Here’s some fun news for fans of horror shows or RL Stine specifically: The room of nightmares, the author’s children’s horror anthology series that wasn’t goosebumps, now streaming free on tubi.
First released on KidsWB! In 2001, during a single 13-episode season, the series featured childhood fears such as ghosts and monsters. Stylistically it was similar to The twilight zone with its opening and closing narration fresh prince James Avery, and its big claim to fame is that each episode stars child stars who would become famous, including Shia LeBeouf, Kaley Cuoco, and Brenda Song. It is also the first of only two live-action shows to air on KidsWB!, preceded by the sci-fi puppet series. The Lost Nebula Brats.
like fox goosebumps series, the nightmare room The show was based on a series of children’s books that Stine wrote, which concluded with a trilogy in 2001. In the decades since, we’ve seen new adaptations of goosebumps and fear streetso maybe it’s only a matter of time before a studio decides to try again Nightmare. Either way, it seems that the program has been lost in time—So if you need something new and scary to watch on Halloween, maybe give this one a chance.
