What made it all the more unsettling was that the immigrant family just accepted it and allowed themselves to be taken. They didn't fight back or run away, they even told the Nobles that it was for the best, even though they surely KNEW what was going to happen to them. :(
@@rhysdehaan - That's just heartbreaking. I loved Bill as a companion. She asked all the right questions, whether The Doctor liked it or not. But he answered them anyway.
The one that still stands out to me so many years later is when Dave’s suit gets infested with the Vashta Nerada and all we can hear him saying over and over again as he ghosts is: “Hey! Who turned out the lights?”. It’s especially intense at the climax when the Doctor is being closed in on from both sides by two infested suits of Vashta Nerada and all we can hear is their ghosting chants over and over
@@ciennathedreemurr - Even more upsetting: Nobody turned out the lights, Dave; that sudden darkness was because the Vashta Nerada had just devoured your eyeballs. Along with the rest of you.
@@sopcannon Getting old is cool. Beats the alternative. Also, when you're old, you can't read the letters up close, but you can read idiots from a distance. 😜😜
Love this! The scenes in The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances have always terrified me and I've never been able to rewatch them! 😂 But another moment that has always got me is in The Doctor's Wife in series 6 where the entity house shows amy an older version of rory who screams at amy for leaving him alone again, then when she walks through another door she is shown rory's dead body, before she realises rory is still alive and that house is messing with them. And those scenes with bill and the cybermen in World Enough and Time are so eery and horrific! Thanks Ellie and Who Culture! 😊😊
"Don't cremate me!" That freaked me out because I have a genuine phobia of being cremated, for that reason. Being alive despite everything. I know that when I'm dead I won't know any difference, but that's the point of it being a phobia. It does not have to be rational.
Moments for me are 'Are you my mummy?' Pretty much every scene with the Weeping Angels in Blink, the Flood in the Waters Of Mars, and that moment in World Enough and time 'Pain, pain, pain.'
"Midnight" has always reminded me of Rod Serling's story "The Monsters are Due on Mulberry Street" which he made into a Twilight Zone episode. I had to read it in high school and I never forgot it.
The scene in ”The Girl In The Fireplace” with Reinette as a child sitting on her bed as the Clockwork Man hides under it is very chilly too. Also the entire episode ”Listen”.
The transformation of Doctor Constantine’s face into the gas mask in The Empty Child and the Flood creatures in Waters of Mars with their crazy eyes and water pouring out of their mouths are the 2 things that still stick with me to this day.
To add to Wilf's comment in Turn Left, consider that he's experienced it (maybe not directly, but he was alive during the war) and then consider part of a quote I like from another sci-fi series, babylon 5: "there are humans for whom the words 'never again' carry special meaning."
My Dad was one of them. He was at one of the death camps two weeks after it was liberated. Someone during integration made the mistake of saying the Germans had the right idea. Not sure how they did not get tossed out of the restaurant over his punching the guy in the nose. According to Mom, he quietly said "do not ever say that in my presence again." And it was over. I was surprised because, my Dad was a very peaceful human being.
Ever seen the miniseries "V" from the 1980s? (*Not* the later spin-off series or remake, the original story.) Made when there were still plenty of people who had seen the death camps in person, but they were just getting old enough to see coming a time when they'd be surrounded by younger people who'd have no idea.
The Angels stealing people's voices is also used in Village of the Angels where they use Jericho's voice, but my particular appreciation goes to a later point, at the beginning of Survivors of the Flux where the Angels are talking to the Doctor. There is no one else around, so I was first thinking: "Wait...Who's voice are they using?" Only to then realize that the creepy voice I'm hearing is actually Jodie Whittaker herself. Terrific voice work there.
