Scariest Video Game Moments in Non-Horror Games - #2: Bioshock - The First Houdini Splicer


Bioshock actually has quite a few scary moments, including the dentist and the plaster splicers in Fort Frolic. The one I remember most vividly though is the first encounter with a Houdini splicer in Arcadia. As you follow him around a corner, he disappears in front of a table with a mask on top of it. When you get closer, the lights flicker off and you see a shadow cast on the wall in front of you. Turning around, he's standing right behind you, before disappearing again. As you chase after him, the lights continue to flicker while you hear his maniacal laughter. Not every encounter with a Houdini splicer is scary, but the first one definitely was.
