Based on the international best selling novel Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror by Chris Priestley, this spine-tingling ten part mini-series has more than enough fear factor for the most ardent fan of scary stories. Edgar is eleven years old and longs for an escape from his mundane world. Luckily for him, his enigmatic Uncle Montague lives nearby in a gothic mansion. And there is nothing Edgar loves more than listening to his Uncle recount some of the frightening stories he knows. With each episode Edgar is treated to a new story but as each tale unfolds, an eerie pattern starts to emerge of young lives gone awry in the most terrifying of ways.
Brought to life in a striking 2d animation style, Tales of Terror brings back the thrilling art of the Victorian ghost story with a modern twist.
