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 to the movie Poltergiest where the daughter is sucked into the spirit realm through her bedroom cupboard.
