I haven't played very many scary games, but I am a fan of horror movies. I think I would have to go with Friday the 13th on the NES. When I was younger I would never play that game at night. Jason would always scare me in the cabins, I would go into a cabin he was in and search for him forever, and right when I would backtrack to leave the cabin he would pop out of nowhere. I could handle him on the trails, but once I entered a cabin my heart would start pounding.
Also I'm a huge fan of the SAW franchise, I was wondering if anyone has played the SAW games? Are they any good?

I'll never forget the first time I played Silent Hill 2.
I love horror games. The first and second REs were somewhat scary. I love the REmake for the GameCube. The SH series has also got some really creepy stuff going on. However, continuing in the same genre, I find the FF/PZ series ten times scarier than either of the previously mentioned series. And even though I love Eternal Darkness, I personally didn't find it that scary - even though it was quite creepy at times.
Those aren't the scariest games I've played at all, though. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth was incredibly scary up until you get your first gun(which takes a while), and I loved that part of the game. (After that, it just became a standard FPS, more or less.) Then you've got Penumbra: Episode 1 and Penumbra: The Black Plague. Creepy as hell games, especially the first one! (Though most others seem to disagree and claims Black Plague is the scarier of the two.) Then the same guys made Amnesia: The Dark Descent, which was even scarier.
I also have to mention the King's Field games, which have this ability of making you really feel the atmosphere in the games. They can be quite creepy quite often, even though they're not exactly horror games. But they are dark.
