My sister and I were talking about Buffy. We love buffy. Nothing is really scary on buffy, Until this episode. I'M NOT SPOILERING IT. THE TITLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH WARNING.

How about The Silence from Doctor who?

Or possibly the Weeping Angels, also from Who.

What show has given you the heebee geebees!
Two and a Half Men.
Too easy.
Yes! The Gentlemen from Hush are terrifying! But it's also the atmosphere of the whole episode that really gets me! Accch!
Weeping Angels? I dunno what that is, but it looks creepy.
Every single episode of American Horror Story.
The weeping angels are statues that will move toward you if you blink or look away or even just close your eyes. If they touch you THAT'S IT! You're a gonner! DON'T BLINK!
The Weeping Angels were only creepy in their initial appearance. Then they started milking them and it was just blah. The implications of the Silence are pretty damn creepy though.
This freaked the trout out of me. Seriously. I've been fine with the blood, gore and graphic content in Dexter, but something about the slo-mo cam and seeing all of their limbs bouncing around like that just made me sick. It still freaks me out when I re-watch it, but I can't look away!
(It contains no spoilers about the Dexter plot or anything, so watch it!)
edit: oh trout ALSO
man this one X-Files episode has stayed with me to this day - Home. Opening scene is a baby arm sticking out of the dirt in a baseball field and the rest of the episode entails backwater mutants and inbreeding and all around creepiness.
I smurfing knew it'd be those assholes from Buffy. The other creepy thing in Buffy was Der Kinderstod or however you spell it.
The hospital monster :) "Child Death"Quote:

Other than that I can't really think of anything. I saw the first season of American Horror Story, but didn't find it scary. Just a little creepy a couple of times at the most. Also, the show just started to annoy me at some point. Saw the first episode of the 2nd season and it was equally meh.
There is plenty of unsettling TV, though. Twin Peaks e.g.
hey have you guys ever seen this show called x-files
It's hard to really explain why without spoilers, but the PsiCorps from Babylon 5 are smurfing terrifying. Bester is absolutely amazing in every way and it's a far better role for Koenig than Chekov ever was.
When I was a kid there was a spoof documentary on BBC1 called Ghost Watch, it scared the trout out of me.
that episode of are you afraid of the dark when those two kids went to boarding school and were being brainwashed to harvest alien eggs.
and the super-specs episode!
The Statue of Liberty Weeping Angel scared the trout out of me when it showed up. It's so smurfing huge with its big scary teeth blaring out. D:Quote:

This is so true. "Don't Blink" was great, making the weeping angels very creepy despite the innocuous nature of their actions, but every other incarnation of them has been progressively less so. The latest episode with them was just lame.Quote:
