I actually always found it pretty gruesome when the Prince fell into a pit with spikes. I guess that was just because of my realization what happened. So I found it quite disturbing. I also found the aggressive sword-guys quite scary. But that was more because of the threat. Those older graphics have always been more "eerie" to me, you know. The more realistic it is, the more "normal" I find something today. But then with the introduction of even deeper atmospheres with particle-effects and such and better audio does make it "scarier" again.
