Horror- my favorite category of games; here's what i'd reccomend.
First off- RE5- not scary, should not be considered horror- it was fun- not scary. Also, Left 4 Dead should never, ever, be considered scary unless you have some extreme zombie-phobia. It's a great game, but there are no scares in it.
F.E.A.R.- I suggest you play the first one first, that was the best- but in comparison to Deadspace, F.E.A.R. is more of a psychological thriller- the scares aren't the same as Deadspace, as they rely more on suspense than shock.
Silent Hill: Homecoming- really really scary, but doesn't have the awesome replay value of Deadspace. But, if the atmosphere of Deadspace was a huge plus with you, Silent Hill delivers. The story is just as chilling.
Condemned 2: Bloodshot- you don't need to play the first game to pick up on the story- which is good since this one improved greatly on the original. It's probably scarier than Deadspace in every way- but still not as fun, and some levels do not set an appropriate horror atmosphere.
Condemned: Criminal Origins- though you can probably find it in a bargain bin- it's still a classic. Scary as hell too.
