The Haunting Hour

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.

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

R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour is an starter anthology horror, Concerning anything from monsters to ghostly ice cream trucks.

The good thing about this show is that you never outgrow it. I mean it's got some creepy stuff and some suggested violence, which your basic 7-10 year old can except, but enough creepy and jumpy scenes to satisfy an adult. So far I haven't seen an episode I'd rate under 3 stars, so they are mostly satisfying and fun.

QUALITY: 9.5/10, Very good

I rented Volume 1 by chance at my local video store. And all I have to say is WOW. I love Goosebumps and Are you Afraid of the Dark but this show is even better. I can't believe it is not more popular! I blame at total lack of publicity. At least Goosebumps is on Netflix now. Maybe if it gets enough views someone will notice ;) I can't wait for new DVDS for this show. Hopefully they will come out soon! Right now only the first season is on DVD in three volumes. There are still two episodes missing from the 1st season that is still not on DVD. Also Channel 1 does not have any of the episodes currently posted. But it does have a movie that I have yet to watch.

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