The premise
The Nightmare Room is an American children's anthology horror series that aired on Kids' WB. The series was based on the short-lived book series The Nightmare Room children's books created by Goosebumps author, R.L. Stine. The Nightmare Room originally aired from August 31, 2001, to March 16, 2002, in the United States. It was rated TV-Y7 for fantasy violence and scenes deemed too scary or disturbing for younger viewers in the United States. Reruns of the series started airing on Chiller on January 7, 2013.
Horror Vault's take
From the mind behind Goosebumps, R.L. Stine brings his knack for youth-targeted terror to the small screen in this anthology series that drops young protagonists into strange, surreal situations where nothing is quite what it seems. Each self-contained episode peels back the ordinary world to reveal something uncanny lurking underneath, blending supernatural dread with the everyday fears of growing up. Hosted with gravitas, the show carries a distinctly unsettling tone that pushes right up against the boundaries of children's television. Fans of classic spooky anthology formats will find a familiar but effectively creepy rhythm in its storytelling.
