not been able to watch yet dh 58 too scared, can't wait till he goes to bed know I'll be terrified.

Tiggles · 29/09/2012 22:46

Phew! I thought I was the only person who cried at Dr Who Grin, wipes sweat from brow in relief.
YANBU the weeping angels are by far the scariest and best alien at the moment.

AlwaysHoldingOnToStarbug · 29/09/2012 22:48

They are scary. My 8 year olds are terrified of them, which is great - just as Doctor Who should be! I've told them they'll remember it fondly when they are older!

The Doctor Who experience is brilliant, we saw it in London. They were frozen with fear and screamed their way through it, then asked to go back again! The 3D bit was amazing.

Weeping Angel babies. Proper shit scary Shock. Do Weeping Angels have babies Confused. I thought they were supposed to be the loneliest creatures in the universe Hmm.

Wanted to have alittle cry at the end. Oh dear I am 46 Sad

46 and terrified. DS wouldn't hold my hand but did agree to lean on me. He even managed not to mock my tears at the end.

PurpleCrazyHorse · 29/09/2012 23:10

Me too, could only watch with DH and had to keep looking away.

PurpleCrazyHorse · 29/09/2012 23:10

Although looking away clearly isn't the right response to a weeping angel

PigeonPie · 29/09/2012 23:12

I watched it over the top of my laptop - I've decided this is the safest way to watch Dr Who!

ExitPursuedByJKR · 29/09/2012 23:14

DD is in my bed. Again.

Leena49 · 30/09/2012 06:07

I won't let dd 7 watch it. Brilliant horror stuff but not suitable for small kids.

Megatron · 30/09/2012 06:15

I'm too scared to watch Dr Who since the trauma of 'The Doll' in about 1974. I have just googled Weeping Angels and they look fucking terrifying, I want to watch but I'm too scared!

Oh, I'm very sleepy today, I had a weeping angel nightmare and then wasn't brave enough couldn't get back to sleep. Sad

However, I thought in the orginal one, Dr Who defeated them by making htem look at each other so they are frozen as statues, not able to move or do anything - in this episode there were several times when the angels were able to see each other's faces and yet when the people looked away they could still move, surely they were then completely scuppered and would need another angel to come along and move them in a different location/for the lights to go out so they couldn't see each other? [overthinking]

RowgtfcGOLD72 · 30/09/2012 08:32

Im 41 and not a great fan of the weeping angels either ! My nemesis are the Cybermen, thy have always freaked me out . The dolls in the dolls house were scary too, they reminded me of the faceless people in an episode of Sapphire and Steel I watched when I was little that terrified me for weeks .

LiegeAndLief · 30/09/2012 08:43

I'm also 33 and am fucking terrified of them. After watching "Blink" I made dh come up to the toilet with me (although in my defence that was a few years ago so I was much younger Wink).

It's such a genius idea.

whathaveiforgottentoday · 30/09/2012 08:46

42 and freaked out by them. I wouldn't let my dd watch it.

fedupofnamechanging · 30/09/2012 08:51

I spotted an angel statue on the roof of my town library the other day. In 24 years of living in/visiting this town I had never noticed it.

Now I am half completely convinced that it wasn't there before and the fucking thing has moved!

NellyBluth · 30/09/2012 09:08

Karma, that's brilliant!

I do remember after Blink, standing in the garden with my housemate have a cigarette and there was one of those little stone face statue thingies on the wall, and we were only half joking when we teased each other about keeping an eye on it...

Phew, not just me! Went to bed convinced I was going to dream about them. It was the smiling angel that got me. DH got cross with me because I was sobbing at the end. He was trying to work out how a man who had waited for 2000 years could be sent back and shut away by the angels, that was meant to comfort me.

By the way, I do remember watching an episode of the Sarah Jane adventures on CBBC in a haunted house which was just as creepy, so CBBC is not much better!

Mrsjay · 30/09/2012 09:41

41 here and they terrify me those angel babies were right creepy . I have been to the exhibition when it was in glasgow and they had 1 lurking I let out a little screechy noise when i saw them
