In this special Halloween-themed episode, we look back at the games that terrified us as kids! From the low-polygon style of the N64 and PS1 that made everything extra creepy, to specific nightmare-fuel moments, we're sharing our spookiest childhood gaming memories. We dive into the accidental horror of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (that zombie hand...), the eerie Majora's Mask, and the infamous Lavender Town theme from Pokémon. We also discuss the surprisingly terrifying Rugrats game, the sheer panic of the first Flood encounter in Halo 1, running from dinosaurs in Dino Crisis, and the pure terror of DOOM and Dead Space. In our recent plays, Ben is still grinding in Hades to prepare for Hades 2, and Ryan shares his thoughts on Silent Hill F after watching a full playthrough. We also give updates on our progress in Pokémon Violet as we get ready for Pokémon Legends: Z-A. What game terrified you as a kid? Let us know in the comments!#podcast #gaming #horror
