> > stuff in tma that isnt outright nightmare-inducingly scary but is just odd enough to legitimately unsettle me

> > -laura popham absolutely definitely getting her sister killed in 15 and either not knowing or straight up lying about it in her statement

> > -the fact that harriet lee exploded into worms but timothy hodge became a flesh hive and we just….never figure out what the difference between them was that facilitated that

> > -the fact that the corruption infected nicole baxter in 36 THROUGH her gloves and she’s implied to have ended up getting her hand amputated literally this has not left my head since i realized it

> > -the vase that stole andre ramao’s husband in 38 i know we joke about it but it was seriously so frightening when jon started talking about his fucking halfway blank marriage license i wanted to cry

> > -THE BURIED AVATAR IN 50 THAT LIKE TRAPPED SOMEONE IN A CONCRETE WALL SO JUST THE TIPS OF HIS FINGERS WERE STICKING OUT AUGUGHHHH?????

> > -the one very specific part of 55 where jordan’s trying to get rid of the wasp nest and he talks about it screaming and like…reaching out to get him

> > -the bit in 59 where ronald sinclair is describing raymond fielding like sitting in a chair and he stands up and a bunch of fucking live spiders fall out of the inside of his jacket i would genuinely just die on the spot if i saw that

> > -the whole scene in 69 of that guy cracking annabelle’s head on the windowsill and her skull caving in to reveal just. fucking cobwebs where her brain should be

> > -literally all of 74 but especially the way that michael didn’t even seem to be doing anything. he wasn’t the one making lydia stay up he was just there to make fun of her while she destroyed herself

> > -the fact that the not-mom in 77 was nicer than the girl’s real mom. jesus

> > -jan kilbride being implied to still be alive in the buried after gertrude threw him in there to stop its ritual (what the fuck. what the fuck. no words can describe how much this unnerves me)

> > -106 just as an episode was like…..one of the more frightening ones to me (post-statement aside bc that just makes me murderous) but i think it mostly has to do with lydia nicholas’ voice acting. she has a perfect voice for jan kilbride’s breakdown narration

> > -that lady in 114 that went into the basement of hill top road and got spat out in a parallel universe where nobody knew her

> > -again. the end of 127 where jonathan fanshawe cuts open albrecht von closen and he’s just fucking full of eyeballs is something we do NOT talk about enough

> > -not even the actual content of 144 but just the way the statement starts like normal just some guy talking and just slowly devolves into a frantic deranged apocalypse-predicting rant is so FUCKING creepy. something about him not even needing his headphones to hear the numbers station by the end does NOT sit right with me

> > -i talked about this a few days ago but the reveal of basira trying so hard to save callum brodie and then him just ending up as an avatar anyway makes me want to literally attack people

> also YES OP YES I’m going to add to this sorry

> it’s a little different than OP’s post but I have so many vivid memories of specifically early TMA episodes that were so unsettling even when they weren’t supposed to be?? or like they stuck with me even though they weren’t the Worst.

> - Episode 1 literally has stuck with me since I heard it. the imagery of this Thing in the dark, swinging, waiting for people… that fucked me up for Weeks

> - the first appearance of the thing that Isn’t! People and its description when it’s hanging off the building and then entering through the window? what the fuck? and then it fucking LOOKS at the narrator like it KNOWS afterwards??

> - the bag the garbage guy picks up in 5 and it’s. full of teeth. i have no comment i just think about this a lot

> - the episode in the subway with the buried where the narrator runs into a man who is like completely warped and sunk into the seat in this collapsing subway car…

> - LOST JOHN’S CAVE. I have NEVER been afraid of caves or small spaces or the dark but holy shit this episode fucking killed me idek why. the idea of the narrator like, going forwards underwater and hitting the surface at the Wrong Time? and her sister just not being there??? NO

> - something about the episode where the guy like, has a Thing at his door every night and it tried to get in and he like, holds the handle to stop it, is just really unsettling

> - I also think about the episode with the guy whose father in law keeps talking about the mold in his bathroom a lot and then by the end the mold like consumes him. just. hi. what the hell.
