What's the scariest moment for you?


For me, for whatever reason, it's when Heather is giving her drippy-nosed monologue and a feint branch cracks in the middle of it, and her eyes just instantly dart towards it to look off into the distance...really bothers me for some reason.

reply

Definitely when they enter the house, and Heather is screaming.

reply

For me it's when they finally accept the fact they have been walking in circles which is impossible. It's that moment they realise whatever is doing this is supernatural.

reply

When they found the stick figures in the trees. No more possible explanations for what was going on. This confirmed it was witchcraft.

reply

Yes! Reminded me of my mushroom trip... that kind of terror.

reply

When they hear the voices of children laughing and playing, then that creepy growling sound, and the pounding on the tent. I always picture the ghosts of the kids Rustin Parr killed and also Eileen Treacle banging on the tent as hard as they can with their little fists.

Also the ending. The moment I saw the house I knew it was all over.

reply

Same! The children outside the tent always freaked me out

reply

Voices of children for sure! That still gives me goosebumps

reply

For me it's when they first start hearing that noise in the distance. They point the camera off into the dark woods which was futile. But that noise was surrounding them and taking that into the account relative to the entire movie...when that begins you know they're *beep*

American Horror Story Season 6: Donald Trump

The part when I wasted money on this P.O.S.

Right there with you.

Too many to name because the movie is #1 on my list, but the very end when Heather turns the corner and sees Mike just standing in the corner, meanwhile she's screaming her head off. He doesn't move. Doesn't react to her at all. Just stands there. The WHY is the scariest part to me...like after being that frazzled and freaked out to run downstairs, he gets knocked down and is then found just standing in the corner, like WTF?!...I can't get over that scene. SO effective and creepy as hell.

The other is when they wake up in the middle of the night after Josh had disappeared and her the screaming and yelling in the distance. So freaky!!

I'm not sure if this answers your question, but Mike standing in the corner was a reference to the serial killer who would make a kid stand in the corner while killing another kid.

So something made Mike stand in the corner while killing Heather. That was my interpretation, anyway.

reply

No, I knew the reason for standing in the corner like from the beginning part, but it's just the idea that she's screaming for him and he just isn't answering her or moving. That was scary.

reply

I always thought he was levitating like 6” in the air.

We never see him get knocked down. She’s the one holding the camera when it gets knocked down.

The fact they never give the viewer a clue and leave it to their imagination is what makes it so damn freaky.

reply

Anyone else get the creeps when they're interviewing Mary Brown?

That is up there. Of course, the ending.

I think the madness they are all descending into once they realize they're lost and their chances of surviving are lessening by the hour is pretty damn disturbing in general.

reply

The children laughing outside the tent, and Heather's reaction to it. Her gasping is terrifying.

reply

All of the above
