A parallel and maybe opposite of the Goomba Stomp... The Phanto Chase is the part of the game where you get really nervous and psyched/afraid because the tension just got up... Just like the Phantos chasing against you once you grab a key in Super Mario. I'd first like to nominate Cazadores in Fallout NV. Those are the some of the scariest motherfuckers in the game and will swarm and gently caress a character no matter what level it is most of the time and the fact I am irrationally afraid of bugs and wasps makes fighting those things really stressful for me.

Basically everything after killing Rom in Bloodborne, but specifically that part where you have to run from respawning enemies and a laser beam.

I don't play a lot of rhythm games but when I do I'll always realize I'm in the zone and on my way to a perfect score and it will psyche me out and I'll lose my concentration. I've dropped a lot of All Criticals in Theatrhythm due to this phenomenon.

For me it's when I'm trying to get a good time in a time trial mode of a game near the end of a good run when I know I can still mess up. Gives me butterflies. Also any dangerous encounter in a game with permadeath after I have a good character going.

The Phanto Chase is hosed up. I think those masks are some of the creepiest poo poo in videogames. That they're in an otherwise such an innocuous game makes them all the more intense. Expectant dread and tension build up is really well done in the Silent Hill series. My favorite is probably in the first game, with the locker that turns out to hold a cat. Then you go into that room in the hell dimension and it messes with you based on your experience of the previous encounter. You go back and forth in the room and revisit, and each time they gently caress with your expectations in a new way, so when the final scare comes, you're almost exhausted with the anticipation and it really gets you. That it's such a small room and short encounter makes it all the more powerful. The chainsaw Frankenstein in the maze in Castlevania 64 was also something that really bothered me. An invincible monster in an disorienting maze. Hearing it approach and realizing you took the wrong turn ftmfw. The Resident Evil 4 chainsaw hombre had some similar vibes, but since the village was more open than the maze it didn't nearly get me as anxious.

Time limits also really get to me, especially long term ones. I couldn't stand playing Pikmin 1 because on day 20 out of 30 or whatever I felt exhausted from the pressure of keeping up and not loving up. Being close to the goal made it all the more nerve-wracking. I doubt I'll ever speedrun a game like Super Metroid for a better ending, which is a shame.

DROD RPG being a full game length optimization puzzle, where you may have to make a save and then go an hour down a single route and then reload and test another route, and not really be sure which is the right one to take, actually gave me stressful nightmares

In Silent Hill 4 the ghost enemies actually can appear anywhere and they damage you by simply being in the same room as you. Definitely the scariest enemies in any Silent Hill game, even if I don't like Silent Hill 4.

Any time in Hollow Knight or similar metroidvania where you bust through a floor or something and land in a totally new area, but your way back is blocked or inaccessible, so you have to march forward into the unknown without a save point or fast travel or anything to tether you to safety

the most horrifying sound in all video games is the Curse Noise from the NES Dragon Quest games, because it's the noise it made when your save file got erased.
