6 Horrific Episodes That Scare Us

31/10/2020

What if Halloween was the occasion to watch or replay the most terrifying episodes of the series? If you want to spend your evening shaking, with your eyes hidden behind your hands, here are six of them that should please you.

"Hush" - Buffy the Vampire Slayer

A classic for Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans. One of the best episodes of the series, but also one with the most terrifying monsters of the 7 seasons. The Gentlemen, who suck in the voice of an entire city to be able to attack their victims in silence. Their face of death and the way they move, floating just above the ground, still haunt the minds of fans.

"The Bent-Neck Lady" - The Haunting of Hill House

The Netflix horror series was a real phenomenon when it arrived on the platform in 2018. A ghost story that is both terrifying and moving, and this fifth episode certainly won't say otherwise. There we learn the truth about this mysterious bent-neck woman who has haunted Nell for her entire life, and the revelation is as heartbreaking as it is frightening.

"Tooms" - The X-Files

The choice could have fallen on "Home", the most controversial episode of the nineties show, but as early as its first season, The X-Files knew how to put forward the horror in an effective way with one of its most iconic villains: Eugene Tooms. And it is no one but David Nutter, cast to direct this episode with such an unhealthy atmosphere, who then directed the Game of Thrones episode "The Rains of Castamere".

"Blink" - Doctor Who

Any fan of the British series will tell you; "Blink" is definitely one of the best. But also, the creepiest of Doctor Who. It is part of season 3, when David Tennant was still playing the Doctor and 13 years after its first broadcast, it still haunts people's minds. And their nightmares. Imagine an angelic statue approaching you when you just blink your eyes? With his demonic face taking shape...

"Halloween" (Parts One and Two) - American Horror Story

What would a selection of creepy episodes be without American Horror Story. Even more so with a title like this! This is a double episode of the first season, "Murder House", written by two former X-Files writers: James Wong and Tim Minear. It is about ghost children and a terrifying man in the latex suit. A real waking nightmare.

"Coma" - Twin Peaks

If the first season of the series of Mark Frost and David Lynch puts us directly in its freezing and unhealthy atmosphere, season 2 takes Twin Peaks to a whole new level, and its second episode certainly won't tell the opposite... There is one scene in particular in which Maddy has a frightening vision of Bob. We are still trembling.
