[[ArcNumber Twelve]] years ago, for 12 days straight, the town of [[TownWithADarkSecret Widowsbury]] suffered a [[HostileWeather terrible storm]], which tore open a [[HellGate gate through which escaped all sorts of foul, rotten things]]. Strange things and strange people were no longer welcomed in Widowsbury, for one could never be sure of what secrets waited under the surface.

[[SuperSenses Adelaide]] [[LittleBitBeastly Foss]], [[SuperStrength Maggie Borland]], and [[ISeeDeadPeople Beatrice Alfred]] are known by their classmates at [[BoardingSchoolOfHorrors Widowsbury's Madame Gertrude's School for Girls]] as "scary children." [[KidsAreCruel Unfairly targeted]] because of their peculiarities, the girls spend a good deal of time isolated in the school's [[SpookySilentLibrary inhospitable library]] facing detention. But when a number of people mysteriously begin to disappear in Widowsbury, the girls work together, along with [[GadgeteerGenius Steffen Weller]], son of the cook at Rudyard School for Boys, to find out who, or what, is behind the abductions.

[[folder:Childrin R Skary]]
!!The series provides examples of:
* Bittersweet Ending: For a few animations, but especially in "The Mockingbird Song".
* CreepyChild: This series uses it left and right, though the girl in "The Mockingbird Song" is rather cute [[spoiler:despite being a vampire by the end of the animation.]]. Sometimes played straight, sometimes subverted.
* DespairEventHorizon: "The Little Girl Who Was Forgotten By Absolutely Everyone, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Even The Postman]]". My God.
* DontFearTheReaper: The Childrin may indeed be skary, but Death, despite the skeleton-in-a-cloak-with-a-scythe look, is a kindly and benevolent figure (and a bit of a {{Woobie}} too):

* BoardingSchoolOfHorrors: Madame Gertrude's.
** [[DeanBitterman Headmistress Bitterman]]: Mrs. Miriam Merryweather.
