A lot of movies (and some games) in particular have scared me when I was younger.
But in recent years/adulthood:
Movies:
[Rec] (the original version) scared the hell out of me. I don't scare easily in films anymore but this one really got to me. It's awesome.
Books:
Can't remember any. I like horror in books but I've never been actively creeped out by anything.
Games:
Amnesia: The Dark Descent was extremely scary at first. Like the Penumbra games though, it loses a lot of its scariness once you "figure out" the gameplay, mechanics and how things work. But yeah, very scary overall.
What movies/books/games have scared you?

Halo as a child. I thought I could handle the Library level. I thought wrong.

Try watching this when you are 7 years old. Scared the crap out of me, and I thought it was another cartoon movie about rabbits.
Watership Down (1978)

And yeah I saw the dub of it on VHS way back.
I would link to YouTube to show how it is but I don't need a ban so look it up yourself on YouTube.

Not so many movies have actually scared me... at least in a genuine sense. Many horror movies are based upon shock, but this is a different sensation to one of actually being sustainably scared.
The original 'The Fog', by John Carpenter actually did frighten me quite a bit. Admittedly I was pretty young when I first saw it, which probably gave it far more impact, but those ominous street scenes with the fog rolling down them (among other things) made me deeply uneasy for some reason.
Books - I read The Shining at around the age of 13, and it scared me! The scene with the hedge animals in particular gave me nightmares. More recently Michael Marshall Smith's 'Only Forward' contained one scene that gave me some serious shivers. It's impossible to describe it to someone who has not read the book, but it involves a 'Something' which exists within a collective dream....
The most scared I've ever been while playing a game was (strangely enough) while playing a total conversion for the original Quake called Zerstorer Testament of The Destroyer (you can still download it now from many websites, but you'll need a version of the original Quake, plus a decent source port such as Dark Places). Man, that TC seriously screwed me up! I found it insanely terrifying, to the extent that I was only able to play it in short bursts before having to go somewhere to chill out!
Doom 3 used a similar concept much later, based upon the idea of unseen threats (stuff you can't see is more frightening than stuff you can), so it's a lot more common in more modern games.. but Zerstorer was my first exposure to that kind of thing.
Before that, the original Doom had some real scary moments, as anyone who played that game back in the 90s will tell you. There's a particular moment in Episode One, in which you enter a room, near the end of the level.. and all the lights go out leaving you in pitch blackness.. and hordes of invisible demons lurked around every corner.. you could hear them but not see them! uuuughhh!
Most recent thing to scare the pants off me in a game... the famous elevator standoff in Half Life Episode 1. Sheesh I HATE that damned event with a passion! I feel really, really anxious and on-edge in the moments leading to it.. thinking "Oh crap, it's coming up soon", and I have to grit my teeth and physically force myself to get past that part. It's just horrible.
Then, of course, we've got the dreaded Antlion Queen tunnel chase in Half Life Episode 2. It's actually not that difficult to complete, but I still feel totally on the edge of my nerves and close to panic every time I play it.
Vanilla Half Life II had it's own share of frightening scenes... the area toward the end of Ravenholme with the spawning zombies, and those horrid, dark places with the toxic zombies were just plain nasty! As was the dark zombie-infested tunnel that you had to drive through when leaving the bridge area.
Final honourable mention goes to our very own Dragon Age Origins.... The Deep Roads leading up to the Brood Mother...... the chanted poetry..... talk about creepy!

Mass Effect Deception, because what happens in it, if really considered canon, scares me.

Amnesia - because the player has no weapons, and no way to defend themselves other than to run away and hide in a dark corner until the monster goes away.
Any other game I've played that is supposed to be scary, gives the player a bunch of guns, swords, magic, whatever, so once I've figured out my tactics for killing the monster, I'm fine.

Movies:
The Shining and The Grudge (Ju-On) are the only ones I can think of that still freak me out, although obviously a lot more did when I was younger.
Games:
Silent Hill 2, and to a lesser extent 3. Then there's odd bits of games like VTM Bloodlines (the haunted hotel), HalfLife 2 (Ravenholm). Still need to play Amnesia... I find games freak me out easier than movies do.
Haven't read any 'scary' horror books, but would be interested to try some...
