Resident Evil REmake
-The zombie that comes out of the closet. I honestly was not expecting a zombie to be in that room (forgot which one), but my god that fucking scared the shit out of me. Also, the first time the zombies would break in through the windows I started to run for it. Such an excellent game.
And those regenerators on Resident Evil 4. Every time I'd hear their screech thing ugh. They're really one of the scariest monsters in gaming for me because of the way they walk, the way they attack with it's spikes AND because of the screech. So fucking scary.

NOLF 2 arctic base, before and after the cutscene :lol Two entirely different forms of scary in 1 map.
Thief 3, The Cradle, fuck fuck fuck
Thief 1, Return to the Cathedral. You get locked inside an abandoned hammerite cathedral filled with zombies and ghosts and you require the aide of a dead guy to escape. It's very very creep and hard.
Resident Evil 2, FUCKING MIRROR.

Rayman 2, one of the best platforms in the PSX/N64/DC era, had one monster which I always found creepy beyond reason.

Necromorph that sneaks up on Isaac while he's using the upgrade bench.
Was playing Resident Evil Remake with a buddy and the first time a Zombie broke through the door of the bathroom we were in............holy fucking shit.
Plus we were playing in the dark so it just made it worse.
i had to stop playing RE4 on GCN for a few weeks after the fucking dogs in hedge maze were after me.
Also I stopped playing Eternal Darkness after the bathroom scene for about 3 weeks.

You walk down stairs into a flooded room filled with statues in weird poses. You see some stuff over in the corner by the window so you go over to check it out, once you've finished rooting around you turn around to leave the room and the statues have moved.. oh shit

Well, you know. There's this story about a kid that has a ten year older brother. The older brother's now 32, but going back to 1996 or 97 he got a game called Resident Evil. At this point the older brother was 18, so the younger brother was 8. The younger brother now has a theory that his brother didn't really dare play this game alone, but he really enjoyed the horror stuff so he pushed through it. How do you make a horror game less scary? You force your 8 year old brother to watch you play it.
At this time my parents pretty much would simply not let him do this when they caught onto what he was doing, but apparently half-dead guys lying in hallways, zombies waiting around the corner and dogs leaping through windows even in small doses puts a scar on a 8 year old's mind.
Then came RE2.
This time the younger brother was 10. Being more or less forced to watch, the younger brother today knows pretty much how the entire game goes down with both characters. Lickers crawling past windows and jumping through one-way mirrors. Suffice it to say, one thing would be chosing to play this game your own free will, at this point the younger brother was scared by FFVII, play it alone. That first reactor was creepy! He'd jump every time an encounter started, so RE2 was a bit too much for this guy.
The younger brother was me.
I've never been the bravest when it came to horror when I was a kid, and this didn't really help. Over the last years, I've been trying to get myself to play stuff like Silent Hill and FEAR. FEAR I actually enjoyed, because it was more about atmosphere than trying to stratle the player. I hate being startled. I blame a certain dog and a certain licker and certain hands through the windows for that.
So, I've managed to start stomach stuff like Silent Hill. I might even have grown a certain appetite for such games and such atmospheres. But Resident Evil? I can't even being to play it. That's my scariest gaming experience.
Scariest gaming moment?
Once, I was playing something on my PC, when I saw something on the side of my monitor. I wasn't playing anything scary, but when I saw this, I thought it was my cat that was sitting next to my computer monitor, so I leaned in to go like "oh, hey kitty" when a face just emerges from the dark, coming right at me. Turned out I had forgotten I'd put my small TV next to my monitor, and the face coming at me was the reflection of my own lit up by the computer screen. I've never been so scared. I was shaking for what felt like hours afterwards.

I can remember playing RE2 at a cousin's house when I was far too young to even watch it... Never got past the first truck level and never played it again. oh no no no.
The only horror game I've ever bought myself was RE4. Dogs, regenerators, random burning dude... the moments are common knowledge by now. The whole atmosphere was creepy, though.
From what I've Youtube'd, the Fatal Frame series looks like it would be the scariest thing in the world if you play it in the right (wrong?) environment.

Dead Space has been the scariest game i've played just based on the sound. So all of that.
REmake going into the shack with Lisa or whatever her name was. Freaked me the F out.
Dark Age of Camelot, leading my first relic defense. I wasn't used to leading that many people cause I was in a 8-man most of the time, but when i found everyone was actually listening to me I found that incredibly scary cause there was about 150 albs outside and everyone was asking me what to do. Scary in a different way.

Stumbling around the underground labyrinth in Silent Hill 2, completely lost, when
. Scared the shit out of me.
Also, in the DQ games, whenever a saved data gets corrupt it plays this really disturbing sound effect. Hated hearing that when I was little, especially since I knew what it meant.

