It was pretty clever of HAL to insert an actual jump scare that didn’t involve some final boss that gets corrupted somehow.

What I find unsettling about that piano compared to the Mario 64 Piano is the fact that it has a tongue.

I got off that game faster than Usain Bolt can run

When I was a child/early teen, OOT was a horrifying game to me. The redeads scared me so much. Even the music of the darker dungeons scared the heck out of me and I had to turn the volume down. LOL
TP's Arbiter Grounds scares me still. The Gibdos are much higher detailed than the redeads and yikes.

When I go further into game development, I would try to break the record on how scary games would be, at least for an E game or E10+ game. I have some pretty scary ideas.
As for the games I played, any game where you go inside caves have scared me, especially the ones where you see red eyes in the shadows. Oh, and in A Hat in Time, Queen Vanessa’s Manor was the most extreme a 3D platformer can get to.

This is going to sound silly but I feel a bit uneasy about a Pokemon song. The one that plays in the Old Chateau (for those who don't know, it's a haunted mansion with random appearances of ghost people.) in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.
The Old Chateau itself doesn't scare me. This song got reused at the cave you find Giratina in. Giratina and the confusing maze cave don't scare me either.
It's actually all because of a little glitch.
So, in Diamond & Pearl, the music also played right outside of the cave. Sometimes if you used your bike or the Pokeradar out there, which normally changes the music, there would be no music at all. I found that extremely unsettling for some reason. They "fixed" this in Platinum by simply changing what song played outside the cave. By hacking (or anything else unintended), you can easily find out the song is still broken.
So yeah, I'm creeped out by this one spooky song because it had the added bonus of being broken and making everything silent (except sound effects).

I think the "creepy" moments that I would like to share is the train noises you hear at the boss stages in Splatoon 1 and 2. It's when you hear it before heading down to the boss arena itself. The yelling along with the train tracks is just unverving. But Splatoon lore is pretty dark so there's that.
Till this day, no one knows where the sounds come from. But people are making theories that it might be either the octarians losing the source of energy or what is happening in Octo Expansion (since Octo Expansion had trains).
Another creepy moment is the Earthbound's final boss as a whole. The fact that it looks pretty out of place in contrast to the cutesy aesthetic that Earthbound has just threw me off. Especially by 1995 standards, before indie games took inspiration from games like Earthbound (of course).

There are some insanely underrated actually good horror games on Roblox. Games like Doors and Specter and the like are not that bad, but things like Apeirophobia, It Lurks, and The Mimic are fantastic!
Almost peed my pants when playing It Lurks a couple of years ago.

I can easily disconnect myself from fear in horror games, but Subnautica thoroughly makes me uncomfortable. I have never experienced something that can make me feel so greatly uneasy as this game has.
The premise is that you've crash landed on an alien planet filled with water. It's a survival management open world game. The never ending depth of the ocean has been a real fear of mine, and this game simulates that perfectly. It's not necessarily the creatures that I fear (although that does play a large part) but it feels so vast and intimidating. That, and apparently the game doesn't function on an invisible wall.
If you go too far out, the ocean gets darker and darker until a massive creature finds and eats you.
One day I will conquer my fear and finish this game. That day has yet to come.

I think the first time a game ever scared me was the alien level in Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly. The creepy music, the dinosaurs that would randomly spawn, and the cows going missing was so scary to little kid me that I remember playing on only one half of the controller and my cousin playing on the other half in an attempt to beat it. We didn't because that's a stupid hard way to beat a level and also more importantly because I was a little crybaby and kept running away from the monsters 
But recently the scariest thing has been the deathclaws in Fallout 76. I'm not someone who gets scared by stuff in non-horror games but those deathclaws dude...There's a quest that requires you to go to an island where you encounter one for the first time and the shaking of the camera, the animations, the noises was so scary. I was hiding behind a tree and I could hear my heart beating I was so freaked out. I still haven't managed to kill one in that game.

The Outer Wilds isn't a game that sounds like horror on paper, but did have a few moments that genuinely frightened me. I'll spoiler tag them since the game is best enjoyed without knowing anything.
Going into that one planet for the first time only to get eaten by a giant anglerfish was horrifying. I jumped in terror because I never expected anything scary to happen in the game.
The other time was I was exploring a planet and missed a jump and fell down the black hole. On the other side I floated in space at the edge of the solar system staring at the stars and sat in existential horror knowing I couldn't make it back to my ship in time. I reset the clock with a pit in my stomach and kept playing./SPOILER]
Moments like these are why The Outer Wilds is one of my favorite games of all time.

Killing the undead monsters in fable would have them screeching these horrific sounds.
Also the ghost town. (necropolis). If you go back after the main quest, the ghosts will point at you and whisper.
In general it's just a very creepy game.
