The Most Disturbing Episodes Of Evil So Far

Sometimes, television shows take a while to live up to their true potential, whether it be their capacity for delivering scares or delivering laughs. "Evil" gives us one of the show's most terrifying recurring characters right off the bat. The first episode of "Evil," entitled "Genesis 1" (every episode in this season includes a number), sees our dynamic team get together for the first time. The characters are so well-drawn that we can immediately sense the chemistry between them, but what's really scary is the demonic entities we encounter in this episode.

First, there's Leland Townsend (the brilliant Michael Emerson), who is obviously extremely creepy and is set up to be the series' main villain from the first episode. But, while Leland is obviously a disturbed person, he's just a human. The figure that really gives us the heebie-jeebies in this episode is a demon by the name of George (​​portrayed by Marti Matulis, who also plays Leland's devil therapist).

George has dark, leathery skin and bright orange eyes, and the first time we see him on screen remains one of the scariest moments in the whole series. He shows up a number of times throughout Season 1, with Kristen diligently trying to find a way to get rid of him, but nothing is as scary as his first appearance on the show. What's great about "Evil" is that the humans are often as scary as the demons, but George is more terrifying than all the humans combined.
