Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 Episode 3 “Context is for Kings” You know it’s going to go bad from the beginning when a handful of characters who, in the Original Series, would have been red-shirts join a handful of returning characters on their mission to investigate this abandoned space station. This episode is your classic abandoned haunted house horror, however this time it’s an abandoned Space Station. Star Trek: Deep Space 9 Season 5 Episode 24 “Empok Nor” It turns out that the children are all infected with a virus that keeps them young. In this episode, the crew of the Enterprise beams down to a planet inhabited by aggressive children. The whole episode has a very Black Mirror/Twilight Zone vibe that I quite like. However, I still think it is a great Halloween watch. This episode may only be on this list because I find small children slightly unsettling. Star Trek: The Original Series Season 1 Episode 11 “Miri” I acknowledge my bias towards Data as he’s my favorite, however, this is my list of the top 10 scariest episodes and thus I will include “Phantasams.” 5. This episode isn’t necessarily scary but it is unsettling and quite wacky. In this episode, Data suddenly begins having nightmares. This episode gets a lot of flack for being the Troi-cake episode (if you know you know), however, it is one of my favorite TNG episodes. Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 7 Episode 6 “Phantasams” Jonathan Frakes’ performance in this episode is impeccable and will make your head spin, leaving you as confused as Riker. It becomes difficult to discern what is real and what is fake. In this episode, we jump between Riker’s role in the play and him locked up. Then Riker gets kidnapped by aliens, locked up, drugged, and experiences a mental breakdown. In this episode, Riker performs a role in a play where he’s a man who’s kept locked up, drugged, and experiencing a mental breakdown. The entire time you’re watching it you’re questioning your reality. Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 6 Episode 21 “Frame Of Mind” She seduces people by appearing beautiful to them so that she can suck the salt out of their bodies to support her. However, this woman appears different to everyone who sees her. In this episode the crew of the Enterprise encounters a beautiful woman when visiting an archeological research site. This episode isn’t as much scary in plot as it is disturbing. Star Trek: The Original Series Season 1 Episode 5 “The Man Trap” In this episode the crew of the Enterprise contract a virus that causes them to de-evolve. The body horror in this episode is absolutely terrifying. This is such an awful episode that I cannot justify putting it any higher on the list. Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 7 Episode 19 “Genesis” However, that story may not be just a story… 9. After the power goes out on the USS Voyager Neelix has to entertain the Borg children, thus he decides to tell them a ghost story about what caused the power to go out. This episode is great to watch if you want to get into the Halloween spirit. This episode isn’t even that scary, however it does involve spooky ghost stories and therefore it is number 10. 10: Star Trek: Voyager Season 6 Episode 25 “The Haunting of Deck 12”
