Season 1 • Episode 26
LatestCreepschool is a Swedish, French and Canadian animated series by Alphanim, Cookie Jar Entertainment, Happy Life and France 3 about four kids who find themselves at a spooky boarding school. The basic concept was created by Torbjörn Jansson, which was then substantially re-worked and developed by the co-head-writers Kristina Mansfeld and Per Carlsson into the series it is today. They also wrote all the storylines. Creepschool has been compared to Gravedale High.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Gravedale High comparison isn't lazy—both shows emerged from the late-80s/early-90s 'monster school' boom, but Creepschool's European co-production gave it a darker visual palette than its American cousin.
Eva Röse's Dorothy voice performance was recorded in Stockholm while the Montreal cast worked separately—directors synched the chemistry in post, which explains some delightfully weird line deliveries.
