Doctor Who - Whispers in the Attic Room

A few weeks ago it was announced on this blog that Blink would be making an exclusive Doctor Who story entitled ‘Whispers in the Attic Room’ for Halloween.

The original plan was for the story to be presented as a script, however it will now be shown as a short film, so the scary moments really will make you jump!

The story is shown through the point of view of a camcorder, similar to the style of the ‘Paranormal Activity’ films, and sees the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond investigate a mysterious force at Widow’s Hall.

‘Whispers in the Attic Room’ will be available on this blog on 31st October 2010 from 6:00pm
