Your Nominations for the Spookiest Ever Story Revealed...

The Doctor Who Team

As we prepare for Hide, this Saturday’s spooky adventure set in a haunted house, we wanted to find out what you felt were the Doctor’s spookiest adventures to date…

We’re delighted to say you inundated us with suggestions and we’ve selected the top twelve adventures that were tweeted or emailed to us. You can now vote for your spookiest by visiting the homepage and casting your vote in the section to the lower right hand side of the page.

Stories from recent years dominated your suggestions with only one black and white adventure – The Web of Fear - making it through to this round. The Fourth Doctor has two stories in the mix (The Hand of Fear and Image of the Fendahl) and the Seventh Doctor’s haunting Ghost Light is there. All the other nominations came from the eras of the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors.

A full list of the nominated stories is below and you can click on any title to be reminded of the story, then cast your vote! On Friday we’ll whittle the list down to the top three so you can vote again for your all time spookiest!

Thanks again to everyone who contacted us with suggestions!
