Silent Hill 2 is the best I've played.  I think what really sets it apart for me is that, beneath all the creepy-as-hell monsters & decaying buildings there's a story grounded in reality that makes the whole experience that much more disturbing.  Then after you play it, read the story FAQ where the guy who wrote the official guide actually talked to the dev & got the straight answers from him about exactly what everything meant - it makes it that much more disturbing when you realize what's really going on.  Amazing game, I hope Silent Hills can live up to it.

Amnesia freaked me out, but silent hill 2 was creepy as well

Most of the games that have been mentioned so far.  I'll add:

Condemned Criminal Origins (only played bits of this one, which was enough for me.)
Zombi U (the nursery is the one of the scariest locations I've ever played through in a game.  Couldn't get out of there fast enough.)

I'm a little late to this thread, but I wanted to throw in a suggestion or two, especially since people already mentioned a couple of great series! 

I haven't gotten around to playing Amnesia, but the three short Penumbra game on PC was made by the same studio and it is quite a scary game too.  One of the things that makes it so intense is that you have no weapons and have to hide from everything essentially.  It is a budget title but still really worth playing.

I'm glad someone mentioned Condemned too.  I've only played Condemned 2, but it definitely has an unsettling environment and there is a part with a bear in that game that will keep you on your toes to say the least.