As much as I love and appreciate the more acclaimed episodes Wild Blue Yonder VERY quickly became my favourite episode of Doctor Who, helped very much by that chilling speech and score about the edge of the universe
The fact you don't know what the monsters looks like in midnight is even more chilling the fact you are left to your imagination about what it looks like you feel the chill rush up your spine when you hear the mechanic say it's running towards us and you think what is it what is it doing.... Imagination can lead you to the darkest places
One of the most chilling moments to me was from Big Finish: "Who is my father? Who is the man that created GOD?" - An all-powerful child speaking with its fathers voice in "The Holy Terror"
The Peg Dolls are among the creepiest antagonists in the show's history. And to my mind, a massive missed opportunity. Sure, beating The Giggle to the punch 12 years earlier might not have suited George's story all too well, as it's about him confronting his fears if I remember correctly, but at the same time, trapping the Doctor and his companions in a doll's house does sound like something the Toymaker would do.
I remember watching that episode with Sarah Jane Smith and the face mask with the two eyes coming out of all the metal and wires was so haunting. The other classic doctor who but not Tom Baker. It was an episode with clowns and candy I think. It had a lot of pastels in the costumes and sets and everyone smiled all the time. Then hearing the interactions confirming their conformity over and over. They would say “I’m happy you’re glad.” Followed by “And I’m glad you’re happy.” With the pasted smiles on was so completely chilling because it was uncovering a veil of sorts for my young mind that even “people in power” could be as powerless to stop “the bad things” as I felt.
I think the scary ideas like existentialism and nihilism is where Doctor who's horror can shine. Personally most times these non gore deaths and laser beams and stuff don't really get me. They probably only got me in half the examples in the video. But that's just personal preference tho. Still a family show. For more visually scary stuff we have other media and shows in the whoniverse.
"I did spare your son, because he is a useless runt. Sick and weak. And I did have children - I slit their throats when they joined the Resistance." - Ashad, the Lone Cyberman (The Haunting of Villa Diodati)
“Tick tock goes the clock and all the years that fly tick tock goes the clock and you and I must die” still sticks with me yet if you hear the whole song it makes you honestly wanna be looking over your shoulder every night or checking the closest
A few over the years (I'm showing my age here, as most of these will be 80s Classic Era)... Paradise Towers: Tabby & Tilda - cottage-core, lesbian coded cannibals in crocheted cardigans; need I say more? Seriously, it was the implication of that brutality, that desperation beneath a facade of urbane banality that made the Resi's so scary. The Happiness Patrol:: the whole concept of 'Happiness Will Prevail,' and the outlawing of the 'killjoys' was disturbing enough (all that saccharine pink sweetness failing to hide the stench of the system beneath), but it was the Kandy-Man's methods of execution that creeped me out: the thought of being drowned, if not scalded to death by boiling sugar gave me the ab-dabs... The Curse of Fenric: I was not a fan of the Haemovores. I love a good vampire story, and I love a good vampire design, but grey-faced gribblies swarming off the seabed (I grew up on an island in the North Sea), covered in erupting suckers are not my idea of a good time. What was worse was that scene where 7 had to destroy Ace's faith in him to free the Ancient Haemovore to act. Remembrance of the Daleks; Human Nature/The Family of Blood; Night Terrors: creepy little girls skipping to scary nursery rhymes. What makes them scary? It's the music. Nursery rhymes are supposed to invoke childhood, infancy, innocence, and safety. Take any nursery rhyme, or song suggestive of a nursery rhyme, flip that into a minor key, and suddenly something is viscerally wrong.
I think the scariest moment comes from the same episode with the pain pain pain pain pain pain and that's Bill telling the doctor who she is as she is a Cyberman
"Just one drop." They did zombies in a way that made them really terrifying, The Flood is an enemy I'd love to see again. I'd actually forgotten the original 'Tick Tock'. The one that I'll forever remember is Madame Kovarian's from the end of 'Closing Time'. "Tick Tock goes the clock, and what now shall we play? Tick Tock goes the clock, now summer's gone away. Tick Tock goes the clock, and all the years, they fly. Tick Tock, and all too soon, your love will surely Die"
The moment the doctor becomes the time lord victors and when we see someone killing their self to stop him and make him release his gone to far is chilling
Empty Child "Are you my mummy?" Every time. Good list. I don't like how I feel on Benadryl, or the aftereffects, but I don't think I'm sleeping naturally after this vid so I might need some. Well done.
