I love Christopher Eccleston in Heroes and Elizabeth, but I've never ever seen Dr. Who. Actually, I don't think he's even on there now. So screw that show.

But who didn't watch Tales From the Crypt at least once? Or, ya know, all the time like me?

"Miss Jones" is reasonably hot but considering Tales from the Crypt's guest star policy I'm pretty sure it would kill it. That being said I've never seen any version of Dr. Who and I hate sci-fi. So Cheap, Campy Horror > Sci Fi.

Doctor Who does horror all the time. It's full of monsters and aliens, it's just that it always has to have a sci-fi explanation to it, rather than a supernatural one. The shows known for being one that kids would have to "hide behind the sofa" for. In "New Who" alone, there's been episodes about:
-Ghosts showing up in cardiff in the 1600s

-in WW2 London where a little boy wearing a gasmask stalks a homeless girl looking for his mummy, anyone he touches turning into a version of him doing the same

-A space station on a planet that's somehow close to a black hole without being pulled in has it's inhabitants terrorised and possessed by a force claiming to be Satan

-Werewolf on the loose in Victorian era Scotland

(don't ask about the scottish kung fu monks, alright? The Werewolf is enough!)
-really tense one where people at an abandoned house go missing, and it's all to do with these creepy statues of angels

Just me and Stu voting for the good doctor, eh?

Man, that gas mask kid was spooky.

My favorite though, (of those I've seen, I haven't gotten around to seeing half of the episodes yet,) is "The Girl in the Fireplace."

"What do monsters have nightmares about?"

"Me!"

Just the greatest encapsulation of everything that is Dr. Who right there.
