* Sometimes, turning up the sensitivity of the Face Poser allows you to make some extremely disturbing expressions.

** Similarly, for ''[=GMod=]'' 13, Garry removed the restrictions on facial muscle animation, and added some more ways of manipulating bones. This essentially allows the player to make any kind of HumanoidAbomination they'd like out of the [=NPCs=] they have installed. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBsdWW7MOew Hoo]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiuDiygINKo boy]], are the results genuinely terrifying.

* The [[BlatantLies Harmless]] Companion Cube. At first, it seems to be a regular Companion Cube from ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}''...but when you turn around, you'll notice ''[[CantMoveWhileBeingWatched it's moved closer]]''. Look away for too long, and it'll creep up on you, before pulling out a knife and ''stabbing you to death''. It's even worse if you've lost it.

* When a Nextbot isn't some 2D picture of a meme or {{Narm}}y creepypasta character, it can be scary to know that you are in the same map as a predatory NPC that always knows where you are, is faster than you, is actively trying to murder you, and the only way you could defend yourself is by trying to lose it in labyrinths, [[SuperPersistentPredator and even that's not guaranteed to save you]].

* The classic map [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=151544081 gm_Shambles]] is a good example of a creepy map. It is an old abandoned British neighbourhood at night with [[OminousFog faint fog.]] It has only a few enterable houses and [[EmptyRoomPsych they are all missing their furniture, and all of their doors are either missing or knocked down.]] Some windows are boarded up, some rooms have only a few lights on, some houses have been damaged and [[NightmareFuel some houses even have splatters of]] ''[[NightmareFuel blood.]]'' There is also a creepy ambience throughout that sounds like a [[DroneOfDread very faint drone]] and sometimes, church bells may ring... [[NothingisScarier It leaves little to no evidence of what kind of apocalypse had actually happened here,]] but the only clue of '"what"' may have happened is a small newspaper left on the floor of one of the living rooms of a house. There are also some disturbing [[EasterEgg Easter Eggs]] around the map, with an example [[spoiler: being a well that has a gnome in a middle of a pentagram at the bottom.]] All of this results in a map so creepy that sometimes some players are not even able to explore the map fully.

*** If that's not bad enough, some TrollingCreator decided to make ''[[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2880212978 a haunted version]]'' of the map, where there are black shadow people that are scripted to appear every once in a while. ''[[SarcasmMode Have fun!]]''

* [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2813518724 Night Paranoia]], an open-ended and dynamic horror map which involves the player being required to survive [[ProtectThisHouse a home invasion]] by a solo [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 Civil Protection unit]]. It is very intense to experience, as the player is required to use stealth just to survive. there are ten MultipleEndings, and being spotted can result in a JumpScare courtesy of a '''very''' loud ScareChord, which could be triggered at ''[[ParanoiaFuel any]]'' moment...
** In a way, it also makes the Civil Protection a ''lot'' more menacing.

* The blood effect mod [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2792346468 Real Life Blood MOD]] is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, where it is blood decals that are based off of ''real'' blood splatters from actual forensics pictures. The thumbnail[[labelnote:spoiler]]It looks like a photo of dried up blood smeared on the sides of a bathtub, and a bit on the wall too.[[/labelnote]]  doesn't help matters either.

** [[HarsherInHindsight it is also a bit depressing to go through the map]], as it's original creator Fartomaticatron died in January 2015.