I know I'm in the minority here but the millions upon millions of consciousnesses crying "I don't know where I am" in the Bells of St John coupled with the sheer desperation to be downloaded by the Great Intelligence's henchwoman is one of the most terrifying moments in the show
I would say that the gas attack in Resurrection of the Daleks should be on the list especially when the crewmember gets affected and panicking and his colleague just shoots him. And in Revelation of the Daleks when Arthur Stengos is found being mutated into a Dalek.
Maybe people don't think of them so much because they're things that happened to the bad guys, but for me it's things like the Dalek "sewers" in The Witch's Familiar, the Time Lords that fell victim to Rassilons trap in The Five Doctors and the various aliens trapped by the Matrix harddrive in Hell Bent. Eternal suffering basically. It's a concept that fills me with a sickening dread and all three of those stories left me very uncomfortable for days, if not weeks thinking about those parts.
A decent list. I would like to note how shocking and sad the Sammy Phelan scene is in The Age Of Steel. Each revelation just cranks up the horror of the conversion - absolutely heartbreaking 😢.
Midnight always chills me. The thought of some entity taking possession does my head in. How would you fight such a thing? Even the Doctor couldn't. Truly spine chilling.
Turn left is definitely the one episode that the whole perspective of the episode changed from when you watched as a child to an adult. With the whole labor camp scene being incredibly done. It's one of my favourite episodes when i was younger and even better now. 🫡
Due to old style Who repeating the end of the last episode at the start of the next I had 2 weeks of nightmares from Sarah Jane's face falling off. Spearhead gave me a lasting creepy feeling around waxworks and certain dummies and Wang Chieng gave me nightmares too, I think the dummy but I haven't rewatched it ever tho have rewatched the others.
The first time we hear the Beast's voice in The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit was pretty eerie, especially with Toby's clear terror. Also, everything to do with the Vashta Nerada.
@@TheBlackcredo It would be difficult to get the Vashta Nerada as compelling monsters again. The Doctor says that the Library is a special case, they're not usually that aggressive or numerous, they usually feed on roadkill.
Some time after Blink I discovered life size bronze statues in the open air parts of the Downtown Mall .. did not half give me a start turning the corner and nearly walking into a young lady and her donkey ... and very carefully edging around them and reminding myself they weren't angels ...
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, Ellie’s singing is amazing! A really cool idea if she’d be up for it is a cover of the Long Song from The Rings of Akhaten
I can think of a few more: The Wisper men poem and... and poem said by Didi in Midnight (we must no look at goblin men) are both very chilling moments I would think...
That frontal image of Sarah Jane-bot sitting there pointing the gun is frightening all by itself, mostly due to the build of that robot head wearing that wig.
I know you can't include everything in a list of 10, but I'm surprised "Are you my mummy?" didn't make it on. The moment in the hospital when all the patients start saying it as they converge upon Doc, Rose, and Jack, was definitely a chilling ending to part 1!
‘Spearhead from Space’ is the reason that the Autons are the scariest of the Who creatures to me 💀 And Bernard Cribbens line in ‘Turn Left’ makes me cry every time I see it. Brilliant work
Good list! But how come you didn't included reveal who Toclofanes are when characters opens one of the spheres? That reveal was theo one that literally scarred me for good period of time, I acrltually had to stop watching for a moment. I still have thwt image of deformed, blind human trapped in that sphere and laughing with hate for their human ancestors. Nothing topped that for me in DW in terms of chilling.
