Part of the reason "Bones" lasted as long as it did was because of its unique blend of humor and drama. The show ran for 12 seasons, showcasing throughout an incongruous but somehow charming mix of humorous banter between its characters with some pretty horrific crime scenes and depraved serial killers. But while the humor and the horror were two separate elements, in a way the grotesque bodies on "Bones" were sort of part of the comedy.
Some of the fake corpses made for the show were beyond things you might see in an all-out horror film. There were fresh bodies on "Bones" that even went too far for the show's producers, and one particular body had Zack Addy actor Eric Millegan extra grossed out. These are just two examples from a show filled with some of the most absurdly detailed gore yet seen on a network show. There was even a gross bathtub scene that had to be cut from "Bones" due to some unbearable details. As such, there was something absurdly funny about the way in which the "squints" at the Jeffersonian Institute would gather round casually talking while one of these obscene tableaus just sort of lay before them.
Often, though, the show would veer into straight up nightmare territory, abandoning all attempts at comedy for some unadulterated scares. With that in mind, we've taken a quick look at the "Bones" episodes fans consider the scariest of the series' entire run.
