"Superb"

By Ting13, Jul 03, 2006

My grandparents had this episode of \"Fraggle Rock\" on tape when I was little. I remember that it used to scare me silly, especially the song sung by the story teller. I found the tape with this episode on by accident a few days ago and watched it. I\'m an adult now, but it still creeps me out a little bit.

For a children\'s show it\'s rather dark and scary, but it works great. Children need to be a little scared every now and then, and this is a great episode. The songs are really great, the tension is wonderful and it tells of a scary story which ends really well.

A must-see for all fans of Fraggle Rock.

  EDIT SHARE
- When this episode aired, it originally had an alternate opening theme, with Wembley whispering "Down at Fraggle Rock!" instead of Boober. In the First Season DVD release, Wembley's version was replaced with Boober. However, Wembley's opening still exists in the promotion for the episode, which was seen in the Third Season DVD Release bonus features.
