Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Spooksville is an adventure/horror series on The Hub. Based on the book series by acclaimed author Christopher Pike, the new kid in town discovers that he holds the key to a battle between good and evil that has been taking place for centuries in a bizarre small town that plays host to a wide array of supernatural and unexplained occurrences. It has a running arc of Adam trying to find his long-lost mother and her whereabouts during her disappearance, but, for the most part, the show plays out like Eerie, Indiana meets Goosebumps (or So Weird minus the traveling musician angle and mixed with Eerie, Indiana).The series premiered on October 26, 2013, and is made by the same people behind The Haunting Hour. Because of The Hub's change to Discovery Family and the fact that The Haunting Hour has been canceled, it's safe to assume that this show is not coming back.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Tropes for the book series can be found here.

Adaptation Expansion: The series adds an ongoing arc about finding Adam's mom that was not present in the books, which were mostly stand-alone.

Adaptation Distillation: As expected, some of the stories are trimmed down to make it work in a 22 minute format.

Adaptation Explanation Extrication: In the books, Watch wears his watch to keep track of what time it is where his family lives, as they are spread out. In the show, this is not the case so there's no special reasons for why he wears them.

Adaptation Dye-Job: In the book version of The Wicked Cat, Sally is turned into a brown cat, to match her hair, but in the show, she is a white cat.

Bum, the town's former mayor, is referred to as The Mayor in the show. Word of God says this is because "in today's climate, we don't name anyone Bum"

comment
Adaptation Name Change: A mild example: In the books, Sally's real name is Sara, but this is not mentioned in the show so chances are that Sally is her real name in the series.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
