10 Most Terrifying Moments In Game Of Thrones
4. Jon Suffocates Beneath The Bodies (Season 6, Episode 9)
‘The Battle of the Bastards’ is one of the best episodes in Game of Thrones. Determined to retake Winterfell, Jon gathers his forces and tries to defeat Ramsay’s army.
The battlefield quickly becomes a mass of blood and guts as the two sides butcher one another. Jon, despite his impressive fighting skills, struggles to keep his footing when Ramsay’s army closes in, and he’s soon submerged beneath a mass of bodies. As Jon gasps for air, screams of pain ripple around him, and he only just manages to force his way to the top.
This claustrophobic nightmare lasts for about a minute, but it feels much longer. Every second of Jon’s desperate situation is horrifying to witness. There’s just no let-up as the bodies continue to surround our beloved hero. He’s stuck in a heavy pile of muddy limbs and has to muscle through to the surface without any help whatsoever.
Whilst the entire battle is full of grim moments, this one is definitely the most terrifying.
