Hide your small furry things.:)

Always liked these from classic 'Doctor Who', shame they only appeared in one T.V story.:(

Some of the monsters that scared me from Doctor Who.

The Krynoid from The Seeds of Doom
The serving robots from The Robots of Death
The Jagaroth from City of Death
The Destroyer from Battlefield*
The marshmen from Full Circle
The Wirrn from The Ark in Space
The Fendahleen from Image of the Fendahl
The human Vervoid from Terror of the Vervoids
Morbius from The Brain of Morbius
Mr. Sin from The Talons of Weng-Chiang
The Zygons from Terror of the Zygons
The Silurians from Warriors of the Deep / The Silurians
The Sea Devils from The Sea Devils
The Malus from The Awakening.

*I was too old to find the Destroyer scary but it was a very well designed monster from the final series of classic Who.

Whilst it wasn't a monster story i found The Masque of Mandragora very unsettling at the time. A story together with Image of the Fendahl and The Stones of Blood which probably gave me my love of all things Gothic, and Occulty.

Three of my favourite stories (plus The Daemons is also worth mentioning).

So, it looks like Doctor Who is responsible for promoting interest in the occult amongst at least two people... imagine if the Daily Mail got hold of that! :rolleyes: ;)

I never saw The Daemons at the time so didn't include it.

I agree with you though, whilst not remotely bloody the majority of seventies Doctor Who, the Baker years in particular, was scary for those lucky enough to be in the 6 - 13 age range. Some of the scenarios stayed with me for a long long time and began my interest in horror.

I can't believe no-one has mentioned Pumpkinhead!
