Creepier Scene?

[Commander Ryker]

Yup Schisms...they severed his arm, what else did they sever.....mwahaahhahahaha

the clicking and the whole loss of memory was brilliant, shame they showed the fish monks at the end. Not knowing what they looked like even till the end of the episode would have been even freakier. Shame they didn't follow this up on TV like they did with the comic series.

Sorry to ask this, but what happened in the comic series?

Night Terrors, dead bodies always creep me out. Yes, even at funerals. So dead bodies suddenly sitting up. My heart stopped.

I think the scene in "Sub Rosa" when the Ronen (sp) thing makes Crusher's nanna's body sit up in her casket..... chills down my spine.

I find the Night Terrors scene creepier, but I find the episode Schisms creepier overall. Other than the mentioned scene, I don't find Night Terrors creepy at all, despite the fact that they try really heard to drum up an unsettling atmosphere (which I think they pretty much achieve). It's just that the threat in Schisms is more visceral for me than Night Terrors'.

Well I think Schisms really was trying to do a 24th Century version of a UFO Abduction. While the episode was kinda creepy, it really isn't as much as Night Terrors, which was trying to portray Fear on a more primal level, a level at which one cannot fight back (you can at least shoot aliens even if you still lose, but you go down fighting. How do you fight when the fear is inside you?)

Schisms is a great episode, but Night Terrors has a great "creepy" factor to it.

I'd also nominated... "Man of the People" (?) that episode with the telepath who goes around and "mind rapes" people. There's no overly unsettling scenes in it along the lines of Night Terrors, Schisms or Frame of Mind but some of the "mind rapes" come close.

Another TiC "creepy scene."

Picard's holiday trunks in "Captain's Holiday."

Definately.

I think it must be a personal thing. For me, I felt the fear in Schisms. In Night Terrors, I was just watching other people being afraid and I didn't really feel it myself.

So dead bodies sitting up didn't make you run for the bedroom light?

Oh, um, because me neither.

[Tachyon]

^ LOL. For me it was definitely creepier. I watched the episode during the daylight, so no need to run for the bedroom lights (or in my case living room lights).

That scene is creepier for me than the scene in Schisms that the OP compares it to, but overall, I found Schisms to be a creepier episode.

 

[Amaris]

Well, Tachyon, I watched it when I was supposed to be in bed for school the next day. It became obvious by all that I was awake.

Ah. Schizms made me a bit paranoid, but not creeped out.

Are you joking? That scene was hilarious, it was one of the cheesiest things I've ever seen in Trek.

^ Although if you're not expecting it, it can startle you.

I was on board with the ep until that moment. I thought Nana sitting up in her coffin was pretty naff.

The first time it was aired, it was late at night, I was sitting up with a teething baby, so maybe my nerves were frazzled to begin with.

 

[USSHermes]

I vote for Schisms, but not the scene you mentioned. I found the scene in the holodeck where they recreated their experience really creepy. It was a long detailed scene that slowly built more and more tension. By the end when they were all in the dark, with a spotlight shining over them, and that spooky clicking all around now that was creepy.

So True - that and the Geordi metamorphosis episode are spine-tingling!

 

[TheQman]

Schisms is my fav episode. I get goosebumps every time I see the holodeck scene.

 

[Holdfast]

Between the following scenes:

1) "Night Terrors" - Crusher alone in the morgue with all the bodies shifting and sitting up.

2) "Schisms" - Riker and Rager in the alien's laboratory in a different dimension.

I agree that these two are probably TNG's scariest eps, but for entirely different scenes. As others have mentioned, I found the Holodeck reconstruction scene is Schisms much spookier than the alien lab scene. And from Night Terrors, the Troi dream scenes with the "Eyes in the dark, one moon circling" voice were scarier than the morgue scene for me.

 

[buckeyenation]

The creepier scene is "Night Terrors", however "Schisms" is the better episode. Only because of "Ode to Spot".

 

[Admiral Shran]

Schisms. That episode freaked me right out of my skull when I first saw it. And it still gives me the creeps.
