![Weeping Angels Voted the Scariest Ever Doctor Who Monster
According to the BBC Doctor Who Blog:
Three weeks ago we provided a list of the Doctor’s most frightening foes and your votes established that the Weeping Angels, the Vashta Nerada and the Silence were top in the scary stakes with the Daleks gliding into fourth place.
The following week we ran a straight poll where the vote was exclusively between the top three monsters. The Vashta Nerada took an early lead but then the Lonely Assassins quickly left them for dust!
In the end, the Weeping Angels were your landslide winners with the Vashta Nerada in second place and the Silence fractionally behind them to claim third spot.
So, what is it that makes the Weeping Angels quite so scary?
Jacob told us, ‘The reason the Weeping Angels are so scary is because statues are a part of everyday life’ and Aoife agreed, saying ‘There are stone statues everywhere, and it’s so hard not to blink!’
Rain called them ‘deliciously creepy’, Tristan labelled them ‘absolutely bone chilling’ and Lauren declared ‘The Weeping Angels are one of the many reasons why Doctor Who is so great!’
But the final word goes to Liv who wrote, ‘The Weeping Angels are so scary due to the fact that they attack when you least expect it. One minute they’re lovely and angelic, the next they bare [their] fangs and killer claws. I can’t even look at a statue without considering if it’s an Angel, so I force myself not to blink… NO ONE IS SAFE FROM THOSE WEEPING ANGELS!!!’](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6lnf924F31qijoeyo1_500.jpg)

Reblogging mostly because of the source post: a Tumblr that describes itself as “a short collection of Angel art”
Steven: “I don’t think the American fans care if we set the show in America — it’s not like they’re starved of shows set in America. It’s just a different backdrop for the story and something about Weeping Angels in New York seems to make sense to me.”

Doctor Who Convention, Cardiff, 24th March 2012.

No, these weeping angels aren’t convention staff. They’re awesome cosplayers.
I can’t believe that these were people cosplaying, for ages I thought they had been planted by the convention people because they were that well made!
Did someone already do this?
I’m sorry, can’t help it.
