This is why I loathe 'Arrival' so much.

The whole homicide arc in LA Noire was ghoulish, with the dead women being murdered in "Black Dahlia" style. (Look up Black Dahlia, I dare you.) But the last section where you had to confront the mastermind behind these deaths, by running around in a dark catacombs... reminds me the same fear and tension I had to deal with in Diablo as a kid; comes back.
It didn't helped you saw entails in the bathtub as you riffle through his makeshift home.
Horrible... but the arc itself was good though. It's a nice tie in with the real life Black Dahlia case.

During the first Arson case, you can see the charred corpses of a family, kids included. Eech.

When you kill a 'boo' in Mario 64, and this message appears on the screen:
Ghosts... Don't... Die! Do you think you can stay... Alive?
I remember being a kid and reading that whilst that creepy funfair music played in the background, and the cool new world of 3D games suddenly seemed a little different.
Related note: most of what happened in Luigi's Mansion was similarly disturbing.

Luigi's Mansion was actually a lot scarier than some of the other games that pass in the horror category today. The segment where you discover Mario inside the mirror was actually quite eerie.

And then there's this business, where a glitch (OR IS IT) makes it look a shadow of Luigi look a bit like it has been hanged.
Scared the crap out of me, I can tell you.

I always wanted to get Luigi's Mansion but my mother wouldn't let me get a Gamecube. Looks like she inadvertently spared me a few scarings.
Anyway, this is a bit more minor than ghosts or shit, but did the idea of Alistair being in charge of an entire country in Dragon Age 2 creep anyone else out? Especially when it's implied said country might have a war in it's near future.
At least he has a few more competent advisors (and in my case, a wife who planned to murder him once she could produce an heir).

Neah, I found ninja space zombies scarier really.

The Hollowbrook Hotel segment of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is positively chilling.

The Hollowbrook Hotel segment of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is positively chilling. I have heard of that bit actually. I wasn't able to get through the VtM:B video from Ben Drowned without chickening out, and I don't think it was supposed to be that scary.

Troika may be long dead but they captured the essence of that PnP role play setting perfectly.

Speaking of Super Mario 64, my memory just came back.
The Piano from the same level where Boo is located. I had really bad nightmares after I saw a big grand piano baring it's teeth and trying to chomp of Mario's balls.
Brrrr...

Not much in Alan Wake actually creeped me out, but:
"Don't mind him, he's Mister Scratch."
Creeps me out everytime I see it. Probably because it's so unexpected/unexplained.

Anyone ever played The Path? It's this weird artsy video game take on Little Red Riding Hood where you play as six girls, are dropped on the path to grandmother's house, and are told to stay on it. But nothing's stopping you from leaving the path, and actually that's what you're supposed to do. So then you explore the forest, interact with the environment, and when you find each girl's wolf...
Well...
This tends to happen:
Still the eeriest damn thing I've ever seen in my life, let me tell you.
