I could have almost written this secret in my sleep (seriously, Blink had me by the lizard-brain for a loooooong time. Went months before I stopped jumping just at the sight of white stone or marble).

...except I don't think that just because I prefer them less scary, that somehow means it's an objectively "good thing" that they're less scary. That ruins the experience for the millions of other fans who weren't as disturbed by them as I was. Who am I to make judgements based solely on my personal foibles? Particularly as their unscariness came along with gaping plotholes and inconsistencies that made no sense.

Also, what mainly made them less disturbingly scary to me was the fact that in Blink, the Doctor was stuck in 1969, and couldn't come and save Sally and Larry. Whereas the Doctor was there with them in subsequent appearances. Yeah, that didn't make a damn difference in safety levels in the plot, but psychologically...it made a BIG difference.
