"Hush" Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Yo Bigs Here
The episode "Hush" was pretty crazy because they used silence to show a different sense of fear. The fear of not being able to scream or talk when being attacked is pretty scary. Basically what happens is that all the people in Sunnydale lose their voices.

The episode starts with the main character having a very intimate daydream about some guy in her class when she forsees a creepy dream of a girl singing a creepy song.(very familiar to nightmare on elm street creep out song)

Beginning of the episode starts with Buffy having trouble talking to a guy and Willow having trouble talking to the girls in her witch group.
The episode starts out with everyone goin about their daily lives until one night some very strange people show up. The whole time these guys are perfectly silent. The only thing that really happens is that a bunch of air is taken from everybodys mouths.

In the morning buffy and her friend willow realize that their voices are gone. Everyone seems really depressed because they can't speak. Mostly everyone is trying to figure out whats going on.

The suspicions kick in when a news report from a nearby town shows that the missing voices seem to be just in Sunnydale. Giles the professor that helps buffy does some research on the occurences.

The next night a random guy wakes up to realize someone is at his doorway. He opens the door where he is attacked by one of the strange beings and is held down by two guys wrapped in straight jackets and faces covered in bandages.

That morning buffy and her friends are given a slide show on the strange occurences where Giles shows them that he knows what they are. Buffy and Willow have whiteboards so they can communicate. Giles also explains that only the princesses scream can stop the Gentlemen.

Unfortunately no one can talk.

Giles figures out that they are fairytale creatures called the Gentlemen. Giles explains that they take hearts until they have 7. He also tells them that Buffy has to patrol that night for everybody.

That night the Gentlemen come back for more hearts and some find Buffy where she runs to escape. That one guy Buffy likes gets attacked by the Gentlemen too. Meanwhile Willow wakes up to hear a knocking down the hall. The strange girl from Willow's witch group goes to answer a door and it is one of the Gentlemen holding a heart.

Buffy fights some of em off where she meets up with her boyfriend or whatever and they kiss cause they found each other safe. Willow helps that on chick get away as they run away from the Gentlemen they find a room to hide in.

Buffy is getting closer to trapping herself as she moves up a corridor to a clock tower. The Gentlemen all start to close in on Buffy and her dude. Willow and her friend manage to avoid the gentlemen by blocking the door with their witchcraft.

So near the end Buffy finds herself outnumbered and she is about to get killed but where her boyfriend destroys a box and Buffy is able to scream so the gentlemen's heads explode. The END
