"I see
The Nightmare Room as a fun house.
You step inside thisplace, and everything
seems normal at first. And then you look
and you see thefloor is tilted. And then
it looks like the walls are closing in on
you...you're not in your old reality".
--R. L. Stine
Kids
love to be scared as much as they love Saturday
mornings. And nobody does itbetter than
R. L. Stine.
This new live-action series (the first ever
for Kids' WB!) will take viewers to a world
beyond reality... where nightmares just
might be real. A world where ordinary eyeglasses
reveal the masks people hide behind, lies
come true with eerie results and a school
locker with the #13 brings the worst luck
of all.Based on R.L. Stine's hit book series
published by Parachute/Avon Books, and adding
new stories written just for Kids' WB!,The
Nightmare Room is guaranteed to keep
kids creeped-out to their heart's content.
Each episode will be a stand-alone story
with its own cast (including big-name guest
stars), taking viewers into an alternate
reality where ordinary occurrences can suddenly
turn into the most extraordinary, scary
experiences.
The Nightmare Room builds on R.L.
Stine's reputation as "the Stephen King
for kids" and the master of "safe scares."This
series is a powerful double-whammy, featuring
Stine's talent with a strong cross-promotion
from his books.Produced by superstar team
Tollin/Robbins ("All That," "Kenan
& Kel," "The Amanda Show," "CousinSkeeter")
in association with Warner Bros. Television,
it promises to raise a lotta hair on Saturday
mornings.
