1 | * ''Illegal Alien'' features the antics of a crazed Cyberman. And then we're treated to a glimpse of what the Cybermen [[YouWillBeAssimilated do]] [[MedicalHorror to]] their victims. |
2 | ** Ace narrowly escapes torture at the hands of a chillingly believable Nazi captain. |
3 | * ''Matrix'' is steeped in this. An inscrutable entity invades the TARDIS, driving the Doctor to leave Ace in the care of his first incarnation. However, continuation of the [[UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper Whitechapel murders]] has gendered an alternate timeline wherein sustained fear fed an [[EldritchAbomination incorporeal monster]] whose feral, sadistic "wraiths" keep Britain in a state of impoverished dread. This monster, [[spoiler: an amalgamation of brutal thoughts distilled from the Time Lord Matrix]], then briefly possesses the Doctor. A lost Ace and an amnesiac Doctor contend with poverty, crime, a [[CircusOfFear brutally inhumane circus]], a lynch mob, and aspects of their darker selves [[DemonicPossession stoked briefly]] by [[spoiler: the Valeyard]]. |
4 | ** The TARDIS Telepathic Circuit telepathically reveals the rule of the [[spoiler: Dark Matrix]], which manifests in a vision of bleeding streets and a colossal, spectral giant, which [[SwallowedWhole eats people]]. |
5 | * The monstrous, nigh-on unkillable monsters of ''Storm Harvest''. |
6 | * The MindScrew of ''Verdigris''. |
7 | * ''Festival of Death''. There's a skull-faced angel on the front cover. The main villain [[spoiler:wipes out an entire species in an attempt to send his consciousness back to his own birth to save his parents from death]]. The worst part? [[spoiler:He succeeds, [[AndIMustScream but is just a passenger in his younger self's head, hooked into the senses but unable to control anything]]. So he has to watch his parents dying in a shuttle accident ''an infinite number of times''.]] And most reviews consider it ''humorous''. Funny? It's flat f**king terrifying, that's what it is. |
8 | * The alien horrors of ''Island of Death''. |
