10 Most Terrifying Moments In Game Of Thrones

9. Cersei Tortures Septa Unella (Season 6, Episode 10)

Game of thrones

Cersei is one of the most hateable characters in Game of Thrones. She commits a long list of sinful deeds throughout the show, but her most infamous crime is the destruction of the Great Sept of Baelor.

Though this explosive act of mass murder is abhorrent, the scene with Septa Unella is the more terrifying. Strapped to a bench with no chance of escape, Unella struggles to breathe as wine pours onto her face. Cersei then delivers a bone-chilling monologue before asking Gregor Clegane (the Mountain) to come into the room.

The presence of the Mountain is what makes this scene so frightening. Whilst we don’t actually see what happens next, the implication is that something horrific is about to take place. As Cersei closes the door behind her, the last thing we hear is Unella’s terrified screams.

This is also Unella’s final scene. We never get any confirmation about what happened to her, which leaves us with a horrifying sense of uncertainty.
