I think you need to see them at a more impressionable age for that kind of thing to work. ;)
Quite possibly, though, again, the reason I still find the Cybermen terrifying (especially this most recent bunch) is because of the idea behind them, much more so than the actual visuals. And I'll confess that Sutekh still scared me when watching PoM last week, but that's probably also because he scared the living shit out of me when I was a kid as much as the idea of a creature like that existing.
Alas, I don't want to spoil myself, either, so I guess I will pass on the fic :( Maybe I'll be more caught up next time!
