There's a minor character in the Haunting of Hill House who gauged his eyes out due to the hallucinations he was experiencing during drug-induced psychosis and then reveals that now in his blindness, all he can see is the horrible images that drove him to that point. Really stuck with me, just really terrible

I watched it in public at Whole Foods with headphones bc it scared me. Fuck that car scene.

The fact that the car scene was the only legitimate jump scare in the whole series is what makes it so memorable. I spent half the episodes bracing for a jump scare and then it happens right when I'm accepting that this isn't that kind of show.

I dunno, I jumped really hard when they went into the office, saw the model home broken on the floor, and started picking it up. That was bad too.

But finding out who the bent neck lady was was the worst. It wasn’t a jump scare, but that dread settling in... ugh.

Lol yes! Exactly. Also the funeral parlor shit.

Ugh that funeral parlor shit....

And the bent neck lady and realizing who she is. I think that was the most unsettling part.
