  THIS SHOW WAS SCARY HAHA hide « show »

  I was born in 1996, so I was a youngster when I watched this show all the time lol it scared me a lot so I didnt really like it that much. But looking back I really like it now because when I was older I watched re runs and stuff. That one episode where she goes to the cabin and that girl had like red eyes ahh that episode still makes me shiver just thinking about it. What's weird is I was scared of that but yet I love horror movies. I think this show got my career started in watching horror movies lmfao

  Good show for kids. hide « show »

  Are you afraid of the dark? I remember me and my friends always gathered at my house to watch it everyday, it was our daily ritual. Although we were all, I don't know 12 maybe, we were quite scared to watch it but somehow the plot and the story kept us in front of the television set. The episodes were written very good for a kids show, very dramatic and not every episode had a happy ending so you do not know what to expect each episode. I think it is a must watch for every horror/thriller fan, even if it is just a kids show.

  This is a fantastic show back in the 1990's! I remember the one episode that scared me was The Tale of Badge.It was scary when he jumped out of the with those beaming yellow and that ripped clothing.And the music really scared me to.Then Gwen went in Badge's swamp, and there was all those skelitons hanging.That episode gave me nightmare's a few times when I was around five or six years old.Any how this show was really great and fantastic and it gave me goosebumps.And someday I hope they will the series back on T.V.And I hope people will like my review.

  Canadian shows made me a better person hide « show »

  Wow, this show was so popular in my times. I couldn't believe the stuff I saw when watching it. It was a mature yet PG rated show. No one in my family watches it. The first episode told me what kind of show it was, it was a freaky scary show that I admired and grew up watching. I still do now a few years later. The show got cancelled and haven't watched all the episodes or even have the dvd package of them. I guess Canada has finally pulled a great show that everyone can relate to. It rocks.
