* [[http://youtu.be/HCJsOGtZVr8 The opening title music.]]
* The early episodes of the series set the course for all kinds of spooky. I mean, the monster eats the pilot in a far gruesome matter than what would later be canon. Certainly you must've gotten chills when Jack, Kate, and Charlie are visiting the cockpit. And the first time we see a dead person walking around the island (Christian) gave me the chills.
* Jacob's cabin, for one.
** Jacob himself, for two.
*** Except that wasn't him. We now know it was The Monster. I'd still like to know who the other guy was, though, the guy whose eye we saw.
* "Teresa falls up the stairs, Teresa falls down the stairs..."
* Just about anything to do with the hatch button, although the Swan training film is particularly notable in its creepiness.
** For me, ''NOTHING'' in the entire show was scarier than when [[spoiler: the countdown ran out and Egyptian symbols started appearing instead of numbers]].
*** Add to that [[spoiler: the automated voice saying "SYSTEM FAILURE" over and over again, the sound of something metallic smashing repeatedly against the other side of the wall, and that low hum getting louder and louder]]... the whole thing continues to haunt my viewing memories.
* The dynamite at the end of season 1. I had already seen it once, and it was ACTUALLY WORSE the second time through.
** And if that wasn't enough, in season 6 [[spoiler: the same damn thing happens again. Illana was making me real nervous with the bag full of dynamite, but figured her PlotArmor was strong enough that it wouldn't happen. Clearly I [[AnyoneCanDie forgot what show he was watching.]]]]
* "[[OneWingedAngel I'm sorry you had to see me like that.]]" [[{{HSQ}} So are we]].
* How about after [[spoiler: Ben moves the Island]] and several characters begin experiencing "time flashes" which are accompanied by a blinding flash and a increasingly loud noise that sounds like chimes, followed by a whooshing sound and magnetic humming. Hear it [[http://www.entertonement.com/clips/xlgqtprrfn--Time-travel-soundLost-Ringtones-Because-You-Left-Lost-Season-5-Ep-1-Because-You-Left- here]].
* Ben terrifies me at times. That creepy unblinking stare of his... *shudders*
** "YOU KILLED MY DAUGHTER!" Although it's a [[CrowningMomentofAwesome CMoA]] for Ben, it doesn't change the fact that it's absolutely TERRIFYING.
** For me, Ben's most terrifying moments were in season 2 when he was a prisoner. How scary are you when you're tied up in a cell repeatedly getting the crap beaten out of you every other episode, and you can STILL give people nightmares?
*** "You guys got any milk?"
* "THIS PLACE IS DEATH"
* After spending the first five seasons being scared to death of the black smoke monster, there's something very unnerving about [[spoiler: seeing the island through its eyes as it flies around making that horrible clicking sound]].
* The look on [[spoiler: Un-Locke's face]] when he sees the little boy. He actually looks scared, which given what he is and what he's capable of is spine chilling.
** And for that matter, [[spoiler: Un-Locke]] himself.
* The ''entirety'' of the Season 6 episode "Sundown", especially [[spoiler: Claire's creepy backwards singing of her old {{Leitmotif}}, Catch A Falling Star.]]
** For me it was when [[spoiler: Kate found Claire in the hole. Especially Claire's angry KubrickStare when Kate told her that it wasn't the temple people who took Aaron. It was really her.]] Also, [[spoiler: Claire happily delivering the following line with a smug smile on her face:]] "He's coming Kate! He's coming and they can't stop him!"
*** Oddly enough, I was reminded of Dracula in that scene. In particular, the Man in Black as Dracula and Claire as his faithful devoted servant, Renfield. I saw Dracula performed in a theatre and Renfield was a female character in that, and matched Claire exactly, including the creepy pose when imprisoned and the exact same grin. Creepy...
** Also from "Sundown", [[spoiler: Sayid's very brief conversation with Ben, complete with {{slasher smile}}.]]
*** When ''Ben'' is creeped out, you ''know'' something's terribly, terribly wrong.
** Thirded. Oh, so thirded. However, in my opinion, it was also just ''slightly'' awesome.
** For me, considering what a creepy AxCrazy CompleteMonster the guy is, [[spoiler: it was rather unnerving to see Martin Keamy again. I was also more than thankful when Sayid shot the guy]].
*** You know what is worse? I literally got a sense of {{Uncanny Valley}} from him. You ''are not supposed to'' get Uncanny Valley from a real, living breathing person! I checked his previous appearances. Nada. But in ''Sundown'', something about him just looked...''wrong''.
