Non-Scary Game that Scared you When you were Young?

I have a very vivid memory of the game Lady Bug on colecovision playing a scary song when you died and scaring the crap out of me as a kid when the lights were off but I can't seem to find a video to corroborate that. Maybe it was a different game, or maybe I'm going senile already :)

EDIT: Also totally understand the Sonic thing. That drowning theme will get the blood pumping!

This is a bit strange but when Kid Icarus was released (NES) I was always afraid that I would get turned into an eggplant in my dreams.

Max Payne! The weird dream levels where you had to follow the sound of your dead baby's cries scarred me for life.

This!

I was hiding behind the sofa ^^

this doesnt apply to your question because it was indeed a horror game but i still got my hands on shadow man for the n64 and was terrified of the shadow world and couldnt pass this mummy guy who is wobbling his hands around. this guy right here: https://youtu.be/dCa2UdjhQ88?t=1593

It did not scare me, but it made me nervous every time I came back for my Dahaka in POP Warrior Whitin

Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland
Clock Tower 3
Nightmare Ned

The first Prince of Persia of 1989. I was about 3 or 4 years old when my father had it installed on a Windows 98. Watching the main character falling on spikes or the first enemy with a sword was horrible to me. Was literally the first game I ever had contact and the most terrifying.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the part where you had to escape the Slytherin common room without getting caught frightened me.

The creepy humanoids from the end of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

Zelda Wind Waker. I couldn't handle finding big octos.

Not really a horror game but playing as a marine in Alien vs predator back in the days sure was worse than most horror games to date.

Not young, and not really a non-scary game, but the sound of spiders walking in a DDO (Dungeons & Dragons Online) quest when you are wearing headphones is still creepy. :)

walking around the woods on GTA San Andreas was pretty spooky

Resident Evil 2, was too afraid to play myself, had someone else play for me

Standing on last pixel in super mario bros.

King's Quest 4 -- the cave with the 3 old witches, where one of the witches tries to get you. I always assumed she was trying to throw me into that boiling cauldron, the game never showed it / hinted at it (even after getting caught), yet I was still completely certain of it and terrified. :P I had thought KQ4 would be an "easy", "girly" game with birdsongs and ridiculous princes riding around on unicorns or something -- but honestly, some of the stuff in that game was way scarier than in any of the previous KQ games that pretty much just had mild and slightly humorous "fairy tale horror", imo.

There was the video game adaptation of Peter Jackson's King Kong movie from 2005. Every time I played the canyon level, it terrified me with millipedes that came out of nowhere to ambush you, and the bats hanging over the rickety boards suspended over an instant death pit.

There was also a Sherlock Holmes game with mummies and a creepy Watson that used to pop out of nowhere.

Thief series is not scary in general BUT when I was in Shalebridge cradle in Deadly Shadows! Whoa. Scary like hell, escpecially when that one door on the roof was knocking by itself ... wtf?

i think it was harry potter 1 , was a bit creepy

When I was 5 years old or so, after playing Felix The Cat I'd had creepy game-style nightmare with weird Felix, smth like creepy-pastes of internet-era. So I was so afraid and just throw out cartridge next morning.
