10 Most Terrifying Scenes In Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Burdened with financial difficulties, Buffy applies for a job at the Doublemeat Palace, where she spends her time flipping burgers and serving customers.

But, as you might expect, things are far from perfect at the Doublemeat Palace. When one of her co-workers goes missing, Buffy starts to suspect foul play, and her suspicions are confirmed when she discovers several body parts in the back of the restaurant.

It soon transpires that an old lady – who’s often referred to as the “Wig Lady” – is behind the sinister events at the Doublemeat Palace. She then corners Buffy and reveals her true form: a giant, worm-like demon with the ability to paralyse its victims.

Watching the worm sprout from the Wig Lady’s head is bad enough, but Buffy’s paralysis is even more terrifying. As the seconds slip by, she loses control of her muscles and is unable to defend herself against this grotesque demon.

Luckily, Willow turns up and slices the worm in two before throwing it into the meatgrinder. It’s a gruesome end for a disgusting animal that sticks in your mind long after you’ve finished the episode.
