Trek episodes that gave you the creeps

Maybe I am just a weakling, but there were a few Trek episodes that I found disturbing and gave me the creeps.

Offhand I can think of 2 I will never forget...

Equilibrium DS9- The episode where Jadzia Dax has these creepy hallucinations of this blank masked person and this eerie music. She finds out that the Dax symbiont had another host Joran.

Schisms TNG-Crew members were having trouble with sleep and everyone had some strange things wrong with them medically. There was also some issues with things being out of time. They find out they were being abducted by aliens from some subspace domain and being experimented on. I do enjoy this episode though because of the "Ode to Spot" poem in the beginning. ;)

Any episodes you all found disturbing or gave you the creeps?
 
Some of the scenes in Jetrel were kinda creepy. The way Kes looked with the effects of the Metreon Cascade were particularly creepy.
 
Only a couple come to mind for me.

Voyager - First contact with species 97?? on the Borg ship when Harry was looking around.

TNG - Early in season one. The scene with Ricker in the boy toy costume. That one still creaps me out to the point that I have to turn my head and FF through the scene.
 
I agree with about Schisms, the scene where Beverly tells Riker that his arm had been amputated and then surgically reattached?!?! I liked the look on Rikers face, but I was horrified by that very concept of being abducted while asleep.
 
Voyager, can't remember the name of the episode, where there are aliens doing experiments on the crew, and we see Janeway sitting there with needle like things going into her head. Very creepy.

And of course, TOS episode Charlie X. Hormonal teenager with super powers and the things he does to the crew.

Ugh yeah that one was really creepy too. That was "Scientific Method" in season 4.
 
"Miri" really creeped me out when I was a kid. Still does a little bit.

The scene in "Tribunal" (I think) where O'Brien gets one of his molars yanked out by his Cardasssian captors always creeps me out. I have a huge fear of dentists.
 
What about TNG's "Genesis" with Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome? Especially the Barclay-Spider and the Worf-Creature!
 
The scene in Dark Frontier where all thos epeople are being assimilated.

I agree with the person wboave who thinks the first appearance of 8472 is creepy.

The Thaw had a chilling ending. I like the way it protrays death as a soft, quiet thing.

The first time I saw Conspiracy, I had to watch THAT bit with my hands over my eyes. Scared the crap out of me. Of course, I was only about 12...
 
That double TNG ep where they go back to San Francisco and Guinan is there.. and there are these really creepy in a cave scenes with aliens doing creepy things to their bodies.

And yes to the VOY ep with the needles.
 
Remember TNG's Identity Crisis, the mystery of what was happening to those crewman from the away mission was spooky as a kid especially when Geordi was in the holodeck working out the mystery and that vague figure appeared, scary stuff to eight year olds.
 
I'm surprised no one has mentioned TNG's Night Terrors, especially the scene where all the bodies sit up in the morgue on an unsuspecting Crusher.

Ooo, yeah these are creepy ones too. I hated the Thaw...I hate circus/clown things especially all deranged like that

Ugh yeah, those alien things were disturbing too.

I also kind of found "Move Along Home" from DS9 kind of creepy where that little girl is singing the rhyme and jumping on those steps over and over again.

Yeah, I forgot about that episode the one were they weren't getting any REM sleep and started hallucinating, though the viewer didn't know that and things just got scary.
 
I thought of another one..

Waking Moments VOY- Where everyone is having nightmares that all have this same alien in them. All the crew ends up falling asleep unable to wake up due to some dampening field put up by the aliens. They all end up in the same collective dream..and some other stuff I can't think of now :P
