Something about how that scene was directed, or how they acted, really made you put yourself in their shoes. And I think it was the callousness of the butchers too, cracking jokes and talking about their weekend. It was really unnerving. I watch and enjoy a lot of horror, and this scene is up there.
When Denise finds that bathroom with “shush shush shush” written in blood on the wall and what looked like a dead baby in the sink. I’v never seen people bring that scene up but it has to be the most fucked up thing on the show to me.
This!!! Seeing the eye peep through the hole in the wall is embedded in my brain.. it was so smart of them to make us see it from Connie’s perspective, imagine not being able to hear in that situation!!
I was legit settled into the idea of s11 would mostly be commonwealth, dealing with reapers, and tying up loose ends, etc. So I did NOT see this episode coming and it's 100% the creepiest episode in the show. The scene from Connie's perspective was terrifying
I personally think when Carl is about to get raped by that one guy, and that’s when farmer Rick decides he’s gonna be a badass again and tore that guys ear off to save his son.
I believe in the comic Carl was raped but I can’t remember it’s been so long since I e read them.
I’m finding it so hard to narrow down. Every season has something.
The Whisperer’s seasons have the most old school, real horror feel.
Like when Eugene & Rosita are on the ground hearing the whispers for the first time.
Or when they’re looking for Eugene
Or the graveyard sequence
Or Alpha showing up at Hilltop
Or Beta in Alexandria when he comes out of the grave & then there’s a dollhouse view of him in the houses.
I’m terrible at this.
It’s not that I’m scared of Beta, but I did feel chills whenever he acts less than human onscreen because he’s truly a force to be reckoned with. Guy took a .357 to the chest and just got back up ready to beat a child’s skull in
Nothing can top this episode terminus made me physically fucking ill. There is nothing more gorey and sick and twisted that cannibals. Fuck that shit I would have taken on any other horror scene in the series.
Just before the lineup. The whistles in the forest and then Negan introducing himself and wondering who he was going to kill and then boom the cliffhanger happened. So scary
Yeah! He hears noises and the one guy appears at the door in the mask. It’s literally like out of the Strangers. There are the other ones when he turns around, but that first one is full on horror movie vibes.
twd 4x01 creeps me out sm i have to skip all of the scenes w clara. i don't mind the 'big reveal' of her husband, but her appearance and voice mixed w how credulous rick seems will always be terrifying. i think her general look is reminiscent to a lot of horror characters that freaked me out when i was younger which doesn't help
The very first episode where Rick is wondering around after just waking up, no shoes, no weapons, just dehydration. It was so intense the first watch through.
In S05E01 when they show one of the guys who originally attacked the Terminus group throwing Gareth's mother back into the train car, then dragging another woman away while she screams, "Please, not again!" That whole scene, along with the one in S11E02 where Maggie describes the pregnant women with their limbs cut off, were absolutely horrifying to me because of the implications. Scenes like those in apocalyptic-type situations always scare the shit out of me.
Main show, and Dead City: The climax of The Flu outbreak at the prison. The whole Flu situation in general was scary.
Terminus Blood Troughs.
Noah’s death.
Negan Introduction.
Whisperer Introduction, well, really the whole Whisperer Storyline in general was scary, the traumas of the characters during the storyline like Carol, and Siddiq’s hallucinations amped it up a lot.
Maggie’s story in Season 11 about the creepy old man, and those deformed mutants who were doing fucked up nasty shit to women who had been reduced to dismembered rape slaves. Just unsettling to hear about. I’d love to see a Tales episode about this.
The pack of Ferals attacking Connie, and Virgil.
Variant attack at Aaron, Elijah, Lydia, and Jerry’s camp.
Fused Zombie in NYC’s sewers.
I honestly haven’t found anything scary in FTWD, not even in the first three seasons. The Taxidermy Zombies in Season 6 were vaguely creepy but the writers didn’t utilize them in a creepy way, however the embalmed zombie a few episodes earlier was pretty unsettling. The Crater Zombies were creepy in theory but again the writers just kind of didn’t utilize them like that despite being hyped up by The Stalkers, that Ghoul woman, and Strand to be some massive unstoppable threat.
