Like Goosebumps, 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. Unlike the Goosebumps series, the threat of death is not implied, being both clear and permanent. In addition, death in the show is not limited to antagonists and minor characters with some stories even ending with the main protagonist(s) being killed. There are some episodes that have twist endings. However, 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.

"Really You" (Part 1)

Part 1 of 2. Lilly (Bailee Madison) is given her very own life-sized "Really You" doll, Lilly D. (performed by Jeny Cassady). Soon after, strange events begin to occur that Lilly's mother accuses Lilly of causing; Lilly maintains she is innocent, and that Lilly D. is alive. Soon, Lilly's mother starts to care more about Lilly D. than Lilly, even letting it "sleep" in her bed. Lilly's brother Brandon (Connor Price) becomes determined to prove Lilly D. is alive, or isn't.

"Really You" (Part 2)

Part 2 of 2. Brandon suspects the doll is trying to get rid of Lilly. Brandon and his friend, Josh (Casey Dubois), go to the "Really You" doll maker (Gabrielle Rose) and she explains that all of the dolls have souls. When the doll switches places with Lilly, Brandon notices that the discarded doll thrown in the trash has Lilly's birthmark on the back of its neck. When Lilly's mom (Alisen Down) expresses unconditional love for her real daughter, Lilly is restored to her human self and the doll, coincidentally, is hit by a garbage truck. The doll is later found on the street by two girls. It grabs one of the girls, causing them to run away in horror.

"Scarecrow"

A young farmer named Jenny (Bailee Madison) has trouble ridding her crops of crows, so she buys a scarecrow from a mysterious salesman (Juan Riedinger). Jenny soon discovers that the scarecrow is behind a chain of mysterious disappearances.

"The Girl in the Painting"

Becky (Bailee Madison) is dreaming of her perfect room which her mother (Camille Sullivan) can't afford when she finds a painting put out in the trash. She becomes obsessed with the image and is called by the girl in the painting (Margeaux Muir) to enter her world and is ecstatic with the room and the sleepover invitation. As she decides to stay, the clock strikes six and the girl in the painting pulls a sash, opening the ceiling, saying it opens at feeding time. An unseen creature devours a screaming Becky, the girl's mother (Claudette Mink) enters and the girl in the painting feels bad about it. It is revealed that people are called into the painting to be fed to the monster so the people in the painting won't be eaten. The girl reluctantly sits back down and waits for the next person to enter the painting, reminding herself it's them or them (her and her mother).