Lots of good moment from Silent Hill, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil, Thief, Fatal Frame etc., but perhaps the most scary moment for me was when playing the original Shadow Man. At one point you're tasked with taking out a serial killer with a disturbing habit of cutting off the power to his victim's apartments and then play with them in the dark while wearing night vision googles (he even killed his own mom!).
The actual boss fight, obviously, had to take place in an abandoned apartment complex with no lights on. While searching for him, he would constantly tease you with creepy shouts; presuming that he knew your location, that he was about to come out and slit your throat and so on. It certainly didn't help that the area was a maze and filled to the brim with rotten corpses...

Back when the FEAR 2 demo was released I was highly anticipated for the full release so of course I went ahead and downloaded the demo asap. During the subway section there's a part where you're walking through a maintenance alley (best I can explain that) it's a short little area into the next train station but walking through a light goes out or flickers and I heard a faint whispering, and for some reason I felt like turning 180 degrees to look behind me. What I found was Alma standing directly behind me, vanishing. This scared the shit out of me. Shame I never experienced it again in the full game (the demo was parts of the game mashed together, not a direct cut out).

Not actually when playing the game, but after beating Silent Hill 2, I had to drive home at around 3 AM and there was an incredibly dense fog and not another car on the road for the entire 35-minute drive, nor were there any lights on in any buildings that I passed (and it was a route without streetlights either, just lit by my headlights and, I think, a sliver of moon).
My mind made me see things in that fog.

I can't think of any particular moment that really stands out but my first experience with surround sound gaming was RE4 and just walking around had my heart beating rapidly.

Sorry for the bump, but this was a good topic and I felt I should post this.
The Silent Hill games have freaked me out a lot, of course, but since I've played through the first two several times they've kind of lost some of their horror. But even though I've beaten SH2 four times, it just freaked me out enough to turn off the game.
I love Silent Hill 2.

So I was in the underwater labyrinth about an hour ago. Normally it's pretty easy since you can just take the first exit you see in each underground section and make it through. But at one point I took a wrong turn and ended up lost in one of the later underground room. I wandered around a little bit, heard some enemy footsteps, and got my weapon ready to kill a lying figure enemy as I turned a corner. But when I walked around that corner and turned around, Pyramid Head was right there. I had no idea he could appear randomly in the labyrinth outside of the room where you find his knife. I ran away and made it to a ladder, but the ladder took me to some dead end room. Realizing that in order to progress I'd have to go back down the ladder to some area I'd never seen with Pyramid Head wandering around, I just turned off the game and decided to restart the area.
I love Silent Hill 2.

Shadow Man is one of my most favorite games. The example you posted was definitly creepy, but the whole game had an incredibly eerie atmosphere and some fucked up imagery. The part which has stuck with me the most is definitely the area called "play rooms."
I won't go into details, I don't even want to talk about it. :lol All I will say is this: chainsaws+babies.
Playing Farm in Killing Floor used to scare me a few times with complete jump scares.

I still haven't bought the last 2 parts of the game, but the hospital level in Siren: Blood Curse scares the shit out of me. Not only does it just look and sound creepy, but playing as a defenseless child pushes the suspense through the roof. You don't have massive weapons to blow them all away, you have to sneak and hide or die.
Good stuff.

Two instances in Bioshock
The first has already been posted. Turn around and there is a fucking splicer.
The second one was in the beginning of the game, somewhere in the medical facility. You enter a room where are several splicer bodies. You just wander around looking for stuff and then at once one rises and starts to attack you. I yelled like a little girl.

Scariest gaming moment?
When Capcom abandoned gorgeous hand drawn art for hideous 3D shenanigans. Maybe some day they'll get it right, but presently it just hurts so bad.
Also making a sequel to SF2, and not really SF3. :|

Metroid Fusion - SA-X the time it actually destroys the room exposing you, I have never rushed away from something so fast in a game on my own with out being told to as I was at that moment.
Condemend - The entire ending section, the barn and the crazies chasing you, probably the best moment in a horror game ever.
Silent Hill SM - Not really scared but creeped out. Now must will tell you it isn't a scary game and while this is true the cicumstance in which I played it changed my outlook. I played it the day it launched but the thing is abou two weeks earlier my wife gave birth to our first daughter.
So the whole opening and all the way up to when you get a call from your daughter outside the hardware store creeped me out, and when that happened I just had to shut it off.

That regenerating monster from RE4. The noise it would make scared the shit out of me.
And everything REmake. I never played the game at nights. Even during the daytime, I would open up all the blinds. :lol
