Re: British RPF most scary DR WHO monster?
The monsters weren't that scary to me, but the doctor gave me the creeps.

The giant maggots from 'The Green Death' scared five types of green crap out of me when it first aired in 1973. I was 6. Interestingly, being eyeless tubes with teeth, they kind of pre-figured Giger's Alien head...

I didn't start watching Doctor Who until I was a bit older so I can't say that any of them really scared me but those Weeping Angels from the new series would have made me crap my pants as a kid.
From the original series I always found the scariest monsters to be the ones you don't see, or even worse the ones that nobody suspected until it was too late. Like the Master's plastic doll in Pertwee's first story.

Two things.
1.) I'm breaking the rules because I'm American and posting here anyway.
2.) I only started watching Dr. Who as an adult.
That said, the Weeping Angels in Blink are ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. The Autons are pretty freaky, too, mostly because they work on the same concept: they're everyday items that you see, which normally seem innocuous, but in Dr. Who turn out to be deadly.
I think the episode The Impossible Planet would've been freaky, too, but more because the monster is the Devil himself (well, sort of).
Come to think of it, if I'd been around 6 years old, a LOT of the monsters from Pertwee's era and on would've scared me. The Green Death, as I recall, had the miners all melting and turning green and such. That was pretty freaky, too.

I was a kid in the 80's and for me the Cybermen freaked me out way more than anything else.
I'd like to know what today's kids think is the scariest.

Oddly enough I watch the new series with my 4 year old son and none of it seems to scare him. He's got balls of steel I guess 'cause there's quite a bit that I know would have scared me!

The first time the original Sontaran took his helmet off certainly did unbalance my world slightly at the time...I was terrified and amused at the same time. One of the freakiest heads in all SF, that.

Yeah, the Zygons! They looked like one of my primary school teachers, Mrs. Milner.

Re: British RPF most scary DR WHO monster?
There was another amazing one that was, like, this tiny little scrunched-up sick-looking huge-headed freak that was called the Guardian and lived in a mine and looked like he was made out of boiled vegetables. I never saw the episodes themselves and have no idea even who was playing the doctor at the time or what the adventure was called. Anyone have any info on this? The story involved the Doctor uncovering a corrupt mining operation involving a mining robot on an alien planet. Certainly pre- 1975.
