Production[]
According to his Twitter, R.L. Stine says the show is similar to his previous series Goosebumps and that the show would be filmed in Vancouver, Canada. Filming for season 2 begins on the week of June 13, 2011 with a two part season 2 opener. Season 2 will premiere in fall 2011.
Premise[]
Like the TV series Goosebumps, every episode features a different cast in a scary situation. However, the storylines are much darker than its aforementioned predecessor, and some episodes serve as very dark morality tales. For example, in the episode "The Red Dress" the main character steals a dress from a blind witch, and as a result of her selfishness loses her sight.
