunted and just angrily restart on my last checkpoint.

oh i absolutely agree on the fnaf and Resi part ha.

NOT THE SUGAR TUNNEL

I’ve played re4 so much that it isn’t scary

@@user-vx9op9sl6t I know, that’s such an underrated classic

Sonic CD (US) Game over screen freaked me out as a child

yeah i mean the immersion with the view from Batman's corpse. unique.

Samr

I felt that way about the Game Over scene from _Donkey Kong 64._ In that one, you're forced to watch as King K. Rool _nukes_ DK Isles and _all its inhabitants._ Though, at least you could skip that scene.

What about the one from Paper Mario: Color Splash? I mean, those Shy Guys literally come and suck the life out of Mario.

I think Luigis mansion 1 beta had the scariest

@@ninsega3526 They probably didn't include it because the scene was scrapped, but I agree that one was premium _soul-embedding nightmare fuel._

@@rogue7723 Yeah I'm glad it was removed from the full game

Nightmares forever!

@J-Ace78990 i couldn’t help but see that you are my twin, we share the same likes and I feel better about myself and don’t think of myself as an outcast anymore. Sorry if I sound like a 5 year old 😅

@@just_kuroo6204 Dw :)

Who knew games could be so harsh? 😅

You and I must both have strong stomachs then,because the content of this video is terrifying,and the background music only adds further horror.Seriously,what's with the creepy violin and bells that worms it's way onto numerous creepy Watchmojo videos anyway?

@@dafilmqueen556 in what way is this video 'terrifying' I didn't even notice there was "creepy" music lol

@@valzalel5203,the background video music can easily be heard everytime the narrator is speaking,and is only silenced when video game dialogue/music is played.I also have a thing against graphic gore,even if in my opinion,the worst fictional death ever is by way of disintegration so gore is tame in comparison,but that's not relevant,is it?

Wtf r you going on about this isn’t scary

well i find #19 to be Terrifyi

Samus: *_haha obvious death visuals go brrr_*

Ikr I don't want to hear it I just wanted to play

Ouchies I'm being sawed through my chest

Get robloxed

No it’s more like Ooooooh

only in 1-1 but it is pretty fuckin creepy, even for Resident evil

In Manhunt too

@@Nexty_34 yeh i was just about to say that only happens in one specific chapter ha.

The first time it was disturbing then it got annoying af on professional

@@nolanc9432 tru tho.

That actually frightened me as a little kid. Was actually surprised to see this on here

Well, according to TV Tropes, you get a continue screen with Patrick alone in SpongeBob's house wondering where everyone is on his birthday. That's sad enough but it gets worse when you realize that if SpongeBob was in charge of handing out invitations then if he wasn't able to, it means that he *died on his journey!* Which leaves Patrick all alone in SpongeBob's house since he isn't around anymore and quite possibly wasn't able to feed Gary (or since Gary was also on SpongeBob's journey, he might have suffered a similar fate as his owner since he probably couldn't be taken home safely.)

@@JontyMaster Didn't expect to see you here

@@zachatck64 Hello!

Agreed

That one still scares me to this day

Same here

I mean, 5 year old me would've been scared by it for sure, but it's definitely not that bad compared to the other ones on the list. Especially how right after it in this video is FNAF, and... well... 😬

@@yetigamer905 what's the song in the background

@@spideyfan1dj700 I'm not sure

Relatable tho

First of all its called must scream not just scream second of all your absolutely right i mean all on this list isn't even remotely disturbing not even in the slightest

That’s barely disturbing to me. Except for DKC2

@@hudsondzc Yeah DKC2 has a slightly scary game over with that red screen at the end.

Very disturbing

@@JontyMaster OMG yes! Definitely creeped me out when I was little

yep

Yep.

What about Bowser that became hot? Whaaa Bowsette!!!!

That’s fucking harsh. While he can reunite with her, it’s still kinda brutal to me.

Batman might not need his mother, but the player may very well need THEIR mother after watching that game over cutscene. 😰 Not to mention that's literally adding insult to injury. Like, dude. You've already taken out Batman. Do you really need to rub it in? 😒

I was really expecting that on this list.

