R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour: The Series
R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour: The Series previewed in October 2010 on The Hub. The live-action anthology series ran for four seasons and 76 half-hour episodes.
About The Show
Author R.L. Stine is known for his creepy novels for young adults, especially the “Goosebumps” and “Fear Street” collections. Like those books, this anthology series presents bone-chilling flights of fancy and dark morality tales for older kids unafraid of a good-old-fashioned scare. Despite the show’s title, the spooky stories are only 30 minutes each, and are designed to produce shivers, but not nightmares. That being said, the sinister characters and frightening scenes may make even the most toilet-trained of tiny tots wet their pants, so please keep them in another room. [via Gracenote]
Each episode featured at least one notable guest star, who was popular at the time in movies and TV series, including Bailee Madison, Debby Ryan, Madison Pettis, Ariel Winter, Dylan Minnette, Joel Courtney, Nolan Gould, Rico Rodriguez, Gregg Sulkin, Zachary Gordon, Booboo Stewart, Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Calum Worthy, Joey King, Vincent Martella, Frankie Jonas, Brendan Meyer, Matthew Knight, Jackson Pace, Sean Giambrone, and China Anne McClain. Some notable adult actors include Christopher Lloyd, David DeLuise, and Tom Kenny. The show was produced in Canada, and thus featured a number of actors popular on Canadian-produced programs.
