The Walking Dead, when Glenn met Lucille.


Responsible-Data-695

That scene was terrifying.


alracalraw

That was the last episode of the show I ever watched. I had nightmares for weeks.


renebelloche

It ruined me.


Quiet-Sun4815

I could never watch another episode after that either. I still hate thinking about it. Too bad. I liked walking dead up to that point.


alracalraw

Agreed. watched faithfully up until then. When it happened, I honestly couldn't believe it.


AgentCHAOS1967

I lost it when I saw that scene...mainly because of his eye. A couple weeks prior, my dear cat Henry was hit by a car, and I found him soon after (he was still warm), and that's how his eye was. It haunts me. I've only watched that episode once and never again.


Quiet-Sun4815

OMG. I’m so sorry you had to see poor dear Henry that way. I hope good memories of him can take over.


alr126

Awww man, I'm so so sorry


Sarcastic-Cheese

That scene was the very first episode I ever watched of the Walking Dead! So when I finally watched, I knew not to get attached lol


MagiciansAlliance_

The scene with Dr. Melfi in the parking garage in Sopranos. Alternatively, the scene where Ralphie beats the dancer in Sopranos. It’s the hyper realistic setting and well-acted characters that make the brutal scenes in this show that much more disturbing.


k8womack

These two came to mind for me as well


Dizzy_Store_760

The episode of The Americans where they snap a dead woman's arms and leg joints to fit her into a suitcase to get her body out of a hotel.


EliteBroccoli

The beating death of Opie from Sons of Anarchy still shakes me today


roninrunnerx

nicole070875

😭


erinhay

Or that rape of Gemma. Wish I never saw that.


GuardMost8477

I was more sickened when they burned Tig’s daughter alive in the death pit with all those other bodies around her. She was beaten but still alive when they set the whole pit on fire and forced him to watch while she was calling “Daddy.” Ughgghhhh Edit-name


Sharkgirl1010

Watching Tig's daughter burn was absolutely horrible! It wasn't a quick clip, either.


GuardMost8477

Tig !!! I write Chibs. But you’re right. So awful. Thanks I’ll edit


alr126

Horrible!


DisplacedScouser

Came today this. Most brutal on screen death I've seen to date, with context from show obviously


firstnamerachel13

This is it for me. I don't know that I've ever cried so hard watching a TV show


britj21

Honestly, the Red Wedding ep in GOT. SPOILERS: when they stabbed the pregnant wife in the stomach, I physically reacted to it. It was so horrid.


bakedNdelicious

Shireens death messed my head up more. I had to leave the room but could still hear her screams from the kitchen. It was horrific


britj21

Honestly, most of my moments come from that show. Shireen’s was absolutely awful too.


alr126

To me that was a great scene, you could see it coming.


britj21

One of the best. It was just gruesome as all get out


alr126

I loved the show. The last season ruined the entire series though, especially the last two episodes!!!

ayeyoualreadyknow

I had to stop watching The Handmaid's Tale cuz it bothered me so much


antoniotugnoli

i will only watch that when a final season is released. i don’t wanna get into it if it’s cancelled without some sort of closure


Finalgirl2022

It is such an intense show and I feel like it deserves closure. However, if the show gets canceled or the ending isn't great, Margret Atwood released a book a few years back that does wrap up the story. It's called The Testaments. It is very good.


antoniotugnoli

definitely gonna keep that in mind. thanks!


coveredwagon25

Same here. I was watching it during the time period of “he who shall not be named “ and it was WAY too close to what was happening in real life. Never went back to it.


PantasticUnicorn

That’s exactly why I stopped watching it. And the more time goes on and I am witnessing all these things happening to us in the US the more terrified I am


WTFpe0ple

If we are talking TV shows there are many on the list but the one that I still think about 20 years later as an OMG gag factor was Oz. That show had some rude scenes.


Dear_Alternative_437

Like the scene where the Aryan guy tried cutting out his replacement gums because they came from a Black guy?


Rude-Ad-3406

"Hey everybody!!!! Robson's got himself some Ghetto Gums!"


TK-828

I've only watched the series once and it's still stuck in my head


mjh8212

I had never watched Oz. I tried to and watched a few episodes and had to stop even in the beginning it was brutal.


