R. L. Stine's The Haunting Hour (Seasons 1–4)

R. L. Stine's The Haunting Hour (2010) is a Canadian-American anthology horror series you can watch online on iFILM. Each half-hour episode tells a standalone story aimed squarely at the 10-to-14 crowd: cursed objects, creatures in the dark, neighbours who aren't quite neighbours, and the general sense that something is very wrong just below the surface.

The series draws on Stine's anthology books The Haunting Hour and Nightmare Hour, adapting his knack for escalating dread into short-form television. Different directors — including Peter DeLuise — helmed individual episodes, and the rotating cast across the run includes Bailey Madison and Jodelle Ferland.

It works the same way the books do: each story is self-contained, paced to land a twist, and calibrated to be genuinely unsettling without crossing into adult-horror territory. Adults who grew up reading Goosebumps will recognise the sensibility immediately. Stream The Haunting Hour online on iFILM.