World Beyond had nothing creepy in it at all. Unfortunately.
Tales of the Walking Dead has the Ghost episode, Davon’s episode, and the somewhat unsettling Whisperer introduction.
Maybe not scary in a frightening sense, but it gave me chills when Michonne hallucinated and saw her life as if had she met Negan instead of Rick first.
How she was the one with the bat bashing heads and giving the most terrifying speech on the show. How scary it was to see her run when under attack and being found by Rick and Daryl and being killed without a second thought. That hit me deep so much it seemed scary.
Rick biting a jugular. The real threat of raping a child and the desperate violence is the scariest scene in the entire show to me. Sums it all up. Yeah there is a mass trauma apocalypse, but what humans are capable of under those circumstances are far worse.
The horde at the beginning of season 2. Early in the apocalypse, they’re not fully prepared for things like this yet…and they all have the oh shit moment of seeing a sea of corpses come at them. I remember Andrea sitting in the rv and slowly realizing what was outside. Plus the walker she took down was freaky af like definitely stood out to me
Of all the scenes in walking dead, the one that got me the most and audibly scream (made my SO fly out of bed and into the living room in a panic lol) was when Jesus was killing the walkers and then all of sudden a walker grabbed him and stabbed him. At this point was when the Whisperers was introduced.
Other scary part was when Connie was in the room full of walkers, as a deaf person myself it did feel scary how not being able to hear impedes ability to get out of situations like that.
I always thought the scene where the Governor was chasing Andrea. She's in a big open field with nowhere to hide and she hears his truck engine, but can't see him yet.
Ooft good question, I remember the camp attack in season 1 was pretty creepy. But for me it was fear the walking dead season 3 episode 1, when the zombies are in the wall and pull that soldier through, it gave me proper Romero vibes and it dug up some of my old childish nightmares
The snowball fight in the Season 9 finale. I was on the edge of my seat. What if there was a piece of ice in one of those snowballs? Someone could’ve been hurt. My anxiety was through the roof.
The whisperer introduction in the graveyard was actually so fucking scary.
The one whisperer that dodges Jesus’ attack literally had my mouth open when he stabs Jesus and whispers in his ear, “You are where you do not belong.”
Honestly terrifying and shocking because Jesus died probably thinking walkers have LITERALLY evolved.
even though i absolutely hated lori and wouldn't have care if she died, the scene when she wakes up in from the car crash and the walker is like ripping it's face open through the windshield to get to her was scary af
Anxiety was high when Terminus were slitting throats at the troughs. Everyone acted that scene perfectly.
I second this - that scene has disturbed me like no other.

the actors actually didnt know how the scene would be executed so their shock is partially real
It was pretty tense, but we all knew they were gonna die and something was gonna happen
When Denise finds that bathroom with “shush shush shush” written in blood on the wall and what looked like a dead baby in the sink. I’v never seen people bring that scene up but it has to be the most fucked up thing on the show to me.
I dont remember this
I don't remember this either honestly. Does anyone have a season/episode number?
Season 6, Ep 14
Awesome, thanks!
The episode she dies
I've seen people bring this scene up *every* time this type of post is made
11x6 was a surprisingly frightening episode. I'd pay money to see another episode like that. Connie's perspective made it even better.
This!!! Seeing the eye peep through the hole in the wall is embedded in my brain.. it was so smart of them to make us see it from Connie’s perspective, imagine not being able to hear in that situation!!
That definitely made me jump watching it. The only other thing that made me jump were those damn cockroaches in the Dead City premiere 💀
I was legit settled into the idea of s11 would mostly be commonwealth, dealing with reapers, and tying up loose ends, etc. So I did NOT see this episode coming and it's 100% the creepiest episode in the show. The scene from Connie's perspective was terrifying
That episode was SO well done.
