Doctor Who Series 6 Episode 9: Night Terrors

The creepy dolls! Amy, Rory, and the doctor travel to a little boy's room after the TARDIS intercepts a psychic house call summons. Once there, they discover the boy is actually an alien who needs acceptance, and transfers his fears into a dollhouse in his closet. The episode itself doesn't delve much deeper than that, but showcases some terrific costumes and a nifty horror-esque story.

I really liked the costume work on those dolls. Especially once someone gets converted into a doll, it was quite creepy. And singing little kid's voices are always good for the tone. Especially when they mention the doctor's death. That little computer screen with the doctor's death is like the crack in the wall last series.

I thought the bit with the father protecting the son was a bit too much drama. And the old lady was annoying. Overall, a decent episode, with good costumes and tone, but likely the weakest episode of the series thus far. Like last year's "The Lodger."
