10 Most Horrifying Star Trek Moments

1. Clicks In The Dark

This is easily one of the scariest scenes in Star Trek as a franchise, standing a head and shoulders above the rest. This scene, set entirely on the holodeck, features some of the main cast becoming so frightened, one moment after another, that it is close to impossible to watch it without feeling that sense of dread.

The scene begins slowly, with Troi guiding them through a reconstruction of what, initially, is felt to be a shared dream. They agree that they were all in a darkened room. They agree that there was a table in the room. No, not made of wood - metal. There was a restraint on the table. Above the head, a swing arm with a blade, serrated.

With the setting agreed on, they begin to remember sounds. First, it's whispers. No, not whispers. Clicking. Lots of clicking. Loud. Faster.

The scene ends in one of the most heart-pumping, toe curling moments ever, as Geordi, Riker and even Worf all agree, in dread, that they have been in this room before.
