I've heard that the Fatal Frame games are pretty terrifying as well. Unfortunately, I've been spoiled by next gen graphics, so I don't feel the icy grip of fear that I once did when I revisit those older horror games.

The feel of helplessness and complete vulnerability just fucks me over. But that's just my opinion. And I'ven't played Condemned but it looks pretty creepy.

Absolutely. But bear in mind that Silent Hill was (for the most part) the first franchise to introduce helplessness into the equation. You play Joe Everyman, no combat training, fending off unholy anathemas with only whatever shit you happen to find lying around.
Of course they fucked this up the second they introduced characters with military and arms training to the series. I actually think the latest release was just a free-for-all shoot 'em up. Ugh.

The Suffering freaked me out. that was a good game, actually.

I also liked The Suffering, but it too has lost much of it's original potency. I think that game's major appeal to me was the creature design.
