I'm really surprised, as I used to be a sissy for horror stuff. But after beating Resident Evil 4 a buncha times, horror doesn't bother me so much any more. At least, not in video games.
Gross stuff, like headcrabs, still suck balls, and are the reason why I still haven't beaten Half-Life 2.
SPOILER(ISH)
The dentist office in Bioshock where the screen steams up and when it comes back down there's a splicer standing two inches away from you? Yeah. That freaked me out.
END SPOILER
And Dead Space was pretty intense. I've found that listening to Stephen Colbert episodes while playing horror games is a pretty effective way to take the edge off the creepiness.
