Apologize if there is a topic like this, I searched and searched... didn't find. 

What are some scary-horror inducing scenes that you'll always remember? 

It could be anything that creeped you out. Maybe even a scene that wasn't supposed to be scary, but... managed to freak you out.

I instantly have this one example.

Nola on Edge of Night... For some reason... this little moment with the face reveal disturbed me. Gave me the creeps. For some context - It's a wife of a man who has disguised herself as an old woman in order to befriend her husband's younger crush and poison her. Iconic stuff.

For weeks on Another World, a mystery man was stalking Felicia.  Jason Frame had given her a gun for protection.  At Felicia’s 40th birthday party, the mystery man disguised himself as a strongman from the circus. He followed Felicia into a hall of mirrors, and when she fired the gun- a dead Jason Frame came crashing through the mirrors.  The mystery man turned out to be Derek Dane- he was a young boy that lived in Felicia (Fannie Grady’s) house as a foster child.  He killed Felicia’s abusive father, Noah Grady.

Tried to locate the video on youtube but sadly it may have been removed, but I found the scenes of Veronica trying to kill Nikki at the Newman Ranch on Y&R to be not just thrilling but scary (and Veronica's overall look creepy). It was so scary to watch in real time as a kid, and rewatching it today it's a tour de force in directing. 

The David Kimble reveal was equally creepy/scary too. 

So many scenes from Y&R could be listed in this thread actually, just a testament to the directors, producers, and writers commitment to taking their job seriously.

I thought Jill terrorizing Val and and force feeding her sleeping pills on Knots was scary/creepy. 

Another KL storyline that was creepy was Laura's rape. It had elements of "Looking For Mr. Goodbar".

On Dallas I thought it was creepy when J.R. caused Pam to fall from the hayloft and miscarry. It was kind of played off as an accident, but J.R. was clearly walking towards her on his knees probably figuring she would try to pull away. That WHAM! when she fell also made you think she broke her neck or fractured her scull.

    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed. 
    • Brandon Tartikoff saved NBC primetime. Brandon Stoddard got ABC Tuesday to rebound and put an end to the Aaron Spelling hit factory.
    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
