This was can't miss TV for me as a child. I would look forward to watching this show on SNICK every week. I remember being genuinely scared at times, and my parents would even watch with me and apparently also garnered some enjoyment out of the episodes. Sure it had it's campy and cheesy moments(what early 90's shows didn't?), but some of the performances by the young actors in this series were pretty decent. Many stories were based on common horror lore and myth, but some of the others were pretty original and clever as well.
Recently I have started watching this show again on Amazon Prime instant video. I expected it to be horribly campy and unwatchable now as an adult, the warm nostalgic memories being the only reason I'd watch a few episodes and be done with it... but to my surprise I was still entertained, and dare I say it... slightly spooked. Unlike the TV version of Goosebumps (completely unwatchable as an adult))this still holds up pretty well to this day. I wouldn't recommend this to any adult who doesn't already have the fond memories of the original run, as it would make for a pretty rough watch. I would however, recommend anyone with children looking to have some light, spooky, family fun to give this show a shot.
