8.  Long Distance Call

Sam:  “A crocatta…it’s some kind of scavenger.  It mimics loved ones, whispers ‘come to me,’ lures you into the dark and swallows your soul.”

While this episode only makes #8 on this list, for me, it is the scariest.  Perhaps because it reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode that used to terrify me, called “Night Call.”  A stubborn, lonely old lady is tormented by repeated, cryptic phone calls she receives from some man.  She finally yells at him to leave her alone and calls the phone company to find out who was calling.  The call is traced to a broken phone line lying over a grave in the cemetery.  It’s the grave of her late fiancée, who died after a car accident she caused years ago.  Once she finds out who it is, she picks up the phone to talk to him.  But he reminds her that she told him to leave her alone, and he always did what she wanted.  Then the line goes dead.  Creepy, creepy, creepy!  

The scene from this episode that gets me the most is the girl on the computer.  Now, who hasn’t had a scary IM experience?  This poor girl is chatting via IM with someone who claims, very believably, to be her dead mother.  That’s spooky enough.  Then the screen goes black, and she sees a figure reflected there, standing right behind her.  She jumps out of the chair and the computer starts fritzing, displaying the phrase “come to me” over and over again.  And how much more spine-chilling is it when Sam figures it all out and tells her, “Lanie…that’s not your mother!”  

I mean come on, this monster even freaked out Dean Winchester!
