I mean, we do our funny episodes. We do our serious episodes, the off world episodes, the ship based episode. I just realized that we\u2019ve never really done a horror episode.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whispers&#8221; isn&#8217;t just another horror story, though; it is wrapped in <em>Stargate Atlantis<\/em> mythology as Sheppard, Beckett, and <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=1256\">an all-female off-world team<\/a> explore a lab that <a href=\"\/wiki\/Michael_Kenmore\">Michael<\/a> has left behind. This lab is full of Michael&#8217;s early research into his human-iratus hybrids &#8230; and the hybrids themselves held in stasis&mdash;that is, until someone lets them loose &#8230; in the abandoned village &#8230; in the fog&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a fan of horror, Mallozzi continued, &#8220;personally, I always find that what\u2019s scarier is what you don\u2019t see as opposed to what you do see. And so that\u2019s kind of what we were playing with&mdash;kind of the hidden. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We use a lot of fog elements in this particular episode so there\u2019s a lot of figures in the fog and there\u2019s a lot of&mdash;I like to call them sort of pure, kind of like jump sequences where it&#8217;s sort of classic horror movie style&mdash;something jumps out at you and I think there are like a good dozen of those instances in this particular episode and Will Waring, our director, does a terrific job. And from what I\u2019ve seen of the director\u2019s cut, it\u2019s going to be a lot of fun. And I think horror fans actually will enjoy it as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tune in tonight at 10pm on the Sci Fi Channel &#8230; and make sure you&#8217;ve got your buddy watching your six!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preview Videos &#8211; Beware of Spoilers! &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/stargate.mgm.com\/video.php?id=150\">MGM: Whispers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/video.scifi.com\/player\/?id=526441\">Sci Fi: Whispers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Solutions Coverage &#8211; <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/wiki\/SGA_5.07_%22Whispers%22_Episode_Guide\">Episode Guide (spoilers)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/forum\/index.php?topic=787.0\">On-Site Forum Poll and Discussion Thread<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/community.livejournal.com\/sg1_solutions\/92658.html\">Live Journal<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>[Image from MGM Official Stargate website.]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve always been a big fan of horror,&#8221; executive producer and writer Joseph Mallozzi said in a phone interview about his script and tonight&#8217;s episode, &#8220;Whispers&#8221;, &#8220;and one of the great things about Stargate is that we can do such a variety of different types of stories.
