These Are A Few of My Scariest Things (The Handmaid's Tale Edition)

My top 5 scariest things from The Handmaid's Tale:
  1. May the Lord open
  2. Mutilated bodies
  3. Hanging bodies
  4. The Ceremony
  5. Power chandeliers
Special mentions:
  • Aunt Lydia
  • Wing hats (though they actually provide good sun protection)
  • Janine/Ofwarren/Ofdaniel

Yes, post title is reference to this fun song from The Sound of Music. The Handmaid's Tale, however, has very little fun and is quite terrifying and depressing but it is a very well made series. It's based on a novel by Canadian writer Margaret Atwood where fertility rates have plummeted so any fertile women (handmaids) are rounded up and forced to become pregnant (via 'The Ceremony' - I don't want to explain it because it's really horrible, you might want to check wikipedia to find out more but go with caution).