*** So very seconded. There was something very odd about his eyes-- maybe contacts, maybe just lighting, but it was honestly hard to look at him.
*** Maybe it's the fact that this particularly evil {{Complete Monster}} is actually ''smiling''. You know something's wrong when he's cheerful.
**** But you must admit, he makes great eggs.
** What really did it for me was the scene where [[spoiler: Claire and Sayid, now both completely turned over to the side of evil incarnate, are walking calmly through the carnage left over from the temple attack. With Claire singing a cheerful rendition of 'Catch a Falling Star' in the backround.]]
*** Claire's "baby". That she knows it isn't real somehow makes it worse.
* Going back to the earlier seasons, how about in the pilot episode when the Losties first get the radio working and hear a transmission in French. After a couple seconds of them cheering that the French are coming to rescue them, Shannon translates the transmission which says in part: "The others are dead. It killed them. It killed them all. It is outside." The MoodWhiplash makes an already creepy moment that much more chilling.
** It doesn't help that the counting voice sounds just like a number station (google it, they're creepy), something that scares the pants off me for one.
*** I had never even heard of a number station before I read that, but I thought the counting voice was ''creepy as hell'' just by itself.
*** Fridge Logic says that's probably exactly what the radio broadcast of the numbers was originally set up as.
* In the episode "Dr. Linus", [[spoiler: even though Ilana forgave Ben and he ultimately didn't have to go through with it, watching him being forced to literally dig his own grave was nothing short of horrific. That's gotta be one of the worst ways to die]].
* Nikki and Paolo being buried alive, especially when Nikki opens her eyes just in time to have a face full of dirt thrown in it. [[AlasPoorScrappy Even Scrappies don't deserve that.]]
* Huh, you know this island really isn't that bad. Beautiful landscape, good weather, no wild anim-[[EverythingsWorseWithBears OH DEAR GOD POLAR BEARS!]]
* So, as of Everyone Loves Hugo, we know what the whispers in the jungle are... knowing doesn't really make it less scary. In fact, it kind of [[ItGotWorse makes it worse]] when you consider [[FridgeHorror how many distinct voices you can pick out of the whispers.]]
* Well, The Candidate provides us with the possible horrors of [[spoiler:submarines.]]
* "What They Died For", the penultimate episode, gives us the incredibly creepy confrontation between the Un!Locke and [[spoiler: Charles Widmore]]. There are no explicit scares, just an all-encompassing sense of dread that starts as soon as "Locke" arrives, still looking and acting as he has in seasons past, but also...[[UncannyValley not]].
* The ending of ''The End'' gives us a pretty bad bit of FridgeHorror. [[spoiler: So we know Micheal's spirit was trapped on the Island, but there was a chance that maybe it was the power of the Man in Black or the same thing that acted as the source of his power that was keeping Micheal and the other ghosts there. But given that Micheal was absent entirely from the flash-sideway universe, which we find out is like purgatory, this means nothing that happened on the island in ''The End'' changed his fate, or that of the other souls trapped in the jungle. Poor Micheal is still trapped on the island, long after his friends have moved on to the afterlife.]]
** [[spoiler: And don't think you've got it made even if you make it to the afterlife. You might wind up in a ''vegetative state'' there, and thus always be a step away from Heaven, because ''you can physically do nothing to move on or atone for your sins.'' AndIMustScream indeed.]]
*** There is some hope however, [[spoiler: the Ghosts Hugo talked to were the ones who couldn't move on to pugatory yet, because they couldn't let go. And since Hugo and Ben were going to bring Walt back to the island it's probable that Hugo helped him come to terms with what happened and he moved on his own. There are still in fact several other Losties in pugatory who didn't make it to the Church, but some of them are awakened and are most likely going to go meet up with the rest of them when they're ready.

Something about the way the show threw a character I was starting to like (my Jacket shipping is showing) away as if he were just a figment of Jack's imagination creeped me out.]]
*** At Lostpedia they make the case that [[spoiler: David must be real according to their interpretation of Christian's speech. He's just a surrogate. Now ''who'' he was in life if they are right in this interpretation, who his parents really were, and what it takes for him to move on, are other questions entirely]].
**** I like to look at him as some sort of junior emissary, not unlike Clarance in ItsAWonderfulLife. But yes, it was pretty spooky when Locke said that to Jack, since it's at that moment when what's going on in the "alternate timeline" (HA) really starts to become clear.
