i was quite traumatized by that noise in sonic right before you drown. Those long labyrinths underwater without any air bubbles for such a long time really drove me up the wall as a kid...
but i would say that I was more traumatized by gannon's laughter in Zelda II. no lies, i had several nightmares in which i'd be playing zelda, and gannon would laugh at me as i died. the laughter would echo and grow louder as i tried to turn down the volume (to no avail)... he didn't stop, it was an obscure sort of torture that i had to endure before i managed to muster the energy to force myself awake. i came across several different "losing @ zelda" scenarios like rooms packed to the ceiling with those knight guys that could only be damaged by stabbing their sides/back. and only 3/18 hearts left, no potions, etc. which resulted in more of ganon's mockery.
that woman in the hall in uninvited was also pretty creepy, i always died because i was always clumsy in navigating through the item menu.
I wasn't raised on it, but i found that Out of This World was also rather creepy. with a fear of losing and a system built around dying countless times before progressing one more screen only to be sent back to the beginning (everything in the game had it in for you) i couldn't not find it a little creepy.
now that i think about it, i really don't know when these childhood traumas of mine ended...
Jam it back in, in the dark.
