Scariest Character

I don't recall being especially scared by anything on DS, but I do know that when

spoiler coming. . .





When A0lexis went to the tomb to visit her dead sister, Angelique, she reached out to touch her  The supposedly dead woman's eyes opened and she latched onto her sister and proceeded to somehow suck the life from her.  She then left the dead Alexis in the coffin and went on to steal her life, pretending to be Alexis and worming her way into the household.

Brrrrrrr!

Quentin when he arrives IS really frightening. But the worst that I remember is

SPOILER...



when Alexis goes to Angelique's casket and Angie opens her eyes. Ewwww!!! Shiver, shiver.

I'm with you that was so creepy when Angelique opens her eyes!

Prolly Angelique. She's just creepy. Her eyes scare me. That's what I'd see behind the door if I had the dream curse....just this BIG picture of Angelique's eyes! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH When she does spells and chants, I have 2 look away.....*shakes* Although, I love Lara Parker's enthusiasm

I'm pretty sure the camera on DS must have been really scary. I can't count the number of times one actor or another looked right at my TV screen with an utterly terrified expression.

I agree with Karen.The Scarisest time/character for me was when Josette stepped out of the portrait at the Old House and began dancing around the house.It was so eerie..especially in Black and White.

I think the scariest character was Gerard, when he first appeared as a silent ghost in present day. That ashen face and that sneer were so creepy. Also, I found James Storm very creepy in Night of DS which I saw long before I ever got to see the whole 1840 story line.

For me, the scariest character was always the werewolf.  Just seeing the pentagram appear on the face of his potential victim filled me with dread.




One of the scariest scenes in the series for me was when Chris transforms into the werewolf in front of his cousin Joe after he pleaded with Joe to leave, knowing what was to come.  Great build-up in that scene, and I was sure Joe was doomed, especially after what had happened to Mr. Welles.  Actually, I never did figure out how Joe managed to escape!

Great topic, Lindsey!

Yup, I'd have to agree with Mike S....
When ever Chris did his thing I'd go cower somewhere by the corner.  I Found it quite distrubing when he made his sister's hair go white!      

POSSIBLE SPOILER....



It's a toss-up between Quentin's ghost in 1969 and the 1995 ghost of Gerard...the sheer malice in their facial expressions still gives me chills.

The scariest for me is Angelique. Why? Because she is really a very pretty woman, but those eyes just go right through me.
Her eyes change from sincere -- to the disapproving look of a school teacher -- to pure evil. AS a man you want to believe her. I mean, that dramatic, breathy voice and that pretty face -- what is a man to do except run as fast as he can for dear life?

Another character that I found pretty scary looking was Evan Hanley during the 1897 storyline. He somehow managed to get ahold of Count Petofi's hand, and it disfigured his whole face. I remember how creepy looking he was, especially with that one huge eyeball popping out of his head.

POSSIBLE SPOILER....

Those two get my vote as well.

Interesting question . . . I don't know that I was ever very frightened by DS (saw it as an adult), but if I had to pick, I suppose I would go with John Yaeger and his alter ego there.  Way over the top, but he was just so creepy.

For one, I'd say the Ghost of Quentin Collins was scary!!! Those staring eyes, motionless face and no speaking was just chilling. And let's not forget his theme song playing. *eek*! I'd also say Barnabas as a vampire in the 1897 series was scary and when he first appeared in 1966 with the B&W.

This isn't a character but the Dream Curse was scary!

I tried to think back to when I was watching DS for
the first time after I read your question. I think
that Barnabas was the scariest character for me.
When Willie opened the coffin and Barnabas' hand
reach out and grabbed his throat! JK sure played that
to the hilt
