00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're counting down our picks for the Top 10 Creepy Areas

00:15Hidden in Video Games.

00:24For this list, we'll be looking at the scariest sections that are hidden in popular video

00:28games.

00:29Have you ever stumbled across these areas?

00:42The Ghost – Hitman Contracts

00:50We know the Hitman series is full of death, but we never expected an actual ghost.

00:55A creepy spectral figure can be found in the traditions of the table level of Hitman

00:59Contracts, which takes place inside an extravagant hotel.

01:03One of the doors near the main entrance bears a sign reading, Hotel Wing Closed.

01:08Some players may read that sign and simply be on their way, but they would miss out on

01:12a wonderful – and wonderfully creepy – secret.

01:21If the player picks the lock, they will be met with a creepy darkened wing of the hotel

01:25and the hotel's resident ghost.

01:27If this proves too scary, rest assured you can simply kill the specter with a fiber wire.

01:36The Cavemen – Halo 3

01:42The Halo franchise is full of easter eggs, including the somewhat creepy family of cavemen.

01:48They can be found in the opening level, Sierra 117, and they are accessed by climbing a series

01:53of rock outcrops.

01:54These guys aren't really scary in and of themselves, and they don't attack the player.

01:58But just imagine coming across this little family and not knowing that they were there.

02:06It would certainly raise a ton of questions, and maybe a reflexive shot or two.

02:10Funnily enough, this easter egg actually started out as a prank.

02:13Bungie employees photoshopped the face of Marcus Leto onto a gorilla and spread the

02:17image around as an internal email.

02:20The Leto-gorilla hybrid then made its way into the game as a cute in-joke.

02:27Hell – Tony Hawk's Underground 2

02:36We love it when a good game finishes and then rewards you with even more game.

02:40It's the gift that keeps on giving.

02:42After beating Tony Hawk's Underground 2, the game opens up a secret bonus level called

02:46Pro Skater.

02:47This level consists of three sub-levels, a space station with aliens, a Mayan complex

02:51with skateboarding Mayans, and hell.

02:54Yes, hell.

03:02This area is about as creepy as Tony Hawk would ever get, with ghostly figures and red

03:06demons wandering about.

03:08There are also menacing statues, lots of lava, racks of bones, and even a dancing Satan.

03:14It's all quite cartoonish, but it's one bizarre way to end a skateboarding game.

03:25The Mountaintop Observatory – Bioshock Infinite

03:36Maybe there's a universe somewhere where the Mountaintop Observatory was in the game

03:40itself.

03:41Yes, it is not our universe, but that doesn't mean it isn't accessible.

03:45Near the end of the game, Elizabeth and Booker will explore a series of interdimensional

03:49lighthouses.

03:50If the player hacks the camera during this section, they can fly through the level and

03:54access what seems to be a piece of cut content.

04:03A large, snow-capped mountain hovers in the sky, and it's topped with an isolated observatory.

04:09If players enter the observatory, they will fall into a void of noise and nothingness,

04:13which only adds to the area's deeply unsettling nature.

04:23Minus World – Super Mario Bros.

04:30This famous glitch appeared in the 100th issue of Nintendo Power, which only increased its

04:35popularity and legacy.

04:37And to be honest, we don't know how people find these things.

04:40Players access Minus World through World 1-2, and it requires a ton of patience, not to

04:45mention a few precise moves.

04:47If successful, players will be rewarded with a very surreal glitch.

04:51Mario will float through the wall and be deposited in World-1, hence its creepy name, Minus World.

05:03This is a mirror of World 7-2, only with an eerily floating Princess Peach and no physical

05:09way out.

05:10The only way to escape this alternate-dimension hellscape is to get a game over or reset the

05:14console.

05:19The Ratman Dens – Portal and Portal 2

05:30Valve sure knows how to make a mean video game.

05:33They always know how to swirl away some fascinating secrets within said games.

05:37The Portal series makes for great puzzle-based entertainment, but it's also steeped in heavy

05:41lore.

05:42A schizophrenic scientist named Doug Ratman was the only survivor of GLaDOS' purge, and

05:47he hid himself away in various dens.

05:49These hidden dens can be found throughout the series, and they make for quite the harrowing

05:53experience.

06:00They are often littered with peculiar drawings and curious texts, not to mention a few pleas

06:05for help.

06:06Even scarier, one den in Portal 2 is soundtracked by the eerie musical piece, Ghost of Ratman,

06:11in which listeners can hear faint pieces of the scientist rambling to himself.

06:21The Ghost Room – Call of Duty Finest Hour

06:31Ironically enough, Finest Hour is far from Call of Duty's finest hour, but it may just

06:35have its finest easter egg.

06:37It can be found in the level Underground Passage, which takes place during the Battle of Aachen.

06:42If the player throws grenades at a specific locked door, they will be taken down a dark

06:45hallway to the Ghost Room.

06:54This is a circular area with floating candles, an enormous rat, disturbing pictures of children,

06:59and even the spirit of a little boy who simply floats around with a blank stare.

07:03One of the characters calls the room one of the creepiest things he's ever seen.

07:08We have to agree with him.

07:14The Statue's Heart – Grand Theft Auto IV

07:23Rockstar has littered the Grand Theft Auto franchise with many iconic easter eggs, but

07:27they're mostly of the fun or hilarious variety.

07:30This one is ripped straight out of a surreal nightmare.

07:33The Statue of Happiness stands in for the Statue of Liberty, and it bears a very strong

07:37resemblance to Hillary Clinton.

07:39And, like Clinton, it has a human heart.

07:42Yes, the statue has a heart, and it is astoundingly creepy.

07:52To access the secret, players need to fly a helicopter to the upper platform and enter

07:57a door that bears the iconic sign, No Hidden Content This Way.

08:01Simply enter the door, climb a ladder, and you'll be met with the unforgettable sight

08:05of a massive beating heart suspended by chains.

08:14The Dam – Shadow of the Colossus

08:16It's always fun to see what got cut from a specific game.

08:28Sometimes those cut sections were axed completely, but sometimes they remain in some small form,

08:32showcasing a potential of what could have been.

08:36The Beta Dam is an almost mythical location in Shadow of the Colossus, and it was reached

08:39in 2009 by a forum user called Picole.

08:42The dam is an empty piece of removed content and the leftover of earlier beta iterations

08:46of the game.

08:54To this day, no one really knows what the purpose of the dam is, but we do know that

08:58it is incredibly discomforting.

09:00The dam is enormous, elegant, and ultimately empty, like a long-abandoned piece of grand

09:05architecture.

09:06You can practically hear the ghosts.

09:14The Karazhan Crypt – World of Warcraft

09:23Way back in the vanilla World of Warcraft days, players would enter a secret location

09:27known as the Karazhan Crypt, which was only accessed by turning into a ghost or clipping

09:32through a gate.

09:33This is a very perturbing area filled with disturbing sights.

09:36There's a massive well, an enormous pile of corpses, and most infamously of all, the

09:41bloated, upside-down sinners that are floating in some water.

09:49It was later revealed that Blizzard had planned on including this section in the game itself,

09:53but ultimately decided against it.

09:55Instead, it became a famous part of WoW lore and arguably the creepiest hidden area in

10:01the history of gaming.
