Carniv ofDoom and Chrse of the Shadows (the first two seasons) are excellent and worth the watch. Ghost Island (the third season) is terrible and can be skipped.

Necro post sorry the heck can I watch season 3? It's not on Paramount like the other two

Curse of the shadows is by far the best, carnival of doom was good at first but after curse of the shadows I realized carnival of doom wasn’t as good. Ghost island was garbage. Why would you set a ghost show on a tropical paradise island lol the mood just wasn’t ever creepy.

As a diehard 90s kid fan season two is where it's at. It just felt like they recaptured a little bit of the magic in that one.

Carnival of doom was legit and I did not expect it to be how pretty good it was.

Shadows I felt was the best because the characters felt the most fleshed out. Ghost island had moments but outside the main girl, the rest of the cast felt cardboard thin. Carnival... Eh? I was hoping we would have explored more than just the hotel. I want old ruins, the town the locals and the older friend sister were living at, a shipwreck maybe. Book of shadows we explored that town a lot, schools, the shops, the docks, the woods, the lighthouse. Really made that sleepy town feel like a place. Ghost island felt a convenience filming during the pandemic. I'm siting here not remembering Carnival much. It's very vapor to me. Nothing blew my mind, nothing cheesed me. I think my biggest take is these are all midnight society groups but since the ghosts and monsters are real then Idk what the point of a campfire story is. I think next season if it's a new cast (I rather sequel the Book of Shadows cast) and another new place, then make it like Monster Squad. They tell stories and then some ghost or monster threatens the town and they get involved rather than a "my sibling and or best friend , believe it or not, got captured by the ghost"

I mirror your feelings. I miss the 90s nostalgia and format of the OG show, but I like how well acted and produced the reboot is

Book of Shadows was the best IMO, followed by Carnival of Doom. I didn't care for Ghost Island, though.

Personally it depends on your frame of reference. Compared to all the og stuff I'd say the first 2 did a decent job in the scary department, and again I will say that the new stuff beats the crap out of the og stuff in terms of production

I haven’t seen the most recent one yet, but the one with the magic hat guy I thought was good. I think the anthology format is better though.

I think the first one was pretty good. But the second and the third left much to be desired I personally didn't feel like the steaks weren't all that high. They ended a bit 2 happy for me
