Probably when me and my cousin were fighting one of the bosses in Red Dead Revolver, Pig Josh. Bear in mind we were about 12 at the time and there was pretty sinister music in the background. He had more health than we had ammo, and every so often he'd rush at us with dynamite strapped to himself to blow us into cowboy-shaped chunks.
Parts of Point Lookout, like the deserted pier (although that was designed to be creepy)and the Metro Tunnels of Fallout 3 got to me. The derelict Reaper in ME2 was haunting, especially after you learn who the Collectors first were. Also in a sort of "This is a terrible idea and I know everything here can and will kill me" sort of way, the Quarry Junction quarry next to Sloan in Fallout NV, as it was infested with Deathclaws D:
Like a bunch of people have already said, Fallout 3 Dunwich Building.
But some that I just thought of would have to be:
Endless Ocean 2, whenever you find one of those cursed idol things and go back to your boat, you get this email from an unknown address, saying that you're now cursed or something, and when you leave the cabin, the camera pans out around you and there's a text box. Can't remember what it said though...
Primordia, Towards the end of the game, when you think your character is essentially dead, hearing Logan Cunningham's voice doing a monotone is just disturbing. Because it isn't exactly a monotone, it still has SOME expression, but... just... damn.
A Valve game (Can't remember which), I started up a Valve game, I think L4D or L4D2, and the logo with the man with a valve in his head started to turn and look at me, before snapping back to his normal position. I had never noticed that before, and it seriously freaked me out.
Fallout: New Vegas, Ulysses. Bonus points because he was actually supposed to creep you out.

There is just something about big open world games where you find yourself in the middle of nowhere that creeps me out. Exploring the woods and fields in San Andreas at night with few weapons is really creepy. All the rumors about Bigfoot or lake monsters were obviously lies, but it really does feel uncomfortable, like something might jump out at you any second.
When I got to that point in the game I had eaten way too much sugar and drank cola and I was shaking like mad. My dad walked in suddenly and I fell off my bed in shock...MacNille said:
The first time I came across komodo dragons in Far Cry 3. I was hunting a pig through the jungle at night when I heard the hissing. I thought it was a snake until I started getting attacked. I couldn't see them but I could hear the hissing followed by an attack. I just started shooting at anything that moved until the hissing stopped and then looked around for the bodies to figure out what the hell just attack me. Of course all the gun fire attracted pirates soon after too. I hate komodo dragons.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - I'd been playing the game solid for a day, since about 9am (well, solid - bathroom breaks and grab snacks) so about five in the morning I'm nearing the end and the commander comes on the radio saying I've been playing the game too much and it's time to switch it off.
I was genuinely confused, I wasn't sure if I'd hallucinated it..

Chesty from Fable 2.
That crap was like... NOPE!!! nope nope nope.

That entire part of the game scared/confused the hell out of me the first time through.Sampler said:
I've mentioned it before. I was playing some 2D side scroller arcade game years ago, based on Japanese mythology I think. At the end if I believe the third level you fight a boss. After he takes so much damage Hua body falls apart, leaving you to fight this nightmare fuelish flying brain with bloody eye stalks *shivers*.
I'm not a person that scares easy, but in Twilight princess I had to play with a friend in the room because the Twilight Relm dungeon was too scary for me. I don't know if it was the music or that GIANT FREAKIN HAND but i couldnt do it.
Which is the only reason why I havent played that game twice. I can't.

Would it count if I bring up how I screamed like a little girl when I first saw a Super Mutant Overlord in Fallout 3's Broken Steel expansion?
If not, well, in Skyrim I did bump into some Dragons that somehow didn't have their textures fully loaded (and this is the Xbox 360 version I'm talking about), I dreaded having to up close to those things.

guild wars 2. the town by the floating castle. talking to the npcs in the town just gives an ominous and eerie feeling, like something sinister is going on and that its only a matter of time before everything goes to hell. im really hoping they do something with this town later and that it isnt just a nod to fans of the first game. given that the castle is on the map and they developed a sort of story for the town, relating to the castle, i have to assume it will come in to play eventually. i would love to see it become a significant part of the story
