In Fatal Frame 2 Wii Edition when Broken Neck suddenly disappears from sight and the BAM! Right in your face! Also many times in Fatal Frame 4, the mannequin in the coffin room, the part when you have to first escape from Sakuya, such a scary game!

Ohhh gosh.
Minecraft. Scares me very easy. I only play on peaceful unless I am playing multiplayer with a friend. One time actually, I was using Single Player Commands (A mod) and blew up a giant whole with TNT. I was going down into it when I heard lots of zombies and what is called "Ambience". It is pretty much just creepy unnatural sounds that are played when a dark area of 3x3x3 blocks is within like 30 blocks I believe. Anyway, I was wearing headphones and the demon roar sound played when I was going down into the hole >.<
I have played Slender before on my iPod but I am not brave enough to play it on the computer... Watching Tobuscus' videos made me sweat through my shirt. Yes, that is how jumpy/scared/creeped out I get with games. Anyway, slender doesn't scare me much for the iPod version.
Watching my brother playing Amnesia: The Dark Decent. ENTIRE GAME is creepy. Stuck in a very dark 19th century European mantion (I think I got that right?) Anyway, it is completely deserted and you are all alone. Random sounds are heard, your vision gets really trippy when you are in the dark too long, you get no weapons, just a lantern and various items. Doors randomly are found locked or just shut that you swear were open before, and the other way around. Pretty much, any door you open is really scary because the "Monster" could be found right behind it. One time my brother needed to find some item, and he went into a small dark room and found it. He picked it up, and the screen got all trippy and an awful howling sound was heard, he look to his left, and the monster was just sprinting at the door. He slammed the door shut and hid behind a shelf, while he could see the monsters legs as he was wandering about the room making growling souns. The appearances of the monster are scripted though, I believe. So they are triggered by something most of the time, in our case, picking up that item he was looking for to solve a puzzle. Yeah, my brother and I can only handle this game for 45 minutes, max. before we have to stop. It is that creepy.

Let's see.......I've had a few jump scares in RE: remake for the Gamecube....I wouldn't say I've had so many scary videogame "moments" so much as I've had constanst terror/tension in many horror games...fine examples of course being the Hospital in SH2, Clock Tower(a.k.a. Clock Tower: The First Fear, released only in Japan though thanks to the power of emulation I was able to play it, I heartily encourage anyone who hasn't played it to do so, it's quite tense!), Clock Tower(PS1, Clock Tower 2 in Japan, not to be confused with Clock Tower II: The Struggle Within[a.k.a. Clock Tower Ghost Head in Japan]), Amnesia of course is tense as hell, one of the scariest games I played in a long time, and also there's the Trilby series; 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes, and 6 Days a Sacrifice(point-and-click style adventure/horror games, sorta' like Clock Tower)....another really, REALLY underrated game I have to recommend is Theresia for the DS; it plays in the style of a FPS dungeon crawler and has very dark and forbidding atmosphere, definitely a tense, scary game...if I think of others I'll post'em.

Dead Space. I know it is meant to scare you, but in the first game it was mostly suspense. When you walked into a room with the necromorphs, they usually made noise and then would charge at you. Well, one night I was playing and going about the story as usual. I go to open the door to a room and as I walk in a necromorph suddenly just pops down from the ceiling and begins to attack. I began screaming "DIE!" repeatedly because it scared me so bad! I made sure that one was thoroughly stomped before continuing on...

I remember hearing about Minecraft and I wanted to get a feel of it on my own. I had no idea what to do, so I decided to dig a tunnel. I had no idea where I was, all I knew is that I was going straight. I decided to poke my head out of the ground like a timid little prairie dog. I looked up to see a white human like figure, I assumed I landed in a village (this was Alpha by the way). I looked at the white figure and said "Hello there", then it proceeded to shoot and kill me. When I respawned outside of the tunnel, a couple of spiders and a single creeper killed me. Oh, what a fun time that was.

It's dumb but in trauma team I get a little jump from the noise when you get a new body in forensics with the recording . Just the noise is so unexpected.
The raging bomber episode scared me for a while...

When I first saw a Redead on The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker...I was a little kid, and I screamed, started crying, turned off the game, and swore I would never get back on it again.
5 minutes later, I was back on the game. XD
I don't know what my reaction to the Redeads on Ocarina of Time would have been. Those things were creepier than the Wind Waker ones by far.

I always get scared playing skyrim! I don't know if anybody has seen this cave where there are two frost trolls on a ice bridge suspended across a deep pool of water. I was fighting them when I accidentally fell in! It was so dark when I went underwater and there was no bottom to it! I was seriously freaking out, there could be anything at the bottom. It was terrifying. I ended up loading my last save because I was so scared XD,
That reminds me of a moment I had in Skyrim the other day. I was outside at this fort that was surrounded by water and I'm an Argonian, so I don't have to worry about having to swimming underwater. I knew this fort had undead in it, but I wasn't too worried about that either because they wouldn't have noticed me.
So I went under the water and I spotted a chest underneath. I opened it, got the stuff inside, and then closed it again. At that moment, a skeleton floated up right past me and it scared the daylights out of me. It was like that part in Jaws. I had to remind myself it was a dead one or else it would have been trying to attack me.
