Hi! I really like your Username. That dude always creeped me out.
I'm a big fan of Resident Evil, especially the earlier games. 1 is probably my fave. I played most of the mainline series until 6, never played that. I enjoyed what I played of 7 and 8, even though they're not really what I think of when I think survival horror.
I wish you luck with creating a Resident Evil game! There are some very good spiritual successors out there, like Alisa for instance.
Also, I wrote something out for your thread about creepy TV shows before it got removed, but got side-tracked by work before I could post it. So I'll just leave this here:
Kid's nursery rhymes and stories are filled with horrifying imagery and dialogue. I always enjoyed the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk bellowing
"Be he alive or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread". Which is something they'd actually do when there were bread shortages due to extreme inflation on the price of wheat and flour.
On TV, Courage the Cowardly Dog has "Return the slab!" from the weird CGI ghost and "Naughty!" from Fred.

Tom's spooky "Don't you believe it!" always creeped me out too, even though it's hilarious to me now.
But by far the creepiest stuff from a kids show (to me, anyway) was Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids. Every time I watched an episode I felt I was witnessing something "wrong".