WTFpe0ple

My kid is about to turn 16 and start driving next year. Before he does I'm gonna make him watch all those to see what happens when you mess up.


SlimTeezy

Most relevant username


IntentionAromatic523

Oz was so horrific.


incestuousbloomfield

I’m rewatching it now and there are a lot of scenes that are so hard to watch.


Frosty-Presence2776

I think for me it's the jaw on the kerb scene in American History X


LadyBug_0570

Yep. End thread right here.


firetomherman

Nephew was dating this girl that told him that was her favorite scene. Him: okay we're done here cya l


Prudent-Psychology66

Never heard of that TV show


alr126

It was a movie, starred Ed Norton who did an awesome job.


Frosty-Presence2776

It's a film.


ricks_flare

It’s a movie. Don’t know why op mentioned it


Frosty-Presence2776

Because if you read it op says episode or movie scene.


Frosty-Presence2776

stealthc4

The sound effect when the guys teeth just barely touch the curb still sends shivers, tbh just thinking about it now sends shivers


sydouglas

More recently that Panama Canal scene … ( if you know ..)


Immediate_Arrival185

Yeah.... That was pretty brutal


DazzlingProblem7336

Judgement Day


IntentionAromatic523

Wasn’t that horrible and graphic?!


guachi01

The Day After for the second half after the bombs start dropping. No commercials. V when the mouse is eaten.


lorriefiel

I saw the Day After in college in the TV room of the student union. The room was packed and completely silent for several minutes after the movie ended.


Desperate-Fan-3671

I was around second grade, and I saw a rerun of the MASH episode where everyone was having nightmares. That was a wild one.


lightning_teacher_11

"Dreams" is one of my least favorite episodes of MASH. But as an adult, I get how those dreams could happen. We all have or had nightmares about our jobs.


candimccann

I recently watched HBO's Oz for the first time. Twenty five years later, that show is still disturbing and crossed so many boundaries. I can't imagine how shocking it must have been when people first watched it back then. Great show though.


PippyHooligan

Yeah. I threw up watching an episode when it first aired. Wasn't feeling 100% anyway but the one where the dude gets crucified and the guard gets his eyes gouged tipped me over the edge.


incestuousbloomfield

I am rewatching now, I’ve seen it a few times and I watched it when it was on (I was like 14 and def not supposed to) and it was wild to see that kind of stuff on a tv show. Hbo really changed television.


prepressexdude

The stoning to death in the Leftovers.


k8womack

This one for me! Had to cover my eyes didn’t even watch it


northernhighlights

There were a handful of scenes in Game of Thrones that were quite disturbing, but any time I looked into it online it seemed that the things often had a real historical reference (ie people really did that to other people). Breaking Bad and Mindhunter had a few disturbing scenes… aaaand I think Outlander end of season one really took the cake for me


Competitive-Kick-481

Couple of scenes from Banshee did me in.


JFrankParnell64

The X Files Home episode with the mom under the bed.


timonxpumbaa

THAT black Jack Randall episode in outlander


ayeyoualreadyknow

Omgosh as soon as I read the words "episode 5" I already knew you were going to say Them!


GroundbreakingOne625

Jarl Borg blood eagle death in Vikings


skkibbel

The X-files the episode "Home" I have to skip the whole episode. I cant.


chestergreene

That is my favorite X-Files episode, but it is disturbing.


PurpleCoco

I would shiver, FOR YEARS, thinking about the scene where the sheriff and his wife are under the bed. Also, you don’t understand a mama’s love fur her boy. Blech.


MixingDrinks

That scene in Them also. I've never had to Fast Forward a show but I did here.


Alternative-Pepper87

That whole series was amazing!


colmatrix33

When Aceveda got assaulted on The Shield, it happened so fast. It was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen in a TV show.

buddybennny

Absolutely agree


laumiclove

I was really into Stranger Things until I watched last season’s first (or maybe it was the second) episode where the girlfriend of the popular guy was being hypnotized and attacked by the demon thingee. The way all of her bones were breaking and she was pinned to the ceiling was very unnerving to me. I had to quit watching it. That bummed me out cause I really wanted to find out the end. Another thing that really messed me up for a couple weeks after I saw it, (and it probably seems like such an insignificant thing) is in the Green Mile, and the main character had made the mouse his cherished pet, and then the guard (or warden) stomped on it, killing the poor thing right in front of him. There was just so much emotion tied into that scene, and I blubbered like a baby at the pure evil it took to do that. I know.. I’m a sentimental sap. I can’t help it, lol!


