Frighteningly Different - The Frighteners review by TH
I have never seen this before. The stories are quite off the wall for a 30 minute program. A little comical to start in some, but then quite, quite unexpected endings, some that could be considered daring by todays standards of weirdness. Especially enjoyed the Disappearing man episode.
