david_a Posted July 19, 2009 The Ghoul's Forest 3? It's the basically the game equivalent of one of those screamer videos. 0 Share this post Link to post
Insane_Gazebo Posted July 19, 2009 Circus666 and Circus667 are pretty damn creepy. I'm not sure Circus667 was uploaded to the archives yet, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xaser Posted July 19, 2009 Insane_Gazebo said:Circus666 This. Aside from that and Ghoul's Forest, that's all I can think of. Oniria is pretty weird and freaky, though not in a scary nightmare-y kind of way. Worth checking out, though. 0 Share this post Link to post

Worth checking out, though. I'd never tried either of those before. Oniria was quite cool. (The spiral piece stood out. I've tried making a spiral before and giving up, heh.) Ghoul's Forest was fairly creepy. I tried out the third one, but I couldn't figure out exactly what I was supposed to do, before getting eaten by something. (I suspect instructions were in the readme.) 0 Share this post Link to post
Solarn Posted July 19, 2009 I just tried Circus666 and it's incredibly creepy, but I can't progress in it. I've been to the tent with the freaky circular mouth and the tent with the yellow skull door which I can't open and there's nothing else I can do. What did I miss? 0 Share this post Link to post

I wish I could tell you, I got stuck in the same place :( I wish Circus667 was up somewhere - that was a rather amazing wad to play. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted July 19, 2009 Asylum of the Wretched is surely the best attempt to create such a wad. 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted July 19, 2009 The guards will open the door for you. Just don't kill them first! You can wake them by punching the air or (better, as it makes no noise*) bumping into them through the window. Oh yeah, and make sure you're loading the dehacked patch. It should be pretty obvious that something is fundamentcally wrong if you're not though. * heh, that advice is probably only important if you are trying to finished the map in Pacifist Reality style, so maybe disregard it otherwise! 0 Share this post Link to post
kaplanator Posted July 19, 2009 I would recommend the creepy first level of my ZDoom hub-in-progress, but as it's not finished yet I can't. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted July 19, 2009 Tamashii said:that arch-vile maze in plutonia There are a few pwad levels that revisit that theme. One that springs to mind is Equinox map10. 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted July 19, 2009 Not as far as nightmarish, but ain't Doom 3 better at crippling in your face disgusting fights? 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted July 19, 2009 I know a guy who got nightmares from playing AliensTC in the middle of the night. This was back when it was new though. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted July 19, 2009 Grazza said:Asylum of the Wretched is surely the best attempt to create such a wad. Yeah I was just about to search for that wad to post it here...surely one of the most atmospheric wads in existence. I could never figure out the gameplay but the fear factor is certainly there. Play with the lights out for increased effect. 0 Share this post Link to post

EarthQuake Posted July 20, 2009 I have a project that I've started, but I can't reveal too many details about it. Basically, I think I've created the the scariest monster ever seen in Doom (I shit you not). I know every single thing about how it moves, attacks, et cetera, but it freaks me the fuck out every single time I playtest. It's not a screamer either! Oh and by the way, it gave me nightmares too. :) But, as far as released wads go, I'd have to say Ghoul's Forest 3 and Happytime Circus. The abandoned house in Action Doom 2 was pretty freaky as well. 0 Share this post Link to post

pcorf Posted July 20, 2009 WOS map16 is scary. But you'll have to find out yourself when it comes out. 0 Share this post Link to post
kaplanator Posted July 20, 2009 Scythe 2, map16. Short, but very creepy. 0 Share this post Link to post

I still find that pretty damn scarey. And it usually takes quite a bit to scare me, but AliensTC nearly makes me shit myself each time i play it, despite knowing whats going to happen. 0 Share this post Link to post