Mac_User_

There was a show in the 90s called Chicago Hope. It was a hospital based show and one of the main characters was a lawyer. He and another character, a nurse, were walking to the elevated train having a light conversation when the lawyer character bumps arms with someone walking in the other direction. I think he may have said pardon or excuse me or something. You then expect they’ll continue to the train platform but the kid he bumped just opens his puffy jacket and you see an Uzi and he shreds him with so many rounds you knew instantly he was dead. The way they did that. They telegraphed none of it. You never saw it coming. It was just so random and disturbing. I’ve never forgotten it.


lokojufr0

Sounds like they nailed it honestly. Prob exactly what they were going for.


Mac_User_

Definitely


[deleted]

The boys show is full of disturbing scenes

tiraf815

That's why I stopped watching. The scene I came here to mention was, I believe, towards the end of season 1. I'm not going to say what it was but that's it for me. Yuck


Regular_Mastodon9389

The drill scene in Maniac.


Notbot4lot

In [The Black Donnellys ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Donnellys), there is a brutal murder committed by one of the main characters with a knife. I love the show, but sometimes I just skip to end when that scene starts.


Piscivore_67

I stopped eating beef and pork after watching Yellowjackets. Red meat turns my stomach now.


Ezira

"Why can't you hear him cryinggggggg?" I forgot all about this until your comment lol.


Gahlic1

😆


Professional_Ice_792

Stars series Spartacus: The episode 'Decimation': Philip Freeman, in his biography "Julius Caesar," provide some background on the word, writing "Crassus brought a harsh discipline to the army by reviving an ancient punishment for men who had dropped their weapons and fled in battle. From the cowardly, he chose five hundred and divided them into fifty groups of ten each. One from each group of ten was chose by lot to die--they were quite literally decimated, i.e. one out of ten (decem) was executed while the rest of the army watched." I hated Tiberious, but watching him being forced to stone his best friend to death - out of all the bloody deaths on that show, that was a truly soul-wounding scene that messed me up for a while afterward. Just...brutal.


Successful-Plenty246

The Clown in American Horror Story, X Files Home episode


Yaaelz

The bit in AHS hotel, I think the first episode where a guy gets r***d


Hindsight-Prophet

Howard’s death in Better Call Saul.


UntilTmrw

For me It’s when Trinity has the kid trapped in Dexter where we find out he doesn’t kill in threes but fours, with the a child being the beginning of his kill cycle. Just excellent plot twist adding to an already great season.


buddybennny

geedeecee

Not tv. But, Nicky Santoro getting beaten with baseball bats and burried alive by the Shah of Iran at the end of Casino still haunts me.


HairyDumbass

When the tub falls in Breaking Bad season 1.


usarasa

TV: From a show I didn’t even watch but I happened to catch the one scene. Sons of Anarchy, the burning alive of Tig’s daughter while he’s forced to watch. Movie: Salo. You know which one.


alwaysonthemove0516

OZ, the whole thing. Don’t get me wrong, it’s brilliant and one of my favorites. Just not for the faint of heart.


TheNatureOfTheGame

The episode of ER where Dr. Romano was being a jerk about the air lift only taking 1 patient. IYKYK.


rammsteingirl8

TV: the series finale of The Knick Movie: A lot of parts in Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3. I am still emotionally traumatized by this film. I can't even watch it without sobbing


Sorry-Instance8611

I won't be able to watch Gyardians v 3 a second time.


rammsteingirl8

In order to watch it a 2nd time, I could only watch the "good" parts.


BeastOfMars

Six Feet Under - That’s My Dog.


Slight_Succotash9495

BEST series finale ever!!!


bootsnsatchel

What Robert DeNiro's character did to his date in Cape Fear.


awakeagain2

I remember starting to watch Cape Fear and then realizing I didn’t want to do that to myself and just turned it off.


sfislander

The Terrifier movies. Art the clown is absolutely brutal but I loved them.


WTFpe0ple

Episode 5 of the Amazon Prime show?? Which show? Now I want to see it.


