Mine had to be when you first start the game and you walk into one of the first bathrooms you come across and you see a ghost of a women drowning her baby in the sink, I was like "WTF!!!!"

I would have to say when you see the medical splicer behind you right after
you pick up that tonic in Medical I can't remember what the tonic was though

No kidding!
Also, when you first inject yourself...I thought to myself "it's not a trap, it's not a trap, it's not a trap"
There are so many. In the submarine, and the spider splicer mutilating the man outside. I didn't expect it.
When the "Would you kindly" events start flashing back...I still get goosebumps hearing those lines.
"A man chooses. A slave obeys."

Would you kindly: 1:40
hmm, i never noticed the one drowning a baby, you mean the one saying that she got spliced up?
its hard to chose, first time seing the statues in fort frolic had me going "oh my god....."
But yeah, the dentist probably takes the heart attack prize.
Oh, man, there were several... Where to begin?
The first fight with a BD.
Some of the ghosts were really creepy.
Seeing Suchong with a Drill in his back...
And, even though Sander Cohen was a goof, his sculpture freaked my cookies!
The first time one of the splicers pretending to be dead popped up off the floor really got my heart pounding.
Probably in the Medical Pavilion when the Splicer is behind you in the fog stuff. It had me tense before it happened and made me jump afterwards.
I can't just choose one, but I would have to say the part when you first pick up the shotgun, and all the lights go out, and splicers start attacking you.
The creepiest moment for me has to be when the splicer by the child carrier stands and talks... To a gun...
Toss up between what Psykomyko and Moncada said. Both events freaked me out. I don't remember the part where a ghost is drowning a baby though.
Creepiest moment?
Definitely in Fort Frolic, after going through the Ice Tunnel, there's a point where you can go in this small room. On one side of the counter there's a button to unlock the basement door. Once you open that and head downstairs to collect loot, you'll see those manikin statues standing there. I got my loot and turned around; they were gone. Turned the other way and there they were. Curious, I moved closer to them. Then they moved and started attacking me.
Freaked me out.
Then I bashed their heads in with a wrench.
The first time you hear the sounds of a Big Daddy thumping around, and growling.
Or wait. No. Every time you hear a Big Daddy in the distance.
The sound design is what makes this game shine mostly. It adds so much to the mood and the general creepiness/dread factor.
Also, the first splicer talking to the thing (gun?) in the baby carriage. CREEPY.
The first Houdini Splicer encounter in Arcadia, after picking the items from the desk. I was terrified, haha.
I probably would have said the doctor from Medical Pavillion, but I didn't do that in my first playthrough, and when I was following a YouTube guide on my second, I saw that on the video and it took the fun away.
The Sinclair Spirits basement in Fort Frolic, when you first encounter the plastered splicers. From then on, Fort Frolic became that much more creepier. Never knowing when a statue might appear out of nowhere behind you.
Just walking through Rapture hearing one of female splicers screaming:
I used to be beautiful. WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!
So creepy.
Maybe I'm a wuss, but when you pick up the camera. You've got that window (It didn't occur to me that it could be a two way mirror) and the splicer in the next room. I kept thinking as soon as I take this pic he's going to freak out, smash the glass and get me. Or he'd do it as I was taking the photo. And then when he leaves his room I thought... great, he's going to bash the door down here.
I basically scared myself.
That was creepy, and the bit with the splicer singing a lullaby to a revolver in a stroller.
I personally thought nearly every aspect of Bioshock was creepy.
Hands down scariest for me was the area with the fog. Turning around to the splicer staring at me...ya I jumped.
When the Houdini splicer was climbing in the broken roof.
When you first step out of the bathysphere to go after the spider splicer in the very beginning of the game, if you dawdle she starts singing "If I Didn't Care" by The Ink Spots. It was so chilling, I can't get it out of my head sometimes.
For me, the scariest moment was after you used the Power to the People machine, you turned around to see a plaster splicer that you're preeeeetty sure wasn't there before. And then to go up the stairs and find that the sculptures that lined the hallway weren't there anymore. Later on too, when you're in the flooded basement, turn around and there's about 3 or 4 of them again.
Scared the hell outta me.
The room underneath fort frolic where there was nothing but water and mannequins.
The moost freaky and creepy moment of bioshock hmmm. Well everyone above here already named a lot of them.
But I was also like WTF in Fort Frolic when that splicer is playing the piano. Really freaky.
Every single second in Fort Frolic.
Grabbing the Tonic in Medical, and then turning to see the Splicer.
In Medical, when you first grab the shotgun and the lights go out, and Splicers start rushing you from the dark.
When you first see the Spider Splicer in Neptune's Bounty.
The first time you see the awesome power of the Big Daddy.
Other than that, Bioshock was very calming...in a heart attack kind of way.
I agree with Batmanprime, Fort Frolic totally freaked me out all the time.
Hephaestus when you go into that dark room with all the "dead" splicers and the lights go out. When the lights come back on the bodies are moved. And the Paper splicers at Frolic.
Fort Frolic is definitely my favorite level for all its creeptasticness. Seriously, if Bioshock is the Mona Lisa as a whole, Fort Frolic is her smile.
Finding a dead cat....anywhere.

Indeed, Fort Frollic is a Madhouse. Even more, an artistic Madhouse.

Good call on that one. I was playing a little yesterday and found one. Forgot all about that.
Those goddamn plasters.
Steinman's monologue about people being to fat and too tall as he is in the process of cutting someone up was unnerving.
The scariest moment in the game is when you find out it ends......
the part in medical pavilion where that splicer is standing behind you and then when you turn around.... His eyes meet yours and a friendship is made. Sadly, I pissed myself and shot his face off before he could give me a hug.
Mine was when u are going through the hotels I think that is the place though in the one that has all the stuff on fontaine with the splicer locked in the the interigation room saying I'll be good daddy let me out!! That was so weird and freaky to me.
The mannequins. Hands down the creepiest thing in the game.
One of the scariest moments for me was in the Farmers Market. I was crawling through one of the sliding door secret passages expecting a bunch of loot on the other side. I opened the passage door. Bam. Dead, hanging splicers in a back closet.
Marista Lutz's hotel room also frightened me, especially since the television reminded me of 1984 for some reason.
There was this one audio diary in mcdonahues or whatever that restauraunt was called. It was next to a skeleton chained to a bed and there was a dim light in the room. As soon as you picked up the diary it played automatically. It was a frantic women and once the audio diary reached its climax the lights fizzled out. The other moment is at the very beggining of the game where the door to rapture is only cracked open. Once i stepped inside it closed shut. I panicked and backed up against the wall and then Ryan's face scared the living daylights out of me.
The plaster mannequins coming to life. Turning around to see them in new poses, or gone. Really, really effective, and really got to me at first.
