Cheesy, but I suppose you just had to be the right age for it

[7/10 · 19 July 2019]

At the age of twelve I was just the right age for this show when it initially came out to really get sucked into it. I thought a lot of the jokes were kind of corny and a lot of the effects were really played down, but what can you expect from a 2000s Disney show? The plot as a kid was entertaining and the show was a lot of fun to watch and a lot of lighthearted humor in there. If you know someone between the ages of eight and thirteen this would be a great show for them to get into, but good luck finding it as a full collection of episodes never got a home release and only a small collection of episodes actually came out on Disney compilation DVDs. My only issue with the show has to be with how open-ended they left the series finale and how they tried to cram so much plot into that one final episode to try and appease fans.

Cheesy, but worth the watch

The image quality might be bad enough and the special effects cheesy enough for a show in the early 2000s to get canceled, but it was a rather fun and enjoyable with a lot of that classic horror film charm and a humorous edge. It's like the show was intentionally made cheesy to pay homage to the multitude of classic horror film series that spawned it and an incredibly humorous edge. This show died way too soon and there isn't even an English release of the episodes anywhere so good luck finding this hidden gem. I do believe that YouTube does have the show in a greatly reduced quality and about half of the episodes missing.
