I miss the days of being a kid and not knowing that these were purposely made, and the sense of wonder, fear and astonishment it gave you when you found or came across them online wondering what they meant and if they had any deeper significance than just a gag or reference. The little creepy pastas and explanation people would try to come up with for these things was always fun and left so much to our imagination.

good times.

Back in the early 2010s, I used to be DEATHLY afraid of these types of easter eggs in video games.

1:32:49 quick context on the Ruth Price call: it was a 911 call because an intruder broke into her home but she, i think around 70 at the time, fought them off until they ran away.

she died peacefully 14 years after that.

I remember seeing Skyrim's headless horseman. Except his horse didnt spawn and he was just chilling in a snowy forest. Tried talking to him but if you would believe me, the headless horseman isnt a talker.

Its always funny to me how almost all of these easter eggs were actually implemented for comedy by the devs but 10 years of youtubers making creepy asmr videos about them changed their perception.

As someone who has been hyperfixated on Psychonauts for 15+ years, I always forget how genuinely creepy Milla’s room can be. Glad to see it included.

Another creepy easter egg in Stardew Valley can happen if you do the ritual at the Dark Shrine of Selfishness to turn your children into doves. Afterward, you have a chance of getting creepy phone calls saying things like "You have forsaken us". Also, if you watch TV on Fall 26 after doing the ritual, a haunted doll will jump out of the TV and will proceed to attack you every time you approach the shrine for the rest of the game.

Whoever made this iceberg definitely didn't order it by obscurity.

The Gameboy camera easter egg stops being scary when you realize that's just the Japanese equivalent of drawing mustaches on people's pictures.

The Slenderman jumpscare on Runner 2 isn't real, that's just a troll added to that one YT video that showcased Slenderman spottings on the level (which are real). So many youtubers have fallen for this one...

[Hedron]

Fun fact for anyone who wants to get the Man-Bat scare out of the way: Grappling onto the Gotham Globe building will always trigger the jumpscare so you don’t have to worry about being randomly scared.

Hey, just wanted to make a pedantic correction of the WoW Goldshire Children. In reality, nothing about them was intended to be creepy. WoW has always had NPC's that wander to make the world feel more alive. The children wander the road around Goldshire and Storming, going into that house sometimes. The pentagram is just the shape of mobs programmed to keep with one another in a blob as I don't even think WoW NPCs can path in a circle.

The "eerie music" that's said to play in the house is the default classic WoW overworld cave music. Most friendly buildings don't have interior music, but that one was set to use the at-the-time default by mistake. The "you will die" is staged by the person who made that video. Its a voice clip from the raid boss C'thun. WoW allows you to create soundboard of any sound in the game data using macros. The person in that video mapped a key to the macro and voila. Very easy trick to pull since they had their UI toggled off.

WoW has plenty of real scary stuff scattered all across its many expansions. Its sad that that years old debunked hoax is what gets attention in videos like these

Personally the Star Fox easter egg is the creepiest to me. The fact that General Pepper seemingly notices that Fox is just...GONE and now trapped in this infinite void full of faces staring at him is terrifying.

[flamedramon]

The Futurama Easter Egg was found, actually. It required you to do a few specific actions like breaking the fire extinguisher case but not picking it up and collecting certain amounts of money in different increments

A creepy video game easter eggs iceberg video on Christmas Eve? Now this is actually a nice Christmas gift.

I mean, the phone calls in The Darkness are FAR from the most grim thing in the game. The actual Darkness itself and what it intentionally does to Jackie aside, I STILL remember stumbling blindly in the trenches of Hell, getting ambushed by enemies through the dense fog/smoke.

[jamesongorman]

i was never really bothered by horror or violence in games/movies, even when i was pretty young, but seeing the gameboy camera run easter egg on youtube for the first time around the age of 11-12 left me legit traumatized for quite a while.

CORRECTION: the MK9 Crypt monster actually can jumpscare you randomly in the Krypt while you're unlocking stuff not in the main menu. The krypt is it's own play area divided into areas and the nekropolis which lays in front of it. Pretty much wherever you are you will have a chance to get jumpscared when in the Krypt, you won't get jumpscared in the main menu or Nekropolis area.
Anyway cool video sourcebrew :)

15:34 that's hex maniac, a type of pokemon trainer. What I found on the wikipage: "On the second floor of the Lumiose City's Fighting Dojo building, a Hex Maniac will appear, say "No, you're not the one, " and float away. The meaning of this in-game event, if it has any, is so far unknown." and "In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, on the first floor of Mt. Pyre's inner section, a Hex Maniac says: "... No, you're not the one. ... Ah..." so she's seen as an easter egg in 2 different occasions, saying the same thing, interesting

The Bioshock music was apparently confirmed to be the VAs just singing and screwing around.
