![]() ![]() ![]() I would have preferred the show skip the “scary stories to tell in the dark” bits and just focused on the lore of the original hospice building, which seems a lot more interesting than anything we find in the stories themselves. Only two really stand out to me, the first story which Flanagan uses as a genuinely funny parody of horror jump scares, and then later, The Road to Nowhere, which is used as a tale to recount one teen’s suicide attempt, and that was genuinely moving. I understand what Flanagan is trying to do adapting a bunch of the different short horror stories, but I’d say practically none of them land for me, and many are broken up awkwardly into different parts across different episodes. Fundamentally I don’t really like the structure of this series.
