4	''VideoGame/{{Granny}}'' may be another low-quality indie SurvivalHorror game, but it has plenty of things that can send chills down your spine as much as a professional horror game does. Some people will admit that ''Granny'' is scarier than ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys''.

10	* The opening cutscene in the original version was just a scene of granny hitting the player with a bat in a forest, [[{{Narm}} which was more funny than scary]]. The remake version, however, is much more terrifying; The player character is walking through the woods, and comes across an old abandoned house. They then question what it's doing there, and who lives in there. Cue [[JumpScare the camera suddenly switching]] to Granny, twitching rapidly, and ''Way too close too the screen''. The scene then changes to the player in Granny's house, with [[NothingIsScarier no indication of what Granny did to the player]]. It doesn't help that the entire thing is done in a "Found footage" style.
11	* [[BigBad Granny]] herself is this. She is a HumanoidAbomination resembling a zombie who enjoys abducting lost people, locking them up in her house for a few days (and [[CrazyPrepared doing whatever]] to keep them within there), and then finally killing them in [[CruelAndUnusualDeath a cruelly twisted fashion]] and [[ImAHumanitarian eating their remains]]. She [[SuperSenses hears every sound you make]] and leaves {{Bear Trap}}s in your path, [[ParanoiaFuel keeping you on your tippy toes]]. You can always try to kill her, [[NighInvulnerability but she'll get up back again.]]
12	** Suddenly being turned to Granny or [[HopeSpot her opening the closet and chest you're in]] and whacked by her will [[JumpScare make you jump out of your seat]]. Hiding under the bed in her sight and then her getting down to the floor and lunging at you [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/granny/images/c/ca/FewHalfHawaiianmonkseal-max-1mb.gif/revision/latest?cb=20180708190251 isn't better]], complete with a loud bloodcurdling scream.
13	** In the remake, she's even more terrifying, as now she has a perpetual SlasherSmile, MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily, BlackEyesOfEvil, and makes eerie, inhuman-sounding creaking noises while she walks. And don't get us started on [[SensoryAbuse the new jumpscare]].
14	* The fact that you're in a creepy [[TheAllegedHouse Alleged House]] does not help, along with the haunting ambience music. It's worse in the remake, as in the remake [[NothingIsScarier the only sounds that play]] are your footsteps, stuff dropping on the ground, and and Granny making creaking noises.
15	* When you've used up [[VideoGameLives all of your days]], then it's GameOver and you get one of these four unpleasant endings revealing what Granny ultimately does to you:
16	** [[https://youtu.be/gBHCE65pWHk?t=31 You are thrown into the basement by Granny]], knocked out, wake up later panting, and [[JumpScare suddenly meet Granny lunging at you]] (pictured above), implied to [[ImAHumanitarian be eating you]] ''[[EatenAlive alive]]''. [[https://youtu.be/OGnUWXk1MD8?t=27 The older version]] is more intense with [[PsychoStrings deranged music]] courtesy of ''Film/{{Insidious}}''.
17	** [[https://youtu.be/oKnqVum-4gc?t=32 You wake up in the backyard]] and find out you are strapped to a guillotine with Granny besides you. After staring at you, [[OffWithHisHead she pulls the lever and releases the blade]].
18	** [[https://youtu.be/Y1Q2FUorAjg?t=43 You find yourself stuck in the garage]] and face a car in front of you with Granny operating. She waves goodbye to you, goes back in reverse, then drives [[CarFu straight towards you and CRASH!]] You can hear her EvilLaugh when the "Game Over" message pops up.
19	** [[https://youtu.be/ba6VSFnMet4?t=28 You are held captive]] by Granny in the attic, standing just near the unstable flooring. After a few turns and looks, she slaps and pushes you through the flooring, [[CruelAndUnusualDeath dropping your head into a bear trap]].
20	* While Granny's [[YouDirtyRat rats]] and [[CreepyCrows crow]] aren't that scary, her GiantSpider [[SpidersAreScary should]]. Unlike the other pets, which only stun you and alert Granny, the spider can knock you out, adding in more ParanoiaFuel. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/granny/images/1/11/Newspider.png/revision/latest?cb=20181212023446 Its grotesque brown recluse/huntsman spider look]], skinny legs, and [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] are not pretty, though [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/granny/images/1/13/1.5.png/revision/latest?cb=20181130120924&format=original its previous tarantula look]] happens to be [[NightmareRetardant adorable]].
21	* Around the house, you can find signs of Granny's ''previous captive''. Blood splatters abound and a few {{Bloody Handprint}}s hint their struggle with Granny, for starters. [[ApocalypticLog Messages]] ("HELP", "Leave this house", "FIVE DAYS", and 5 tally marks) from them are left, the first two [[CouldntFindAPen being written in blood]]. And their final note, also written in blood:
22	--> This is my fifth day in this house. She chases me wherever I go. I'm quite injured and my body hurts. The only thing I remember before I woke up in this house is that I was driving when my car suddenly broke down. I went out to see what the problem when someone suddenly hit me in the head. I have managed to open a pair of locks on the front door but that's all. Why does she do this? I hope no one will experience the same thing as I do. If I do not survive and if someone find this message [[DyingClue I have noticed that she sometimes hide things inside fruits.]]
23	** The large puddle of blood in the CreepyBasement can be inferred to be where the victim laid. The skeleton in the secret room can also be inferred to be their remains.
24	* As an EasterEgg, the ghost of Slendrina's Mother can be found [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/granny/images/4/4a/Screenshot_20180823-122534.png/revision/latest?cb=20180823123939&format=original chained to the wall in front of a book pedestal]], which can look freaky.
25	* If you don't find the game to be nightmare-inducing, then try and turn on the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin appropriately-titled]] [[AdjustableCensorship Nightmare option]]. The house looks like it has been [[{{Gorn}} flooded with gallons and liters of blood]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvn7LI-ma9w the ambience amps up the horror]], Granny takes on a rotten zombie appearance, and the bear traps look {{organic\|Technology}} for once, screech, and are implied to be ''alive''. PsychoStrings play when Granny is chasing you and you are thrown in a ScareChord when she hits you. Disturbing.
26	----
27	''Granny: Chapter Two'' doesn't double down on the nightmare fuel also:
28	* In fact, the game doubles ''up''! You can double the trouble by adding in another enemy: Grandpa. Fortunately, Grandpa cannot hear well (only responding to certain noises), but he is much stronger than Granny.
29	* Granny and Grandpa keep an IronMaiden in the house, with its threatening spikes. While you can knockout Granny and Grandpa back, they'll serve you back in a GameOver painfully.
30	* The Sewer Monster, an [[TentacledTerror octopus]]-like AnimalisticAbomination. With strangely only three tentacles, a lamprey-like mouth, and a big {{Cyclops}} eye in the middle, it resembles a Lovecraftian monster. Wade into the sewer unluckily and it will be happy to eat you. Granny and Grandpa may also feed you to the Sewer Monster if you waste your 5 days.
31	* The Child of Slendrina, an EnfantTerrible HumanoidAbomination whose body [[BodyHorror uncannily resembles]] that of a spider and likes to eat meat, especially '''[[ImAHumanitarian YOU]]'''. If you use your 5 days, Granny and Grandpa [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-NU5obcxt4 may serve you to the Child]].
