  • Pretty not too bad

    I enjoy the storytelling, and the sound effects are used really well....

    ....except for the stories that end with high pitched, ear bleeding sounds.

    Thankfully that's not used every time, so I'll give this show 4 stars!

Halloween Trunk or Treat Adventure
Q: What is trunk-or-treat, and how did the tradition begin?
The characters describe it as a church-parking-lot alternative to house-to-house trick-or-treating, associated with fears about Halloween, occult influences and contaminated candy.
Classic Creeps

She explains that Stream of Terror leverages live streaming of killings to comment on voyeurism and the desensitization of audiences, emphasizing the need for viewers to recognize the reality behind what they watch.
Classic Creeps
