Fear Itself


Buffy reluctantly joins Willow, Oz and Xander at a fraternity Halloween party. She's still pining over Parker and the Scooby Gang feels she ought to have some fun. Instead they all end up in terrifying situations themselves when the reality inside the fraternity house they go to is being controlled by a fear demon, accidentally called forth by a symbol drawn in the attic. The layout of the house constantly changes, exits are no longer present and artificial Halloween items such as spiders and heads come to life. This is an episode well worth watching...confronting fear is always a great subject to explore in Buffy and we also note that Willow believes that Buffy thinks she's not as competent in magic as she thinks she is. The scene where Anya turns up as something that frightens her (a bunny!) to accompany Xander to the party is very funny. The gang thwart the demon who appears in person and is only small enough for Buffy to squash underfoot. Very enjoyable episode and I found it quite scary!
