I agree with whomever mentioned Phantasmagoria. One of my favorites!

I enjoyed Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder, which has strong Lovecraftian themes. Sometimes the puzzles were a bit illogical, but great overall creepy atmosphere. There are some genuinely terrifying moments in that game.

Penumbra was another good one, but sometimes was a bit too action-oriented for my taste; the dog scenes, in particular. I found the movement & controls to be a bit frustrating.

But my favorite FAVORITE scary game of them all is Scratches. I get chills thinking about it.
