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.

"The Return of Lilly D."

The evil doll Lilly D. from "Really You" is back and out to get revenge on the family who discarded her. The doll is found by two boys who give it to Natalie (Mackenzie Foy), a sweet girl who cleans her up and then her grandfather (Terence Kelly) takes the doll to the "Really You" hospital, to repair her arm and the Doll maker (Gabrielle Rose) realizes that the doll has turned nice as she later brings the doll back to Natalie. The next day, Natalie finds a lonely baby bird and puts it in a shoe box, which makes the doll jealous and later in the night, the doll attempts to get it by using a stool, but falls and Natalie doesn't know what happened. The dolls in the basement tell the Doll maker that Lilly D. is still bad so she goes to try to save Natalie, but the doll drops a fish bowl on her head. Natalie starts to think about Lilly D. and wants to get rid of her, but she hides. Later that night, Lilly D. tries to drown the baby bird in the bathtub and later kicks Gramps down the stairs. Natalie sees Lilly D. in a wheelchair, but she turns out to be a lamp but the doll is behind her and has a knife. Natalie hits it out of her hand, then on the head with a frying pan and then her head lands in a pot of water (while the dolls sing a lullaby) and then Natalie puts the pan on top of her head, meaning the doll is dead.

"Red Eye"

Georgia (Mackenzie Foy) enjoys getting mail from her father when he's traveling. But then she receives a picture with a dark shadow on it. The next picture has the shadow right next to father. After suffering bad dreams, she figures out that she is being haunted by an Alp with the power to possess small objects. When her father comes back with a doll as a present, she thinks it is carrying the Alp and smashes it at night. Her father (Kurt Evans) comes out and reveals his red eyes that mark him as the Alp, saying "Daddy's not here" as Georgia screams.
