Say what you like about Steven Moffat, but he was really good at writing the villains of Doctor Who.

He made them actually scary and exciting, without having to rely on CGI or costumes, which would lessen the effect of them, because they would appear less real.

Like don't get me wrong I love the RTD era more than anything, but RTD had aliens like the Slitheen or the Judoon, which were kind of ridiculous and hard to take seriously.

But Moffat wrote things such as the Empty Child, which was a truly frightening episode. It prayed on a basic fear of creepy children, which everyone seems to have, combined with the inherent creepiness of gas masks, as well as repeated phrases, rather than special effects. These three things are unsettling on their own but Moffat combined them in a way to make them genuinely scary.

Then there's the weeping angels, which again uses little special effects since they're just statues. This monster's scariness feeds on the fear of what could happen when you're not looking and the intensity of trying not to blink. This, as well as the fact that statues moving when you're not looking or statues coming to life is commonly used in horror and is just simply creepy.

The same can be said with the Vashta Nerada from Silence In The Library. Skeletons can be scary, but using fear of the dark and again, repeated phrases, is much scarier.

Or The Silence. Forgetting something that happened to you and a growing number of tally marks on your skin is much scarier than an alien could ever be.

So yeah sorry I just wanted to get that all down.

TL;DR: Steven Moffat is really good at writing scary antagonists for DW episodes because he uses fears we already have and amplifies them.
