First time playing Half-Life creeped me out, mainly because it was so immersive for me back then and actually felt like I really fucked up. Had to muster up the courage to play past the first few levels :v:
Of course there's a few more games I could list but nothing is in mind right now.
The phone from Swedish game based on Greveholm, I really didn't enjoy phones back then. (Now, it's more like "Hello?" and "We just unlocked the kitchen, proceed")
Portal scared the crap out of me when I was 12. All that loneliness of Aperture.
Dimensional Shamblers in Quake.
The day I finally had the courage to grab a quad and confront that beast is the day I became a man.
The happy mask salesman
Swimming underwater
Black dooms voice in shadow the hedgehog
Half Life, right after the resonance cascade, I think there was a headcrab somewhere that jumps around freely when you don't yet have a weapon, I really couldn't play past that point
Everything in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time past Kokiri Village...
No wait, screw that, even that place where you get the sword with the boulders rolling around scared me because I got lost all the time there.

I didn't give a shit about dead scientists, blood and gibs all over the place, headcrab zombies and ichthyosaur but the Valve logo scared me.
