History NightmareFuel / BigFinishDoctorWho

* ''Dust Breeding'' makes inventively sinister use of Creator/EdvardMunch's already decidedly unsettling "The Scream." The Warp Core, an incorporeal entity of "unreasoning hate," is revealed to have taken refuge in the unsuspecting painter, thereby [[MindRape inducing]] a sense of overwhelming horror, with the sky having turned to "coagulated blood." By way of possessing the Doctor, the Warp Core introduces itself.

* ''The Holy Terror'' starts off as a light-hearted satire of MedievalMorons and ends up {{Mood Whiplash}}ing you into a [[YourHeadAsplode gruesome]] KillEmAll DownerEnding orchestrated by the EnfantTerrible [[AGodAmI to end all Enfant Terribles]].

Just like [[Series/DoctorWho its parent series]], ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' has some rather unsettling moments.

* ''Master''. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As you may have guessed from the title]], it prominently features you-know-who, and it's not the [[EvilIsSexy suave]], [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome here-come-the-drums]], MagnificentBastard Master, either. It's the ''[[BodyHorror skeleton-looking]], AxCrazy psychopath'' [[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E3TheDeadlyAssassin Master]]. Basically, it's ''Literature/AndThenThereWereNone'' meets UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper [[InSPACE as a homicidal Time Lord]], but it's WAY freakier ([[TearJerker and more tragic]]) than that. One last thing: you know how one of the Doctor's [[IHaveManyNames names]] is "Time's Champion"? The Master is ''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Death's Champion]]''. [[PlayedForDrama You will never look at]] ForTheEvulz the same way again.

* The sheer horror of the Time War cannot be overstated. Across the audios, the Time Lords descend into the same depths as the Daleks in a monstrous, endless struggle, matching them so equally they feel there cannot possibly be any hope for victory other than increasingly desperate Hail Mary passes as both sides keep smashing across [[GodzillaThreshold threshold after threshold]], each time with even less to lose. At one point, the War Valeyard successfully engineers a plan that ''eradicates the Daleks entirely from the timeline''. And just to show how goddamn scary the tinpots are, just as everyone's trying to catch their breath and revel in a job well done, ''[[ForegoneConclusion they come back, more pissed than ever]]''. Even the Doctor has never dared to go through with eradicating them; ''this is why'' - the Time Lords ''have made the Daleks angry'' and, even worse, '''''made it personal.'''''.

* Nobody No-One is an ax-crazy, utterly deranged being from another dimension with ridiculously overpowered godlike abilities that allow him to do more or less whatever he wants, provided he hears someone say he can.

** Goldilocks is the single scariest Doctor Who villain ever. Mechanical puppet voiced by Bonnie Langford? Hilarious. Mechanical puppet voiced by Bonnie Langford who will [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwash]] you with fairy dust and is working for [[EldritchAbomination the Divergents]]? Really scary.

* ''The Apocalypse Element''. It managed to portray the Daleks as a credible threat without use of ConservationOfNinjitsu to help them. In the story, the Daleks take a planetoid out of time and space, kidnap Lady President Romana and hold her prisoner for twenty years, trap a delegation of ambassadors on a planet and steer the aforementioned planetoid towards it. The plan actually ''succeeds'', killing millions in the process. Then they bypass the transduction barrier and invade Gallifrey, ripping the eyes out of citizens to bypass retinal scanners and killing guards in a KerbStompBattle. ''Then'' they detonate a volatile element mined from the planetoid, which destroys a whole galaxy and almost the entire universe, killing billions. In short, do not mess with the Daleks.

* ''Creatures of Beauty''. The Doctor and Nyssa drop out of the Vortex for a second, just enough to gather their bearings... which is just long enough for the TARDIS to smash into a ship illegally transporting enormous tanks full of contaminants, spreading all of it into a lush world and transforming it into a dying, nightmarish ecological disaster. And the worst part is, they don't even know they're responsible...

** And then it turned out, whether he intended to or not, even before the Last Great Time War, Time Lord society was already rotting. One of their Presidents checked the Matrix for future projections and found that Gallifrey was destroyed in virtually every timeline, save for those in which it was the only planet in existence. His answer? Found a group of Time Lord madmen to implement a plan to make the Time Lords truly immortal and damn the cost. This group's name? ''The Doom Coalition.''

* The Eminence, first introduced in the main range and then later became one of the main threats in "Dark Eyes", are becoming this. They're threat so terrible the Doctor is willing to work with his ArchEnemy the Dalek Time Controller to stop them. They are a SuperSmoke from the end of time that turn people into zombies. And to demonstrate there is an image on the cover of [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoNEDASDarkEyes2E3TimesHorizon Times Horizon]].

* In the second part, ''Purity,'' we see first hand where Davros gets his manipulative and murderous tendencies from; his mother, Calcula. To elaborate, she tricks his sister, Yarvell, into revealing the fact that she inadvertently put Davros' life in danger by warning the Thal's about a mission he was on. How does she do this? By lying to her that Davros was killed. And then, to make things worse, Calcula ''drowns'' Yarvell, ''her own daughter,'' for ''accidentally'' putting Davros' life at risk!
