I find translating some reviews here at abandonia downright scary allright, but that's another matter.

The dense atmosphere in Silent Hill series is what I call "scary". Maybe disturbing would be a better word. I like games which don't resort to cheap tricks like: (silence) BOOO - Be scared now!
I mean games which you play, (and you dont have to fall from a chair or something) and feel uneasy wondering what the hell is that strange shape you see in your living room. k:

Yup. k: That will be Silent Hill 4.
Great atmosphere, with great graphics and great sound too.

After a retro FPS fest the other night, which finished after several hours of Blood, Quake 2 and Doom 2 at about 2am I found myself looking nervously at every shadow and making my way up the stairs to my room really quick after turning the downstairs lights off. Weird for a guy who revels in horror and gore.

What about "Alone in the Dark 1"... played with the music up, at night with a thunderstorm and rain.. in the DARK!

Talk about scary..

Call of Cthulhu was definitely spooky. Gilman the hotel manager is better than Silent Hill's Colin the Janitor to me eveeen. Many places in CoC make you think...exiiit...stage leeft! Silent Hill is pretty cool also. I liked the scene with the cat in the locker. I might have to check out Vampire the masquerade. The only game to give me nightmares EVER is Banjo-Kazooie, and I don't know how. Go figure.

What about system shock 2? That game gave me a few scares

I agree with DuckPatch that alone in the dark is the one made me have to take a dump almost the entire game. To this day if you ask me what the scariest game is? It is Alone In The Dark Great amophere and sounds that send chills up my spine. This one is a classic amd without it we may never have seen great games such as Resdient Evil and Slient Hill.