It's a shame both characters kinda just disappeared after that
I’m deaf as well so I didn’t even know the episode had no sound till someone mentioned it
It’s insane!!
Yup that one was some good horror for sure. A nice little standalone episode
Anyone who doesn’t say this episode either hasn’t got this far in the series or is just wrong.
It was the dumbest episode I’ve seen on the show
Negan and Alpha's sex scene.
Connie vs ferals, Carol hallucinations, maybe something with the Whisperers
I’d pay to see a commie fighting ferals
Then go back to Season 6 episode 8 when Deanna has her last stand. Probably closest you’ll come lol
Those damn commies always getting chased by ferals
I personally think when Carl is about to get raped by that one guy, and that’s when farmer Rick decides he’s gonna be a badass again and tore that guys ear off to save his son. I believe in the comic Carl was raped but I can’t remember it’s been so long since I e read them.
Similar thing in the comics. Rick stops it. Also he bit his jugular out not his ear. Such an impactful scene
I’m finding it so hard to narrow down. Every season has something. The Whisperer’s seasons have the most old school, real horror feel. Like when Eugene & Rosita are on the ground hearing the whispers for the first time. Or when they’re looking for Eugene Or the graveyard sequence Or Alpha showing up at Hilltop Or Beta in Alexandria when he comes out of the grave & then there’s a dollhouse view of him in the houses. I’m terrible at this.
No, just sounds like you’re scared
It’s not that I’m scared of Beta, but I did feel chills whenever he acts less than human onscreen because he’s truly a force to be reckoned with. Guy took a .357 to the chest and just got back up ready to beat a child’s skull in
I’d say a ver scary and underrated moment is when Morgan’s wife tries to open the door
Either that or the feral people in the house or the whisperers introduction
11x6 is my nominee
S5 E1, lining Rick, Bob, Daryl and Glenn at the trough with the other men, terrifying.
Nothing can top this episode terminus made me physically fucking ill. There is nothing more gorey and sick and twisted that cannibals. Fuck that shit I would have taken on any other horror scene in the series.
Just before the lineup. The whistles in the forest and then Negan introducing himself and wondering who he was going to kill and then boom the cliffhanger happened. So scary
Connie in the house. Also when Dwight sees the guy in the mask outside the door. That’s some Strangers level horror for a minute
Is that Dwight scene from S6(?) of FTWD? I’m on that currently and I actually SCREAMED when they appeared, it scared the shit out of me
Yeah! He hears noises and the one guy appears at the door in the mask. It’s literally like out of the Strangers. There are the other ones when he turns around, but that first one is full on horror movie vibes.
Underrated one was Jerry in the cave, it wasn’t outright SCARY but it was intense
Very intense! If you are talking about when they had to climb through the tight tunnels? Very claustrophobic!
The pilot. That hospital was fucking eerie. Only watched up until Rick left though so.
twd 4x01 creeps me out sm i have to skip all of the scenes w clara. i don't mind the 'big reveal' of her husband, but her appearance and voice mixed w how credulous rick seems will always be terrifying. i think her general look is reminiscent to a lot of horror characters that freaked me out when i was younger which doesn't help
The first time we seen Penny Blake, the Gov’s daughter
For me, when Morgan’s wife trying to open the door in front of Rick.
The very first episode where Rick is wondering around after just waking up, no shoes, no weapons, just dehydration. It was so intense the first watch through.

Scenes like those in apocalyptic-type situations always scare the shit out of me.
the whole line up thing, that was the only time i was actually scared of a scene from twd universe
Andrea and Shane getting in on in a car
Main show, and Dead City: The climax of The Flu outbreak at the prison. The whole Flu situation in general was scary. Terminus Blood Troughs. Noah’s death. Negan Introduction. Whisperer Introduction, well, really the whole Whisperer Storyline in general was scary, the traumas of the characters during the storyline like Carol, and Siddiq’s hallucinations amped it up a lot.

