R. L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series is a Canadian-American original anthology horror-fantasy television series which is based on the 2007 movie R.L Stine's The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It and the anthologies The Haunting Hour and Nightmare Hour by R.L. Stine, that originally aired on The Hub from October 29, 2010 to October 11, 2014. The only story taken from The Haunting Hour anthology was My Imaginary Friend, and the only story unused from The Nightmare Hour was My Sister the Witch. The fourth season's seven remaining episodes ran on Discovery Family from October 18, 2014 to November 29, 2014. The series was produced by Front Street Pictures, The Hatchery, Incendo Films, and Endemol.
On July 9, 2012, it was announced that R. L. Stine's The Haunting Hour was one of four original series from The Hub that won the CINE Golden Eagle Award for high quality production and storytelling.
On December 8, 2014, it was confirmed by R. L. Stine via Twitter that Discovery Family cancelled the show after its run of four seasons.
Prior to the broadcast of the series, series creator R. L. Stine reported via Twitter saying The Haunting Hour was similar to his previous series Goosebumps. The series is filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Like Goosebumps and The Nightmare Room, every episode features a different cast in a scary situation that would involve ghosts, aliens, witches, zombies, and monsters. However, the storylines are much darker than its aforementioned predecessor and some episodes serve as very dark morality tales. There are some episodes that have happy endings similar to most of the episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark? which had this formula.
