- Welcome to Fictional Fears, a series where we delve into the fundamental nature of fear by analysing our favourite horror icons from film and TV to try and understand what makes them so terrifying.
In this episode we dive into the classic Doctor Who villain Vashta Nerada from season 4 starring David Tennant and uncover why they might just be the most dangerous creature of the entire Whoniverse, capable of swallowing the universe in an instant.

![DID IT SUCK? | Doctor Who [SILENCE IN THE LIBRARY / FOREST OF THE DEAD MEGA REVIEW]](/img/n.gif)
The video is very gripping. The narrator's speech is on point - he does well to put emphasis on the end of his sentences. And the editing is top notch 👌I look forward to see how far this channel can go 🔥
Bro I had no idea there was a spin off about genetically engineering Vashta Nerada that’s insane 😂 I hope they do bring them back because when you think about it the fact they’re literally all around us is kinda swept under the carpet for a lot of Doctor Who
100% it seems so strange to me that they’re mentioned as a universal threat in two episodes and then barely bought up again, here’s hoping they bring them back even if it wasn’t as big as the engineering angle even a blink style episode where the Doctor takes a backseat and it’s just classic Vashta Nerada would be good enough
Still one of my favorites. I still get chills every time I watch it.
100% definitely in my top 5 creatures of the Whoniverse, I really hope they make a return there’s so much potential left there, I guess the only problem would be how powerful they are so an episode on earth would definitely be a bit risky, it’s not like the doctor can just ditch earth and quarantine it from the universe like funworld 😅
@Fictional-Fears True. Probably go the "Pitch Black" movie route, where the doctor is on a commercial ship that crash lands on a planet that has nothing but the Vashta left, and he has to get them off quickly, maybe?
@@brentgrisier1738 I’d love something like this, similar to midnight vibe where the doctor is just chucked in with these strangers and has to deal with them as well as the Vashta, although now I think about it although they probably couldn’t touch earth I would like an explanation as to why deforestation on Earth hasn’t triggered the Vashta Nerada yet seems a bit strange they haven’t got even a little more aggressive
Would love to see a good story where they come back, however I fear they would do something stupid like show them in a physical form or give them more powers and ruin some of the haunting aspect to them, similar to the animated weeping angels or the angels possessing images of angels.
I legit didn’t even consider that I was thinking about the potential for how good a return could be but you’re right there’s so many ways they could mess it up, like there’s no physical form I think they could create that could make them as chilling as they are now, and if they have the doctor find another weakness beyond poisoning and light it might start to take away from how terrifying they are to begin with so there’s definitely a lot of ways to mess it up, but if they just resist that urge to innovate too too much and stick to the formula they have a return could be so good
@@Fictional-Fearsdo you agree the new doctor who ( Chibnal RTD new era)
If they were so deadly and common, we would notice skeletons bejng left all over the place. Either they're so dangerous that every species is afraid of the dark, or they're a secret. Cant be both.
@@GamesFromSpace I think they could be deadly and common tho in that they’re all around us but as the doctor explains they only strike in defence of losing their homes. And when it comes to the either or situation you might not know specifically that Vashta Nerada exist, but if evolutionary wise we know people can walk into the shadows and never return it makes sense we’d develop a fear of the dark whilst also not knowing exactly why. Especially given they’re microscopic so we could never see them anyway. So I can see how their existence could legislate for every species fearing of the dark and at the same time their existence being a secret because even if we literally saw someone turn into a skeleton we wouldn’t even know it was Vashta Nerada because they strip flesh so fast and we can’t see them. All we’d associate that with is shadow and hence a fear of the dark. That’s not to say there aren’t flaws in the logic but overall I think it makes sense
keep it up the vids are so good
Thank you, appreciate the support 🙏
That consciousness point is a good one, I don’t quite get how they’re able to communicate when there’s millions of individual Vashta Nerada in one swarm, if they do bring them back I’d like to see that explored a bit more
Definitely but I wouldn’t go too overboard with it and have loads of proper Dave’s walking around all with their own consciousness and movement, I feel like part of what makes them so terrifying is how there can be millions right there in front of you yet complete silence, having them come together and control objects too much could take away from their chilling nature, but theres still so much to explore two episodes definitely isn’t enough for such a great concept
Do u agree that anything after Matt smith has been ass
The recent stuff doesn’t touch the golden generation of Doctor Who 100%, I was hoping RTD’s return would spark it back into life but so far it’s not hit that same chord, and Disney getting hold of it doesn’t fill me with hope 😂
