Poll: Scariest Dr. Who Monster(spoilers)

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

What about the Gasmask people and children from Christopher Eckelson's Doctor, they where terrifying, the Dream Lord was creepy too.

That's the Empty Child.

Edit: Now i have to track down that episode where the Doctor locks the mother in a black hole, the daughter in mirrors, and the rest of the family in other places... does anyone know what the name of that episode is? This thread reminded me of that.

It also reminded me that the scariest monster is The Doctor...

Edit 2: Family of Blood... duh its on the list even... Although they never scared me, the end of the episode scared the hell out of me.

That was such a sad episode.

Spoiler: At the end...

When the Doctor's human identity has to sacrifice himself to bring the Doctor back...Brilliant. And one of the series bleakest moments, I think.

The Empty Child made me hate gas masks for the longest time. I still have issues with strictly vertical ones but still....

 

[spartandude]

weeping angels by far

 

[Lilitu]

whereas the Empty child was creepy as fuckington

*listening to a tape with "are you my mummy?" on it, playing over and over again*
"there's one here"
"how do you know"
"the tape stopped ages ago"
*the sound of "are you my mummy?" continues

Unfortunately, Moffat used the exact same thing in the one with the rather silly clockwork robots, and something very similar the one in the library.

Tennant did it too:

In this episode, it was funny.

Me - the weeping angels - T hate statues now thanks

My Mum - The green death (the giant maggots.)

Dr Who made her hate maggots

Spoiler: Give me a kiss :3

The Empty Child or the Angels.
Both gave me goosebumps in their respective episodes!

The Weeping Angel got my vote. While I ain't afraid of the other Dr Who alien/ creature like the Dalek or Cybermen but the concept of the Weeping Angel sound perfect to be a horror movie (you can paranoid easily with the whole "Don't blink").

 

[DementedSheep]

Empty child, creeped the hell out of me.

Followed by the Weeping Angels tho they get used to much or maybe the Vashta Narada (that was the shadows in the library right?). Haven't seen the one with the Midnight Creature.

Classic Series Daleks, Classic Series Cybermen, Sea Devils, that chair that eats you, Classic Series autons, those giant maggots, the original Master etc.

Classic Series monsters> everything else.

Seriously guys there is more to DW than the stuff you've been watching for the last five years...

Yes, but are, say, the Marca scarier than the Angels? No, they aren't. There's more to Doctor Who than the stuff you watched from 63-89.

OT: The Empty Child. That thing was.... Uhhhh. It scare me just thinking about it.

'You're dead Jamie! You're dead!'

Why bring up the Macra? Everything I did mention was and is scarier than the Angels. The Angels are a worthy monster of being affiliated with Doctor Who. But they don't hold a candle to the monsters of the classic series.

Also at least I've watched both old and new series and I'm doubtful that you have aswell, so how can you comment that there's more to the stuff from 63-89?

The empty children creeped me the fuck out. If anybody quotes "Are you my mummy?" at me, I really hate it.

I've been trying to catch up with the Doctor Who series starting from the new series...

But now I'm curious about the Classic show.

At this rate, I'll probably never get finished. I mean it started before I was even born! Do you know how much catching up I'll have to go through? It's exciting yet dauntingly overwhelming.
