Fear...what inspires yours?, What gives you the heebee jeebees? Options

So It is getting around that time of the year and I am getting in the mood to scare. So that begs the question, What really scares you? This is for games of course, what could happen in a game, specifically RM games that make you jump, cringe, cower or just itch with anticipation? I'd like to see some of these ideas implemented as well, so tell up!

I'll go first: For me, one of the creepiest thing a game can have is music and sound effects, sure jump scares get me and I have anticipation for scares as well, but what sets off that anticipation is good creepy music, or sound effects that are subtle and creepy at the same time.

Hm, the unknown? I remember playing a silent hill demo back in the PSone days and I was in a dimely lit classroom and all of a sudden these strange little creatures came out of nowhere to attack me, I couldnt tell what they were! The looked like little naked demon kids. I was so scared I had to run out of the room!
