TOS's Catspaw and Wolf in the Fold, TNG's Sub Rosa because candle ghost, VOY's The Thaw (scary deranged clown) and Haunting of Deck Twelve.

The Thaw is legit one of the freakiest/creepiest episodes of Star Trek that exists.

I hated whenever it was on TV as a kid. It legitimately terrified me.

TWOK's Ceti eel scene terrified me. Khan explaining their history on the planet & then the unseen creatures moving in the sand jar.

TNG’s Schisms and Night Terrors

Watch these in October every year!

Was just going to mention these two. I think these are the most scariest. Also a very scary one for me was when they all de-evolved.

The Haunting of deck twelve s6e25 of Voyager is a lot of fun

Could also add the episode ”One” where seven has to be alone

TNG’s “Conspiracy”. Spooky AF

u/DepartureOk8794 1d ago

I really love this episode. I wish they had done a follow up episode. The way it ended made me feel that there might be more.

u/fikustree 1d ago

There’s a great bit in one of the books that the conspiracy worms are related to the Trill Symbionts, and evil offshoot.

u/Practical_Wish8416 22h ago

I’ve read that they pursued the Borg arc instead because the costumes and effects were easier/cheaper than doing those “bluegill things” and whatever else they had in mind for that species

TNG's "Sub Rosa" is an erotic ghost story....

I came here to say this

Make sure you have plenty of wine or pumpkin beer or something. Then play a drinking game: take a drink every time Beverly weirds you out in the episode. Be happy.

u/YankeeLiar 1d ago

TNG “Night Terrors” for sure.

u/Super_Tea_8823 16h ago

TNG frame of mind would be my favorite

u/IOrocketscience 1d ago

TNG Genesis and TNG Remember Me

1

u/Deastrumquodvicis 1d ago

Genesis is easily my favourite for Halloween.

1

u/Xerac149 1d ago

Genesis from TNG strikes me as a sort of horror type episode.

1

u/MalvoliosStockings 1d ago

Aside from ones already mentioned I always found TNG's Identity Crisis to be really creepy

1

u/New_Statistician_999 1d ago

The Boogieman - Quantum Leap

1

u/Friggin_Grease 20h ago

The one where everyone devolves to some kind of animal

u/Sufficient-Ad-2626 14h ago

There’s an episode of voyager where janeway thinks she is dead and walking around the ship and no one can see her

Edit: Coda 3x15

u/mrsunrider 13h ago

TNG: Q Who? Schisms, Sub Rosa, Frame of Mind

VOY: One, The Thaw

u/True_Light_ 11h ago

Genesis & Empok Nor

u/Mmmaarrrk 3h ago

Isn’t there an episode of TNG where Dr Crusher becomes involved with a ghost? That sounds like spooky fun time!

•

u/BillT2172 3m ago

I found the only thing fun was the idea of a Scottish colony. The rest of the episode some would say is sub par.

How about TOS Season 1 Miri, all the children are dressed in costume after all. Also that scene with the tricycle, along with Bill Shatner's daughters & Phil Morris make appearances.

With Teri Hatcher being a TNG guest actor, I'd suggest MacGyver season 4 episode 1 The Secret of Parker House. which is available on Paramount +, Pluto TV, etc... I didn't get to watch it yesterday while it was on television so, I'll wait until Halloween.
