Remmick. I'm amazed that was allowed on television (as I understand it, in some places it sometimes was not).
Other nominees are:
- Reconstructing the aliens' "abduction room" on the holodeck in Schisms.
- Nagilum offing that Conn officer in Where Silence Has Lease.

What about (Bajoran) Dukat in bed with Kai Winn?
Despie not being a TOS fan, this was the first one that came into my head when I saw the question too.
It's quite creepy when you see it as a kid, at least in my experience.
Ditto.
Yep. Both of them.
Me too.
I'll also float Vanna being tortured by the rays in TOS: The Cloud Minders. I was a child when I first saw this, and it left a mark.
In a similar vein, I also found the execution scene in VOY: Remember disturbing.
Also, there's something about the phaser dematerialization effect in TOS that is more disturbing to me than the same in any other series. Maybe it's the choice of color, a bright blue-green color, that is more often associated with ghosts, than the flame reds and oranges used in all other series [IIRC, except for TAS which used white flashes]. Subconsciously, to me it's as if turned directly into a ghost is a little creepier than being burned away, even though the Terrell scream obviously indicates conscious pain. I wish they had used the TOS effect in In a Mirror Darkly, part II.
And, let's not forget the Varon-T disruptor killing Varria in TNG: The Most Toys.
Gosh, I guess I find Star Trek quite disturbing.
The Charlie X scene. To this day I turn my head whenever she stumbles out.
^I'd forgotten that one. It is kind of freaky.

yah those scenes were awesome
David kirks son getting stabbed to death in TSFS always scared me when I was a kid .!!! And terrel zapping him self in TWOK
Never mind them blowing off his head. Him eating up that crab-roach hybrid thingie was far more disgusting imo.
Yeah, I agree- that image was not so good, either! Especially right after they had all been chowing down on those bowls of worms......
Another scene that startled and creeped me out was in "Wrath of Khan" when McCoy turned around and walked into the bloody, dangling arms of that corpse that Khan had left hanging upside down after torturing and killing the man.
