Spooksville

I admit it, I'm a total Spooksville fan girl. I've never read the books but I saw it on Netflix and decided to give it a go. I watched the whole series in like 3 days (safe to say I loved it).

Sure, if I could have directed the series I would have made a few changes because sporadically there's a scene that's cringe-worthy. But I mean for a kids show it is incredibly good.

I love the intro - a clear reference to Buffy the Vamp Slayer (yasss)! Adam and Watch, the two main characters are bound to make you a pedophile from their utter adorableness and their friend Sally is really sassy and hilarious.

The show is really witty with it's wordplay and incorporates lots of science fiction and fantasy elements, both of which I love. The story line (while sometimes drags) is really actually quite good. Sometimes they won't resolve something until 8 episodes later, which I liked and hated because I WANTED to know what the clue meant. But it gave real depth to the story.

I am so sad this series ended because I am dying to know what happens next in the story. I pray every night that enough people will watch on Netflix and a film will be made to finish the story before all the actors get too old. :p

Hi. I'm, out of doubt, the only french guy who following the Spooksville TV series (sorry for my bad English). When I was 12 years old, I loved Pike's books... I was a big fan of horror books, like that Goosebumps or Spooksville... Now, I prefer King of course, but this novels have marked my teenage. So, when I discovered that a series on the Spooksville's theme existed, I watched the first episode, and the second, the third... and all the season 1 ! I'm pleasantly surprised by this TV series ! The actors are good, the ambiance is faithful, the action takes place during our days (it's a good thing, it "refreshes" the series), we have a great suspense...

The only flaw is that, sometimes, the special effects are a little low... But the main "flaw" (it's not really a flaw, it's me, in fact^^) is that the stories are, sometimes, for little children's. It's normal, I'm an old fan, I'm 18. And, often, stories are entirely appreciable by an adult ! ;)

No, the only, the most important, the REAL flaw of Spooksville is... no VOSTFR ! It's a good series ! In France, we have lot of crap at TV, Spooksville is good, give to us Spooksville ! :) I'm sure that there is a market and a place for Spooksville in France. The children's wants to dream, and Spooksville succeeds to do that...

One thing that is really common to hear on the internet, is people and especially people from my millennial generation who talk about how kids shows aren't as good as they used to be. Like kids shows were the best in the '90s. Even kids from today seem to prefer the shows we grew up with than the shows that they are growing up with. I agree, that most kids shows are not as good as they were in the '90s. However, as an adult I really like this TV show and think it's a great show for kids nowadays. In comparison to other TV shows: Are You Afraid Of The Dark, Goosebumps, and Haunting Hour. I prefer this TV show over those TV shows. Here are some reasons. For one, I never watched Are You Afraid Of The Dark as a kid. I've seen episodes as an adult. I did watch Goosebumps, but not that often as a kid. I have been watching Haunting Hour, but I've noticed some of the Haunting Hour episodes aren't that entertaining. One thing I like better about Spooksville than these other TV shows, are how it has 3 main characters on each episode: Adam, Sally, and Watch. Whereas, Goosebumps and Haunting Hour had different characters in each episode that were often times ordinary people. Characters we didn't get to know that well outside of that episode, they aren't always that good at acting, and we always wonder what would happen next as about each episode ends with some suspense. I think it's better to get to know the characters rather than have different characters in each episode. Also, there's more action in Spooksville than there is in Haunting Hour or Goosebumps. As most of the episodes in the later two seem to deal with kids experiencing some spooky activity that they aren't too sure what to think. But, usually we don't see the characters facing off with a bad guy with their own strength like they do in Spooksville. I'd also say there's more of a plot in Spooksville, and it isn't as dark as either of those two R.L. Stine shows. So, yeah I can't wait until Season 2 when it starts. I think this show is the perfect kids show for today and definitely needs more viewers. I'm sure if people shared this show to lots of kids that don't know about it, a lot of the kids that watch it would enjoy it and this show would have a huge increase in viewers. Thanks for reading, if you read all this.

Best kids show since so weird and house of anubis. I have written a lot plot lines of the books on Spooksville and the show. Plus I added stuff.

Spooksville is a great TV show. Like the series Goosebumps, Spooksville had us on the edge of our seats. This is the perfect show for the whole family to watch together. We kept saying out loud, "what's going to happen next?" My kids had such a fun time guessing what was going to happen next - like they were writing the show themselves! The stories are full of suspense and tension. Each episode is so well written and directed. The cast works together as a true ensemble. Great acting from each member of the cast. Perfect locations that match with the story. My only problem is wondering if there will be more episodes to come in the future!
