Your SCARIEST Dark Tower experience *spoiler alert*

[Letti]

I am not sure I found anything scary in the whole TDT, not in the sense Pet Sematary or some parts of It are scary.

Exactly. I feel the same way. I was worried distressed surprised aching sad shocked but never scared.

I would agree that DT isn't really "scary". But there were certainly some parts that were creepier than others and Dutch Hill definitely tops that list.

I was too excited at that moment to feel whether it was creepy. So many powers were at work, with Eddie drawing that door and Detta holding the demon - and then Jake's endless journey across the city that had so exhausted me emotionally that I could only pray for them to do everything right, and to at last get reunited, and the anticipation of this reunion was so immense that it kinda supplanted all sensitivity to creepiness.

Another thing was the way Roland described being inside Detta Walkers mind.

This, yes...

thats what i like about this series, it made you feel all the possible feeling you can feel all at once and losing control of my emotions kinda freaks me out a bit that why i have to stop and reflect once in a while, but generally it was a cool experience!...

The idea of todash space was quite scary for me. The idea of travelling to another world in one's sleep is thrilling, but the idea of getting lost in between worlds along the way...

Oh, and Mordred changing into a spider. The whole scene with Mordred and Mia was freaky. A giant spider with a child's head on top? Just wrong. And then there was the 'french kiss' bit with Walter later.... yikes...

I thought that highly descriptive, hard-core sex scene between Aaron Deepneau and Calvin Tower to be the most frightening in the whole series.

I seriously don't remember that!
it must be so scary that I blacked it out

That is what I have been thinking. Maybe I can define the scene that Mordred ate Flagg's-my dear Flagg's- eye, disturbing, because knowing that Flagg has gone out of the story was very sad.

Any part where any character was near death. A non DT scary experience was after finishing both salem's lot and IT I heard knocking at my window both times.

Roland and Jake going under the mountain. Complete darkness knowing you could be surrounded at any moment. *shiver*

[krisagon]

I got chills during Callahan's story of his years on the run from the low men....
The LOST PET posters just seemed so completely plausible as a way to secretly put a hit on someone.

Also the fake corporate setup when they catch Callahan got me too.

That segment of Calla really cemented Sombra/NCP/Crimson Kings Agents as not just regular bad guys, but ultra crafty and inventive evil baddies for me.

I wanted Roland to kill all of them so bad!!!!

Also, when Mrs Tassenbaum moves the magnet from her husband's company that says "we are POSITRONICS"

Right. I said earlier in this thread that I didn't find anything really scary about TDT; but I think I have to take it back. That was scary.

[LovesSweetExile]

I wouldn't say anything scared me, but what did give me actual nightmares (not joking) was a few moments in the first book, first of all, the entire book, in my opinion, was the most atmospheric surreal, despairing and down right creepy mind fuck out of the entire series.

First off, the desert, the devil grass, and Tull, truly a classic town that time forgot, it reminds me of the sort of community you would find in Resident Evil 4.

The basement, with the muttie spiders, they spiders made me itch in a few places.

The entire trip under the mountain, the slow mutants, and the thought of the abyss that jake fell into.
