Mayhap I've played too many video games, but all I could see was a Fiend from Witcher 3 that had taken a wrong turn through the world of Bloodborne... so yeah, it was pretty cool.
Nice! I haven't played that game, but I've been meaning to, so here's to that happening in the near future.

I'm trying to think of a movie where you never really see the entire moster/beast. The less you see, the scarier it gets, imo. The only one I can think of is The Blair Witch Project, which was scary at the time because you never saw what the witch looked like. The original Alien movie did a good job of showing as little as possible while building tension as well, or the devil in Rosemary's Baby (which I think is only a close up of his eyes..?). Anyways, the unknown is more scary, unless the creature is really disturbing or uncanny in other ways (sound, movement/demeanor etc). Your own imagination is often a more effective tool for scaring you than someone else's imagination, I find. It's like slowly sticking your hand into a dark room through the crack of a door at night. Your mind starts creating all sorts of hellish images and scenarios.
