Story
Not sure of the exact origin of this show. I suspect it derives from old folk tales. Although none of them you except one or two of them you might not. The others are folk tales that you do know of like red riding hood but with a slight twist here and there.

The message of the show is not make you run under the covers but to educate you on danger. Think of it this way if something goes wrong from an action you take you tend not to it again. Like touching fire for too long. If you do you will be burned. Rather than learning these lessons first hand i applaud what we call horror films. For this is our free pass on life to learn these lessons. Sure it is not exactly first hand but it certainly can feel like it.

Ending was a real treat and a mystery. By ending i am referring to the drawing credits. You know the kind of trailer like setup that has bits and pieces here and there of the show? Without giving it away i would suggest paying particular close to the pictures. For i think they are an Easter egg for the future.

Art
Portrayed in a comic like fashion or a pop-up story book kind of fashion. While this story isn't exactly high in visual appearance it matches the mood perfectly. For again keep in mind the idea is to ease you into the message of danger horror is trying to teach you. So, don't be surprised if you run into still images or black and white situations. If that is bothersome to you i suggest watching some more episodes before giving up. For not all the episodes art is the same. Each episodes has a slight change or so.

Overall: While there was a moderate to little in terms of blood and gore this film was not only a fun watch but rare. Providing life learning lessons to along with haunting memories that you might not get anywhere else. For example, hitch hiking... what danger do you think lies in that? Some people might choose a side more than the other or others might be know-it-alls like my self and suggest it depends on the situation. While both are true to a point there is still room for other situations. In short knowing what you know might not help you with this show. In fact it might hurt you. Which is why i see it as fun. It proves that we humans while aware of danger act in dangerous fashion. Higher than what you would originally think.
