they freaked me out, and i was say with my mouth agape as it killed that ditsy american women, but they don't really scare me

Good job Moff as scaring the lil kiddies though hehehe..

It freaked me out when River Song saw the Silence (family?) down in the tunnels.

Freaky is the word that comes to mind.

well, they get progresively creepy and scary as episode 2 comes along. I know this monster would be remember for a long time though, they have this weird appeal to them. You know what bug me about them, they are dress very formal. I don't know why, but it's something weird.

To me, Moffet is playing off every basic fear with them- they have skull-like faces, (and also resembling the scream painting), they don't really talk and you don't remember them so they're mysterious, they're tall and dress in suits so they have an authoritative sort of feel, and basically every time something goes bump in the night but there's seemingly nothing it's them

I dunno, I forgot what they looked like ;P (I think thats the right answer)

What monster?

They were kinda scary, but I found them less intimidating after one spoke to Amy & let her go.

They're more frustrating than scary, to me. Frustrating because you forget the whole thing after you look away -- then you have to start all over.

I like a frustrating baddie though. It's rare to pull off a frustrating one, much easier to pull off scary.

So if it's scary to some, and frustrating to just me, I don't know.

Well I personally thought they were very cool but they terrified both of my sisters. So good job to Moff for creating yet another cool villain.

Yup, The Silence are scary. And to think they used to say silence is golden.

If you're talking about scaring children the best thing about them is once you've checked under the bed to make sure they're not there, you need to check again because you will have forgotten the first time..and the second..
