Another entertaining ride. And as a fan of the original The Haunting movie, the scene with the "holding hands" alone made this worth watching.
I havent seen that many Doctor Who yet but I found that most of the supposedly "scary" episodes turn out to be rather heartfelt (Empty Child and Doctor Dances, Beast Below, Night Terrors). Sometimes sad but not really scary, which I kind of dug. Im weird like this but I dont really watch Doctor Who particularly for the space adventures and aliens (crazy I know), I personally enjoy it best when it is more emotional and tugs at the heartstrings.
Not that there werent any genuinely ****-in-my-pants scary moments or episodes ofc.
PS. That face that Clara made when the Doctor invited her to explore the mansion was just so.....
