In his signature style, Steven Moffatt enjoys uncovering monsters hidden within the ordinary in Doctor Who. From statues to shadows, lost children to silence, he has transformed everyday elements into some of the show’s most chilling adversaries. In the 2024 Christmas Special titled “Joy to the World,” Moffatt delves into the enigma of an additional door often found in older hotel rooms.
