But why was that so scary for the rat?

Oh. Pfft.....

They were messing with the guy by pretending that the Sopranos ended other than it really did with a black screen.

It was scary for the rat because he was afraid that he was the only one to miss it and because they don't play the Sopranos often enough for him to get to see the "real" end anytime soon.
