Скин ангела

Behind the scenes[]

The Brilliant Book 2011

The Brilliant Book 2011, a book that contains non-narrative based information this wiki does not consider a valid source, has put forward many unknown pieces of Angel history, including:

The Time Lords knew of the Weeping Angels and viewed them as nightmarish: an old manuscript on the Weeping Angels, written in High Gallifreyan, translated into «It’s behind you».

Doctor Who: Legacy

In the story of Doctor Who: Legacy, the Eleventh Doctor and his companions face the Weeping Angels in New York in 2012 while travelling back through the timeline.

Video games

• There are Weeping Angels in the Doctor Who level in LEGO Dimensions.
• In the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, an Easter egg was put it the multiplayer map Nuketown (stylized NUK3TOWN): shooting the arms of all the mannequins on the map in the first two minutes of the game will induce the mannequins to a «zombies»-style gameplay, however, the mannequins moves and attack when not seen by the players, and freezes when seen, a clear homage to the Weeping Angels.
• In the Blood and Wine downloadable content for The Witcher 3 video game, there are stone angels that also move when you look away in graveyards.

There’s an Easter egg of the Weeping Angels in Just Cause 3. An abandoned ruin on a hilltop features four statues ringed around an amphitheatre-like structure with a dead goat in the middle. If you approach the goat, the statues will close in on you, but only when they’re off-screen.

Other matters

• The collaborative fiction wiki known as the SCP Foundation was first conceptualized in part through a 4chan post in June 22, 2007, thirteen days after Blink‘s initial airing, about a Weeping Angel-esque creature known as SCP-173 otherwise known as «The Sculpture». This character would be used as the primary antagonist in the freeware horror survival game SCP: Containment Breach. Striking similarities include their appearance as a non-organic statue, their lack of mobility during eye contact with something else and the capability of moving around with surprisingly high speed, when looked away from. SCP-173 is also capable of snapping the neck of its victims, though this is more due to malice than as a method of communication. Connections between the Weeping Angels and SCP-173 were hotly debated until October 8th, 2018, when a Twitter user under the name Jason Scott uploaded the post along with several million more posts from 4chan’s /x/ board to the Internet Archive, confirming the closeness of the time of posting in relation to Blink’s release and making it extremely likely that the first SCP entry was inspired by the Weeping Angels.
• The Zeno paradox-like effect, proven in the article Measurement-Induced Localisation of an Ultracold Lattice Gas, showing that a particle is unable to move while it’s being observed, was referenced in Gizmodo Australia as the ‘Weeping Angel’ Effect.
• In 2017, BBC news mentioned the Weeping Angels in connection with the CIA hacking tool, «Weeping Angel».
• Weeping Angels named Chas and Chelsea appeared in Alien Babies!
