To add to the topic of creepy Doctor Who aliens (if we're still on that) :

Autons. 

Yeah, you remember the Autons - those living mannequins that were in the first episode of the 2005 series? 

Except, I'm not talking about the 2005 series. 

Because they were also in Classic Who. And they were soooo much worse in Classic Who. Why? Because they were cheap. 

Now I know that sounds weird - ordinarily Classic Who's low budget and occasionally laughable effects should, if anything, make the monsters look [i]less[/i] scary, right?

But unlike most of the other monsters in the series, the Autons were supposed to look like plastic. And in their case, they looked like really really cheap, ugly plastic.

Just imagine, for a moment, an army of creatures that look as if they spawned from the dirtiest, grungiest Chinese factory you can imagine - made with sloppy, uneven molds that leave their faces lopsided and unnatural-looking, a sort of weird shine to their skin that only makes you think of the grime that must most likely be covering them, and paint jobs that leave horrifying, straight-out-of-Nat's-sig expressions plastered onto their faces. Just... AAAUGH!!

Fucking Autons, man.
