The elevator part with Alyx was freaky as hell to me also in Ep 1. It didn't help that the first time I got to the cable car in Ravenholm, I fell off the building when I tried to jump in so I had to run ALL the way back around with a whole bunch of those buggers chasing me and sounding horrifying the entire way. The howling of the fast zombies makes a chill go up my spine, and I hate how you can hear them chomping at the bit as they are running toward you.or when they reach you and rear back and do that creepy ass growling sound.hearing the pipes clanging as they climb to the top of them.lol it creeps me out just thinking about it now.UGH. Ravenholm scares the hell out of me every time lol.I hate horror movies. I didn't have any trouble with this level from a gamplay point of view, but it is a nicely conceived and executed level.

It's about being surrounded by shadows and hidden enemies, while screaming, moaning, burning people with giant parasites on their heads stagger around shrieking in pain, and your only ally is a psychotic freak who thinks he is a preacher and spends his days inventing gruesome deathtraps for victims of the apocalypse. The fear on this level has nothing to do with its difficulty. Those of you who play FPS games a lot have developed an immunity to ambience. Top this off with the twist that the first objective in the level is to meet the priest at the church. It's deliberately designed to look like a scene from hell. Early in the level, you come around the corner and see him high up in his window, with the courtyard filled with flames and burning zombies. The ambient noise echoes nicely, and the voice of the priest calling out is tailored to work on anyone with some church in their upbringing.