* Claire's nightmare from Season 1, especially Locke's eyes.
** ... ''Thanks.'' I was about to just go to bed and was reading this for S&G.. and now I have those eyes in my head. Didn't sleep right the first time I saw them. And it's even worse IN MY HEAD.
* The scene in which it's confirmed that Ethan Rom wasn't actually one of the plane crash survivors. Going straight from discovering his name wasn't on the manifest and ''realizing you have no idea who or what he really is'' to seeing him ''standing over the alone, defenseless Claire'' gave me nightmares for weeks.
** For this trooper that oh so very creepy smile he gave Claire and Charlie in that scene was enough to send chills of terror up and down my spine whenever I see William Mapother, regardless of the context.
** The accompanying slide trombone sound effect makes it even more eerie.
* The season 2 episode when Sayid is interrogating "Henry Gale": "My name is Sayid Jarrah, and I am a torturer." The creepy music and Naveen Andrew's emotionless delivery makes it absolutely chilling, coupled with sudden look of OhCrap on [[spoiler: Ben's]] face as he realizes Sayid isn't bluffing...
** FridgeLogic adds another layer. Ben knows exactly who Sayid is, and should have known what he's capable of. The fact Ben is scared means Ben made a conscious decision about what risk Sayid posed to him at this point, and has just realized he made the wrong call.
** On a "List of Things You Don't Want to Hear When You're Tied Up and Locked in a Room Alone With Another Person," this ranks pretty high...
* "I don't know what is more disquieting: the fact that the rest of the statue is missing, or that it has four toes."
* The episode where Michael, Jin, and Sawyer are [[spoiler: told by the Tailies that 23 people survived in their section, get taken to their hideout, and find only five]]:
--> Michael: I though you said there were 23 of you.
--> Libby:...there were.
* "Did you just call that...thing?!"
* After Michael [[spoiler: shot Ana Lucia and Libby]], ending an episode on that note, it was so shocking to the core that my family and I sat in silence for almost half an hour. And this from a group of people who discussed LOST events even during the commercial breaks.
* No one has mentioned Room 23 yet?

** On that note, have you ever listened to the music of Room 23 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KpOxjUtmew played backwards?]]
-->[[spoiler: "Only fools are enslaved by time and space."]]

** The accompanying slide trombone sound effect makes it even more eerie.
* The season 2 episode when Sayid is interrogating "Henry Gale": "My name is Sayid Jarrah, and I am a torturer." The creepy music and Naveen Andrew's emotionless delivery makes it absolutely chilling, coupled with sudden look of OhCrap on [[spoiler: Ben's]] face as he realizes Sayid isn't bluffing...
** FridgeLogic adds another layer. Ben knows exactly who Sayid is, and should have known what he's capable of. The fact Ben is scared means Ben made a conscious decision about what risk Sayid posed to him at this point, and has just realized he made the wrong call.
** On a "List of Things You Don't Want to Hear When You're Tied Up and Locked in a Room Alone With Another Person," this ranks pretty high...
* "I don't know what is more disquieting: the fact that the rest of the statue is missing, or that it has four toes."
* The episode where Michael, Jin, and Sawyer are [[spoiler: told by the Tailies that 23 people survived in their section, get taken to their hideout, and find only five]]:
--> Michael: I though you said there were 23 of you.
--> Libby:...there were.
* "Did you just call that...thing?!"
* After Michael [[spoiler: shot Ana Lucia and Libby]], ending an episode on that note, it was so shocking to the core that my family and I sat in silence for almost half an hour. And this from a group of people who discussed LOST events even during the commercial breaks.
* No one has mentioned Room 23 yet? Wow, I felt creeped out (and it so happens I don't get creeped easily) but watching Karl being strapped to a chair, drugged, and forced to watch a bizarre video with loud music blaring in his ears and weird clips of seemingly random images are seen flashing on the screen (one of the images consists of several, creepy doll faces) YMMV, but this scared me for a good while, and combined with the fact that Karl had been in that room for days doesn't help.
** On that note, have you ever listened to the music of Room 23 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KpOxjUtmew played backwards?]]
-->[[spoiler: "Only fools are enslaved by time and space."]]
* The crash of Oceanic 815 flight is shown in only bits and pieces but if you watch it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PteH2A1Pw0 edited together]] like it was the opening of the show you can see how violent and terrifing the crash actually was.
