8 More Scariest TV Episodes To Watch This Halloween

5. Blink - Doctor Who

The British legend that is Doctor Who is for some reason synonymous with terrifying moments - scarring children and unsettling adults for the past 55 years since its inception in the 1960s. Whilst an adventuring time lord exploring alternate futures and distant pasts might anchor itself in family friendly fun, the Doctor's discoveries aren't always good. Case in point: The Weeping Angels.

Originally appearing in the episode Blink, these angelic statues are intent on harvesting the time energy locked in the TARDIS, and won't let anyone get in their way on their quest to feed upon it. Able to move at impossible speeds when they aren't being observed, the only defence against these terrifying, screeching stone-y monsters is to stare them right in the face. But you can't blink, or they'll get you.

No thanks.
