The one in the movie where it turns inside out.
When did Star Trek scare you?

One of the best scenes of the entire movie.Galaxy Quest
As a kid I found the Borg pretty scary - esp. on VOY & First contact.
Not any specific scene or episode. But the general concept, of this overwhelming, massive entity, that wants to assimilate you for your experience and knowledge, and that, despite the body horror, people who once where assimilated still are attracted to the collective, like flies towards a lamp. And the pure futility of all these civilisations trying to resist, but unable to. That the Borg are not evil, there's no malice, or anger, just this horrific, uncaring drive to assimilate.
Very Lovecraftian.

This is why the Borg are one of my favorite villains on Star Trek.
I dunno scariest particularly, but the TMP Klingons were certainly my favorite, with the thick foreheads and the battle computers (and the no English!) and whatnot.
There’s an unexplained reference to “Project Phoenix”… you figure it out. (Left as a seed should some future producer want to pick it up, I guess.)Why would they save Kirk's body?
Noooooo, Kirk is dead, we have to move on unless it's a prequel or remake/reboot.
Yeah I hated that "Easter egg facility" space station.
Also feels very... disrespectful to the character, having been dug up from the grave and stored in an off-grid blacksite. Tbh the PIC characters should have reacted in some fashion. Imagine we found out Neil Armstrong's body is dug up & stored in darkness in some military biolab on a blacksite in Poland.

I liked the spooky space station full of secrets. I don't mind Kirk's body being preserved if the reason is "because the Nexus." Picard's body was preserved too, and possibly for similar reasons. For all we know, both men signed a document saying their remains could be preserved for scientific study - if there's reason. However, the "bring back Kirk" thing... no.
What I did not like was that the space station was huge, and I seem to remember tons of windows. Where was the crew?
I was just shy of my 13th birthday when Star Trek debuted in 1966. I don't know if I'd say I was scared, but I was definitely creeped out by the Salt Vampire in "The Man Trap," the sudden appearance of the man-child creature in "Miri," the faceless woman in "Charlie X," and the weird sounds coming from Lt. Mira Romaine when she was possessed by the Zetarians in "The Lights of Zetar."
I don't know "The Lights of Zetar," what season, and what's it about? Watching on Blu-ray, and the series basically feels brand new. I only remember a few episodes.

"The Lights of Zetar" is a mediocre third-season episode written by ventriloquist Shari Lewis and her husband Jeremy Tarcher. Frankly, I think her puppet Lamb Chop could have written a better script.

The last scene in Voyarger's, "The Thaw":
Fear whimpers: I'm afraid.
Janeway: I knooooooow.
So cruel.
"The Thaw" is the only episode I always skip when I rewatch. I watch the other creepy episodes, but that episode wigged me out. Clowns, man. *shudder*
One of the few VOY eps I remember. Michael McKean was creepy AF.
