Fear (no, not HIM)
-
Quite funny really, I've never ever been scared watching an episode of Knightmare and I'm now 12. I started watching it a few years ago (the repeats on Challenge). I enjoy Knightmare for the great adventures and technology involved, I've never been scared.
-
Scariest bit for me was when that lad in series 8 died in the corridor of blades and that huge red light filled the whole corridor. It looked like a scene from 'Saw'. Also that Axe Haunting from series 3 scared me a bit as well

Hordriss' face starting to appear in the wall over the clue table (Simon's team, season 3), the sinister music and Treguard saying something like "Warning team, a presence is making itself felt and I fear it's not a pleasant one..."

"Huge red light"? I always figured it looked more like someone had thrown paint all over the camera...
I'm surprised they didn't do that (rather crude) effect before. Maybe they only put it in that time to shut Gideon up.

Agreed - Gideon was annoying lol
He kept saying "RUN RUN RUN" in a stupid voice which is so weird it makes me laugh

The thing about Knightmare is that it could frighten you at unexpected moments. A recent example was when I was watching a knightmare repeat on challenge, sitting down, and sitting back in my seat, relaxed, then a spy glass scene appears, suddenly Lord Fear dips his hand into the adventure, I yell out "urgh" (or something like that,) the rest of the scene has me on the edge of my seat.
Looking at it on series guides it must have been:
Series 5, Team 3: Alan, Jim, Nic and Mark from St. Albans
Quest for the Sword - Duration: 47mins.

The floor puzzles were always frightening. The Causeways, even if the path to take was obvious, never fail to raise a shiver, and the Corridor of Blades (even though it's clear what to do) causes a good few hair-rasing moments.
PYCR is also pretty terrifying and, as Thanatos said, with the incidental music, much more so than without. The music, especially in the final strains, means 'the dungeoneer is about to get through or die', and makes you very, very tense!

The Medusa of Series 2 Team 3's fate.
Christopher enters room looking directly at the Medusa. Tregaurd gives his extreme warning to the team and states that they need the shield in order to get past. Cue the advisors thinking "Oh bugger", and before you know it, the Medusa room has evolved into a flash of different colours before turning the entire team into stone....
The next time the Medusa appeared, where Series 2 Team 10 successfully passed it using the shield, was equally gripping, since the advisors had to each take it in turn to guide Julian to the exit.
Unfortunatley the Medusa's third and final appearance in Series 3 Team 4's quest was not quite as good, where Leo et al were just able to hold it off using a GRIP spell before easily getting to the exit - one of the low points of Series 3 perhaps.
