Silent Hill is way better than RE in terms of freaking you out and practically putting you in a state of schyzofrenia. RE is an action packed slaughterhouse full of boring zombies going "aaaaahhhhhh". Although Nemesis and the dogs are a challenge. But there is no fear in RE! I never got shocked or jumped from my bed when I played it. But SH...even after years it still scares me to death.
