In all sandbox games i'm afraid that someowne will loot chateau de Raiin. That's why i download mods with unconquerable, hard to find, hard to enter custom abodes. 
Timed missions. If you give me a visible timer I am sure to fuck everything up because I'm under pressure and it's awful.
Also water levels in FPS games, the shark bits in HL1 terrified me. Then in Opposing Force there was an entire underwater area. So scaet.

cloudy water where you can't see very far.
The most terrifying level for me was Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire; the sewer level. Its bad enough when you think there might be something approximately your size trying to get you, but the final boss is a huge tentacled monster. Nothing like seeing a giant tentacle rear up out of the murk to give you a phobia.
Hearing monsters when you can't see them.
Half-life's Ravenholm epitomized this. When you are on the rooftops and you the metal pipes clanking off the sides of the building. You knew that the fast zombies were coming for you but you didn't know where they would come from.

Dogs.
I'm not even afraid of dogs in real life and even own one myself. But when I see one of those fuckers or any of its relatives (like wolves) trying to kill me in games I get seriously freaked out.

Water enemies, which is why I refuse to play serious sam, the first time I played the sewer level I screamed and quit, it took me over 3 months to finish that one level so I ended up just cheating for that part so I could become invisible to the nasty Electro fish.

Quests similar to
"Fetch that book of the shelf I am standing in front of." Can't you get your own damn book? Like, seriously... writers need to do their job and not give us busy work all the time.

Crashes. I'm terrified of crashing and losing my progress or ruining a multiplayer game for my team.
And missing content. I'm almost OCD about completing all quests and killing all enemies.
Lastly losing. I hate losing. A lot. Or even winning but doing so poorly.

Water... I just hate it when the enemies can easily outmove you when swimming. Usually some killer fishies or so. Great example would be those electro fishes in Serious Sam or slaughterfish in Skyrim or Oblivion. Other speed maniac monsters probably count on that also as long as the terrain is not open enough for me to kill them from afar before they get too close.
For some reason playing Amnesia was a bit of disappointment to me. Heard it was a scary game. Friend has it. Asked me to play it... I was just running along everywhere with no worries at all while my friend was freaked out behind me just by watching me play XD
And just so you know. I'm really bad with horror movies and hate gore in movies maybe more than anything else. In gaming I don't mind neither (played through Bioshock 1 and 2, haven't tried Dead Space yet, going to get it someday though)

1-shot kills, I hate them so very much. Especially if they are unblockable attacks and/or are very hard to avoid. Example is the Dark Souls bush monster face noming. Get swarmed, get surprise hugged, get nomed, get dead.
Getting swarmed is another thing I hate and do what I can to avoid.
