None of these are really under the radar but that isn't by accident. These games are totally worth revisiting.
I would like to see you try to play a little bit of one the original Alone in the Dark games. For some of the first attempts at the genre, they got a lot of things right. It's interesting to see how much of what we consider to be a part of the canonical "survival horror" template is layed out in the first game. You can get all 3 for 6 $ on GOG. http://www.gog.com/gamecard/alone_in_the_dark
Why not Silent Hill ? I think it's likely that a significant portion of the viewership has little or no exposure to this game and although it's certainly no longer impressive to look at, I think the fact that it's a seriouslyeffed up pixelated brown mess completely works in its' favour.
The GC remake of Resident Evil is still gorgeous and spooky as shit: A lot of people somehow manage to miss it but it contains my favourite piece of videogame writing ever. http://residentevil.wikia.com/Keeper's_Diary
Edit: Anyway thanks for posting this topic because there is A TON of great looking stuff in this thread that I'm excited to check out.
