Doctor Who: "Blink"
They're statues that move when you're not looking. "They're quantum locked. They don't exist when they're being observed. The moment they are seen by any other living creature they freeze into rock. No choice. It's a fact of their biology. In the sight of any living thing they literally turn to stone. And you can't kill a stone. 'Course, a stone can't kill you either, but then you turn your head away... Then you blink... And, oh yes, it can."
I've seen this episode many, many times and it never fails to give me goose bumps. The Angels are terrifying in such a good way. The writing is excellent. The pacing is perfect. You care about the characters who appear in just this one episode. Plus, this episode gives us the phrase "wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey," and that's just awesome.
