Scrabs were the main thing to stop me from finishing the game when I was young. I got up to Scrabania, then just stopped because I was too frightened by them. Then I lost the discs in a move and didn't play it again until my first eBay purchase at sixteen years old.
At that point, everything still scared the crap out of me, but in a perfect way. The way that makes you yell at the screen and shit yourself a bit when you're being chased by pretty much anything in the game. Slogs and Scrabs, I think, are the most initially frightening, however some of the scariest moments are when that second Paramite webs down out of no-where. In no other game, ever, have I been so compelled to just run the fuck away without putting any thought to where. Just away.
So that's why it's my favourite game of all time, anyway.
