Doctor Who: 10 Terrifying Moments In Under The Lake

5. Pritchard Returns

Of course his death is nothing as bad as the moment he returns from the dead. In a moment definitely unsuitable for the kids, Clara and Bennett come across Pritchard in the yellow suit, his back to them across the rec room. At this point the audience knows that he is dead so the build up to their horrifying discovery only raises the bar higher.

And then his corpse drifts past the window and they realise that there is a ghost amongst them. Slowly, ever so slowly, Pritchard turns to face them with the black chasms where his eyes should be in a scene that could be right out of any horror movie. Terrifying stuff indeed.
