10 Most Terrifying Scenes In Buffy The Vampire Slayer
8. The Scooby Gang Venture Through A Haunted House (Season 4, Episode 4)
The UC Sunnydale Halloween Party does not go according to plan. When Oz accidentally summons Gachnar, the Bringer of Terror, the frat house morphs into a living nightmare with an array of frightening obstacles.
After surviving a swarm of bats and a knife-wielding skeleton, the gang become separated, and their sense of foreboding increases. Willow tries to cast a guiding spell, but her attempts prove to be futile. Oz, meanwhile, is overcome with a random bout of werewolfism, and Xander becomes totally invisible to the others – they can’t even hear him as he manoeuvres through the house. Even Buffy struggles to keep her cool as she stumbles across a murderous horde of zombies.
When the gang finally regroup, they have no trouble taking down Gachnar, as it turns out he’s only a couple of inches tall. It’s an amusing end to the episode, but our heroes go through plenty of terror beforehand.
