Undying was very very good and scary game... I remember I almost shat myself early in the game when you're walking down the hall towards that big ass mirror and suddenly...
*SPOILER*
...that moustache guy with scissor hands appears right behind you and swishes.
But yeah, AI would definitely take the cake for me as well, it was my personal (completely out of the blue) Goty two years ago. Bonus points for making me soil my pants as a grown up, more than AvP did back in 1999.

reaffirms to not pay any attention to reviewers / critics in this industry.. bad alien AI! fuck off.
Alien: Colonial Marines was also pretty scary. Killing the aliens felt like attacking leukemic special ed students with parkinson's disease and it made me feel bad.
I found the first Silent Hill more scarier, although SH2 is still the greatest horror game ever made with one of the most personal and touching storylines I've experienced up until to this day. Nothing else compares, really.
SH1 atmosphere is more sinister and disturbing though. There are little ghost kids in an empty school building you have to kill for Crhist's sake! It also has one of the most memorable scenes captured in a videogame - Lisa's death. All the blood pooring down her face - you have to admit, it's pretty fucked up. The FMV's combined with the music were simply incredible, especially the intro with Harry driving his Jeep down the dark road heading to Silent Hill instead of Twin Peaks. PS1 graphics "helped" a lot, too.
The whole thing is just one long descent into madness and the whole cult storyline makes it much more deeper and complicated, so while playing it you know that it's not going to to get any easier...
Also, back in 1998 RE2 was The Shit! Another seemingly never-ending nightmare on PS1 ignored on that list...
Why can't we have more games like this anymore? What the fuck happened?
I think that honestly the scariest and most nerve wrecking gaming experience for me was the first Fatal Frame. Fixed camera angles and awkward tank controls can do a lot to make a game more tense.
