Doom 3 was creepy, especially on the big screen with sound cranked and lights off. My wife wouldn't play it at all. The only problem with it is it relied too much on the "jump out of nowhere" startle tactic.
Ravenholm on the other hand was creepy in a new way for a shooter. You're standing on top of a building listening to the fast baddies coming closer... then you can see them flying along the street and jumping from rooftop to rooftop. Man that was cool, gave you a good 10 seconds to get nervous and then BAM! they're on top of you and you're fighting for your life. Very cool.
