Scratch

I remember when I was really young, I used to play this game on the GameCube based off one of the Ice Age movies, and those tarantula thingies in those cave thingies creeped me out.

More recently, I was playing Ocarina of Time, and when you go under this grave, you come into this cave, and these undead skeletons come at you with a piercing scream. Wouldn't say it scarred me or anything, but it was pretty freaky.

That was pretty freaky as well, but by the time I played that, I was already a bit older to handle it. I actually thought it was epic. 

Donkey Kong Country. The game over.

I was four years old.

LoZ, skyward sword

I think the first time a game scared me was when I saw my sister playing The Blair Witch Chapter Two: The Elliot Kedward Story, she made it to Coffin Rock, then the zombies came, and I left. I was only a bit freaked out.

The first game that GENUINELY scared me was Fatal Frame.

Let me clerify, that I was eight years old, in the dark, no one was home, so I played my sister's Fatal Frame because she talked about it.

Today we have Slender to scare us silly, but at the time, Fatal Frame was our Slender.

The mechanic is kind of the same for both games, something is lurking right behind you, and whether you see it or not, it is there, and there's nothing you can do about it. While Slendy has his violin screech, the Himuro family has many screams, moans, cries, and dialogue. While Slenderman is a fude with no face that kidnaps children, the Himuro family performed rituals, rituals so greusome that I can't speak about it on the forums.

You fight the ghosts with a camera ina first-person view, you get criticals by holding them in frame longer, and you do more damage by being as close as you can to the ghost.

THE GAME is pretty hard too, the final boss can only be damaged by doing criticals.

There was this one Bionicle connect-the-dots game but if you did it in the wrong order or went too far off the track then it like screamed at you.

this little-known game called "999" for the DS.

basically someone gets blown up and the game spends like 5 minutes going over the gory details.

ive played games with moments where you turn around and theres an alien in your face that makes you jump but ive never played a game that genuinely scared me

Well, I was completely freaked out, because of the peaceful music, then the piano come chomping at you.  I almost broke the controller.

right i forgot about ju on
the grudge
the game 

Gotta agree with owetre, before I started playing MC my gaming life mostly consisted of Pokemon and Kirby. ...And I had it on PEACEFUL.

...the underworld levels in Skylanders? >w< I had my little bro co-opping with me, so it wasn't that bad.

...I thought it was going to be some game in a creepypasta, but wow.

I thought the game was called like Nine Persons, Nine Doors, Nine Deaths or something?

Unless they just happen to be really similarly titled, but both sound like "novel" story type games.
