The scariest part of System Shock 2 for me is the medical level with
the monkeys.  You know they're there because of there screeching, but
because they're so small they can be hard to spot even when they're
straight ahead of you standing in the open.  Their psionic blasts hit
hard so they can easily kill you if they get the jump on you.

It still unnerves me when I hear monkey screeching in some other game
or a TV show.
