Siren is awesome, really. It's creepy and the way they did with the non-linear story telling is very clever.  The only thing that's bad about the game in the first  one  are map system and mission system. But these are fixed in Siren 2.  The game is pretty unforgiving as well when it comes to killing off the characters. (One of the mission is to commit suicide in order to let the other character survive....omg.)

I'd also recommend Haunting Ground aka Demento , since it's one of my favourite horror games and because I'm a sucker for clock tower series XD

I also second Rule Of Rose, if you can stand the poor battle system, the game reward you with one of the most interesting psychological horror story I've ever seen.

If you still own PS1 (or you can find ISO file) , the game Hell Night ( aka Dark Messiah for the japanese version) is REALLY scary. I still haven't beaten the game yet, though I'm on the last chapter now. The game is in first person point of view and you cannot do anything but run away and hide from the monsters. Once you can find  a partner, you can use their ability to fight back or make you survive easier. The game feature multi endings since it depends on who's your partner ( you can only choose 1 from 5 - 6, I don't remember).

And if you own NDS, then I guess Twilight Syndrome ~ The Forbidden Urban Legend~ is pretty scary too. Though the game is in Japanese only

@Dr. Ears
Oh yeah forgot about Dementium. The save system sucks though, but the atmosphere is quite creepy

@Murex Bandaris
Do you want indie horror games as well? Or do anybody know any indie horror games?

The only good indie horror games I've played were the Chzo Mythos (5 Days series) and Lost in the Nightmare, both made with AGS.

Yeah, 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, etc. are really good.

The third one, Trilby's Notes was meh because it was a text adventure built in, and it got really annoying at guessing what words to use.

Sadly, I haven't been able to play the fourth/last one. I have both a Mac and a PC, but the PC has Vista which won't run it

I bought Hellgate: London last Halloween and it was really bad so don't buy that.

when i was a kid, my friend and i would play daggerfall for like 10 minute increments. we'd run around town, buy clothes or armor or whatever, and then go to a dungeon. we'd always hear skeletons screaming and it scared the fuck out of us so we'd run out of the room and wait maybe 5 minutes to come back. then we'd play for 10 more minutes until something else scared us. i played it again pretty recently and it's still really scary!

Vampire Bloodlines is one I don't think has been mentioned here. I found that to be quite scary at moments. Of course other moments were not as scary but it had a great horror atmosphere at the very least.

fukin SimAnt

seriously spiders that fill half the screen 

Lost in the nightmare looks really interesting but all the link I found are dead Anybody still has it?

EDIT: Never mind. Found it. In case anyone wanna try it  , here's the link

As for clock tower, only the first two games and Demento/Haunting Ground ones are good.  If you like tense situation where there isn't a rocket launcher but run and hide just like those b horror movies, then go for it ​  (I'm a sucker for those b slasher movies so the game mechanic works for me.)  Don't play Clock Tower 3. It sucks, stupid and not even scary ​  Ok some parts are scary but after the first half of the game it's nothing but ridiculous

Forget playing your vidcons, I am bringing back vidboards

Holy shit I remember this!  That shit scared me when I was little but I'm sure if I played it now it would just be stupid.  Or maybe it is scary I don't know??

Also Warlock for the Genesis creeped me out when I was younger, that shit was so cool.

You know I still find Doom 2 (Doom 1 to a lesser extent I guess) to be unnerving. Mainly Final Doom actually. TNT and Plutonia have some creepy levels. there's this one TNT one where you descend into the catacombs of this castle and it's really surreal and eerie at the same time. The gameplay is obviously basic (it's a grand daddy of the FPS genre after all) but Doom still features some of the most surreal levels and enemy designs of any FPS!

The great sound design and lighting effects help too.

This could just be me and my wasted youth of playing co-op Doom 2 in a dark basement. Doom 3 never captured the feeling for me. Yeah, it featured MORE MODERN graphics technology blah blah but the environments and monster designs were so bland and it lacked any style or flair.

I wanna try Dead Space for PC, but I hear it's a terrible port.... ;(

I heard it was a great port from SA but maybe they are liars.

If you have a 64 gogo Eternal Darkness. Apart from that pretty much everything has been mentioned!

Eternal Darkness was for Gamecube but yeah I've been really wanting to play it again lately. 

Holy shit I remember this!  That shit scared me when I was little but I'm sure if I played it now it would just be stupid.  Or maybe it is scary I don't know??\

Nah, if you play it now it's just funny.  I can see how that would scare the shit out of a kid though, but I can't say that it's STUPID playing it now.  It's just really funny and fun.  You've got to be playing with other people who are willing to talk to the TV though, or else it would suck ass.


edit: although if you do have the lights down and volume up like it tells you to, the first time or two the gatekeeper yells "STOP!!!" kind of startle you.  It doesn't SCARE you, it just makes you jump from loud sudden noises.