Oddly, the empty void at the end of the universe doesn't seem to bother me. But then there was this entire strange argument back in Jr. High with a friend who declared that at the end of the Universe there was nothing ... and it was yellow. That was a mind stretcher.
Question that maybe you can answer, why over time does the doctors regenerations get more powerful, is it because each time the process loses some of its effectiveness or efficiency like each time it will become more powerful and so destructive it will lead to a world ending explosion leaving just the doctor stood in a crater or what?
@ant_mk3596 Perhaps that's why Time Lords are limited to twelve regenerations, anything more gets too dangerous? There may be something the Doctor's birth parents taught her before they had to abandon her, which kept her from experiencing the power creep -- up until the Time Lords messed with his memories and he forgot the knack to regenerating repeatedly safely, along with everything else. The Doctor may need to seek out their birth parents simply to get advice on how to avoid cracking planets with every regeneration!
Terror of nothing at the end of the fact there may be that something is lurking in front of you is some spine-chilling stories do well like raven knocking at a window and saying nevermore, horror stories and ghost stories and science fiction have a scary moment or a lingering air about what happens next or if it could happen again. Repeating themes and chilling themes often leaves it and make it more likely to be something to give everyone's thoughts of what if it were real it could be, it was. Doctor Who has an air of intrigue and mystery and Tom Baker as the Doctor was at the same time as Hammer Horror Films were big in horror and that is why he was popular because horror films were too. Fearing the impossible is a part of the scare factor as it is to look in a mirror and see something else that isn't you or another face looking back at you. Faces are often different fears of aliens or something different a stone statue or a robot or even an old man who travels in time to the impossible game of fear is the area of the many tales of many a book or noir horror stories and stories of how we can be fooled into being scared by a single character or something darker the void is closer than we may imagine shadows are around us all, so fear that what we doubt and look before looking behind the door of mystery?
There actually is an area of empty deep space: The Boötes Void. It's 330 million light years across, and 700 million light years from here. All it contains are sixty galaxies.
You forgot two more chilling moments #1 Mr Diagoras when he gets swallowed by Dalek sec bare in mind he was concisenes during the whole thing number #2 The Abzorbaloff being Abzorbed and having him see all of your thoughts & your alive during the process thats a fate worse than death
Do you want to know what makes the dolls a little bit scarier? In the original broadcast order, this story took place while Amy was a Ganger. That means that she may have been turned into a doll on the other end.
Look...I'm an American but I must say....DO NOT DISRESPECT BEANS ON TOAST! HOWEVER...I don't know about the brits...but here there is ONLY ONE kind of beans that is acceptable for beans on toast. We prefer HEINZ here in the USA (for beans on toast, or beans and weenies). So...how about you brits? What brand do you use across the pond? I am curious.
Heinz is okay, but a bit sugary. Although we can get lower sugar ones. Tbh, you have to try the various brands and puck out your favourite. I quite like Asda's (Walmart, only probably doesn't have the same recipe). Sprinkle some grated cheese on the beans for a treat! I must say, you're the only civilised Yankee I've met. Most don't know about beans on toast. 😉. 🏴🫂🇺🇸
I was an adult the first time I watched Turn Left, so I got what was happening right away. It was just complete dread, you could tell what Wilf is thinking before he even says it.
Stephen Moffat's a liar; the concept of the dead still feeling what happens to them comes from an Edgar Allen Poe story: "The Colloquy of Monos and Una".
"That's what they called them last time" is one of the most chilling scenes in all of television.
I suspect you'd love the TV miniseries "V" from the 1980s.
I couldn’t like hold in my tears during that
It's happening again
What made it all the more unsettling was that the immigrant family just accepted it and allowed themselves to be taken. They didn't fight back or run away, they even told the Nobles that it was for the best, even though they surely KNEW what was going to happen to them. :(
@@JacktheRah indeed.
