Also, in terms of New Who, there's both "Empty Child" and "The Impossible Planet". The respective second-parters aren't as scary.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Neither of those matched "Midnight", for me.

My mistake with The Empty Child was watching it on the computer, in the dark, with headphones.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Midnight, Blink, and The Empty Child are pretty much the new Who trifecta of scary for me.

Because books.
Oh yeah, Blink! One of the only Who episodes I've seen all the way through, and it was terrifying.

Re Faction Paradox: There is also Dead Romance which is, er, well, hard to fit in. The Faction isn't in it, technically, but it is by Lawrence Miles and there are... links. To other things. She said, enigmatically. There's also a lovely FP short story collection that came out earlier this year: [link]
I should look into the audios
You should! And, er, is your profile address good? Just for a teaser.

What happened in Midnight? I am not remembering it from the title.

It's the Donna-light episode, where the infected person starts repeating what the Doctor says, then says it with him, then gets ahead of him.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Dead Romance for some reason did not grab me. I dunno - I think I don't get a certain type of baroque. Is "baroque" the right word for what failed to grab me?
