When I play a horror game I think of a focus not on the combat (it can even be awful I don't give a damn) but on the puzzles, trapped like scenario that involves puzzles/lots of backtracking/traversing, and mood/setting.
If you just want puzzles and lots of backtracking, you should like them.
REmake and Silent Hill 2 are much better than the Fatal Frame series. I really don't like Fatal Frame. They're intended to be scary, which they're not. Combat is annoying more than anything.

no i have not. notable scary games I've played are... Doom 3, REmake, RE0, RE2, RE3... 4 and 5 don't count.
Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2... I'm sure there's a few more that have scary "situations" but nothing like the afore mentioned ones. My favorites of what I mentioned are SH2, REmake and Doom 3 (despite being a poor shooter, it captures horror setting PERFECTLY)