"Pain. Pain. Pain." is a truly horrific moment
The volume dial makes it worse. So much worse. Mondasian Cybermen are the all-time creepiest Doctor Who adversary ever. No arguments.

My favourite scary Doctor Who episode is Blink and I'm still scared of The Weeping Angels to this day
Some time after Blink I discovered life size bronze statues in the open air parts of the Downtown Mall .. did not half give me a start turning the corner and nearly walking into a young lady and her donkey ... and very carefully edging around them and reminding myself they weren't angels ...
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, Ellie’s singing is amazing! A really cool idea if she’d be up for it is a cover of the Long Song from The Rings of Akhaten
Why hasn't she done that?!!!
@@marionbaggins I knowwww, it would be so good!
@@AstoundingCameron Seriously!!! I love to hear anyone cover that!!! And Ellie hasn't done it, like WHAT?!!!
@@marionbaggins I knowwwww it absolutely neeeeeeeeds to be done, maybe for a whoculture anniversary?
The best story nit just moffats best cyber story
Omg the peg dolls 😭 they scared me more way more the angels 💀😨
I can think of a few more:
The Wisper men poem and...
and poem said by Didi in Midnight (we must no look at goblin men) are both very chilling moments I would think...
We must not look at goblin men..
@@cxyzzle thanks (was wondering what the poem was called)
Comment edited!
@@The_Irsk04 Ah no worries! Yes it was a very chilling moment and the facial expressions from DeeDee just make it all the more creepy!
@@The_Irsk04 I actually just found out that the poems name is “Goblin Market”, with DeeDee’s opening line telling us not to look
That frontal image of Sarah Jane-bot sitting there pointing the gun is frightening all by itself, mostly due to the build of that robot head wearing that wig.
All those years ago with the Autons in Pertwee's era.
I know you can't include everything in a list of 10, but I'm surprised "Are you my mummy?" didn't make it on. The moment in the hospital when all the patients start saying it as they converge upon Doc, Rose, and Jack, was definitely a chilling ending to part 1!
That whole 2 Parter has Chills my very soul!!! And I still love it!!! Still.my Favourite 9th Doctor Story!!!
If Turn Left doesnt appear on this list, i swear...
Edit: I am happy now
‘Spearhead from Space’ is the reason that the Autons are the scariest of the Who creatures to me 💀
And Bernard Cribbens line in ‘Turn Left’ makes me cry every time I see it.
Brilliant work
I watched spearhead from space thinking it would be scary but now I don't get why people think its scary
Some of these moments are truly awful, and it's amazing
❤❤❤Why was Ellie’s singing so good❤❤❤
Good list! But how come you didn't included reveal who Toclofanes are when characters opens one of the spheres? That reveal was theo one that literally scarred me for good period of time, I acrltually had to stop watching for a moment. I still have thwt image of deformed, blind human trapped in that sphere and laughing with hate for their human ancestors. Nothing topped that for me in DW in terms of chilling.
"Are you my Mommy?"
Nice harmonising singing Ellie
8:53 retweet for Ellie to post the full version of her singing the nursery rhyme.
Oddly, the empty void at the end of the universe doesn't seem to bother me. But then there was this entire strange argument back in Jr. High with a friend who declared that at the end of the Universe there was nothing ... and it was yellow. That was a mind stretcher.
Question that maybe you can answer, why over time does the doctors regenerations get more powerful, is it because each time the process loses some of its effectiveness or efficiency like each time it will become more powerful and so destructive it will lead to a world ending explosion leaving just the doctor stood in a crater or what?
@ant_mk3596 Perhaps that's why Time Lords are limited to twelve regenerations, anything more gets too dangerous?
There may be something the Doctor's birth parents taught her before they had to abandon her, which kept her from experiencing the power creep -- up until the Time Lords messed with his memories and he forgot the knack to regenerating repeatedly safely, along with everything else.
The Doctor may need to seek out their birth parents simply to get advice on how to avoid cracking planets with every regeneration!
