animation What's the most disturbing/frightening episode of a show you've seen?

[PCutter 127]

For me, it's the last segment of the 1st Terror Tales of the Park from Regular Show.

Apart from that it's Teen Titans' Fear Itself. 

I think it's these two that seriously freaked me out because they had a lot of really scary things onscreen. But for Regular show, it was initially frightening but now I actually so hard I hurt.

So what other disturbing episodes in any TV show did you see?

Made in Abyss one episode was pretty graphic on its portrayal of one scene. I wouldn't call it disturbing per se as It was brilliantly executed, but it had the biggest impact on me out of any shows that I've watched

[Phill 1,285]

The Sum Of His Parts from Teen Titans. 

Speed Demon from The Powerpuff Girls 

 

[Flow 1,619]

Perhaps its the episode "Ink Lemonade" from SpongeBob Squarepants. Words cannot describe how disgusting that episode (And the newer seasons of a show that needs to end) is.

Courage the Cowardly Dog “Perfect”. That scared me when I was younger. 

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,627]

The tapeworm episode from Mr. Meaty takes the cake.

The ORIGINAL "Ducktails"

I don't know the episode name, it was just late in the series run. (Just Google it. "Bubba's Big Brainstorm" season 3 episode 8) Gyro Gearloose invented a helmet that made cave duck Bubba hyper intelligent. well mannered, and cultured.  The new super smart Bubba came to realize none of his friends liked him any more. He destroyed the helmet and became stupid cave duck Bubba again. It freaked me out. Smart Bubba COMMITTED SUICIDE! I remember it made me cry.

"King Ramses' Curse," from Courage the Cowardly Dog is one the really left shivers up my spine. Wanna know why? Watch this.

Watch from 32 seconds. Ramses essentially kills two thieves by letting them be eaten alive by a plague of insects. If you watch the full episode and just watch how he's animated and voiced; it's just SO creepy.

[heavens-champion 1,893]

I can't remember. Then again, that could be because it was so terrifying I blocked it out of my memory.

[Envy 5,998]

There was this one episode from David Tennant's Doctor Who. It directly preceded (or followed, I forget, but I think preceded) the two-part "Library" episodes, which were incredibly disturbing in of themselves. The episode is called "Midnight".

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

I watch Ghost Adventures and it can be unsettling at times. I don't think I can name specific episodes because there are so many that fit the description. Many ghost hunting shows are junk, and this one isn't a huge exception, but it can be interesting and some episodes are very disturbing.

this !

 

[Here No Longer 5,270]

I can't really think of it off the top of my head, but the episode "Anatomy Park" from Rick and Morty is pretty freaking disturbing.

 

 

[Shadowmoth2011 146]

The 6teen special "Dude of the Living Dead" was surprisingly pretty damn intense. There's a zombie infestation in the mall and the danger feels VERY real. And seeing the teens THIS terrified and worried (especially sweet lil Caitlin) is pretty dang gutwrenching honestly 

[Megas 27,064]

There's an episode of King of the Hill that ends with Luanne and Peggy watching a man horribly die from a meat processor and kinda brush it off. Pigmaleon. It's not like it's a bad episode or anything, but even if you try passing it off as a "Halloween" episode(since the last act takes place during a Halloween party), it still feels incredibly out of place the kind of show it is

Two Ren & Stimpy episodes come to mind.  

 

The 1st episode "A Yard Too Far", an outright disturbing version of the Yogi Bear "Pie Pirates" cartoon of the duo trying to retrieve some "cookies" resting to cool from a window in a backyard guarded by the vicious baboon.  When it comes to their 2nd plan to retrieve the "cookies", Ren laughs oddly strange, then Stimpy laughs oddly strange with him, they both laugh oddly strange together.  To top this scene, Ren does something that shocks you to the stomach so much that you're going to have to watch the uncut version of the episode if you can find it your tough voyage online.  Their final plan to retrieve the "cookies" has them disguising themselves as the wife and just unthinkable disturbing when what it is the husband wants Ren and Stimpy, who are both disguised as the wife, to do.  

 

The 2nd episode "An Abe Divided", the duo saw off the Lincoln Memorial's head to remove a treasure in it  After this is accomplished, Ren freaks out in a weird way when he realizes the Memorial head is no longer there and the wacky ideas he and Stimpy have to replace it.  What's worse is the episode, more so the headless Memorial itself, resembles the chaotic, harsh ideal divisive, online crowd toxic and very toilet-ish America we live in today  Also in the episode, Ren's attempt to slip into the giant head involves huge nose picking and the guy's name who hired them to guard the Memorial.

I can't exactly put it all into terms, but I've seen a few Walking Dead episodes that were pretty disturbing, I think? It's been years, so I can't say for sure.

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

I recently watched a Fairly Odd Parents episode called "It's a Wishful Life" out of curiousity where Timmy Turner was tired of being underappreciated so he wished he didn't exist and he walked around town seeing if nobody missed him. Everyone seemed much happier without him and they had no health or financial problems.

The lesson at the end of "you should do good deeds because it's the right thing to do, not because you want attention" was nice but it felt like not much was resolved. Timmy went with the idea of "I'd rather be alive with the possibility of inconviencing others" which, well of course it's good he chose to stick around but the fact that he still feels like a huge inconvienience, even to his usually supportive fairies, seems very wrong. Perhaps this changes for the better in future episodes but I have not investigated this.

Squidward in clarinetland frightened me when I was a child. Such a good psychological horror in a kids show

That’s interesting. A similar angle was used in an episode of Transformers called Grimlock’s Brain. By biting into cables inside Unicron’s head, he somehow gained a portion of his vast knowledge. But after building a new Autobot named Computron, he had nothing to fill its data banks except for the genius mind he just acquired. So he transferred all that data to Computron and went back to being regular not so smart Grimlock. 
 

But the most disturbing episode of Transformers G1 was Dark Awakening where Optimus Prime is revived and apparently dies again by the time it’s over.
