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 Nightmare Hour was Make me a 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.
Unlike Stine's other shows, similar to Goosebumps, The Haunting Hour was scarier and had many more guest stars.
Also, this was the first R.L Stine show to adapt more original ideas, rather than just adaptations of his stories, though some do appear in the shows run.
