This was a great series that really had nothing at all to do with the Friday the 13th movie series, or at least was barely related to it by a thread. It's about a store filled with haunted antique items that a man worked hard to collect, but when he died or was killed a lot of items were accidentally sold so now the relatives who inherited the store have to track those items down before they bring harm to the people who now have them. It's simple idea for a show but there were a lot of great, fun episodes with different kinds of items that they had to either get for the first time or get back and lock back safely away in their store, or destroy them.

Most of these stories are pretty interesting, however in order to pad the run time to fit the 1hr slot these characters do the most ridiculous things so the resolution doesn't happen when it logically should.This gets very tedious and frustrating and on top of that takes a great deal away from the otherwise likable characters by making them seem like complete fools.Still a nice late 80's nostalgia trip, but trying to binge watch is especially grueling as the silly actions of the characters becomes far too much to handle, do an episode here or there and it's more fun.

This series has become better with age. I wish I could say the same for Robey's acting career. And that is not meant as a slam at her. Quite the opposite. I've always felt Robey got a bit of a raw deal coming out of Friday the 13th. She did more than an adequate job; she did a *good* job. But she appears to be about the only one whose acting career went nowhere afterward. A pity. She had a touch for comedy in the series and was integral to the creation of a fairly strong Ensemble cast.The series itself debuted right at the beginning of the Golden Age of syndication, IMO. Coming a few years after Tales from the Darkside and a year or so right before Monsters, Friday the 13th just might be my favorite of the bunch, although the 1980 anthology series, Hammer House of Horror, despite one or two clunkers, is also in the mix.A nice plot device, too, with a cursed antique or relic providing the genesis for each week's adventure. You remember how nice it was not to need and worry about "story arcs" and serial story strategies. The self contained episode, to me, is always a joy, and, ever since Kolchak: The Night Stalker, a true indication of the talented storyteller. Serial and story arcs are usually a sign of desperate, lower grade TV production, of undisciplined writers and lazy producers.

This show is about two cousins,and an older friend, trying to reclaim cursed objects sold from an antique store by their deceased uncle. He had made a deal with the devil. Each episode is about a different object that does something great for the user, but with a terrible price that must be paid. It has a lot of appearances by actors also used on The War of the Worlds The Series. Actually, I think if you combined War of the Worlds the Series, and Friday the thirteenth the Series, you would get something very much like The X-Files. Bottom line,it's a wonderful show. I wish there were more than 72 episodes. I am a dedicated horror fan, and some of these episodes are truly creepy. They are also good for nostalgia.No online surfing for information. I love it.
