I think Clock Tower on the PlayStation scared you very well. You were chased by a man with big scissors and had to hide, or struggle. You had no guns. The sequels were also very creepy. In one of them, you had to use holy water and fight the stalkers with a special bow, which was hard. They had a bigger health meter. ?
In Silent Hill 3, Heather walks into a room with nothing but a mirror. When you try to leave, the door is locked. Eventually, her reflection and the room starts to "bleed out" until you can finally exit the room. But oh man. That was intense.
Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare which I love, has things popping out of the shadows. It was a lot like RE2, as you could play a man or a woman, and they would end up on an island together, separated at first with infrequent reunions. You could use a radio to contact the other character for clues or updates. There was even a Nemesis-like monster that followed you around. ?
Now The Evil Within is very scary because a female creature called Laura corners you in a furnace. Maybe that was the boss fight I hated in the second one, but she was also in the first game as well. It's one of the best modern day horror games, but doesn't get much praise. ?
The Resident Evil remake from 2002 had the Crimson Heads, that were basically tougher zombies with claws that occurred if you didn't burn or decapitate a regular zombie. You could be moving past a previously downed zombie laying in a corridor, only to have it mutate and resume attacking you. These days, you just shoot stupid looking monsters with glowing orange dots that are more of an inconvenience than being scary. Meh! ?
Beyond that, Days Gone even had some scary moments, like when you and another guy are in a cave with nothing but flares for light, and you get Freakers attacking you. There's also big infected bears, and hordes of Freakers that can be overwhelmingly hard to eliminate. ?
A honourable mention has to go to The Last of Us because of the clickers. And most other famous horror games have their special moments too.
