History NightmareFuel / BioShock1

* Big Daddies are {{Gentle Giant}}s and absolutely harmless, despite being creepy-looking, walking with very heavy footsteps, and being followed by [[CreepyChild Little Sisters]]. Unlike most enemies in the game, they won't attack you even if you get right up in their faces, though they'll likely give you a strong shove. On the other hand, if you attack one, it goes [[UnstoppableRage completely ballistic]] and throws itself at you really, really fast. It won't stop until you clear out of there (or kill it), and next time you see it, it's back to calm. A BerserkButton indeed.

* Peach Wilkins is very creepy. Aside from the paranoia, he seemed fairly sane, and later on, it turned out [[ProperlyParanoid he was ''right''.]] His whole aura and his mannerisms were rather creepy as well, as was his whole freezer area. And his boss fight is hard as until you remember Telekinesis.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96j6peCrjb4 Little sisters lines]] are generally filled with [[AdultFear Adult Fear]] to the brim, with phrases like [[ParentalAbandonment "Daddy, please don't go away."]] and [[AbusiveParents "don't hurt me"]] [[ParentalIncest with sobbing child telling you to stop]], making it all too easy to imagine them being said to actual abusive parents and imediately triggering parental/maternal instincts in player.

*** Go ahead. Just try and take the ears off.

-->''"What can I do with this one, Aphrodite? She [[PunctuatedForEmphasis WON'T! (STAB!) STAY! (STAB! and TWI-I-I-ST!) STILL!!!]] I wanna make them beautiful, but they always turn out WRONG! ''That'' one, too ''fat'', this one, too ''tall'', THIS one, too [[OhCrap symmetrical]]! And now... what's this, goddess? An intruder! He is ''ugly!'' (Pulls out Thompson) ''UGLY! UGLY! [[RainOfArrows UGLY!!!]]'' Look at you! HIDEOUS!"''

*** Although, a good measure of NightmareRetardant can be found in the comments of that video. [[spoiler:He speaks [[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo whale]]!]]
*** Which is what was ''intended''. Guess what you hear the first time you see a Big Daddy, and what comes swimming along?

** [[spoiler: According to a conversation between Anna/Elizabeth and [=DeWitt=]/Comstock in [[VideoGame/BioshockInfinite Burial at Sea: Episode-1]],not only did Sander Cohen routinely sell orphaned little girls to Fontaine and Su-Chong to serve as lab rats, he also marketed them to pedophiles.]]

** Then how does Jack make human like sounds after the conversion?
*** The process goes something like this: Foul-smelling pheromones are applied to the candidate, and the voice box is modified. Then the skin and organs are removed and grafted inside a huge diving suit. Meanwhile, the candidate is immersed in a yellow substance that keeps them alive, but reduces their mental capabilities. They're then taken out and sealed inside the suit. Gene splicing and plasmids give them enhanced strength and agility, while the suit maintains life support, protection, and allows them to survive in the depths of the ocean. They no longer have any sense of free will.

* When you finally get to meet [[spoiler: Andrew Ryan]]. Someone mumbling 'A man... chooses... a slave... obeys... OBEY!' through a shattered jaw with half their face a broken mess whilst [[spoiler:you pummel them with a golf club]] is definitely nightmare fuel.

* Right at the start of Olympus Heights: [[spoiler:CODE YELLOW]]. Not only do you slowly lose health over time from it, but the description of "[[spoiler:telling your brain to tell your heart to stop beating]]" is just absolutely terrifying.

** That's not all. Earlier, in Suchong's Apartment, you actually find the corpses of little girls on a couch.

** And if you think their appearance is creepy, you should be thankful they didn't went with [[http://images.wikia.com/bioshock/images/8/8a/Clittlesister.png THIS]] design for the final product.

** [[PapaWolf If you get close to the Little Sister, they'll push the little girl behind them, and start up that giant drill]]. Especially terrifying after you've seen how fast Bouncers can move, and what they can do to people with that drill. And the pushing behind... is it because of the fear that there's something like a human mind in that armored shell? That to the terrified Little Sister, ''you're'' the monster and Mr. Bubbles is the good guy? Or is it just the completely natural terror that comes along with realizing that pushing Little Sister to safety will immediately lead into mutilating your body with that drill/rivet gun? Probably a little bit of both, mostly the former. Like ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'' after it, this game seems to subvert traditional ideas about video game bosses. Big Daddies seem to be one of the few "honorable" characters (or character sets) in the [=BioShock=] universe, but if you don't kill them, you don't get ADAM, and thus you have a harder time surviving. Though that would make an [[VideoGameCaringPotential interesting]] SelfImposedChallenge, because you (probably) only have to defeat one for the sake of story.

* An unintentional one, but due to a glitch in the ragdoll physics, occasionally a splicer's limb will continue to move after they've been killed. Their wrist or ankle will rock back and forth and only a few whacks with the wrench can get them to stop. With the number of splicers playing dead BEFORE you run into them, can you even be sure the ones you put down are actually dead...?

* Peach Wilkins is very creepy. Aside from the paranoia, he seemed fairly sane, and later on, it turned out he was ''right''. His whole aura and his mannerisms were rather creepy as well, as was his whole freezer area. And his boss fight is hard as until you remember Telekinesis.

*** "Jesus loves me, this I know. For the Bible tells me so..."

** Also, a lot of the people coming to Rapture were actors, poets and musicians. No wonder they're lousy fighters. But there sure are a lot of them...

* Ever thought about the Splicers being kind of weak? About how a quick stun and one well-aimed wallop with the wrench to the head takes a lot of them out? ''Welcome to real life.''

** The lighthouse is spooky as Hell, but what else is Jack gonna do? He has to swim toward the bizarre building or drown. And if he was an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Call_of_Cthulhu avid reader]], he'd be downright terrified. Equally creepy is when someone on the [[http://somethinginthesea.com/home.html surface]] discovers it too.
