The Midnight Club (2022)
Because I am a Christopher Pike Fan
If you aren't familiar with Christopher Pike books, this won't be a hit for you. It's unfortunate that they tried to make it a teen horror, as Pike's books aren't scary. I'm not upset with the changes to The Midnight Club book, as there is no way they could have made a series from that. Again nothing scary. It was a book about dying teens who told each other stories at midnight. There was no over arching mystery involved. So the parts about the symbol and the patient who was cured are all new for this series.
What I do like about this is that there have been no good film adaptations of Pike's books. At least here were get snippets in the short stories the characters tell.
If you are looking for something more along the lines of Hill House or Midnight Mass, this isn't it. This is more like a more mature version of Are You Afraid of the Dark. For me, that's not a bad thing.
Halloween Wars (2011)
Season 12
So Food Network listened and brought back pumpkin carvers, and sugar artists. So that was a huge plus. I'm still not loving the format, and I do miss the bigger scenes that they used to do. They are still doing cake tasting ( in the first episodes so far) instead of different types of tasting elements. It's not a make or break it for me, but previous seasons they were able to show more creativity with the tasting.
I might have rated this slightly higher but I really do not like, or enjoy the Zak Bagans inclusions. I do not think that they add anything to the show. They aren't scary and are rather annoying in my opinion.
