Something wicked this way comes…
CBBC has an absolute treat in store for geeks of all ages. Starting next week on Halloween, Creeped Out is a thirteen-episode anthology of original eerie stories. Prepare to meet sinister puppets, ‘harmless’ old ladies, technology that takes a hold on your life, mysterious basement portals, and more.
Creeped Out was created by Bede Blake and Robert Butler for CBBC and DHX in Canada. Their plan was to make an Amazing Stories for young audiences today, with all the memorable storytelling, imagery and characters of The Twilight Zone. To judge by the episodes we’ve seen: job very much done.
Think Dramarama, Round The Twist, Are You Afraid Of The Dark? and every eerie, imaginative childhood show that made its mark on you growing up. Oh, and look out for nerdy references and nods to some old geeky favourites too.
Here’s a preview of what to expect. Prepare to meet The Curious…
The first episode of Creeped Out, Slapstick, airs on CBBC at 7pm on Tuesday the 31st of October.
