Day 6 – Scariest Moment – Doctor Who 30 Day Challenge
I checked out other people’s scariest episodes and most of them just weren’t “scary” to me. Since I didn’t start watching until I was 13 years old, some things just didn’t terrify me like it would little kids. But there were definitely moments that pop to mind.
Yes, there were some things that were gross or creepy, but scary is something different. It could be a type of jump scare. Or an idea. Or the true identity of a character. Below are my scariest:
The Valeyard
In the 6th Doctor’s very long Trial of a Time Lord arc, we are introduced to the Valeyard. And the true identity of who he really isn’t revealed in part 13 of 14. is scared me silly when I first watched it back in the 80s. I’m not going to say who he really is, for those who haven’t seen it yet.
When it played on the Doctor Who Twitch marathon earlier this year, people in the chat just bugged out when it was revealed. And it has remained one of my favorite twists in the whole history of the show
An Audio entry: Real Time
Real Time was an audio adventure that was turned into an animated adventure 16 years ago this month. I watched each part as the BBC released it. It’s a 6th Doctor story (with Colin Baker returning for the voice) and his companion Professor Evelyn Smythe (who I love. My favorite audio-only companion). I love this story dearly but the reveal of who the Cyber Controller is was just….*shivers*…scary and creepy and eeEEEWWWW and gross and …well I haven’t listened to the whole thing since then because it scared me too much.
Below is part one of the animated story remastered by a fan:

The Weeping Angels
Okay, if you are familiar at all with New Who, you knew this was coming. Blink is one of the best episodes ever. And one of the scariest. And even though the Weeping Angels lost their scariness in later episodes (Angels in Manhattan is an exception. Love that one), Blink still is the strongest appearance of them.
Below is a music video cleverly edited by a fan using Cameleon Circuit’s awesome trock song, Blink. (Trock is music, usually rock/pop inspired by the show)
