** Regina CAN choose to fight here, but given how stingy the first came could be with anything stronger than your pitiful handgun, which is hardly appropriate firepower for ''freakin dinosaurs'', it's more resourcefully economic to run past the t-rex and out the door when it withdraws its head. Unfortunately, choosing to do that is its own brand of horror since you basically have to brush alongside its nose just to get past it, and that gives it PLENTY of opportunity to chomp you...

* The first encounter with the ''T. rex'' in the first game is done in a spectacularly frightening way. [[spoiler: Just as you turn to leave an office with a large window, likely not knowing that you have triggered anything at all, [[JumpScare a head the size of a Volkswagen crashes through that window]], snatches the corpse of a scientist and then the game throws you right into your first boss fight after giving you just enough time to realize what is going on.]]

* While [[GaidenGame Dino Stalker]] focuses a lot more on action than terror, there are still some unnerving moments to be found. Most of them come from the massive [[DarkIsEvil pitch-black]] ''T.rex'': not only does it look bigger than the other ''T.rexes'' from the series, it's [[MadeOfIron much tougher as well]]. The ''T.rexes'' from the previous games were incredibly durable as well, but this monstrosity is able to resist multiple rockets shot straight at it's face without even dropping the tiniest ammount of blood. Then there's it's roar; it just sounds [[HellIsThatNoise completely unnatural and demonic]]. While it only appears twice in the entire game, it definitely makes a memorable impression.

* When Dylan and Regian regroup at the boat, they discover that someone destroyed the time gate, effectively stranding them in the past. While the two of them do manage to find another time gate near the end of the game, it had to be incredibly chilling to know that they could have been stuck in the dinosaur age with very limited resources on hand to survive with.

* In the second game, when exploring the Control Shack at the Research Facility, you find a file talking about how to get rid of the poisonous plants that contains [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dcplants.PNG a photograph of said plants]]. Due to the heavy compression and blurriness, the photograph comes across as rather creepy and ominous, like it was taken in a hurry due to how dense the air is because of the poison. The fact that it looks like a real photograph (probably of some miniature models) doesn’t help.

* Really, just the concept of the series is enough to make you weary of playing it (''especially'' the first game) if you find movies like ''Film/JurassicPark'' scary. Unlike its sister series where the zombies, while scary and you certainly don’t want them to get close to you, are ultimately slow, dumb and are easy to take out with some well-aimed shots at their brains, this one has friggin’ ''Velociraptors'' as its main enemies, which are fully aware, smart and '''FAST''' animals who come sprinting at you like [[Videogame/ResidentEvil3 Nemesis]], are unpredictable, hunt in packs, can ambush you and drain your health with just a few slashes and are '''HARD''' to kill with just your dinky handgun. Doubly so with the ''Tyrannosaurus'', a massive and implacable man-eating beast who makes Tyrants look like common mooks. There’s a reason why the most recommended strategy when dealing with them is simple: ''Run''.

** One of the attacks the ''T. rex'' gains in this phase is one where it grabs Mike in it's jaws, shakes him around a bit and then drops him with a bite. It's scary enough on it's own, but it gets even worse when you stop to think a bit: the ''T. rex'' had an extremely powerful bite force, and the game had shown it killing one of the ''Carnotaurus'' earlier with a single bite. It should be able to instantly kill Mike with this move, and maybe the reason it doesn't... is ''because it doesn't want to''. It's so pissed off that it doesn't want to simply kill Mike quickly; it wants to take it's sweet time and make him [[ItsPersonal suffer]].

** The first encounter with it happens in the fifth stage. It shows up abruptly and [[AlwaysABiggerFish effortlessly kills]] one of the ''Carnotaurus'', who up until this point were the biggest and among the deadliest dinosaurs hunting Mike and Paula. They don't even bother to fight it, opting to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere retreat]] as soon as they hear it's roar. This hellish beast also appears to have ''something'' against humans, as it immediately gives chase to Mike and Paula despite the fact that it just killed a dinosaur that could keep it fed for a while.

** The second encounter happens in the innards of a volcano where the Mother Computer is located. The fight is divided in two parts; in the first, the ''T.rex'' is no more angry than all the other dinosaurs fought so far. After you beat the first round and injure it, however? It ''completely'' [[VillainousBreakdown]] flips out.

It ''completely'' [[VillainousBreakdown]] [[VillainousBreakdown flips out.out]]. It becomes much more relentless and agressive in it's attacks, unleashing one after the other. The volcano also starts to awaken during this part, which gives the area a truly hellish look. The erupting lava and the angered roars of the beast almost makes it seem that you're fighting ''Satan'' himself instead of a dinosaur.
