10 Doctor Who Episodes To Watch For Halloween 2022

Remember that childhood fear we all had (or maybe still have) that something is hiding under the bed, waiting to grab you at a moment's notice? Well, it turns out that the Doctor also had that exact same fear, and so decided to track down the creature responsible, which possessed the ability to hide from everyone in the universe.

As the Doctor saves Clara from a disastrous dinner date with Danny Pink, the two attempt to track down this elusive monster. In one of many spine-tingling scenes in the episode, we see the mysterious creature rise from the bed with a blanket covering itself, and the Doctor confesses to Clara that he is paralysed with fear.

The Doctor then journeys to a space station at the end of the universe, where he believes the creature is hiding. Hearing banging outside, the Doctor opens the door... only for the suction to knock him out before he can learn what the creature truly is.

In the end, we find out the reason for the Doctor’s obsession with finding the monster: it had grabbed him when he was a kid. In a strangely uplifting twist, we then learn that his monster was Clara, meaning that she was responsible for his fear from the very beginning.
