I've had awkward moments in Mass Effect. Sometimes Garrus or Tali would follow Shepard literally on his back. Really, really close to him. Hawkward~

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - The Missing Link DLC
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is emphatically NOT a horror game. Yet, the Missing Link DLC disturbed me much moreso than many other horror games I've played.
There's a lot in Human Revolution that can serve as a cautionary tale, and quite a lot of serious themes are explored throughout the game. Many events and goings-on in the game were scary and intimidating to think about. But the entirety of the Missing Link DLC went beyond all that, and reached levels of horrifying.
The grimness began to sink in to me once I reached the prison area. I didn't think much of it at first, but as I began working my way through the floors, the more I started to realize what was going on.
The prison was full of perhaps over a hundred innocent people arrested for being "belligerents" (ie. violent protesters) when many of the prisoners claimed to have never actually taken part in any sort of protest, and were law abiding citizens.
That whole situation scares the hell out of me. Imagine being arrested off the streets for doing something you never actually did, and never being seen again?
As if that wasn't bad enough. The picture starts getting uglier once you meet this woman:
It was wrenching hearing everything she had to say, and knowing I couldn't do anything to help her. I can't describe how bad I felt walking away from her after she begged me not to leave.
All her talk about people being experimented on didn't prepare me for what I saw in the labs under the prison.
Basically, the entire lab is full of hyron project drones. And we get to see exactly how these things are created.
Being in that lab was... chilling. Listening to the drones constantly begging for death, and begging for the pain to stop. Whilst lying on bloodstained tables. And the way those drone bodies were stacked into shelves like redundant pieces of merchandise...
By the time I left the lab. I was wide-eyed and at a loss for words. Truly, this part of the game really disturbed me.

I know I won't be the only one, but... The eel in Mario 64. It's really sad that thing is still more frightening then anything I've seen in a dead space game or RE6. I guess even Mario can do horror better haha. Speaking of mario 64, that piano was pretty nasty to.
Corruption of Champions.
By now you know the drill already........
But from a normal game, I will say Disgaea 2 from Playstation 2.......the bad ending with japanese voice actors...
I didn't expected to turn this dark honestly

Going through the Prison of Hope (3-1) in Demon's Souls for the first time scared the crap out of me, especially the insane prisoners that would attack without warning and hearing the singing that accompanies a mindflayer before you can see where it is.
Other than that, I tend to be frightened of any underwater stage in a 3D game, especially when there's some kind of large creature down there.

The Black House in the second area (after Kingsmouth) in the Secret World. Even without being on the quest and having things happen, that place scared the shit out of me the first time I went in it.
Bioshock's not technically a horror game, right?
That isn't the scariest part of the level or anything, but there aren't any pictures of the ice statues that cast massive, creepy shadows and move when you're not looking.
PS: I know Bioshock has a lot of creepy moments, but I would still argue that the majority of the game is still NOT focused on horror.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and the Dead Reaper level of ME2, when you watch the security recordings of the crew going insane. Particularly the one where the guy thinks he sees some kind of dark, horrible creature living in the walls.

You know the song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAmlQr79TzU] in God Of War III that plays in Hades? Gives me chills every time.
There are a few pokedex entries that are pretty creepy. There is the one for Yamask.
These Pokémon arose from the spirits of people interred in graves in past ages. Each retains memories of its former life. Each of them carries a mask that used to be its face when it was human. Sometimes they look at it and cry.
Then we got Duskull
Duskull can pass through any wall no matter how thick it may be. Once this Pokémon chooses a target, it will doggedly pursue the intended victim until the break of dawn. If it finds bad children who won't listen to their parents, it will spirit them away--or so it's said. It loves the crying of children.
I found those 2 particularly creepy. Not to mention since it was mentioned to me, I can't stop seeing how similar Clefairy, a normal type, and Gengar, a ghost type, look.

Huh, I thought it was Black and White 2. But ya whenever a villager was killed the "Deaaaath" whisper was unsettling. That and it never went away, just constantly reminding me of the misdeed whenever I was in the area.Bertylicious said:
I was going to post something about Shadow of Chernobyl that wasn't actually meant to happen, then I realised it actually is classified as survival horror.
Well then.
Um.
Oh, right.
The dream sequence in the first Max Payne, the one where you run around on trails of blood suspended in a black void.
And then something that sounds very vaguely like an infant and never should have existed in a universe created by a benevolent deity emits a scream that will make you go pale.
I couldn't sleep that night.

Fudge, forgot about that one.Reginald the Butler said:
Puts the shits right up you when it comes out of nowhere, especially when you're not really looking at anything.
This one is creepy in the small details. Like how, on the first and second day, if you look at the top of the Clock Tower through the telescope, Skull Kid mocks you in a child-like manner. On the third day, his head is tilted 90 degrees to the right and just ... shakes...OuendanCyrus said:
Also when you call all 4 giants, and the Mask sheds the Skull Kid.
It is also a very sad game. If you don't complete some of the objectives for the Couple's Mask. You see either Anju or Kafei alone in the hotel. Hell, even if you do complete all the objectives, Kafei arrives at 4:30 A.M., and you're still aware that they will die.
Plus, no matter what you do, you can't forget that the Deku Butler's son, Darmani, and Mikau are still dead.
The Meat King's Party from Hitman: Contracts freaked my shit out.
Captcha: that's right
Your mission is to rescue a girl who has been kidnapped and assassinate her kidnapper. It takes place during a BDSM fetish party held in an abattoir, which is disturbing enough on its own. Then halfway through the mission, you come across a weird shrine in the basement filled with candles and romantic music playing. Then you open a door and are met with the girl's corpse hanging from the ceiling, blood dripping from every orifice, presumably waiting to be processed into meat. Fucking hell.
Captcha: that's right
the abandoned cerberus station in ME2. I know thats supposed to be scary, but damn, i hate it. creeps me the frig out.
and, strangely enough, MYST anything. My dad used to play, and I would watch, but I always got the feeling something was behind you...
