Yes, it will be in neutral. I was once present when someone started a tow
with the car in gear - the engine made quite a racquet!
As for scary, not much one can do sometimes... I towed my BT-7 from
California to Detroit years ago on a tow dolly. Last year towed the Rx-7
from Detroit to Las Vegas on an open trailer. No problem on either trip.
