4.0 out of 5 stars Wholesome fun with a little chill for good measure!, February 13, 2006
By Robyn A. Garner (Chattanooga, TN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Twist in the Tale (DVD)
Willam Shatner's A Twist In The Tale was a 15 episode short lived television series in the late 1990's. Every week the narrarator/host (Shatner) would have a group of children he would tell a story to. The main children were always in the story itself. There are several great episodes including "Obsession In August" dealing with the legend of King Arthur and Camelot. The stories were well written and easy to follow. They had a certain chill factor, but not really scary. Watching them reminded me of watching old black and white B horror movies, no real shock value, just some uneasiness. My 10 year old cousin loved them. Some of the episodes can get complicated, but an older child should enjoy them. Interestingly enough, there was another series on around the same time called "The Legend of Willam Tell". A few of the young actors/actresses from that series appeared on "A Twist In The Tale. Both shows were produced by the same company.
This dvd would make a wonderful addition to anyone's collection. If you are concerned about what your children are watching on tv today, this is a dvd you can be completely confident in letting your children watch. It is good, clean fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable supernatural/fantasy series for children, March 21, 2010
This review is from: A Twist in the Tale (DVD)
"A Twist in the Tale" is a 15-episode series (1999) hosted by William Shatner which focuses on tales of the supernatural and/or contains elements of fantasy. Shatner plays the storyteller who begins each episode with an audience of youngsters and introduces the story to them. There are 15 episodes in all and each episode runs about 52 minutes, on four discs. Here's a list of the episodes:
Disc 1
Obsession in August
A Crack in Time
The Anchoress
Charlie

Disc 2
The Duelists
Bertie
The Magician
A Ghost of Our Own

Disc 3
Jessica's Diary
The Pirate
The Skeleton in the Cupboard
Between Life and Death

Disc 4
Darkness Visible
The Green Dress
A Matter of Time

The aspect ratio is 1.78:1 and the audio is English Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo. The picture quality is clear and crisp. This is a great series for young children, ages 7 and up. The language is clean, and so is the content. Even though the stories have strong elements of the supernatural and fantasy, the scenes are well-done and not really scary. On the whole, the stories are engaging and fun. Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it, November 28, 2009
This review is from: A Twist in the Tale (DVD)
I taped this series when it was on television. I loved the stories. They reminded me of the Eerie, Indiana (which I have on DVD as soon as it came out) or the Goose Bumps series for children. I'm a rather elderly person now and I still like the series. I would like to give it to some young people I know, but some parents may be uneasy about it. Parents need have no fear unless their children are very easily spooked Ei 9: Bring Me Dream (Eerie, Indiana)Goosebumps: The Haunted School.(I don't like horror or Elm Street or movies like that). If they'll watch Goose Bumps or Eerie, Indiana they certainly should be able to watch a Twist in the Tale. I want to buy it now because it is on DVD and I will have all of the episodes I missed.
