The Nightmare Room

The Nightmare Room

R.L. Stine (12 episodes, 2001-2002)

For every story directly based on an R.L. Stine book (not "Tangled Web" or "Four Eyes" which were inspired by certain ideas in "Liar Liar" and "Visitors", respectively, nor "Scareful What You Wish for" nor "School Spirit", though the latter did share characters with "Full Moon Halloween", which was book-based), at least one character, usually a supporting character such as a friend but occasionally a protagonist, had a name and gender switch. Most notably the three main characters in "My Name is Evil" had initials that matched their book counterparts, but changed from girls to boys (the best friends dropping from triplets to a pair of friends who were probably not related).

The only live-action show to air on the Warner Brothers program "Kids' TV" and its link with the Cartoon Network one Toonami.

Some of the hastily-viewed items featured in the opening include (in this order): a clown-masked robber from "Tangled Web", a funhouse dummy from "My Name is Evil", the werewolf from "Full Moon Halloween", the moon that was the ending shot in "Four Eyes", the exploding crystal ball from "My Name is Evil", the document from "Fear Games", the coin from "Don't Forget Me", Buddy's head from "Scareful What You Wish For", the diary from "Dear Diary, I'm Dead", the Fatemaster's Lucky Charm box from "Locker 13", and the trophy from "School Spirit".
