Freaky Stories

To watch this show, one needs to appreciate the theory that forms the basis for its storytelling conceit. Forming the basis of the thesis I am currently working on at Fretwell Tech U., I have grown to marvel at the intense allegorical sinews that support the five minutes of short storytelling.

The show begins and ends, for example, the same way each time. This repetition serves to reflect the banality of the post-modern soul, while at the same time reflecting its kineticism, through dynamic visual juxtapositions: colour and light fuse with motion to render the viewer helplessly enamoured with the final product.

Zeugma, asyndeton and anaphora are used to elucidate the complexity of the 90s soul. Consciousness is explored, and yet never fully realized - the viewer gets to experience the orgasmic reality of a perpetual silence.

I once wrote on my hand "Freaky Stories" to remember to watch it.

I enjoyed Freaky Stories in the lead up to the Millenium. I got hooked on Jan Harold Brunvand's urban legend books, so Freaky Stories fit the bill and introduced urban legends to a new audience of youngsters.

Maybe Freaky Stories can be rebooted please to cover the urban legends that snopes covers.

Freaking stories is a classic scary or freaky show about events that happened to friends of a friend of mine. It tell stories through narration, animation and very minimal voice work not including the maggot and the cockroach segments.

This show was a great addition to TYV late nights back during television's golden age. Freaky Stories was a witty, full of twists and freaky show. It has very innocent content for the children viewers. They have an episode about a serial killer but they were very indirect about it without showing any blood or violence.

My favourite episode was the future Robot police one, it was so freaky.

Verdict: From Goosbumps, to Dark to Freaky. Freaky Stories is a classic YTV gold.
