Doctor in the Mirror

It’s time to draw the curtains, turn out the lights, and prepare to be scared, as this year’s collection of terrifying tales set in the darker corners of the Doctor Who universe is available now. 

 Halloween - Doctor, Doctor, Doctor and Other Stories is a box set of four full-cast audio episodes, each with a horror theme. The title story stars Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, who’s trapped in a mirror – but is this really the Doctor, or something much worse using his image? 

In the following three stories, the Third Doctor (Tim Treloar) and Jo Jones (Katy Manning) encounter witch hunts and a Krynoid in the sixteenth century, something lurks in the shadows of a UNIT call centre, and the Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison) and Nyssa (Sarah Sutton) visit a haunted hospital. 

Doctor Who: Halloween - Doctor, Doctor, Doctor and Other Stories is now available to purchase for just £24.99 (download to own) or £35.99 (download to own + collector’s edition CD) each, exclusively here. Please note: the collector’s edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,500 copies and will not be re-pressed. 

The four frightful full-cast stories are: 

Stewart Pringle, one of the writers of the box set’s title story, said: “When we were set the challenge of writing a horror-inspired Doctor Who, we thought back to some of our favourite classic horror stories, including The Gatecrasher by Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes, in which a man comes into possession of a mirror containing an entity which drives him to murder. 

“It’s a classic horror trope, and we thought, what’s the Doctor Who version of that? We thought about the game in schools where you say ‘Bloody Mary’ three times in the mirror and this thing pops up, but maybe a cooler version is if, when you say that three times, the Doctor appears – and what if it’s a monstrous version of the Doctor?”

Georgia Cook, co-writer of Office Space, added: “UNIT are now this huge corporation with a skyscraper in central London, and there must be parts that we haven’t seen, more civilian-driven aspects of it. We really liked the idea of writing something for a group of people stuck in the Doctor Who universe without the help of the Doctor. Which, with all of the monsters and aliens and threats, can be a bit of a horror scenario.” 

This box set will be followed in December by a second set of holiday-themed specials, Doctor Who: Christmas - Out of the Dark and Other Stories. The 2026 Halloween and Christmas box sets can be pre-ordered together in a multi-buy bundle, for just £48 (download to own) or £68 (download to own + collector’s edition CD). 

All the above prices (including pre-order and multibuy bundle discounts) are fixed for a limited time only and guaranteed no later than 31 December 2026.
