User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Reference Desk/@comment-188432-20130505035914/@comment-26975268-20130505041128 If I may interject, the humans that named it 'the Crimson Horror' could not possibly have known about the leech, nor its venom. The name referred to the phenomenon itself in which people were found dead, red and all the rest. The Doctor's "I preferred 'the Crimson Horror'" is simply a reference to how much cooler and more mysterious it sounds than 'red leech', which sounds boring and deadly.

Could you perhaps list the instances in which you think the script's referring to the leech or the venom as the Crimson Horror?

Also, Crimson Horror should probably be the page for the phenomenon (we usually leave out the "the" in articles), and the Crimson Horror should remain a redirect to the episode, with a {{you may}} at the top. Still, open to others' opinions.
