'Hush' is one of s4's best episodes. The first time I saw it I thought it was really scary. One of my favourite parts in the episode is teh fight scene when Buffy swings on the rope.
 
I really liked this episode. It was funny and scary as hell. The Gentlemen are definately the scariest monsters in the Buffyverse, IMO. I really jumped out of my skin when one went past the window at Giles' house...lol...And the ending was good as well, the way it followed straight on into the next episode.
 
I loved that episode.. The gentlemen scared the crp outta me though!! lol. just their freaky smiles and the way they glide above the floor. but i thought it was pretty funny when the gang couldn't talk and buffy was trying to explain that she could try and kill the gentlemen with a stake, and she did that hand movement.. (you know the one im talking about!!) lol. and they thought she meant something else... 🙂
 
The Gentlemen most certainly were the most terrifying things ever shown in both Buffy and Angel IMO. It was a fantastic episode, probably one of my top 10 or even 5.

Hush is amazing episode! It's on my top10 favorite BtVS episodes list... 🙂 It's just so brilliant to make an episode without a dialogue. Joss is a genius! 😀 I've watched this eppy like thousand times and I never get tired of it. 🙂

Can anyone give me a hell yeah if the gentleman gave them nightmares! I have to say out of all of the creatures in the Whedonverse, the gentleman were the only ones to make my skin crawl. Whats worse than a palefaced stranger who smiles at you constantly, but refuses to say anything! :winking11
 
This was an excellent eppy and should have won the emmy.

What are you people voting for.

I loved the bit when Giles is explaining what the demons are and his drawings are funny, which we later get to see again when he is teaching Cho-Ahn about vampires. Incidentally the music in the background is from a british show called Jonathan Creek whch Anthong Stuart Head starred in for a couple of episodes.

I also like the part where Buffy and Riley draw weapons on each other, very cool. I read somewhere that Joss's fav weapon for Buffy is the crossbow and I have to admit she does look better with a crossbow than a sword.

Buffy's scream was a bit long (if that was me I would have passed out) but it was cool though.

A for the Gentlemen, damn there were soooo creepy. I hate the bit when Olivia is looking out the window and hey pass by woah, my stomach rolls over even when I think about it.

I think that this episode, Helpless and Converssations With Dead People were scary.

What other Buffy episodes have scared you?
 
The one part in season 6 episode Afterlife when the demon they created was coming up the stairs after buffy and its face was right in the camera, geeze that wasn't the best looking face of a demon there could be. I thought it was creepy at first.
 
Never been really creeped out like in a horror way, but there have been some of the scarier episodes:

Helpless : Buffy running from the vampire up the stairs is really good, a lot of tenseness

Bargaining : Kept me wondering if Buffy was gonna be the same, kinda creepy her being brought back and all

And the episode where Warren kills Katrina, forget the name, Season 6, but that was a really great eppy!

🙂 You guys have good choices
 
I also thought the one with the Queller was creepy.

That thing was sooo scary and when it drops that goo on your face ewww

Can't remember the name of the eppy
 
Hush was the best episode ever of Season 4. It was awsome how they couldn't talk or nething. It was really different from all the noice that usually goes on. And the Gentlemen were really creepy. Epescially when Giles' girlfriend is looking at the window and one of them passes by suddenly. Really cool! And I liked it how Riley and Buffy caught each other fighting.
 
I don't think Buffy is that scary.. But the Gentlemen are some of the scariest evils on the show..

This is a great episode, really funny and at the same time full of emotions and all that.
The best thing is that Tara is in it, the first episode with her, and she is so shy..! And it's cute how obvious it is that she likes Willow immediatly, oh..

(This was also before I started hating Riley, so he didn't ruin it at all..)
 
Liked the episode, the gentlemen was better then your average run off the mill demons, but not that scary. Having inherited Anya's bunnyphobia i found Selfless a heck lot scarier =)
 
Oh man, do I love Hush or what. I didn't find it scary or anything like that, but it was kind of unnerving. The idea of not being able to speak just freaks me out, seeing as how we all depend so much on talking.

Best part, in my opinion, is the introduction of Tara. ::Looks at avatar:: Yep. That's the best part.

Close second is Anya's lovely gesture, after Xander "saves" her from Spike.
 
'Hush' is, IMHO, a masterpiece; a modern day fairy tale with some of the scariest villians ever seen and proof that even TV shows can achieve movie-level grandeur. This is one of the two scariest episodes of the show ever (the second being 'Conversations With Dead People') and moves many of the seasonal plot lines along; Buffy and Riley have their first kiss, Anya realizes that Xander does love her and introduces the lovely Amber Benson as Tara (who doesn't see, in retrospect, that the hand-holding scene has a major sexual undertone). This might be the best Buffy episode ever.

Hehe, I thought they'd kiss that second. Well almost, I really thought they would realize the crush at once since it was so obvious to me (maybe they did).

One fan fic I read that went behind the scenes of Willow and Tara's relationship had a definate spark between them in that moment, but Willow was still operating on hetero mode at that point. But you can see by Tara's face at the end of the episode that she already has a huge crush on Willow.
 
Intro and The Gentlemen

Just found the board here, and joined up - maybe this isn't quite the place to say Hi, but I was intrigued to read what all you guys thought of HUSH, seeing as you know what you're talking about and I don't, although I remember being totally creeped out when I first saw the episode.

My dear friend Doug Jones played the Lead Gentleman, a role of which he is inordinately fond, so I thought I'd do some homework - and here I am! S'cuse the newbie ...

i think that "hush" was one of joss' greatest masterpieces and an emmy is onnly one of the awards he should have won. as far as i go - i don't afraid, it's really hard for anything movie-ish to scare me, i can yawn through movies that are supposed to be shitless scary. but hush and the gentlemen didn't only freak me out, but i hd an actual nightmare after the first time i saw the episode - my brother told me that i was talking in my sleep lol, i think i dreamt i was the princess who lost her voice.
this episode was amazing beyond words, the gentlemen - the myth, the haunting presence... perfect. and the worst thing about hush is just how real it is. when there's a scary out there, you know it, you know when it comes, youknow what it is. but how do you react if one morning you wake up and someone has taken your voice away?
that's just it - you can never know when they could strike, you just wake up one morning and that's that. even thoughthey're fictional supposedly, you can't help but believe they could get to you as well. in the back of our minds i think every single one of us thought for a split second - it feels so real, it could happento me too.
 
Damn, Hush was a good episode!

It was probably the single most creepy episode of the entire series and the Gentlemen were easily the most frightening demons. My nephew is something of a Buffy and Angel fan due to spending way too much time with his uncle 😉 and likes to think of himself as pretty brave despite only being 7 but he wouldn't sit through all of this episode. Totally freaked him out!
