10 Best Horror Movies Starring Doctor Who Actors

2. Afraid Of The Dark (1991)

Eighth Doctor Paul McGann gets an eyeful - *ahem* - in this 1991 psychological tale which tells the story of a young boy who becomes obsessed with his own delusions of blindness and violence. Helmed by Academy Award director Mark Peploe, the film quickly escalates into a twisted world of supernatural shocks and surprises as its paranoid protagonist convinces himself that there's a mass murderer on the loose in his neighbourhood. You'll have to check it out for yourself to find out more but trust us when we say that it gets real gruesome, real quick. And the picture above can definitely vouch for that. That's gonna leave a mark!
