Dead Hand fucked me up in 1998. I don't think I've been quite right since.

The ones that suddenly jump on you and eat your face off are the ones that really got me.

The Gibdo.

The sounds they made unfortunately live rent free in my nightmares.

To be fair, this is using an HD Texture mod and a higher render resolution, which increases the "scare" factor. The game didn't quite look like this originally. It lacked a lot of detail and was slightly blurrier.

Kinda like how people in the past talked about how realistic graphics looked, but then comparing them to today's graphics advancements makes that seem rather silly. Or how "realistic" DOOMs violence was, compared to the violence in DOOM 2016.

Also thiss is a screenshot from Ocarina of Time, not Majora's Mask.

This monstrosity and the gibdo from OoT will forever haunt my nightmares.
