I saw your thread, you've definitely got the core horror games down already. Someone in the thread recommended Haunting Ground which I would also suggest as a good pick up. It's pretty well polished and much better as a Clock Tower-esque game than Clock Tower 3 which was a little half-baked. The Japanese version is very cheap (fortunately for me), but the NA version makes one of the holy trilogy of ridiculously pricey PS2 horror games alongside Rule of Rose and Kuon.
If you liked Fatal Frame I-II, Fatal Frame III is good as well. More of the same, I suppose, but they were definitely on to a good thing with the formula so it's still fun even if it doesn't bring anything new to the table.
It's not quite a 'horror' game to the same extent as the other titles mentioned so far, but for a horror themed RPG I really enjoyed Koudelka. Probably one of my favourite PS1 games.

As for Kuon... truth be told, I haven't actually got around to playing it yet (only managed to find a copy recently). It'll probably be next after my current game. My understanding is that it's conceptually interesting and has a good, Japanese horror aesthetic but is extremely janky.

Actually obscure PS2 horror games...
Hungry Ghosts I think is fairly obscure, but if you want to go even deeper...
How about the Kowai Shinbun series, the Hayarigami series or Kaerazu no Mori? Nobody knows about those.
There are also sound novels like the Kamaitachi no Yoru sequels if those count.

Horror Sega Saturn games...
Er... if you want sound novels I think there's a number of them.
Deep Fear was only released in JP and the EU, does that count?
Maybe not the best console for horror.

I know about the Illbleed remake. I really wish it had came to fruition and the director didn't die because he had really good vision with regard to games. I understand the desire to know what the Xbox version was like, even if it hadn't been finished.
