The scariest video game Easter Eggs and where to find them

Alma's first trick (F.E.A.R.)

Milla's nightmares (Psychonauts)

The Egg: Yeah, I wasn't lying about the burning children the opening slide. Psychonauts, the sometimes distressing but generally wacky psychic adventure, puts a real downer on things when you enter Milla Vodello's mind. Most of the area is taken up by a gigantic, colorful dance party (hence the name Milla's Dance Party, I suppose) but one room is very different, resembling a child's playroom. A book found within shows Milla used to work at an orphanage that--oh wow--burned down, killing all the children inside. You then gain access to a nearby chest that Milla calls a "party killer", where she keeps horrific nightmares of the children whispering her name and asking why she didn't save them. UM. Yeah I don't think I'm in a party mood anymore.

Where to find it: So I guess you land on a platform with a swirly pattern on it, then bounce to one that looks like a disco floor, and then aim for a door next to a giant lollipop? Oh I don't know, just watch this.

Slenderman stalker (Runner2)

Where to find it: Run the Bush Wacky course, try to keep your eyes on the background, and hope you see him first. P.S. You won't.

Ghostly screensavers (the Fatal Frame series)

Where to find it: Anywhere at all! Just leave the game running and don't touch the controller for exactly five minutes, and the screensaver will take over. It's a riot at parties!
