10 Scariest Characters In Horror TV Shows
6. The Angel - Midnight Mass
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
A line from the bible, sure, but also a line used in Midnight Mass by Father Paul to convince his parish that what they see should not scare them... but nevertheless, it still does. For the angel of Midnight Mass is not what you picture when thinking of one.
Midnight Mass is a brand new Netflix show that unflinching critiques and analyses the catholic church and its preachings... with vampires?
Yes, it sounds a little strange but it is truly brilliant and chillingly claustrophobic. While the main villains may take the form of Father Paul, or rather Monsignor Pruitt, and narcissistic sociopath Bev Keane, no other character strikes fear into your heart the way that The Angel does.
A hulking mass of a creature, with amphibian-like skin, talons for hands and great, bat-like wings that span the width of a church, The Angel is nothing short of petrifying.
The show cleverly dishes out viewings of the creature in small glimpses at first. Dark shadows, glowing eyes in tall grass and character testimonies of creeping figures in the night all ramp up to the being lurching right at the camera.
They were sore afraid, sore very afraid.
