R.L. Stine's the Haunting Hour

Though not every ep is a hit, it's overall a stronger series than Goosebumps.

I'll be clear here. . . I'm 24 years old, so I'm not exactly this show's target audience. However, I grew up with 'Are You Afraid of the Dark?,' 'Goosebumps,' 'Tales from the Crypt,' etc. Therefore, when I heard about this show, I thought I'd give it a shot. Even though R.L. Stine usually writes pretty standard fare, I've always enjoyed his work and still to this day have his entire original Goosebumps collection from my childhood.

My advice, if you're a fan of stuff like the shows I mentioned: Just check out the first story entitled "Really You." Technically it's two episodes, but it's really worth the time. As I'm already creeped out by dolls in general, this was really effective.

I'm not all the way through the series to date, but I'm still satisfied with what I have seen. Young or old, definitely check this out. There isn't enough good TV for kids these days, but this is something worthwhile.

I'd say that compared to Stine's previous show (Goosebumps), there's much more good episodes than bad.

As far as Children's Live-Action shows go, this is easily one of the best. Intelligent, fun, and occasionally creepy. Give it a shot.

Watching this show gives me goosebumps. No pun intended. Not gonna lie I'm biased to any horror movie/tv show being PG-13. In my opinion you can't really create scares or true terror on a rating like PG. That being said the most scared I have ever been in my life was watching goosebumps. Are you afraid of the dark. This show is right on those lines. Something genius about R. L Stine was his ability to tap into our minds and know our true fears. It's like he knew what every persons worst nightmare was and he was able to create it without blood and gore (Even though I love those movies the most). As a wanna be writer I will forever be inspired by R. L stine . Honestly he's one of the most creative geniuses out there and this inspired work of his is very well done.
