5 Scariest Vampire Diaries Moments That Could Be Straight From a Horror Movie
When the show was more than just a weird love story.
As we approach the spookiest season of the year, it's time to watch every movie and show that captures the spirit of all things supernatural. That means anything with witches, werewolves, vampires, and even clowns.
Rewatching The Vampire Diaries among everything else will also be a great idea. For those who don't know, the show's writers have done a great job of creating a spooky atmosphere. And here are five times they even crossed the line and made the series look like real horror.
5. Emily Haunting Bonnie's Dreams
The storyline took place in the first season of the show when Bonnie kept dreaming of Emily Bennett. It was this young woman in old-fashioned clothes who kept coming up in Bonnie’s dreams and turning them into nightmares. She was taking her to the darkest places and even possessed her for a while.
4. Elijah’s Return To The World Of Living
Elijah's introduction was one of the scariest in the series. He was stronger, faster, and generally seemed like a more superior version of a vampire. However, in season 2, there was a battle between him and the Salvatore brothers, when Damon staked Elijah. After that, the vampire casually woke up and removed the piece of wood from his heart. That was when shocked fans learned about the Originals.
3. Klaus’ Attempts To Make Hybrids
Klaus' obsession with creating a vampire-werewolf hybrid army at the beginning of season 3 gave us some really unpleasant scenes. Watching him feed the werewolves different types of blood and seeing them get sick was a real torture for the fans. It was really the time when The Vampire Diaries looked more like a slasher movie.
2. Brutal Murder Of Carol Lockwood
Another Klaus scene that made fans close their eyes in horror happened on Christmas Eve when he decided to kill Carol Lockwood, Tyler's mother, because he couldn't find the guy. The mere fact that the brutal murder took place on a holiday was creepy, but what made it worse was the jolly Christmas music playing in the background. Plain terrifying.
1. Sybil Takes Enzo and Damon in the Vault
The scariest scene of the whole show was when the fans thought they were losing Damon and Enzo to the vault. No one on the show knew what was in there, but they definitely knew it was a malicious entity.
So when Damon and Enzo got into the unlocked Vault at the end of season 7, and fans saw Enzo's face being grabbed by a gnarly claw, they just held their breath for a moment.
