I think that the scene at the end of chapter eight was the scariest. In the last few pages of Chapter 8, The Lord of The Flies appears. It turns out Simon was right it was in there imagination and they were the beast. The Lord of the Flies was in Simon and it spoke to him thought a severed pig's head. It says that he does not belong there, that everyone else including Piggy and Ralph will kill him.
"You're not wanted....on this island!...So don't try it on, you poor misguided boy, or else....we shall do you. See? Jack and Roger and Maurice and Robert and Bill and Piggy and Ralph."
-The beast to Simon, Chapter 8: Gift for the Darkness.
“This head is for the beast. It's a gift.”
- Jack Chapter 8: Gift for the Darkness.
I think that this is the scariest scene so far in the book and in this chapter. It took form of a talking pig. Even thought it was in his imagination, that just makes it all the scarier, because it is not like you can just run away from it. It is inside you and so it could come out at you at any time.
“You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you? Close, close, close! I'm the reason why it's no go? Why things are what they are?”
-The voice of the beast within, Lord of the Flies, to Simon, Chapter 8: Gift for the Darkness.
The pigs head was a vessel and a scary one at that, but not much more. It was not an evil beast it was a mother sow before Jack killed it.
That is why I think that this is the scariest part of Chapter 8: Gift for the Darkness.
