Things take a SPOOKY turn for Luca McIntyre (played by Ross McLaren), Emma Reid (Dido Miles) and Sid Vere (Ashley Rice) on today's Halloween themed episode of Doctors! (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

At The Mill, Luca, Emma and Sid are all intrigued by a collection of short stories called The Blood Rooms.

A trilogy of tales then begins, with Luca, Emma and Sid each facing a scary encounter with things that go bump in the night!

First up, Luca is invited to a dinner party at a sinister looking house.

His host, Albie Swinton (Hugh Stubbins), shows Luca around but warns him NOT to look in the kitchen fridge!

Luca starts to sense all is not right when he enters a room covered in plastic sheeting.

Then Albie starts to talk about a strange ritual!

Could it be that Luca is on the menu for tonight's DEADLY dinner party?
