Are You Scared? is back for a "season 2" (even though the first three episodes just ran this summer) in time for Halloween. This batch of episodes is off to a promising start with The Red Man. Watcher's other October show, Too Many Spirits, is far more funny than scary, but The Red Man manages to be both. Parts of it are gripping and terrifying, and then we cut back to Ryan and Shane doing their thing, and we can laugh and have fun with it. For laughs though, the debut episode of Too Many Spirits was better.
The idea of looking out the window and seeing a face staring back at me - a twisted, evil face - terrified me as a child, so this story resonated with me. It is well written enough that it comes across as a good yarn, with some twists. As well, Mollie Ong deserves praise for her illustrations in every episode.
I won't spoil whether it's true or false, or grounded or supernatural, but it is interesting to see stories start to be submitted by Watcher viewers rather than found by Ryan on the Internet. Just like Too Many Spirits, but this was a better and more fleshed out story. Hopefully we'll get more!
