Gotcha!
Pumpking
Alone in the Dark, from 1992. The game was incredibly scary, while also having really clunky controls and a not so nice camera.
You had very limited ammo for your gun, and thanks to the camera and controls it was hard to hit things.
My memory's a bit hazy, but I remember something like this:
The story plays in around the year 1920.
The intro shows how you are brought to an old house, you get out of the (I assume) taxi and then walk across the lawn and all the way through the house to the attic. The game then starts.
And as it starts, things immediately get freaky. This monster-dog thing jumps around outside to the height of the attic's window and it comes closer with every jump. It'll jump through the glass and get you if you don't move a closet in front of the window. Then something tries to get through the hatch in the floor. Need to move an old chest over that or something will crawl out and get you.
Accidentally bump into a ghost that's gently rocking in its rocking chair, you're dead.
Moving around in a hallway without covering up the portrait of a native American, arrow in your back, you're dead.
Making it to the outside door, opening it, giant Lovecraftian monstrosity is right behind it, eating you alive.
Can't remember how the game ended, but I think you needed to lift the curse on this house somehow, or at least get that monstrosity away from the front door so you can leave.