You guys always catch me off guard with your uploads
Tick Tick goes the clock but only for the Doctor. Creepy little rhyme
👍❤️
Terror of nothing at the end of the fact there may be that something is lurking in front of you is some spine-chilling stories do well like raven knocking at a window and saying nevermore, horror stories and ghost stories and science fiction have a scary moment or a lingering air about what happens next or if it could happen again. Repeating themes and chilling themes often leaves it and make it more likely to be something to give everyone's thoughts of what if it were real it could be, it was.
Doctor Who has an air of intrigue and mystery and Tom Baker as the Doctor was at the same time as Hammer Horror Films were big in horror and that is why he was popular because horror films were too.
Fearing the impossible is a part of the scare factor as it is to look in a mirror and see something else that isn't you or another face looking back at you. Faces are often different fears of aliens or something different a stone statue or a robot or even an old man who travels in time to the impossible game of fear is the area of the many tales of many a book or noir horror stories and stories of how we can be fooled into being scared by a single character or something darker the void is closer than we may imagine shadows are around us all, so fear that what we doubt and look before looking behind the door of mystery?
Hammer peaked in the 70's. Some amazing films.
10:00 yeah looking at it now after my ma died 2 months ago then cremated makes me feel something
i was expecting "curse of fenric" that freaked me out as a kid
Same here. The writing in that was amazing.
I removed watching waters of mars and the thing that scared me the most was the time lord victorious speech
There actually is an area of empty deep space: The Boötes Void. It's 330 million light years across, and 700 million light years from here. All it contains are sixty galaxies.
Mrs Sylvestry on the episode with the planet called midnight, terrifying
Midnight is terrifying from start to finish just in general
It's a true at the edge of the universe as it as anywhere:
There's not beating a dead horse
Wild Blue Yonder would be WAY more scary if it was a little bit darker, I mean, the footage itself
The CGI and Humor took away the Horror for me.
The 10th got it from the 9th
Now hang on ...
No Empty Child?
Gas masks
This is wrong

''Just one more video before bed!'' The video:
You forgot two more chilling moments
#1 Mr Diagoras when he gets swallowed by Dalek sec bare in mind he was concisenes during the whole thing number #2 The Abzorbaloff being Abzorbed and having him see all of your thoughts & your alive during the process thats a fate worse than death
Rewatching Sarah Jane . And the clown , nightmare man , and trickster need be in dr who
Turn Left did happen because of a member of the Tricksters brigade
Idk what 10 did to the family was bone-chilling
hey!
Do you want to know what makes the dolls a little bit scarier? In the original broadcast order, this story took place while Amy was a Ganger. That means that she may have been turned into a doll on the other end.
Look...I'm an American but I must say....DO NOT DISRESPECT BEANS ON TOAST! HOWEVER...I don't know about the brits...but here there is ONLY ONE kind of beans that is acceptable for beans on toast. We prefer HEINZ here in the USA (for beans on toast, or beans and weenies). So...how about you brits? What brand do you use across the pond? I am curious.
Heinz is okay, but a bit sugary. Although we can get lower sugar ones. Tbh, you have to try the various brands and puck out your favourite. I quite like Asda's (Walmart, only probably doesn't have the same recipe). Sprinkle some grated cheese on the beans for a treat!
I must say, you're the only civilised Yankee I've met. Most don't know about beans on toast. 😉. 🏴🫂🇺🇸
I was an adult the first time I watched Turn Left, so I got what was happening right away. It was just complete dread, you could tell what Wilf is thinking before he even says it.
"Don't tase me, Bro... or then cremate me..." ;-P
Number 3 f’ed me up for a while! 😅
2:30 FEMBOT
Stephen Moffat's a liar; the concept of the dead still feeling what happens to them comes from an Edgar Allen Poe story: "The Colloquy of Monos and Una".
I literally nearly threw up when bill got shot
