Trading the psychological thrill of built suspense in favour of balls-to-the-wall action is a hot trend in the horror genre at the moment. With both Resident Evil 6 and Dead Space 3 having gone AWOL from their original roots, the amount of titles that can truly be described as ‘survival horror’ is rapidly decreasing.

Mike Clark from G4@Syfygames explores some of the video game enemies that made terrifying noises that haunt him to this very day.
No mention of Clickers from the Last Of Us. Hearing those through my headset terrified me.
Only one comes to mind and that is RE4'S Regenerators/Iron Maiden so terrifying Imo lol
No feral ghouls from Fallout 3 either. I remember the first time I heard one, it scared me pretty good, because I hadn't seen or heard one up to that point.
I sent an email to the creator of the game telling him what a great job he did. He was humble and nice, he didn't really expect this new found fame.
