While most fans will agree that the companions on Doctor Who are quite memorable, not all of them would make the final showdown in a horror movie.

While Doctor Who fans always wait with bated breath to see which actor will play the newest regeneration of the Doctor, it is the titular character's companions that bring out the best in them. The Doctor's companions have been varied and distinct over the years, and theyplay keyrolesin the success or failure of the adventures that the TARDIS takes them to. Every Doctor Who companion is uniquemost are valiantly heroic, some are a bit hesitant to prowl through the universe, and a few are devilishly intelligent.

A lot of Doctor Who is akin to a horror show, but how would the Doctor's main companions fare if they were placed in a true horror flick, together? Let's take a look at who will go down first, and who will survive right till the end.

Rose Tyler's boyfriend in the first series of theNew Whowas used to a mundane, ordinary life, and didn't want to change anything about his boring existence. He only watched television with Rose, and when faced with the existence of aliens and other universes, heacted like a coward, which is why the Doctor refused to travel with him.

Mickey was initially not willing to save his planet and ran away from the tough stuff, but later developed a thicker skin and did travel with the Doctor. However, his initial cowardice would definitely make him the first victim of a horror movie.

Ryan had a good heart, and he always wanted to help Graham, Yaz, and the Doctor, especially after Grace's death. However, Ryan wasn't alert and failed to recognize the danger around him in time, which would lead to his death pretty quickly.

When they landed in the middle of the Rally of the Twelve Galaxies, he didn't take the Doctor's warnings to not use guns seriously.He went ahead and shot murderous robots, which just angered them further and put all of them in danger. In "Orphan 55," he also attracted a lot of attention when he contracted the Hopper Virus, which just served to emphasize his recklessness.

Amy's lovelorn boyfriend turned husband had a unique run on the show. He got shot by a Silurian and was absorbed into a crack in space and time very early on. However, he wasn't very confident of his actions, despite being a nurse.

Even though he was resurrected, the viewers were shocked to discover that he had actually come back as an Auton. His early jealousy of the Doctor often clouded his judgment, and he later was killed by the Weeping Angels. Overall, Rory would be one of the first victims to be killed off.

Twelve's companion Bill was young, tenacious, and too eager for adventure. She courted danger from the get-go, with her first romance being with a watery alien. Bill's naivete got her shot and turned into the earliest version of a Cyberman, even though the Doctor was also at fault for bringing her along with him. Bill, while intelligent and courageous, was prone to getting caught in dangerous situations which would make her an easy target.

The young probationary officer was the perfect companion to Thirteen since she was actually trained to handle tough situations as a police worker. Unluckily for Yaz, herwillingnessto take risks put her in danger more than a few times, where she had to be rescued by the Doctor.

For instance, she got herself in trouble when she went along with Nikola Tesla to the spaceship of the Skithra.Yasmin also got abducted into theKasaavin lair when she was sneaking around Barton's office because she decided not to leave when she should have. With the Doctor not around, Yasmin would survive a horror movie for a while, but death would get her soon enough.

Many might underestimate Graham because of his age and emotional nature, but he is good at compartmentalizing and using his presence of mind. In "Rosa," the viewers see him use his knowledge of history to help the gang with their mission.

In "The Timeless Children," he came up with the idea to disguisethe gangas Cybermen to escape Ashad. Let's not forget how cautious he was when approaching danger ("The Woman Who Fell To Earth"). Graham's tact and intelligence would help his survival.

Amy was extremely independent, even in her childhood. She survived the crack in her wall, the vampiric Saturyns, fought off several pirates and a siren. Amy also managed to help take down the Silence and outsmart Madame Kovarian.

Throughout heradventures with Eleven, Amycame out mostly unscathed. Her survival instincts were perfect, and she would be higher on this list if she hadn't chosen death for love.

While emotional, Martha was a tough cookie. She displayed her ability to work alone, successfully, when the Doctor and Jack were captured, and she teleported herself away and traveled the world undoing The Master's actions.

Her medical training and defense instincts made her a tough opponent. Martha also knew when to leave a bad situation, just like she did at the end of her tenure when she left the Doctor to protect her well-being. Her job at UNIT would have provided her with enough resources to ensure her survival.

Ten's most individualistic companion, Donna, would definitely make it in any horror movie. Her inability to put up with nonsense would probably scare a ghost, but it's also worth noting that she was DoctorDonna at one point. She had absorbed the knowledge of the entire universe and become a being that comprised herself and the powers of a Time Lord.

Donna's only weaknessesare that she was unfailingly kind, and if her memories of DoctorDonna were brought back, her mind may not be able to handle the enormity of her power.

The Doctor's first love in the new series, Rose was not as flighty as people had expected her to be. She was heroic to the last degree, and was destined to save Earth and the Universe as Bad Wolf. Rose had defeated the villainous Daleks single-handedly when she absorbed with energies of the time vortex in the TARDIS and even brought a dead Jack Harkness to life.

Even sealed away in an alternate universe, she didn't pine for Ten- instead, she started working for Torchwood to fight alien attacks. Rose was a powerful companion and would be difficult to kill.

The impossible girl, Clara was the Doctor's longest-serving and most resilient companion. Her entrance into the Doctor's timestream made her incarnations appear all over his timeline, guiding him and even rescuing him for eons. She survived this feat and even took the Doctor's place during "Flatline," being as ruthless and pragmatic as he was while making Universe-altering decisions.

She outsmarted the Doctor by tampering with his memory device so he couldn't erase her memories and went on adventures of her own with Ashildr. By far, one of the Doctor's most powerful companion who refuses to die.

Charismatic Jack Harkness would not be so high up on the survival list if it wasn't for the fact that he had been rendered immortal when Rose reincarnated him from the dead. He was definitely infinitely clever and as a former con man, he knew how to get out of a tough situation.

If place in a horror movie, Jack would be hard to kill because his immortality would basically put him on the same playing field as Michael Myers. Jack also became Torchwood's leader, which meant he had a force of the cleverest people in the world at his command.
