2. Laura – The Evil Within
Laura certainly knows how to make an entrance. The first time you encounter her in the criminally underrated
The Evil Within, she bursts out of the floor in a fountain of blood screaming the entire time. Somehow, her actual appearance is even scarier. This terrifying, multi-limbed abomination looks like the love child of a spider and one of the ghosts from
The Grudge.
When it’s time to fight her, she hits hard, teleports, and also has some of the highest health of any enemy in the game. Fire takes her down faster, but every time you set her aflame, she just starts screaming again. It’s rare for any horror game enemy to live up to its grotesque appearance, but somehow, the actual experience of fighting Laura is even more terrifying than her twisted visage.
