It's mostly the screams and the noises after that send chills down my spine.
When I was 6, Andross from StarFox 64 scared the crap out of me.
Last year, me and 2 friends were playing Condemned 1, at 1 AM, during a thunderstorm, in the middle of October. My friend's mother came in and was interested. Me and my friends kept switching and those not playing were trying to explain the first half of the game. All the stuff happening outside really contributed to the mood. It was like watching a horror movie.

Oh Yeah! I forgot all about that game! That was great fun...ABLb0y said:
... oh yeah! Back on topic...
I think Amnesia takes the cake for my personally... That Water Horror part...
*shivers*
Me either. I mean it startled me several times, and had a creepy atmosphere, but not nearly the level of scary that it was made out to be by friends and reviews. I had people telling me they couldn't play it for more than 30 mins at a time because it was so scary. Really? I played it for four hours straight the other day and I was fine. Once I became accustomed to how to deal with the enemies, it was a breeze.MrMuttonChops said:
I think the problem with any survival horror game is the ability to MAINTAIN the same level of scariness throughout the entire game. It's very hard to keep someone consistently scared with the same frights. I always get accustomed to them by the halfway point of a game at least, and from there on out it's cake.
I will say that the single most terrifying sequence I've played in a game was the first time I played the hotel escape in Call of Cthulhu. However, it is a very linear sequence completely dependent on exact moves and timing, so I died a bunch of times, and after you play through the same sequence over and over and over, it loses it's touch.
oh, looks like I'm seconding this thenFightgarr said:
Condemned: Criminal Origins was able to keep a pretty consistent level of scariness for me throughout the whole game. It wasn't super-intense, but even levels towards the end, like the Farmhouse had me on-edge just as much as I was when I first started the game.

ummmmm, i didn't play many horror games until i played through we don't go to ravenholm in halflife 2 and that made me nearly shit myself with the lighting and the head couples. just made my guts flip. so i, without a shadow of a doubt, was scared stupid when i played amnesia dark descent (yes, i am only now getting into present day games because most of them are copy pasted dirty diapers.).
I like how after you go down that staircase and jump down all those holes you still end up on the surfaceMiracleOfSound said:
OT: The farmhouse level in Condemned. That was terrifying and awesome at the same time. Oh and the already-been-mentioned hotel chase in CoCDCoT.
EDIT: In Condemned 2 I was waiting the entire level to see that bear with half it's head blown off still attacking me.
Crash Nitro Kart and L4D 2nd DLC both scared me shitless because I had a precognitave dream about them. Both came true. I dreamnt about the clock level in CNK and it turned out to be exactly the same when the game came out.

Sorry but these F*ckers scared me witless for 2 years until I gathered up enough courage to play the game again.
BEHOLD YOUR BIGGEST FEARS!!!
Clock tower 2, when I didn't understand how to fight back or use the environment at first. Yeah I just kind of ran around scared shitless until I had to stop playing for a few months. Wasn't scary when I figured out the mechanics, but that general helpless feeling is about as scary as it gets.
Hehehehe watching my friend play that was scary enough. But the scariest one in my opinion was Black Plague because the beginning just throws you right into it......GOD THEY'RE SO UGLY!!Senaro said:
