Not much scares these days, maybe the kiddies, but adults should be fairly descensitised to it by now (if you've played alot of games).

The Resident Evil series does a firly descent job at scaring me at least twice per game. Take Resident Evil 2 for example. Every damn time i go in the investigation room (I believe the cord and eagle stone is in that room) and that Licker busts through the window from the other room, it ALWAYS scares the shit outta me, i even know it's coming and it still makes me jump.

The Rainbow Six series is really good at giving you quick jumps too. I know it ain't horror, but when your go sneaking around a corner not looking and all of sudden WHAM!! a shotgun blast errupts and you get shmucked, you'll jerk a bit in surprise.

Doom 3 had a couple jump moments, but not as many as people make it out to have. I think the whole point is to not know the enemies will be their is what gets the jump factor, Resident Evil is good at this, cause the camera angles sorta mask some of what's in the room until your right there. Of course you can hear the zombies, but if your not paying attention, the'll startle you.

Doom 1 & 2 had very little of that, i mean sure you run into a dark corridor, and hear a Baron of Hell hollar, it may getcha once in a blue moon, but not too often. Reason is cause once you enter a room, you can hear the enemies once they see you, so it kinda removes the element of surprise.
