If it had been more realistic, it would have been worse. But for straight-up bloody freakiness, anime is rarely the best choice, in my opinion.
Elfen Lied? It has many bloody freakiness.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Anime still never gets it across right. Cite all the examples you like, realism is always freakier.

I often find "real" to be too surreal.

Oh, I saw that thing ages ago.

My immediate reaction was "why is the page scrolling without my permission?" before I noticed the whole horror lady thing. Even then I didn't get a scare.

It's supposed to scroll on it's own?

I uh.... guess that would have made it a little scarier. I had to manually scroll it down so I thought maybe I missed the point (I guess I sort of did).

Well, it should have if you're on a PC. Apparently the script used doesn't like mobile devices.

Just scroll down
Fuck. You.
Fffffffff and I read that right before going to bed...

That...wasn't scary at all.

I found it startling, but not scary. In the same way someone tapping you on the shoulder from behind is. Then again, that's 90% of jumpscares.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

It amazes me how the addition of music can change a game from "Awesome, if a little dated" to "incredibly terrifying".

Having always played Quake without the music, I didn't really get what people were on about. But then I finally found out a way to mount an image of the music CD while playing an emulated version, such as the Steam release or the downloadable shareware version.

I never realized that music could be threatening. Just the tiniest little bass thrum can change the entire mood of the game. It changes the game from "pop-scare, blood-n-guts" scary to actually rather disquieting and nerve-wracking.

However much id Software paid Trent Reznor for the music, it was money well-spent.

Do they have Quake III Arena?  Oh man, the mods on that one were the beeeest.

EDIT: They do!  Oh man.  I know what I'm buying later.

Buyers beware, Steam Quake doesn't have music unless you mount an image of the music disk using DOSBOX or similar.
