The God Complex (TV story)

 was the eleventh episode in the sixth series of Doctor Who.

Synopsis
The Doctor, Amy and Rory investigate a hotel of horror where repeat business is low but the body count is high, where a mighty monster stalks the corridors and the rooms hold visions of angels, apes and creepy clowns. Who - or what - has brought them to this place? Can the Doctor solve the mystery before the residents check out in grisly style?

Plot
Lucy Hayward is writing about a mysterious monster and how it has made all of her companions 'praise him' after they find their rooms. Soon she starts to praise him and the creature kills her.

The Doctor, Amy and Rory arrive in the hotel and the Doctor begins to investigate, certain that they are somewhere fascinating. Rory shows him a picture of a Sontaran on the wall. They see many pictures, including a Judoon Captain and Lucy Hayward. They ring the front desk bell and almost gets hit by a chair leg held by a girl called Rita. Rita is with Howie and Gibbis, a cowardly, mole-like alien.

Rita says that each room contains a bad dream.. The Doctor goes to see Joe, who is tied up in his room, which is full of ventriloquist's dummies. Joe tells him that everyone here has a room, even him. They take Joe with them, but the creature senses Joe's presence and kills him.

Everyone searches for rooms to hide in. Howie's room holds attractive girls who mock him for being nerdy and stuttering. The Doctor pulls him out of the room and they look for somewhere else to hide. Amy, Howie and Gibbis enter a room full of Weeping Angels. The Doctor arrives and tells Amy to face her fear. They're not real.
