Don't need the first. 
Yeah, I didn't buy that myself.

When did Star Trek scare you?

Janeway's most gangsta moment.
That one had a scary scene amidst all the silliness (shortened here):
I know when you were nine, your parents took you to that colony, the radiation disaster, humanitarian mission. You visited a hospital. You remember.
You wandered off by yourself where you weren't supposed to be.
You saw people and things you weren't supposed to see. Sick and dying.
Try clicking your heels together three times. Oh, but your legs are restrained, aren't they? Just like that little girl you saw on the operating table.
The doctor called for a scalpel. She looked at you, her face filled with fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Do you remember?

"Terok Nor", "Frame of Mind", and I think "Night Terrors" legitimately creeped me the hell out.
I don't know if I ever got scared but thinking about the disease from "The Quickening" unnerves me.
"Schisms(TNG)" is one of the best Berman Era episodes in the franchise for giving you heebie-jeebies.
Funny you should mention "Eye of the Beholder."
Over the course of the past 45 minutes (as I began to type this), three things just happened to me:
First, I was jarred awake from a weird dream. In the dream, I was still up, that very night, and had gone out to the garage for something when I heard a knock at the door. Then the doorbell. I answered the door, and it was a neighbor, telling me that some neighbor (I didn't recognize the name) had died. As I went to wake up my father (who'd gone to bed some time earlier), I woke up myself, realized that it had been a dream, and went back to sleep.
Then I found myself jarred awake again. I don't have any kind of chronic problem with acid reflux, but on rare occasions, I do have acute episodes of it. And this was one of them, the worst I can remember. After taking two industrial-strength Tums, I found that there was still some lingering pain, and so I mixed up a strong sodium bicarb solution, gargled with it, swallowed a sip, gargled again, and swallowed another sip.
Then is where "Eye of the Beholder" comes in. Troi, and the phrase, "I know what I have to do," both popped into my head, in what had to be the strongest non-musical earworm I've ever experienced. I only vaguely remembered the episode, but I (to coin a phrase) "knew what I had to do." I had to get out my Chromebook, turn on my WiFi, and do a Google search to find the title and the Memory Alpha article. I'd remembered that a huge chunk of the episode had been Troi's empathic hallucination, but I couldn't remember whether or not the episode had been set in motion by an actual suicide, or if that had been part of the hallucination.
As I recall, the episode didn't scare me at any time; it was just . . . weird.
The Klingons in TMP always creep me out with their more vampire-like appearance and eerily uniform and regimented appearance, all with the same head ridge design. To this day the TMP Klingons are the scariest and most intimidating of all the Klingon makeup designs between 1967 and 2023.
When Enterprise was cancelled in 2005.
Being serious now, I think the first "scary" episodes I saw as a kid was TNG's "The Best of Both Worlds" two-parter and "Conspiracy" with the brain critters.
Which episode was this?
The penultimate episode? Episode 9 of Season 3, I think, or maybe Episode 8?
I do not remember a monster tribble in Picard. Are you thinking of Prodigy?
Nope. There's a mutated monster tribble on the Section 31 storage station that gives Worf a jump scare.
