Review: Channel Zero

The Tooth Child didn’t win Best Smile at the Dental Ball for nothing.

What could be more unsettling than finding out that your childhood memory of a television show is, well ... nonexistent? Channel Zero’s premise is based on Candle Cove, a made-up story first posted on Internet forum Creepypasta. It was a series of postings by users on a forum about old TV shows. User Skyshale033 asked if anyone remembered the show Candle Cove, which aired in the 1970s at 4pm. He said he was about six or seven years old when he first watched the show.

Mike_painter65 replied with details about a pirate marionette talking to a little girl, to which a relieved Skyshale033 said: “Yes! Okay, I’m not crazy!”
