In Fable 2, when I visited the little cottage in the snow
that was completely unexpected :D
The last thing that made me jump like that in a game was the del lagos in RE4, because they where just so unexpected.

the memory lane door always creeps me out as well, its just...wrong...those cardboard people look trapped.
Yeh, there was definitely something about the Memory Lane area, quite creepy. What was it that happened in the snow cottage again? I knew something happened there, just can't remember what.

Other than that, there was a level in Serious Sam that actually scared me...it was one of the early levels that was in some sort of underground temple/sewer. Mainly due to the fact it was quite dark in there and, being Serious Sam, being suddenly set up by a 100 or so enemies at once wasn't unlikely!

OBlivion when the sound bugged :(, I was in some Aylied Ruins and the ghosts were making thier usual screaming/moaning sounds, but they were becoming louder, so maybe I was getting closer to it, then suddenly the screaming becomes so loud it nearly deafened me.

Mine's from RE4
When you're in the kitchen in the island on the final chapter and the flaming guy bursts out of the person-sized oven. Scared me so much I fell out of my chair.
RE 4 is a horror game.
I never really counted it because it was more action then horror. Any scare I got was out of shock moments. It just didn't feel like horror to me.

For me it was a time I was playing the first X-Com. It was about 2 am, no lights on in the house, the music in the game going quietly, and I was on a terror mission. I had a guy standing next to a building with an open door. I closed the door and there was a Chryssalid standing there. What really freaked me out was that one of my cats had decided to hop up into my lap right then.

Those Mole Rats in Fallout 3 always make me jump, you never hear them coming until they're right behind you and BAM!
That's what they say about me now.

Oh, I'd have to say lunging at Deadpool when he was charging his super lazor.

Fallout 3... Was at Vault 101 and it wouldn't let me go to the door and the cursor said "Albino Radscorpion" when I looked at the door... Thought "ok..." and walked off... well, walked about 10 feet, turned around, and there was the Albino Radscorpion right in my face...

Thief: Deadly Shadows-The Asylum level. Although I liked the ship more, the Asylum was way scarier!
Man... Shalebridge Cradle is one of the creepiest places I've ever seen.

Embarrassing to say but... In Oblivion; I was starting my character and was in the sewers. I thought I had cleared them of rats and since the brightness of my T.V. is naturally low a rat just hisses and jumps right at me.

Wasn't that what happened in a Penny Arcade comic about Fallout?
I... uhh... actually dunno what Penny Arcade is... it happened at the beginning of Broken Steel when I went looking for Dogmeat, then later realized he was back at the citadel...

The first time a Necro I thought was dead leaped up when I stepped over him in Dead Space. Or in RE2 when you are in the interrogation room in the police station and a Licker bursts through the one way glass.
