-->-- '''The opening theme'''

''[=FreakyLinks=]'' is a horror television series that aired from October 2000 to June 2001 (13 episodes) on Creator/{{Fox}}. It took inspiration from ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject'' (in fact, it was made by the same people), which featured paranormal investigators looking into various supernatural phenomena, and releasing the results in the internet, via the website bearing the show's name.

* EmotionEater: The villains of "Live Fast, Die Young" are a bunch of adrenaline junkies who need chemicals from people who have been in a high state of fear, which they turn into a drug that makes them temporarily invincible.
* FakingTheDead: In "Still I Rise", a dead rapper turns out to be alive and well.

Unfortunately, the mannequin was released from its eternal resting place and is now wreaking havoc.

Hearing this, Derek dismisses the guy's claim because he apparently makes very unconvincing special effects.
