I would cite the Silent Hill games. Back when Silent Hill was fresh and allegorical, not the awful, Mario-style franchise it's become. Back when Pyramid Head was a bad ass, and wasn't just Konami's avatar.
The Condemned games are pretty scary, but I would chalk that up to the realism of the graphics, not necessarily the atmosphere. I heard the game Penumbra is pretty scary, but I haven't had a chance to play it. I get the impression I'll be underwhelmed.

Huh. Well, never played either of those so I'll take your word for it.
Apart from
Amnesia, the only games that have scared me are
Call of Cthulhu (which was more of a heart-pounding panic than creeping dread) and
Broken Dimensions (of which I'm not entirely sure why I find it so creepy).
