Picking the #1 monster should consider the following: its health, damage strength, any special ability it may have (such as regeneration, invisibility, burrowing, etc), ability to find/chase you and how hard it is to loose it when it does chase you.
I picked the Grey Rock Worm because: it physically it is far stronger than even the Brute in Amnesia, due to sensing vibrations you can never loose this thing (you can block its way, but it still knows where you are), and this fella can certainly surprise you at any moment! this cool monster would be even more frightening in real life
I'd say brute.
It's impossible to win them in running competition if there isn't any doors on the way. They can kill you in one hit if your health isn't maxed, and although it was you still couldn't run away from them. And in my opinion the sounds they make are the creepiest ones out there. First you'll hear their moan and then those nasty metal dragging sounds while they're coming for you~
...And who wouldn't love that pretty smile?

Of the Amnesia monsters, the Brute seems to be the easiest to make a Halloween costume, thanks to his smile
The worm can't smile too well, but all it wants is to give you a nice 'big kiss'
The worm can kill you in one hit as well, the only reason it takes longer in Black Plague is because the Tuurngait Clarence is protecting you. In the worm's .ent file, his damage is 300.
While I do admit the worm doesn't have a creepy sound (making the Brute's walking a bit more nerve wracking), the worm can came without warning and shock you followed by terror as it moves slightly faster than you. I was disappointed that the Frictional Games people didn't use the worm more to scare the player like they did with the Brute in Amnesia (I admit, I was jumped more in Amnesia than Penumbra, but that's because they put unexpected events in Amnesia aka no warning when a scary or surprising moment is coming.)
I'd love for these two to meet. I don't think friendship would be on their minds though...
Dogs. I've always been deathly afraid of the damned things (in the games, that is) and they are the ones I have fondest memories - and nightmares - of. Call me biased since smile.dog creeps the shit out of me, but to be honest, the infected doggies just plain freaked me out in Overture and in death in Black Plague.

Especially when they howl or growl before you see them.
I picked "dogs" but where is the vote for the Hunter?? Sure, it was ditched, but my god, that thing scared the crap out of me... I feel like bringing it to life.
Wasn't the hunter from the tech demo?
I picked the rock worm. That thing is huge! I died a few times during the chase sequence.
Nothing quite has the same presence as the rockworm.
