I thought "Time Is on my Side" was probably the creepiest episode of Supernatural.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I think it's interesting that The Benders and Family Remains have no interaction with the supernatural. It's alllll humans.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
It's alllll humans.
I think that's part of what raises the scary factor of those eps for me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Those were titles I gleaned from various boards on "scariest episodes" searches.
Also, is there a Buffy episode you think is scarier than "Hush"?
Personally, I might argue for "Helpless" or even "The Harvest." "Lie to Me" is another possibility.
Thinking about it I realized that Buffy really wasn't a horror show at all. That thematically it's entirely a superhero show with superhero concerns. Obviously, Joss revels in all the mixing and matching of genres, but it really does seem to come back to "with great power comes great responsibility."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Same with Home for X-Files. As Dean would say..."Demons I get. Humans are crazy.".
But it depends on what scares you--being chased down and then killed by a ravaging angel

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also, after doing my due diligent research I'm realizing that Dan Curtis is The Man when it comes to TV horror. Certainly up there with Rod Serling and Richard Matheson.
He created Dark Shadows, and Night Stalker and Trilogy of Terror (Karen Black v. Zuni doll). He also did the ABC TV movie versions of "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" and the Jack Palance Dracula (which is playing on the screens at the goth club in "Lie to Me").

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think I would put "Passion" or "innocence" of my list of scary Buffy eps.
"Normal Again" would also be on my list, but that might reflect my own issues.

Right! I tend to think of them as emotionally wrecking but they are certainly horrifying too. Angel's at his most sinister.

What about scariest Angel episodes?
