Well...it was pretty good episode, but I wouldn't call it their scariest.

A pretty tall order considering the show's long list of creepy episodes, from a serial killer who impregnate young women then kills them after giving birth to someone who removes the eyes of his victims and keeps them as souvenirs. And those were just from one season.

"The mandate given to me by [executive producer] Ed Bernero for the finale was just to make it the scariest one we've ever done, which is an interesting assignment," Messer tells TV Guide. "What I realized is, I needed to know what scares me. If I wrote my fear then there will be a truth to it."

The result? Billy Flynn, a serial killer who has killed people during blackouts, to be played by Tim Curry.
