Summary: The Shivers
Review: Arguably one of the worst of the Faerie Tale Theatre series by Shelly Duvall. I don't see why People are saying this one is scary? this is far from scary. It would be laughable, but it's just to boring. It moves slow, and doesn't really do anything until it's already half way through the flick or more. I like to collect this series so regardless I am happy I got this one. I just got this one quicker than I should of based on certain reviews about it. I should have considered another faerie tale before getting this one. I have it now, had to get it sooner or later anyway I suppose.

Summary: A Graveyard Smash!!!
Review: Arguably the best of Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre series, "The Boy Who Left Home..." is a macabre delight. Dragonslayer's Peter Macnicol is smart as the fearless boy and Christopher Lee is perfect as the son of Vlad the Impaler. An obvious homage to Lee's own British Hammer Horror films of the 50's with the narration of another genre favorite Vincent Price adding to the fun. Growing up in the 80's, I was entralled with the set design, actors and dry humor of this sensational series. Two or three aren't enough; buy all 26 of these priceless gems or buy the 4 disk set coming in January of 2005.

Summary: Truly a classic!
Review: Faery Tale Theatre movies are masterpieces! They follow the tales they tell fairly faithfully as they were originally written. I only hope they will soon be re-released as my children are now asking for copies, and I don't want to give mine up!

Summary: Hillarious, will be your favorite
Review: From the antics his family goes through to try to scare him, to the real ghosts of a haunted castle, "the boy who left home to find out about the shivers" is not phased. Granted, this is one of the scarrier faerie tale theatres, so maybe not good for children under 5 or 6, but will quickly become everyone's favorite episode.

Summary: Peter MacNicol and Dana Hill are superb
Review: THE BOY WHO LEFT HOME TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE SHIVERS is one of the scarier entries in the FAERIE TALE THEATRE series and thus may not be suitable for younger children, though older viewers will be captivated.

Martin (Peter MacNicol) sets out on a journey to discover the feeling of being scared. He meets an old King (Christopher Lee) who lets Martin stay in his haunted castle for 3 nights. If he makes it through the 3 nights without being scared away, he'll be rewarded with his own kingdom and a beautiful princess.

Dana Hill, David Warner and Frank Zappa co-star in this fabulous TALE. Highly-recommended.

Summary: Utterly Enjoyable!
Review: The Fairy Tale Theatre Series is wonderful. I watched them as a child, and still enjoy watching them. This one especially. It makes you laugh and at the same time has enough scare to it to make a child feel that they just watched their first horror movie. In actuality there there is nothing horrible about it. A perfect family entertainment movie.