Seriously, I somehow missed that game as a kid and even playing it for the first time as an adult, the game over sequence made me extremely uncomfortable. How the ever-loving flip did Lavos’s unnerving cry not make this list??

tubbykids00 I remember that

It’s disturbing the first time it happens then it just gets annoying if you continue to die on professional

Can I please see that? I really want to see it.

Game Over.

I'll add Sonic CD (U.S. Version). That theme alone is creepy.

The Luigi's Mansion game overs are especially scary and saddening and I haven't had the privilege to play the Luigi's Mansion series yet. (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

I came here to say the same thing. I can't believe these weren't on the list. What idiot made this list?

Probably. I think it's for the best that it was scrapped. 😅 So many kids would've had nightmares for a week. I certainly would've.

Something tells me that they weren't including pirate/bootleg/unlicensed games!

Yes Donkey Kong Country had some unsettling game over screens.

Why are their game over screens disturbing?

That and in the actual game over screen, should you choose to not continue, Rick's flesh gets melted off, that is also quite disturbing.

The parasite you're talking about is the boreworm. The boreworm doesn't burst out of Jennifer but rather turns her into a mindless beast. And you're right, the cutscene that plays during that is really disturbing

What makes this worse, is that they weren't on the ground.. they were being cooked in an oven. Then the screen turns red showing they're being cooked alive

@@jarlson9651 oh my god. Thank god I didn’t know that until now, I may have been sobbing while violently button mashing to kill K.Rool

@@jarlson9651 I always thought it was just a jail cell.

​@@TriforceWolf93 I'm pretty sure it is a jail cell. But since the game over screen turned red when the jingle ends, a lot of people understandably thought it was an oven. 😅

Indeed they are. Even though we often dread them, the game overs, especially the game over cutscenes remind us that there are consequences for failing the game.

*CRINGE ALERT*

I remember that one. Man that one was scary! 😰 I think it's for the best that game over screen wasn't added to the final game. 😅 So many kids would've had nightmares for a week. There's no doubt about it.

No I think the American version of cd has the creepy music, unless u think the jp version is scarier than the American.

@@MEINARD200 US creepy for me is only boss music

You mean US? Japan has the rap song when it’s a game over

@@kobeschannel3506 ye

RIGHT!? How was that not even on here?

Hong Kong '97 could've also been an honorable mention

That’s only in Luigi’s mansion 3 I’m pretty sure.

In the original Luigi's Mansion, Luigi falls over passed out from fright while the words "Goodnight" are displayed on screen

LaserShark Ik, but the other ones still kinda scared me when I was little

Dean Devore Yeah, but the music playing over also kinda made it scary

Watch Luigis mansion 1 beta game over screen

I totally agree, those disturbing images made me cover my eyes whenever the game over popped up.

What happens in the game over screen?

@@dafilmqueen556 so what happens is that you get quick flashes of random images. 3 of the images show a woman who has black ooze dripping out of her eyes and each image gets progressively grotesque

@@revanreborn9658 yeah, not to mention the fact that each player you play with, whether it is as Imogen or Herber, has there own set of nightmarish pictures that you see when they die. That is one hell of a detail given by Frictional games, but on the other hand, it's scary...

Oh hell yes. I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream is nightmare fuel from beginning to end. Can’t believe they left that and Chrono Trigger out.

@@Rainman316pwns,in which way are both game over screens disturbing?I simply ask.Yes,I'm more of a movie fan than a video game player in almost every way,and I am also hyper sensitive about content I watch,but I ask because I love watching video game related content too,so I would love some insight too.

Stephy The Bride I Have No Mouth is an old-school horror point and click game from the 90’s. Something about the early graphics really gets to me. It’s also basically about an AI that destroyed humanity and left a few alive just to torture them. Really creepy stuff. With Chrono Trigger, there’s a lot of time travel involved. You’re trying to save the future from a planet-eating monster. If you lose the final battle, it destroys the planet and you see it happen through the eyes of the people in the future. Then you hear its roar and you get a screen of the planet going dark with the words “...But The Future Refused To Change.” It’s really heavy stuff in the context of the game.

@@Rainman316pwns,then I am glad to not have the game in my possession.

I have no mouth and must scream was a great short story. Haven't had a chance to play the game

Omg same

*Same* Also Haunting Ground (as underrated as that game is)

Lion King 2 or Smth game over is suicide

Don't you mean the one JonTron played
