This is going to sound weird but... Archives.
I know alot of players that handled that place with ease, even FG said that its a bit boring /non scary part of the game.
But something about that place just kept me shivering, ESPECIALLY the ambient music in the background... Seriously, that ambience sounds like a choir of grunts singing.

Yea! I keep coming back to the archives when i level-edit.
That long room where the first grunt appears...
That place is stuck in my mind... Though i weren't that scared there again.. It was the prison and the storage...
The storage because it was so dark, and the monster-encounters were so cruel! When you've collected what you needed in the storage and you are running back, the tension raises, the shadow roars above you and suddenly a grunt is coming directly towards you, just when you went up some stairs... You are so focussed on getting away from that place, that the grunt is very unexpected, and yet... you knew it was coming.
The prison was scary, because it felt like those grunts were patroling. I was afraid everytime i found light, because that was when you encountered them. All the time i had to make sure that i knew where the "safe spots" were, so i could run towards them if a grunt appeared.
But that was the first time... When i play it now, it isn't that scary again. Still i LOVE the atmosphere

I hesitated to mention the archives too, and though I hadn't seen any monsters there, I really felt uncomfortable being there, and I had even hoped that it remained that way throughout the game (Read: that I would not encounter any monsters).
Yes it's indubitably boring for those who refuse to immerse themselves into the game, those who have already played it or seen videos of it, and even more so for the game developers! But I think it was a really good way of getting started for the novice players.
I can remember how bad I felt when I could hear the piano tones from the library, I dared not step inside the big room where the cave-in had occurred for a while...

The Prison and The Choir. The Prison does scare me, but the choir scared me more(SCARRED FOR LIFE..)
EDIT: The Prison? Doesn't seem too scary....(plays the Prison again) SCARRED FOR LIFE...

Oddly enough the Choir didn't scare me all that much. As with lots of people here the Prison was the worst for me. I kept dreading keeping the lantern on but at the same time I'd panic with it off. Also, when

Main menu and first map.
As I am one of the biggest sissies around I got a fright from the music and the look of menu. Then in the first map when the door blew open I just quit and told my friend to play at the same time with me whilst talking on skype. Yep, a real man here. Gonna have alot of fun playing Machine for Pigs.
