start dropping SPOOKY suggestions for future topics, put them in SPOOKY spoilers though so we don't get people thinking too early, this is supposed to be kneejerk reactions.

these SPOOKY topics do not close when they are done so if you want to go argue over the results feel free to bump old topics and increase my SPOOKY brand recognition: https://bit.ly/YFTB8

first thought was an evil clown, then the ffvii spoiler

first remotely scary thought from the only horror game i've played is the gigantes in re4, followed by that first chainsaw guy

The Oven Guy in RE4. For some reason I thought he was a Regenerator on first thought so it was more like "Oven Regenerator" but I think it should probably be counted as the Oven Guy and I just misremembered the enemy type at first.

Also probably not my real answer but it's a pretty good jump scare.

I don't play horror games (unless Resident Evil counts) and I don't recall being "scared" by any other game at any other time so..
Unless you count jumpscares. I know "scare" is in the damn word but I can't really consider them "scary"
Because when I think of the word "scary" I think of being uncomfortable for a long time, feeling fear. Jumpscare doesn't give you that feeling, they just give you that feeling for like..a second or two, and then it's gone

The only time I actually feel "scared" is when I am doing a very hard task, one that if I fail it I will have to redo a long sequence or a very tough challenge that I managed to do by luck (stuff like "no save" runs and the likes)
This is when even a single enemy showing up out of nowhere and surprise you is when you actually feel scared. Even if it's just a stupid Goomba.
This is different than a jumpscare, because you actualyl expect this. You fear this. You are constantly scared

tldr I don't have a first thought

First thought was
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f27FEAyG43Q#t=5m10s

I think because PH is the scariest thing ever in a videogame and this is the first memory I have of him.

That was followed closely by licker on the window in RE2 and oven man in RE4.
