16:09 _"Anything with an expressionless face that gives nothing away is enough to spook me out"_ - Billy must have dreaded every time Ryan Sinclair turned up in a scene ;)
Absolute belter of a jump scare during The Invasion. Throughout the whole story, Vaughn has been calling on Packer through the video monitor in his office. In Episode 7, the Cybermen finally take control of the invasion while the Doctor tries talking Vaughn onto UNIT’s side. Vaughn immediately goes for the video phone, “Packer?! Packer, where are you?!” only to be greeted by a Cyberman answering the call with that horrific sting accompanying it.
Played 'Scherzo' in the car on the way back from Aberystwyth the other month and one of the jumpscares really got my brothers girlfriend who was driving the car. They were not happy lol.
There are a couple moments in Edge of Destruction which really freaked me out as a kid. The way everyone practically breaks down weeping at the sight of a broken clock, and also Susan’s reaction to the void outside the TARDIS have this strange kind of dream logic to them. Like the characters are reacting to something more than what they’re seeing, that you as the audience can’t fully understand without being there yourself.
I remember when I was about 4 or 5 years old (a few years before I got into Doctor Who) I remember seeing a black and white still in a book of a young woman trapped in a cave, screaming, with a creepy monster lurking behind her in the far background that I found scary but I had no idea where it was from. It wasn’t until a few years after when I found out that it was a still of Victoria in The Ice Warriors
My earliest TV memory is that of Davros' hand moving at the end of Destiny of the Daleks (part 1), I was traumatised by it. Sharaz Jek shat me up big time when I was a kid as well.
Reminds me when I was doing my dissertation on the violence of cinema through the ages. There's a video nasty documentary that talks about how the fact a lot of these films weren't that clear which made your mind fill in the blanks. When things are HD you can see it's produced professionally which can ruin any realism. Surprised you also didn't mention Kane from Dragonfire. That wouldn't be done today. Such a cool shot though
One that stands out to me is the Cyberman under the sheet reveal in The Moonbase. Before watching that episode, I had only been exposed to the Cybermen from New Who, in their slow, clunky forms. Watching this Cyberman quickly throwing off the sheet covering them and leaping to its feet jumped scared the shit out of me.
Madame kovarian will always be the scariest thing in doctor who for me, always thought she might be watching me as a kid, could pop up anywhere. Even though I haven’t been scared of her for the last 8 years or so nothing will ever overtake her.
Yes, yes! I found it was especially scary in the Rebel Flesh episodes, when Amy walks into a big empty room to find her right at the back of the far wall. And then later, when she finds her attention drawn to a nondescript wall and just knows in her gut that she’s about to appear. That really got under my skin, and I remember taking comfort when it was revealed in the plot that her appearances were quite specific to Amy’s situation, it kind of calmed that nagging worry that it could happen to me in real life at any moment.
@@TheNickofTime Indeed that was where I found her the scariest, although it was curse of the black spot that instilled the fear, maybe so much that I forgot she was in day of the moon, so you can imagine the scare I got when I thought I was watching a “safe” series 6 episode and then she shows up anyway. Same with closing time because I thought she was gone and then she shows up in the dark, scary stuff.
The ood going through the vents in Impossible Planet/Satan Pit. The wolf in Tooth and Claw and the Autons in Spearhead shat me up for weeks. It’s those memories that make me love Doctor Who. Should always be scary.
Scary and creepy in equal measure, was the black Cyber Scout snatching the two sewer workers, Bill and David - both later seen undergoing conversion into Cybermen.
I started watching Dr Who as a child at the start of the final season of the 5th Doctor and it never phased me until Paradise Towers and the killer cleaners dragging the woman down the waste disposal unit and the piles of body in the Cleaners "waste bin". That freaked me out. Mags is a good shout but for me in that story I found Bellboy suicide by his own creations disturbing, the music build up, and how you don't actually see the death as the broken robot clowns move around him raising their hands towards him, the camera slowly moves to focus on the Chef Clown but it's to your imagination, you know full well what was happening. I always felt sorry for Bellboy.
For me, the one thing that really fucked me up as a kid was the weird buzzing sound the autons made in Spearhead from Space. That sound used to terrify me, I can't explain why
This is definitely the sort of video Ive been anticipating no doubt. I always ask my friends what was their scariest moments they had in the show and the majority of answers i got was Empty Child. Today I still have a friend of mine who is still freaked out by the Empty Child and the bit with Richard Wilson turning into a Gas mask it still scares her. As For me i had plenty of scary moments when I was growing up and heres my top 5 scary doctor who moments that scared or freaked me out 5. The Dream Crabs from the 2014 xmas special. Those horrible little blighters freaked me out since they are base on the facehuggers. The bit when they fall from the ceiling and jump onto Clara’s face when she hides under the table, gosh that gets me 4. Halpen’s Transformation into an Ood. I remember on first broadcast I switched the channel over when he started peeling his hair off because it really unsettled me and just gross seeing the Ood head beneath the skin. 3. Kane’s Demise in Dragonfire Dragonfire was probably the one of few 7th Doctor stories I didn’t watch for a very long time because no surprise Kane’s death really freaked me out. I get it’s a nod to Raiders of the Lost Ark but geez im surprised they got away with it back in 1987 because looking at it today i thought “this is abit too graphic to show is it?” But anyways I didn’t see Dragonfire til i got it on the season 24 boxset and watched it with a friend of mine 2. slitheen unmasking I’ve mentioned this already in your review but yeah this one I remember really scared me for abit. When they unzip their foreheads and the blue light appeared , really frightened 9 year old me. Like I said before I didn’t watch the first part on broadcast but watched part 2 the following week and had to watch the whole story with my sister when the dvd came out. 1. So my biggest Doctor Who scary moment i had growing up, (which I probably mentioned it in the past) was City of Death Particularly Scaroth. City of Death was a story that absolutely terrified me as a kid for many years because I was terrified of Scaroth and particularly that cliffhanger for part 1. I remember seeing it on a Doctor Who Documentary in 2003 and when they showed that bit it absolutely frightened the life out of 8 year old me. Take matters worst My next door neighbour had this story on vhs and I tried to watch it and couldn’t because i was just so scared to watch it. It wasn’t til during my college years I finally decided to go ahead and purchase City of Death at my local HMV and Sunday’s i go and stay at my nan’s house and watch abit of tv. I thought it would be a good idea to watch City of Death with my Nan so she can comfort me. We watched it and i was fine and today I have no problem watching the story. I like to imagine it’s a abit of similar experience for me, when Matt was terrified of Inferno i guessing. When I look back, I think it’s part of the fun you had a scary moment in the show honestly.
