Night Terrors (TV story)

Night Terrors was the ninth episode in the sixth series of Doctor Who.

Synopsis
The Doctor receives a distress call from the scariest place in the Universe: a child’s bedroom. Every night George lies awake, terrorised by every fear you can possibly imagine – fears that live in his bedroom cupboard. His parents are getting desperate – George needs a doctor. Fortunately for George, his desperate pleas for help break through the barriers of all time and space and the Doctor makes a house call. But allaying his fears won’t be easy; because George’s monsters are real.

Story notes

 * This episode had the working titles: What are Little Boys Made of? and House Call.
 * The scene where the Doctor and Alex are being sucked into the cupboard is very similar and maybe a reference to the movie Poltergiest where the daughter is sucked into the spirit realm through her bedroom cupboard.
