I think there was an effort in the past to make sure it's a family show and disconnect The Doctor from the more mature parts of the whoniverse. Maybe the changes in production and, maybe, the realization adults are too obsessed with it create new avenues for money making creativity.

A lot of Doctor Who episodes are straight up scary or very disturbing at least.

The weeping angels scared the shit out of 10 year old me.

The weeping angels are definitely bad, I was also thinking of the Waters of Mars or Midnight episodes. Which are straight up terrifying.
