I've only played two Horror games that I liked. Dead Space is definitely one you need to play if you haven't. Most of its scares are jump-scares, but not in a crappy Slenderman way. It builds the atmosphere up nicely, and when you get overwhelmed it gets pretty tense. With surround sound turned up high, the ship creaks and there are all sorts of creepy noises in the background. The only game I've played with better sound design is Bioshock. Amnesia is supposed to have great atmosphere, but for me the sanity mechanic is just too out of place and breaks the immersion. The few times I was in the dark  hearing noises, I was genuinely afraid. When I get my PC I'm going to look for a mod to remove that mechanic.

I can't speak for anything else. The ones you listed all look nice, but every other horror game is more about action than true horror. Dead Space is about the closest to action I think you can get.

I hope this goes without saying, but you're not a real man if you don't have on headphones full blast with the lights off.
