Horror is always well-suited to an anthological format. There's something malleable about the genre that just works as a buffet; here's a ghost story to start, ...

It’s a nice diversion for genre fans, at the very least. For the others, mileage will vary, but there are a decent amount of nasty visual beats and twists to keep a viewer engaged, even if fewer episodes or shorter runtimes would have been to the series’s benefit. Most of the stories are fine. There’s nothing inherently wrong with reusing old ideas, of course, especially if they were good ones, to begin with, but it helps if there’s something novel in the writing or character department, and there rarely is here. There are upsides and downsides to the approach. “School tales” implies a continuity of setting, and while these are eight distinct 50-minute stories, they’re all united by similar backdrops and themes, similarly-aged characters, and some overlapping ideas.

Episode 1 of School Tales the Series takes place at Kirinmas International School. It's 7:55am, and one student is panicking.

The ghost of Wittaya appeared in front of Not, wanting vengeance. But he erased the blackboard and sent his classmates an old picture. A teacher, the report says, once brutally murdered the students in that classroom, right before dying by suicide. A flashback fills in the gaps. While Q is out of the room, Not accuses her of liking Q and asks if she slept with him. Every day, the task has fallen to a student named Q to arrive early, at 7am, take a picture of the blackboard, and send his classmates the picture. Just as the bell rings–as everyone is distracted–Vaan rips the textbook out of Auan’s hands. The name of the book is disappears from the chalkboard. He’s lost his, and the rest of the class would rather make fun of him than help. The ghost comes for him. The name of the book he needs is written on the chalkboard in his homeroom class. A blue light rushes toward him and knocks him to the ground, morphing into the form of a female ghost.

Based on hit comics, the anthology series takes audiences around haunted schools, bringing back their childhood memories of terrifying schoolyard stories.

The one episode per story format does more harm than good as things are unusually fast in pace most of the time, and out of sync with its horror elements. The horror as well is not inciting enough, as it arrives in an expectable format, unable to throw the audience off their usual rhythms. Adapted from the comic stories, the eight-episode series brings the legend surrounding the unspeakable horrors of high school life, as the nightmares come to reality.
