Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • In Episode 7, right after the children go into a pitch black room, there is a jump scare with perhaps the most frightening monster of the whole series.
  • In Chapter Two, the residents of Potsfield are humans with carved jack-o-lantern heads that may be spooky. There is also a short scene of animated skeletons crawling from a grave.
  • In Chapter Seven, Auntie Whispers is a frightening figure with distorted and grotesque features. The two main characters are threatened by a spirit with a scary face, who threatens to eat them.
  • In Chapter Eight, the two main characters are in danger of freezing to death. This is portrayed in a rather realistic way.
  • In Chapter Nine, two children are shown drowning. Their fates are unresolved until the next chapter. where all ends well.
  • In Chapter Ten, when the woodsman flashes a lantern on the main antagonist of the series, we see a split second of his appearance. A very creepy, wood-like man with holes and deformed faces on the torso area. Again, for a split second, most people wouldn't get a good look unless they paused the scene.