Also in regards to the upcoming Cybermen Story from Big Finish you guys were talking about, it's confirmed it's definitely a full cast audio drama all the way through. Nothing like the Daleks! Genesis of Terror at all.
Doctor Constantine changing into the gas mask zombie, I was five when it was broadcast that scared me, along with the cliffhanger to that episode. Toby out on the surface in The Impossible Planet. That also terrified six yesr old me. Started watching classic who a couple of years later so not too much scared me in classic who as i was a bit older. Although not scary, the soldier in Seeds of Doom getting crushed up and turned into plant life and chucked into the garden was an unsettling idea and perfect for such a bleak story and era.
For me, the cyberman electrocuting the people in Pete's mansion, then the follow-up DW Confidential showing shots of the Cybus-men over creepy music, lastly the scene in Blink where the light bulb starts to go out, even before that episode I found statues creepy!
As a 90s kid, moments that terrified me... The face melting in Dragonfire The reveal of Scaroth's face in City of Death Jamie and Zoe doing that weird 'come here' gesture in the white void with a scream over the top of it in The Mind Robber Tegan seeing a ghost in a barn in The Awakening The Doctor seeing green lights in a tunnel in Vengeance on Varos
I think the Primords in Inferno would have been better if they just looked like the first stage transformed humans. The infected soldier who chases Pertwee still manages to be effectively creepy without having to turn into a wolf man.
Seeing Benton in the parallel world, rolling around on the ground, as he transforms into a Primord - complete with joke shop plastic Dracula fangs - was a misstep in an otherwise classic Pertwee serial.
Great episode! The discussion of how the fear is what most people remember was really cool. I don't think you talked about Blink enough, that's the one everyone of my generation remembered traumatising them, as it did me. Classic series, yeah Resurrection is like a Saw film
37:17 I live in Melbourne. Was the store you went to Billy called Minotaur Entertainment? I know that store. They used to have a huge Doctor Who section that covered FIVE Bookcases in totally. A wide selection of Doctor Who merchandise. In recent years, Doctor Who would be lucky to at least have a couple of shelves on one bookcase alone.
@BillyGarrattJohn Ah okay 😄 I didn't know there was a pop culture store in Chapel Street. I'll check it out next time I'm in the city. And yeah, next time you're in Melbourne, check out Minotaur.
I was absolutely terrified by the Flood from the Waters of Mars, I was only 5 or 6 and their cracked skin on their faces with the black mouth scared me so much I couldn't sleep after watching the episode
Growing up in the 70's/80's and watching Hammer House of Horror, Salem's Lot, Tales of the Unexpected and Saphire and Steel made Doctor Who seem relatively tame in comparison. I wish it did occasionally scare me, but alas, it has just been a source of comfort.
It sounds silly, but for me it was the screaming jungle from The Keys Of Marinus. That whispering screaming sound effect had 7 year old me plugging my ears and hiding under my blanket.
For me, it was Carnival of Monster's, the little Pertwee coming out of the Miniscope, oh and the Sea Devils emerging from the sea, this was back in the 70's when I was very young
There’s a website where you can find where the B&M dr who sets are in Bristol and elsewhere in the country. I used it and managed to find the davros and resurrection set first try in Cribbs
My Scariest moment would be Jean and Phyllis from The Curse of Fenric. I remember watching it on a 1st watch and the scene of them in the water luring that soldier in and absolutely shitting myself when the Haemovores jumped up to drag him under I ran out the room and hid until I could hear the titles roll to run back in and turn it off my telly. Another one would be from Spearhead from Space, Channing’s distorted face staring at the Brigadier from the phone booth made me feel really uneasy as did the Autons!
I don’t know why but the clayish monster in terror of the autons with the sharp teeth and big eyes always made me feel uneasy. Also the man being eaten by the chair I think because in a way it was that thing of a normal household object killing someone. Although not doctor who eps I would say growing up with some of the Sarah Jane adventures villains definitely had strong horror elements oddbod the clown and the nightmare man were really well shot. Also the Spare parts big finish where the daughter has been turned into a cyberman and just wants to show her family her dress is horrific.
Yeah in Bristol the B&M sets are just non existent. I did luck out near Ashton Gate about a fortnight ago on a Resurrection set but other than that they're absolutely nowhere. Also, did you catch the WBTLATS filming that was happening on the harbourside the past few days? I was there yesterday and it was really cool - It was my first time seeing DW filming in person, it was brilliant fun.
I Love Stones of blood, and that campers scene really freaked me out, yes the skeleton had did look like a Halloween decoration out of woolworths at the time, but it was the female actors screaming that made it so convincing, its the same with Ibrahim Namin death in pyramids of mars. Its the screams that sell it. The actors back then really put their all in it and took it seriously. Now its either a Wilhelm scream of stock scream SFX 75 they use. The horror of fang rock is another creepy one. This is my problem with new who, except series 1 as they had a lot of creepiness in series 1. After that they didn't do it as much. Wild blue yonder is creepy but the cgi draws me out of it. The problem is the lighting, there is a miss match of the lighting of live and the cgi which draws me out. I was actually getting creeped out by Hide in series 7B by the ghost and the crooked man, it really builds the tension, esp with the 11th doctor actually admitting he is proper scared, but then it is utterly ruined by the ending and its a love story!!!! To me thats the problem with new who, they are to scared to take risks and proper scare the shit out of you like classic who did, incase of complaints. My 5 year old daughter prefers the classic who scariness to new who. She has told me several times, new who is to silly and babyish!
Honestly, I've never found Doctor Who scary, even as a child, I have no memories of being petrified by anything in the show. I remember even thinking as a kid around the RTD era that it should be scarier than it was.
Hide was kind of creepy. As a kid I found the first Doctor himself scary, I still liked him though. The Daleks 'sick' insides bubbling over in Evil. Also the first sight of the Daleks creature. Another was the Cybermen saying to Jamie,"You will be like us". The hissing voices of the Ice Warriors in the sixties episodes.
Am I mistaken Matt, but did you say Resurrection of the Daleks, and not Revelation when referring to Stengos, sorry to be pedantic, but I was thinking I don't remember that from Resurrection 🤔
The carnage and fright of Doctor Who is essential to the show - and presently lacking. For a kid, Doctor Who is great because every Saturday you know someone is dying horrifcally: someone's getting their face crush, or brain melted or skin ripped off. It satisfies the bloodlust kids all have. Although for myself, it always disturbed me more than scared, such that there's still the odd death that makes me wince.

