Warning: Gore

So I was on the Nightmare Fuel Page for UntilDawn, and the image just doesn't make any sense. Take a look:

Boom. Butterfly effect.

Normally I say that images aren't that bad but there are just better ones out there, like I can understand why it was chosen, but seriously, how is this scary? Especially when this game is filled with saw-like death traps, and cannibal monsters that rip people apart.

There are many images in the game that could work but here are my four picks along with captions:

This mountain belongs to the Wendigo.

Explanation: Showing a Wendigo in full, quote said by The Stranger describing the Wendigo and Blackwood Mountain, the game's main setting.

Don't. Move.

Explanation: This scene has a mechanic where if you move the controller you die instantly, it is extremely tense, quote said by Mike after he sees the Wendigo about to attack and kill everyone.

"First, the Wendigo, he'll render you immobile. And then he strips the skin off of your entire body, piece by piece. And then he keeps you alive and aware and feasts on your organs, one piece at a time."

Explanation: One of the most brutal deaths in the entire game, not to mention a closeup on The Wendigo's face, which other deaths don't have. Quote said by The Stranger when he describes what the Wendigo does to its victims.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hallucination.jpg

Explanation: Josh is a schizophrenic who has been misdiagnosed with depression, this leads to him never getting the help he needs and having a complete breakdown after his sisters die. He hallucinates the two of them as zombies, and the quote is what they say to him.

Those are all my choices, but do tell if you find any better ones.

1.2 > 1.3 > 1.1 > 1.4 (not including the current in the OP)

Here's 1.2 slightly less zoomed in if you'd prefer:

1.2 is the clear winner, the other ones are either too dark or don't make sense without context.

EDIT: [up][up] Rather poor quality, 1.2 is still better.

Good enough. 1.2's in and tagged; locking up. Not reposting the old pic since it's in the OP.
