F.E.A.R. 2 trailer proves children are creepy

Let's face it. Kids are scary. Think about it. We tell them stories about cooking witches in ovens, tell them that cribs belong in trees and that the babies therein inevitably come tumbling down. Is it any wonder that they wind up so damned creepy? Just think of all the horror movies that use children*. The latest trailer for F.E.A.R. 2 -- which highlights that the game is now actually called F.E.A.R. 2 -- showcases lots of nasty monsters and sweet weapons, but we were particularly struck by Alma, the super creepy girl antagonist. More specifically, we were struck by her whispering "You can't hide from me" at the end of the trailer.

Now, if you'll excuse us, it's time to hide.

That short glimpse of a hospital corridor after the doctor says "You'll feel a slight pinch" are the same corridors from the hospital on Condemned 2.
Yeah, I know they are both Monolith, but that looks just lazy.

I remember REALLY liking the first F.E.A.R., and now that Monolith is back behind the helm, I'm actually really looking forward to this one!

Trailer looks OMG WHAT WAS THAT!?!?! crap-your-pants-tastic!

I really liked F.E.A.R. I thought it was a great supernatural thriller FPS.

The trailer makes the sequel look like Doom3 in a hospital ward. I think the overall creepiness will be completely lost.

Seeing and hearing the occasional "ghost-like" girl: creepy.

Dark corridors with monsters: been there, done that.

Never played the first one.......hopefully there will be a demo soon. Cool trailer but havent we seen enough trailers that set us up just to be disappointed?

I was going to say that The Shining proved children are scary long before video games could put a scare in ya. Based on your links though, you understand that as well. :)

lol, I love the "don't click this" line attached to the children link. Nice touch. Sadly, I didn't heed your advice and saw scary scary things. Note to self-Next time, listen to Richard.