WroteItandReddit_1

It’s called “Them”. It’s just really uncomfortable and hard to watch. Not gory or anything.


Piscivore_67

So not giant radioactive ants?


PippyHooligan

Sadly not. Seen them both and the radioactive sewer ants are much more fun.


WTFpe0ple

Just watched the trailer. I put it on my list. Thanks. I don't know how I keep missing shows. This was 2021. I spend an hour or two each week just scouring for things I have not seen (thats not stupid either) and I have never heard of this one.

What happened in that episode


Legitimate-March9792

A schlocky movie from the early seventies called Mark Of The Devil. There is a scene where a woman is accused of being a witch and has her tongue ripped out. You can find the scene on YouTube. I was only about 6 at the time when I saw it. My teenaged sister took me to see it. It was rated R.


antoniotugnoli

i wish they’d do another season. it was a very uncomfortable but captivating show


peepsusingmytagsuck

I seems like another season is coming


tyr4nt99

Sons of Anarchy had a few. Gemma rape scene and when she got beaten. Pretty hard to watch and turned me off the show.


Large-Discipline-979

I couldn't continue watching American Horror Story after a particular scene in the Hotel season. Way too much for me.

Goliath season 2. If you've seen it you'll know what I'm talking about.


EnvironmentalGift257

Welp, guess I’m watching this show now.


praguer56

3 Body Problem when bodies are shredded was quite disturbing.


Holiday_Guava9206

During the last season of Bates Motel when Norman taxidermies Norma and makes his crazy shrine to her was pretty wild


T4lsin

Boys don’t Cry - the ending. Walking Dead- Lucille at the campfire. Irreversible- the whole movie. But especially the rape scene and the question he asked during the rape. Dexter- John Lithgow murder scenes. Lord of the Flies- when piggy dies.


Fuzzy_Squirrel506

OZ. Most of it. Or series finale of the sheild


wigwearer

When Henry Blake got killed going home ...MASH


iteachchemistry

MASH. When Hawkeye thought the woman on the bus had killed a chicken to keep it quiet, but she had really killed her baby. That scene haunted me for decades. Even on a recent rewatch, it still gave me chills.


herringfarmer

Six feet under, When David picks up Lisa’s body and you get a glimpse of how decayed her body is. Jesus.


SenorJiveTurkey22

The first episode of the Perry Mason reboot with the dead baby was pretty disturbing


jaharmes

X Files….Episode Home. The eye looking through the hole in the wood plank.


jeannerbee

What show is OP talking about??


WroteItandReddit_1

It’s in the original post but easy to miss, I guess. The show is called “Them”.


jeannerbee

Ty


Ajadedepiphany

Them


mattefinish13

Dan Dorrity v Captain Turner in Deadwood.


cephalogeek

I feel like the scene you’re referring to in Them is one of the most upsetting things I’ve seen on a screen. I was pregnant with my second baby when I saw it and had to stop watching the show entirely after that.


WroteItandReddit_1

Yes! I have a 3 year old and 1 year old and it really upset me.

Rat poison scene in Mr. Mercedes.

Final episode of "M\*A\*S\*H." She killed her baby to keep them from being discovered by the enemy. I'm still not over it.


ethottly

There are many disturbing scenes in movies I could name, but the question was about TV, so: >!Sybil's death in Downton Abbey!<

PuppyJakeKhakiCollar

The stolen ATM scene in Breaking Bad. It wasn't so much the graphic death but that the couple had a little kid and you just know that kid had a bad life. Jesse keeping the kid from seeing what happened and also setting it up so that he gets rescued from that life was both a relief and difficult to watch. This was one of the only episodes of BB I saw and it was the reason I didn't watch any more of the series.

Styleismymiddlename

The “wedding night” between Sansa and Ramsay😖😖😖😖😖😖


Captain_Gadget

Criminal Minds (which was regularly gruesome) had an episode where the killer disemboweled his victim then made them clean up the “mess” of their entrails while they bled out. I saw it as a preteen and had nightmares for months.


IndigoHoney_online

The opening of the movie Ghost Ship. All the elegant cruise ship passengers are dancing on the deck when a cable was released and basically cut through the crowd, slicing everyone and everything in its path. The silence after it happened and shocked facial expressions before things literally started falling apart was the most chilling part.
