You're getting details wrong.
Prior to Series 5 (when he became executive producer, story editor, head writer and all-around head honcho of Doctor Who), Steven Moffat contributed four stories to the program; two two-parters ("The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" in Series 1, "Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead" in Series 4), and two single episodes ("The Girl in the Fireplace" and "Blink").
But yes, they are genuinely scary episodes, and very entertaining. I particularly like that first one, if only because of the Doctor's line at the end. You know the one.
Back on topic...Ganger!Jennifer's transformation in "The Almost People" really wasn't that involved or detailed, and we didn't see much of it. Not a lot of process, really. Scary, yes, but that was more because she was plain bonkers at that point.
