TopicAny good "scary" or "horror" games?

So I actually feel to play a good scary/horror game, the problem is that there never seems to be a game that's actually "scary" for me.

For example Amnesia: The Dark Descent, it was a good game with a "scary" atmosphere, but it wasn't really scary for me. The only time I got actually scared was when I opened a drawer and skulls were rolling out, which was the last thing I was expecting.

And that's where I think that the problem is: everything is expected. It's like it's written big on the game "Oh hey this is a horror game where zombies are after you and you can't fight them". I just know they're there, I know they're coming, and when I encounter them, I'm just like "Oh **** run" in a way that I have to survive, not in the way that I got scared of it and run out of fear.
Taking Amnesia as example again, I know those zombie's (or whatever they are) are there, so after a while I was just like "Ohai there" and just went through a door or jumped in a shadow.

So yeah, any good "scary" horror games or anything where you aren't expecting the right things and scare the crap out of you a lot somehow?
