Fear of losing loads of progress after death. So yeah, getting far in Demon's/Dark Souls just to die.

For me, mostly to know something (jump)scary is about to inevitably happen but not knowing WHEN EXACTLY...
...it's really a delicate balance thing, as Games like Doom 3 and Dead Space easily swayed into the "too predictable" territory once you play for an hour or so...although at least latter one still managed to get some actual surprising scares after that
well made wrong post,
anyway on topic: i hate parts where you cannot fight back at all, you're forced to run

I meant that thread as a joke, not for people to ride up in their high horses and tell me off
When the game begins trying to mindfuck you.
MGS2 : Around the end of the game when the colonel starts "malfunctioning".
It wasn't as scary as it was disturbing. :s

I usually don't get scared when playing games, it's more of getting startled than anything else.
What I hate is getting ambushed by swarms of enemies that you can't hear coming, example the chainsaw wielding women from Resident Evil 4. They would seek up behind you and decapitate you before you knew what happened. In Half-Life 2, the Ravenholm level really put me on edge, because you would suddenly be swarmed by headcrabs and zombies, and it would always be when you were low on ammo, or on health.

AvP and AvP2 marine campaigns, consistently had me spraying rounds into wall panels, power cables (that one in the first level in particular) spinning round firing at doors closing/opening for no reason.
Then when you finally see an Alien it was one long incoherent 'WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHGETAWAYFROMMEYOUBIGBIOMECHANICALBASTARDDIEDIEDIEDIEGIBBERGIBBERGOTTA

the way we now seem to be expected to pay eye watering prices for a new game and then find we need a metric tonne of DLC and non-free updates (i.e stuff they used to see as part of the game you already paid for) to actually get some fun out of the game.

oh yes and then the publishers wail and scream when you take the only sensible option and buy pre-owned. infinitely scarier than some collection of pixels on a screen.

Timed sections. I get really really stressed out and start playing terribly.
Also underwater sections. The underwater section in Half Life Opposing Force is the worst thing ever.

Either a count down type section to the game since I hate being under pressure (unless it has alot of time to it) or in horror games those creepy sounds you can heard but cannot see the cause of it until it is upclose to you (e.g. The Regenerator from Resi 4).
Probably good sound and music in horror games/scary sections of games.
Or, in some cases, the lack thereof, which can be even more creepy if done right.
