First mutant, playing System Shock 1 in the dark with headphones on highest difficulty. Only time I've ever come close to crapping myself in terror. Naturally, I can breeze through Silent Hill and Ravenholm with no issues. Yet a pixelated cybermutant? Ohdearjesusscary.
Though I found the Mediumlifters in Descent 1 to be horrifying as a child, possibly because of the blood on their claws. Or because, when playing at the age of 4, I managed to trap myself in a pitch-black room with 6 of them.
Actual horror games? Amnesia got a little creepy, but I found the game itself boring.
Though I have a phobia of graphical glitches - one in Jak 2 where the city didn't load properly and people were floating through a flickering void with the ugly skybox smeared across the background freaked me out pretty badly. Though I was only 12, so... xD

I totally agree with the fear of glitches -- they freak me out. Falling through the floor, anything out of the ordinary (most of the time, area glitches). For example, Shadow of the Collossus was so full of area glitches, I can hardly even bring myself to play it sometimes. I was fighting one of the collossus' and was not happy to see the floor, background and music gone, with just the collossus and the wanderer on different levels on the floor.
Other than that, I don't play scary games. I don't do that to my poor nerves : )
