Okay, my favorites are:
Eraserhead
(Does Marblehornets/EverymanHybrid/TribeTwelve count?)
Amnesia (never actually finished it)
Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth (The hotel scene was particularly intense. Also, am i the only one that managed to get through the game with only 2-3 deaths?)
Silent hill (the Japanese games, not the American ones)

In my defense, I DID find this in a pokemon Creepypasta thread

Ocean House Hotel from VtM: Bloodlines.

Played it again earlier tonight. Even though I knew what was coming, it still scared me.

In the event you should play it again, try it with Auspex on for a while. No guarantees, but you might just see somthing interesting...

Horror music:  Portal is terrifying, and their lyrics and imagery give Lovecraft a run for his money.

Wow. That was pretty awful. But actually, I kinda enjoyed it.

I couldn't understand any of the lyrics though.

[Cthulhu]

It can be hard to listen to, yeah, but it's great when you get into it.  Outre is a bit easier to listen to, not quite as harsh.

[fqllve]

Yeah, I've listened to a couple more of their songs and they're actually really good. They've definitely accomplished their goals, and they're good musicians.

The Cradle.

Oh gods, the Cradle.

[Angel Of Death]

Portal is terrifying, and their lyrics and imagery give Lovecraft a run for his money.

Err... That song's not scary at all... Well, to me at least.

This thread made me play penumbra again. I got as far as blowing myself up trying to clear the cave-in this time and then I had trouble getting to sleep. The bit in the storage room didn't really help my mild fear of spiders much either. 

[Il Palazzo]

I found "The Road" scary. The book more so than the movie, but only by a small margin. It's scary not because it's creepy, or pornographic in it's depictions of disturbing stuff, but because it makes you realize the extent to which we came to take the civilization, and the civilized behaviour of other people, for granted. It lets you appreciate how our modern, western society practically erased the feelings of fear and hunger from our everyday lives.
It's scary also because it lets you feel the futility of life in a world without future*, and arguably, it's a situation we're in as well(albeit not in such an immediate sense).

*The Children of Men is built around a similar idea, only it's much less bleak, and ultimately hopeful.

Your one stone cold badass.

Well obviously nobody's going to watch it go "Aaaah, I'm scared now!" but the atmosphere they invoke and the things their lyrics hint at are what makes it good.  Also, apparently their live shows are really scary, to the point that some of their Australian fans do LSD before a set and see if they can last the whole thing without freaking out.

And yeah, what ToonyMan said, this is The Horror Thread, not the That Don't Scare Me Dawg Thread.

[FuzzyZergling]

It's not really horror, but I found Uzumaki to be pretty damned unnerving.

[DeKaFu]

Uzumaki isn't really horror? Whaat?

I popped in to suggest the various horror manga of Junji Ito. Uzumaki is probably my favourite. Something about the way all the horrible stuff was somewhat absurd, but the characters just had to deal with it. When your classmates are turning into giant snails but everyone just keeps going to school anyway and trying to pretend things are normal because what else do you do?

Also, The Enigma of Amigara Fault messed me up. I'm a voracious horror fan and it's the first thing that hit me that hard in nearly a decade. It literally prevented me from sleeping to the point where I had trouble functioning during the day. No guarentees it'll affect anyone else like that, a lot of it had to do with my state of mind at the time, but damn.

I read Stephen King stories before bed to calm down after reading this stuff.

Sometimes, simple things can be creepy as well.

The last man on Earth sat in a room. There was a knock upon the door.
