15 Scary Forests in Video Games

The Red Forest – S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

Arguably the most dangerous place in the Zone, The Red Forest is distinguished by its red colored leaf trees. You’ll learn to fear it due to the Brain Scorcher, who’s emits psi-emissions turn people into zombies (resulting in several zombie Stalkers roaming the area). The immense amount of radiation also makes it difficult to traverse safely, to say nothing of the Bloodsuckers and snipers apparent. When approaching the Brain Scorcher’s antennas, strange visions may appear before the player like hallucinations because clearly things weren’t spooky enough.
