When I was about 8 years old (2016) I woke up early while my parents were still asleep and turned on the TV to see what to watch. Superjail was on and I cried due to so much gore being on the TV, even if it was cartoon gore. I was 8.

    Shot in the dark here: “The Willies”. It’s kids telling horror stories and there’s one story about a bully killing monster “Bad Apples” is the story.

    Really young Sean Astin.

    Edit: found a trailer, excuse the youtube.

      Omg. I think that’s it.

      Wow.

      All these years. … Monster is in the bathroom. Brownish. I guess they used toilet humor there to design it.

      I always assumed it was an adult show. But I forget how much horror was in kids shows in the late 80s and early 90s.

      I still can’t believe you knew what I was talking about.

      Wow.

      Also I guess the kid with the flies WAS from the same show.

      I was right about that.

      Also explains why I kept thinking it was an anthology. I guess cause it was.

      I’m actually surprised by how much I did get right and yet could not find it on the internet for nothing.

        Neat! I am glad to have helped connect some dots! Your description fired some neurons and I had to think back to a Halloween party in maybe 1993 or so.
