Today's Special:Adventure Part 2of3

[nightviolet]

That creepy little sound when the painting is moving its eyes has haunted me for years. I never got it out of my head. I'm 34 now and looked this up today. I haven't heard that sound in so many years, but I remember it exactly as it is here. And it still gives me the creeps.

This proves that all one needs to make a quality program is a blue/green screen, a Haunted Castle sign, and an iguana.

Same here! I watched this program virtually every day without fail. I loved Today's Special! I taped the episodes so I could watch them again and again. But there were two exceptions: After seeing the episodes "Late" where Muffy gets stuck behind a wall, and "Fire," where Muffy's cousin Mort sets Muffy's place on fire, I would not view those two again. Those two were scary. This particular episode, "Adventure" was slightly scary too, but it didn't bother me as much as "Late" or "Fire."

@Jibjub80 I really liked Late and Fire because of the fear factor . . . but I won't lie, I still have nightmares about fire as an adult!

[Jibjub80]

Nightmares as an adult? Hmmm, I don't think I would have nightmares as an adult from watching that episode. However, "fire" was too scary for some children, and the writers of Today's Special really should have known that. I did not have nightmares, but it made it hard for me to GET to sleep at night, out of fear of the possibility of a house fire.

"Late" was the scariest one for me, seeing poor Muffy trapped behind the wall. That one made me scared of the pipes in the basement!

i remember watching this episode as a kid. i had memories of them standing by the signs and in part 3 when they are stuck and there is a window above.  its so weird watching it again now that i'm almost 30. childhood memories!!!