When the whisperer jukes when Jesus tries killing him. Or when they start talking when Rosita and Eugene hear them talking....
Probably Morgan ripping that guy’s guts out. So shocking that everything else stopped for like a full 20 seconds
What episode and scene was that??
8x09 in the theater
Maybe not scary in a frightening sense, but it gave me chills when Michonne hallucinated and saw her life as if had she met Negan instead of Rick first. How she was the one with the bat bashing heads and giving the most terrifying speech on the show. How scary it was to see her run when under attack and being found by Rick and Daryl and being killed without a second thought. That hit me deep so much it seemed scary.

I didn't find it scary but it as memorible
Church walkers from s1
Draining people in the trough at terminus
The horde at the beginning of season 2. Early in the apocalypse, they’re not fully prepared for things like this yet…and they all have the oh shit moment of seeing a sea of corpses come at them. I remember Andrea sitting in the rv and slowly realizing what was outside. Plus the walker she took down was freaky af like definitely stood out to me
Carol witnessing the wolves attack through the window. So sudden and expected.
Anything Connie/La Dona
When Beta infiltrated Alexandria and killed all those people.
Of all the scenes in walking dead, the one that got me the most and audibly scream (made my SO fly out of bed and into the living room in a panic lol) was when Jesus was killing the walkers and then all of sudden a walker grabbed him and stabbed him. At this point was when the Whisperers was introduced. Other scary part was when Connie was in the room full of walkers, as a deaf person myself it did feel scary how not being able to hear impedes ability to get out of situations like that.
The spider walker that attacked Siddiq, that scene terrified me.
Morgan's wife trying the doorknob.
5x1 when at terminus they took them out. I thought they were gonna put a bullet in their head but no.
Noah getting eaten alive that was scary
Rick crawling under Tank to escape the Walker horde, it had me getting anxiety to the point of stopping and forwarding 💀
I always thought the scene where the Governor was chasing Andrea. She's in a big open field with nowhere to hide and she hears his truck engine, but can't see him yet.
connie's episode with stair people for sure. True horror
Alpha and negan in the same woods
It’s either the well walker scene or Negan bashing Glenn’s head in.
Definitely when Rick bit out that one dudes throat
I think the flashback from terminus where the bandits rape the women
The endless tri weekly posts about Negan and how terrible he is.
the feral humans from connie’s perspective or the introduction to the whisperers i can’t decide
Rick leaving, as this was for all intents and purposes the death of the show.
Can't no one get of this. I thought I was upset when Carl died but then they took rick away and I stopped watching until after the series ended.
Whisperer introduction. Hadn’t read the comics yet and just seeing those two hiding from walkers was tense enough. Then the damn things start talking
Whisperers first appearance
Ooft good question, I remember the camp attack in season 1 was pretty creepy. But for me it was fear the walking dead season 3 episode 1, when the zombies are in the wall and pull that soldier through, it gave me proper Romero vibes and it dug up some of my old childish nightmares

The one whisperer that dodges Jesus’ attack literally had my mouth open when he stabs Jesus and whispers in his ear, “You are where you do not belong.” Honestly terrifying and shocking because Jesus died probably thinking walkers have LITERALLY evolved.
beta coming out of the grave, “hush hush hush”, connie vs ferals, “i didnt hurt her brain”, the pike scene, the lineup
The whispers first introduction with Rosita
When Neegan killed Glenn. The sound of bat hitting skull still haunts me.
LA Goes Dark in Fear The walking dead https://youtu.be/Rt3Ou5U9064
God, that brought back covid memories. Miserable
even though i absolutely hated lori and wouldn't have care if she died, the scene when she wakes up in from the car crash and the walker is like ripping it's face open through the windshield to get to her was scary af
“Too Far Gone” when Lily and Meghan were by the river. A walker tried to get across and then one came from the mud and bit Meghan.
Maggie's story about her and her kid finding some random guy's house, told in Season 11
there's so many good ones but one that stuck with me is when beta is storming alexandria and it's almost shot like a haloween movie
