 | Doctor Who battles creepy dolls in 'Night Terrors' |
The second part of Doctor Who's sixth series will soon be upon us and the news surrounding its stories is starting to turn from a trickle into a flood. Mark Gatiss' third script for the BBC Wales series will introduce a new menace that promises to scare the socks off of viewers.
As any regular visitor to my blog would know, I have mixed feelings about the new series but I do like how Moffat is varying the stories so far, diverting from horror to sci-fi epic and domestic comedy with comparative ease. I'm also a big supporter of new ideas and new monsters, something that Moffat again is determined to continue. That said, a recent glimpse of a Cyberman in what appears to be a tomb has me very excited.
Here's the official BBC release for series 6 episode 9: 'Night Terrors.'
Via TardisNewsroom:
A little boy called George is terrified of something lurking in his bedroom cupboard…
The Doctor receives a strange letter, begging "Help me"…
And so begins Night Terrors, episode nine of the current Doctor Who series.
Written by Mark Gatiss, it sounds like being an eerie, scary tale and (as you might expect from the man who presented BBC4 documentary series A History of Horror) it employs a reliable staple of supernatural movies - toys coming to life.
The creepy Peg Dolls – until now, heralded only by a brief appearance in the series six trailer - are dead-eyed, implacable and relentless.
But what do they want with young George?
Daniel Mays (last seen in Outcasts and Ashes to Ashes) plays worried dad Alex, who teams up with the Doctor to help battle his son George's demons. But not before Rory and Amy find themselves miniaturised and sucked into the strange doll's house in George's cupboard.
What else can the Doctor and Alex do but follow them inside...?
Doctor Who – Night Terrors airs on Saturday 3 September.
