The Cradle is by far the most creepy place. I had played it at night, home alone, all lights out. The hair on my hands was shaking in fear after several minutes inside the cradle. By the end it was breathtaking. That is art. I guess all three Thief games had some scary missions. Worths every second spent playing.

The Cradle in TDS.
And then there was the Cradle.
Last, but not least; the Cradle.
I've had the urge to replay TDS several times, but refuse to play that game again because I know I'll end up in (you guessed it!) the Cradle.
And no, I'm no wuss; I just don't like spooky, creepy things in the games I play. Give me adversaries I can pierce with my various arrows, slash with my sword, blackjack, or blow up. Imho, this does not include haunts, zombies, vampires, or ghosts. But I'm no candy-ass or fraidy-cat and don't forget it.

Cradle didn't scare. Only thing that made me jump, [SPOILER]was going up to the attic, the knock at the door, more of a startle than anything[/SPOILER]
Still entertaining mind you, but it didn't make me shit my pants like it did for other people. Guess you could say I embrace the undead, like they embrace me.
It is very hard to come up with anything new these days, so many games out there now. Been there, done that.

the idea of thief is to be sneaky amd stealthy :P Just Play the Cradle the same way and its not that hard a level, the first time through it saced me just for the nosies they made :erm: allways heariing but never seeing them. soon as you work out where they are and know where you want to be its not so bad :)

I still get the bad goosebumps in the baby room in 7th Crystal. I know the audio is coming, but it still gets me every time.
Also very very permanent stains on my chair from The Cradle.

The hammer haunts always freak me out a little. They should have gotten more game time than just "Return to the Haunted Cathedral".
The zombies were slow, you could fly past them, but the haunts were great swordsmen and patrolled very quickly. The dragging chains sound was unsettling.

first time i played it, i played classic theif style, had no idea if there were undead or whatnot walkin around so the first half i walked around in total sneak mode, never running, totally listening to each and every noise, freaky as shit, i litterally fliped like 30 times in that mission, after you started to see the zombies n such i had no idea that flashbombs would kill em so i kinda just ended up running n hiding, took me 2hrs to beat that lvl, went back n replayed it, found out about flashbombs, lost all the scaryness to the mission, but the first time though scared the ever loving shist outa me. best mission in any game that has scared me so much

I disagree. What made it so scary was that there was hardly any of them. Guards were scary at first, but after a while you just laugh at them because you're used to them. Haunts (in the OMs at least) remain a rare and terrifying encounter which makes them much scarier imo. Now that 10million fan missions chuck haunts at you, they're not so scary.
Having said that, I wish they'd put more treebeast in Thief 2 - now that was the scariest bit of Thief 2 and it could have done with being a little bit longer (but not by much!)

I thought so too, at least until I played "The Inverted Manse":eww:
