Scariest TV Episode

[EliSnow]

Today on the Ron and Fez show, the boys reminisced about the scariest tv epsiode they saw as kids. Ron mentioned a segment from the Night Gallery pilot ep, the segment with a Nazi criminal.

What was the scariest episode you saw on TV?

[styckx]

Strictly from the perspective of when I was a kid. The Garth Knight episodes of Knight Rider scared me.

Are you Afraid of the Dark ... generally not scary but I saw the Zeebo the Clown episode one night before going to bed as kid. Stayed with me for a long time. I wonder if its was scary at all now?

[Jujubees2]

As a kid I remember watching some episodes of The Nightstalker that scared the crap out of me.

[A.J.]

Facts of Life: Natalie lost her virginity.

[Pitdoc]

ABC Movie of the Week, with Karen Black in 3 different stories. The FINAL one is the one with the Zuni killer doll.But the doll ISN'T the scariest part. It's when she calls her boyfriend over , and sits on the floor jamming a sharp knife in the floor, and she smiles & opens her mouth, and you see she has the same sharp pointed teeth as the doll

When I was very little, an episode of Johnny Quest scared the hell out of me. It was the one with an invisible monster (must like on Lost!) that had a eerie howl that was destroying everything on this island. They finally found it by throwing paint over it.

[Enabler]

There was an episode of Punky Brewster that scared the shit out of me as a kid...cant remember the plot but they were in a cave and shit got weird. When i google imaged it I got this...still kinda sacres me.

[RENFIELD]

how about the night gallery episode
where the guy had some weird worm put in his ear..
tied to the bed and in agony...
somehow the worm bored all the way across,
and came out his OTHER ear...
seemingly surviving the ordeal...

but then you find out
that the worm had been pregnant
and left all it's eggs inside the guy's brain.....

(fade out)....

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

A Twilight episode called, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Call."

[Bill From Yorktown]

Through a window - Bill Pullman. This impenerable bubble appears in the middle of the desert, with what looks like a nice farmhouse, a grandfather, a woman, and a boy. They cant see us but we can see them.Bill Pullman's character figures out how to get through the field, only to discover that the people arent like us - they are cannibals and rip him to shreds. It ends with the cannibals now trying to find a way to our world now that they know we're here.

[Gvac]

I don't remember if it was a Twilight Zone, a Night Gallery, or some other show's episode, but I do remember it was in black and white and it scared the piss out of me as a kid.

A killer is on the loose and a blind woman living all alone is naturally the house he decides to visit next. It's the middle of the night and the blind woman is sneaking all around the house unscrewing every light bulb from every lamp so she will have the advantage as he stalks her.

It ended with her getting killed in front of the open refrigerator door.

Whether she forgot about that one or never knew there was a light in the fridge I don't know.

[Radioguy]

It's sad, but for the entirety of Star Trek, Schisms from TNG was the only one that truly frightened. (holodeck scene was a great buildup to creepiness)

[instrument]

There was a haunted facts of life episode when the guy kept saying "tuti"

Scary

[metaregina]

Unsolved Mysteries always freaked me out. For some reason an episode about a couple that kidnap a newborn baby when his mommy was leaving the hospital scared the bejesus out of me. I saw the episode over 20 years ago, but I can still see the sketches of the suspects in my head.

I think that's a movie, and she doesn't die

The episode of Tales from The Crypt with Don Rickles & Bobcat Goldthwait scared the shit out of me as a boy.

[bradleyjerome]

There was an episode of Tales from the Crypt where a guy's wife killed him, and he found out that you could still feel pain, see and hear everything when you were dead.

[hammersavage]

every episode of Unsolved Mysteries

[BlackSpider]

This I remember being scary when I was a kid...

The William Shatner Twilight Zone with the creature on the wing still gets to me. I hold on tight just thinking about it.

[Devo37]

no particular episode, but just the opening from Tales from the Darkside would scare me as a kid:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UnE3-0X-174&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UnE3-0X-174&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

it probably didn't help that the show would come on at like 11pm, when i was supposed to be in bed.

[Hepcat22]

Twight Zone - "Terror at Twenty Thousand Feet"
William Shatner sees a gremlin on the wing.

Saw it while I was in college.

[instrument]

I'm talking tina, and I don't like you.

[ruggedo]

There was an episode of Wagon Train, that I saw when I was very young. that gave me nightmares. Several cowboys were trapped in a cave. In an attempt to get out one fell into a hole he didnt see. Finally they got one out who went for help. When he came back the man that was left had aged terribly, white hair and a lost look in his eyes. It was never explained what happened down in that whole and I couldnt get it out of my head.
I was very young,like I said, and might not remember everything about it, but that image of the aged man stays with me even today. I would probably think it silly today.

[razorboy]

This thread is scary.

[Slumbag]

The fucking lodge scene from Twin Peaks terrified me as a kid. I remember my older sister forcing me to watch it with her, and just being horrified. Just seeing Laura Palmer scream still gives me goosebumps (I just watched it, and I'm a little freaked out).

Actually , not Trilogy of Terror, but another ABC movie fo the Week , called Don't be Afraid of the Dark.It starred Kim Darby fighting off these little creatures that were about a foot tall & lived in her chimney. Their heads looked like dried onions ,but they were goddamn creepy .

This episode gave me nightmares. Also in my later teens, early 20s when Faces of Death made the rounds.

[kinderwords]

What didn't scare me as a kid! I remember a few standouts. This child birth scene from V - The Final Battle gave me a few sleepless nights. I was 6 and pretty much scared of a really terrible hand puppet.

I forgot about that scene. I loved V

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

The opening of Chiller Theater. That six-fingered hand freaked me out every time.

[mikeyboy]

The opening of Chiller Theater. That six-fingered hand freaked me out every time.

I have no idea why, but when I was little, this opening used to scare me. I would run from the room as soon as I saw the match strike.

BIG TIME - the music and those trees

[Mikemantis]

The scariest i ever watched was a Ep of The X-Files where this guy was a evil creature who could stretch into any small area. So he would climb throw the chimney or other tight areas get into your hous and eat you. Well it was a two ep segement. It scared this shit out of me they guy was so damn creepy and weird. One part he worked for animal control and he was eating dead roadkill. So he picked up this dead cat and then lick his fingers man it was gross. Also he was making this cocoon to hibernate and it was just scary for me.

[RENFIELD]

I THOUGHT OF ANOTHER SCARY TV MOMENT FOR ME...

When I was a kid...
ONE STEP BEYOND re-runs were being shown at 11 pm...
I would still be awake.. with the tv on...
and the theme song would totally creep me out...

TV WOULD GO OFF IF I WAS STILL AWAKE TO HEAR IT...

[tanless1]

the scariest X-Files episode was Home (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_(The_X-Files)), about some murderous, incestuous Texas Chainsaw Massacre type of family. i don't think they even show it in repeats. that sh!t was creepy.

I think they used to refer to it as the "banned" episode. They do show sometimes on marathons, but I haven't seen it in several years. It is extremely creepy.

Tooms. He was in two X-Files episodes: Squeeze and Tooms

Another scary X-Files episode was Die Hand Die Verlezt, where Mulder and Scully come across the murders of children of Satanists. I was 20 or so when I saw, but if I saw it when I was a kid, it would have given me nightmares.
