Before having my first child, me and my partner had 3 miscarriages. They aren't even all predictable or repeatable. My buddies knew car crashes were real but still ended up with months of nightmares after being flipped in a car. People get messed up by mundane events all the time. It isn't about getting a surprise or a fright, or thinking it isn't real, it's about traumatic events impacting a character. Things you know aren't real and true, can't be real and true because that is not the way world works, except they are real and true and somehow the world is working that way, even though there is absolutely no possible way it can work that way. How many of them actually believe in the supernatural as fact, with no rational, scientific explanation? All the ghost stories, hauntings, miracles, gods impregnating mortals in Ancient Greece, the whole lot of it true. An actual real zombie absolutely violates the "zombies can't be real" rule of reality that the player characters have ingrained in them as central to their belief system. Ultimately we know that not only are they not real, they can't be real. Remember zombies are known to be fiction. Be sure the Mythos analog stuff does not follow constant rules. are them discover in character everything about the unnatural in your campaign world from scratch. Tell your players absolutely nothing about it. Get a copy of Sine Nomine's Silent Legions and build your own Mythos from scratch. Do NOT use any of the CoC/Delta Green/Lovecraft fandom names for anything. Tell them none of that applies to the game any more. To mak ether game scary rip every reference to the Mythos and Mythos entities, spells, etc out of the rulebook and throw it away. Red is a sound and a bell ringing is a smell. Obtuse angles get narrower as you approach the vertex. They are wrong on a fundamental violate all the laws of physics, metaphysics, reality and human ability to conceive and comprehend. The Mythos entities are completely impossible in our reality.
The whole point of the Yog-Sothothery (to use HPL's term for it) is that reality is vastly different to what we know and theorize. Post-modern attitudes toward gods are that they are an outmoded concept for simple minds and don't exist. One that can regularly reshape the very laws fo reality to suit its will. Post-modernists who don't give a shit about gods? Show them an actual, existent God.

If you have them encounter zombies break all the horror movie cliches. I think seeing things that should not and cannot exist, but do exist would freak anybody out. A real zombie walking around, and more importantly not dying when you shoot it in the head like all the movies say to do is something quite different. First counter argument to zombies not being scary: Everybody knows Walking Dead is fiction.