I have to mention the John Pertwee story Death To The Daleks - the part 3 jump scare cliffhanger - to this day I am scared of red & white floors
My earliest TV memory is that of Davros' hand moving at the end of Destiny of the Daleks (part 1), I was traumatised by it.
Sharaz Jek shat me up big time when I was a kid as well.

Doctor Tom with his foot stuck in the train track stayed with me.

Torchwood Countrycide is up there as one of most distrubing & genuinely scare with an evil that leaves the viewer feeling creeped out
The guy getting electrocuted by the Sycorax’s whip on Christmas Day scared me when I was younger
That's odd. Most people I've talked to tell me that scene was a sexual awakening for them, and I talk to a lot of people.
Nah - It was the farting Raxacorricofalapatorians that did that for me

I was absolutely terrified by the Flood from the Waters of Mars, I was only 5 or 6 and their cracked skin on their faces with the black mouth scared me so much I couldn't sleep after watching the episode
Is 'Doctor Who Live: The Afterparty' included?
I was 7 when 42 aired and I was so scared the Dr would regenerate when he was possessed by the sun

The carnage and fright of Doctor Who is essential to the show - and presently lacking. For a kid, Doctor Who is great because every Saturday you know someone is dying horrifcally: someone's getting their face crush, or brain melted or skin ripped off. It satisfies the bloodlust kids all have. Although for myself, it always disturbed me more than scared, such that there's still the odd death that makes me wince.
oh no Doctor Who is cancelled ..... anyway. Listens to a Big Finish story 🤣
