5. Five Nights At Freddy

five nights at freddy's one of the top most terrifying Minecraft maps

Five Nights at Freddy is undisputed and one of the best horror games to ever be made. The game that had made many of us scream and get phobia with stuffed toys, and have our heartbeat touch the roof. Well, the notoriously scary game was added into Minecraft by Reather, a fan of both Minecraft and FNAF and to no surprise, this map instantly became a hit. If you are into horror maps then you should definitely give this map a try. It is a fully functioning FNAF map while the creator says the map might face severe lags but that depends on your processing system and something that is not in his control.

This is amongst the most downloaded horror maps in Minecraft that’s we took this into the list of most terrifying Minecraft maps.

Note that at the very beginning when you load the map you might face something that you would expect is a crash or that Minecraft froze but that is not the case and it is just the resource pack that is trying to play the first sound

Granny is also another really popular horror game and it has been recreated in Minecraft as well. Well, what can’t be made in Minecraft :P.

You are in a house and get chased by Granny. She is weak with eyes but very sharp with her ears and very fast with her feet indeed. Your goal is to locate and destroy the endermite. There is a series of puzzles that you need to solve to free yourself and if you do not complete them within 5 days then the granny will chop your head off. Be cautious since some of the tools have very specific uses.

Note that the Vindicator is “Granny”

For the cherry on top, you might witness Herobrine in this map as well.
