Netflix Pick of the Week: Creeped Out

horror netflix creeped out

Creeped Out is an original drama anthology series that combines sci-fi, horror, adventure, suspense, fantasy and mystery. Each story is introduced by “The Curious,” a mysterious, masked story collector who appears at the beginning and end of each episode.

The series reminds me a lot of Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark with moral centers reminiscent of Asop's Fables . Each episode is based around some sort of damaged moral, such as bullying or theft, and spins a tale around what could happen if the wrongs aren't put right. Changing every episode, some feel more horror orientated whilst others definitely lean towards fantasy or science fiction. I feel like this is a Creepypasta for kids anthology, a lot of fun to watch and sort out where the stories are leading. Acting isn't top notch, definitely more like Goosebumps in that effect, but it's not intolerable and since the plots were so engaging I didn't care one bit. I highly suggest this to those prone to the weird and eerie stories you might hear around a campfire.
