Creeped Out

Creeped Out puts a chill into short, self-contained stories aimed at older kids and teens, using one eerie conceit to hold everything together. A masked figure called "The Curious" appears as a collector and narrator, presenting episodes about ordinary youngsters who run into strange tech, uncanny forces or unsettling magic. Each installment plays out like a modern fable, with tense atmosphere, twisty beats and endings that leave questions hanging rather than tying everything up. The tone stays spooky without being gratuitous, and writers favor mood, uneasy logic and moral jitters over graphic scares.

Created by Robert Butler and Bede Blake, the series premiered in 2017. Aurora Aksnes supplies the narrator's voice for the masked "Curious", and the show mixes sci-fi, fantasy and mystery elements in an anthology format for a younger audience.

Creeped Out didn't win major industry awards, but it earned steady praise from its target viewers and genre fans. It received strong user appreciation for its episodes' economy and tone, helping the show maintain a loyal audience across its run and on streaming platforms where short-form horror finds a ready market.

The show's framing device, a silent masked collector with a detached curiosity, became its most recognizable image. That hook, plus the short-episode structure, made individual segments easy to clip and share online, and helped the series surface in conversations about kid-friendly horror. Teachers, parents and fan communities have pointed to particular installments as good introductions to spooky storytelling for younger viewers.

Critics and audiences highlighted the series' focus on consequences, curiosity and the dangers of meddling with unknown forces or runaway gadgets. Viewers gave it a 7.188/10 based on 125 votes, reflecting generally favorable reactions to the writing, atmosphere and production design. Episodes vary in quality, but the consistent themes and strong central framing keep the show engaging for anyone who likes eerie, idea-driven short stories.
