Every boss from Demon's Souls.
This game is confusing. I want to play it all the time, but when I finally fight my way to a boss fight, I'm literally shivering with anticipation and fear of having to go back to the start of the level.

Fucking Voldo! Scariest game character ever. Once had a dream that he did that he just stood there and Michael Jackson moonwalked all night long....

Honorable Mention: Those exploding babies from Dead Space 2. I know they're easy to kill, but them coupled with the creepy nursery music scared me shitless.

Oh my God Penumbra Black Plague.
Sitting there for an hour crying 'go away' at the darkness.

These are my favorites here. They're all scary for different reasons:
Pyramid Head: The general idea of a man (?) with a giant rusty pyramid helmet grafted on to his head is creepy enough, but his state of invincibility and mysterious relations with the main character gives him another layer of menace. And, being chased down a long hospital hallway by him is also pretty intense and creepy.
The Grunt: The inability to defend yourself from the horrible mutants in Amnesia is scary enough, but this fear is multiplied by such horrific (in a good way) Monster design. Whoever designed this thing must either be a sick man or really really good at monster design. Seeing one of these running at me from down a hallway is truly horrifying. Well done, Frictional.
The Spider: LIMBO was already creepy enough, but when that spider shows up, everything goes to hell. It's practically a symbol of pure terror, and the fact that you can only see it's shadowy frame only makes it all the more terrifying.

Bloodsuckers from STALKER, the things that shoot poison head crabs in HL2, and vampires from Morrowind.
Those of you who say Creepers, are you 4? Oh no they destroy 4 blocks of your precious home.

Poison Zombies creep me out. The noises....
I think it's safe to say all insects in Fallout games.

Witches in Left4Dead.

The faint crying, growing louder...the swelling musical sting accompanying them...not to mention if you go near them or even LOOK at them with your flashlight on you set them off and they swiftly wreck your shit.

I can handle that game easy...but whenever I heard a witch's cry, I get hesitant to advance through outright FEAR of encountering it.

I'm surprised at how many people are scared of the headcrabs. I was absolutely fine during ravenholm. Also, the bloodsuckers don't scare me either.
OT: Err, I don't know. Puppets from Thief 3 have been mentioned. That whole level just terrified the fuck outta me. I don't remember any enemies that actually scared me. Oddly enough it seems that I don't really get scared by games.
