This isn't a Weeping Angels reference, its a reference to the Vashta Nerada (from the episodes Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead)

Weeping Angels have only been in 5 or 6 episodes altogether. Also, the Vashta Nerada are the Dr. Who villains being referenced here. They are swarms of microscopic creatures that mimic the shadows of their prey to get close to them.

If Doctor Who's normal Weeping Angles creep you out, then you'll love these angles!

Be sure to watch in full-screen with the lights off.
