"Terry Carnation is a brilliant host, and has some real laugh out loud moments. The stories are all very diverse and it seems that the producers try not to have lots of similar stories cropping up in each episode, so they always feel fresh. Having Terry Carnation present each story, and adding his own little skits between really helps too. He’s like a less cadaverous (though no less humourous) version of the Cryptkeeper from Tales From The Crypt. My only problem with this show is whether some of these stories are actually true or not. I don’t think there’s a single story that hasn’t totally gripped me..."

"...creepy, true horror stories...If it sounds like a scary-story subreddit come to life, that’s kind of because it is. All in all, it’s a good faith operation in the name of telling spooky stories..."
