The scariest episode of Star Trek?

Yeah, mixed the frustration of having to wait all summer to find out what happened...!
TOS episode "The Empath" sent a chill down my spine when I first saw it. Fred Phillip's makeup job on the 2 aliens was scary, and also the fact that Kirk, Spock, and McCoy were virtually helpless against the tortures of Lal and Thann really spooked me.
Not the episode, but the scene where you see a woman fumbling her way around a corner then you realise. she. hasn't. got. a. face!
Charlie X

Scared me half to death
Yeah, I was scared too when I was a boy watching it in the 70's. Charlie X as TOSalltheway says.
The first episode I ever saw was The Cloud Minders, and I (the little boy me) found the torture scene with Vanna tied to the post frightening.
I also think the sound of the Klingon phasers executing the Organians in the background in Errand of Mercy is kind of scary too.
But I only ever hid behind my knees rewatching Charlie X.
Oh, yeah, that was really creepy! One of the many reasons why I hate Charlie X.Not the episode, but the scene where you see a woman fumbling her way around a corner then you realise. she. hasn't. got. a. face!

What got me about that episode was a scene where the kids are beating Kirk, and they cut the a shot of a little girl just kind of smiling at the violence. Real disturbing to me.
TOS: "The Empath"
TNG: "Conspiracy"
DS9: "Empok Nor"
VOY: "Bliss"
ENT: "Impulse"

Yeah, that really creeped me out as a kid. Although I always thought of THE OUTER LIMITS as the "scary" scifi show back then, not STAR TREK.
TNG's Night Terrors.
I'm over 30 years old, and still look away when all those dead bodies sit up straight as Crusher's examining them!
This.
Of course, a woman without a mouth may not be that bad of an idea...
DUCKS!
Spider Barclay still disturbs me.
The scariest for me was The Man Trap. I saw it when I was 8 and the salt vampire scared me out of my wits. Not long after, I was given a copy of The Making of Star Trek, and it had a photo of the creature in it. I refused to look at that page for years.
Other moments that stand out for me are Worf spitting acid in Crusher's face and Barclay spider from Genesis, all of Conspiracy, and the faceless woman in Charlie X.

Distant Voices (DS9) was kind of creepy.
