That one terrified the shit out of me too. It was actually based on a series of books, of which I have read one, and I can't remember the name of.
I remember one episode where there was The Butterfly Catcher or somthing, who peeled childrens eylids off.
The book I read had stories such as one where a boy steals something from another boy at school, and ends up with spots on his neck that say "Thief". Can anybody remember what book it was?

Okay. So there's this horror-story type of show that I can't remember the name of.

He says something, and then starts the film, which are the "actual" episodes. While waiting for the movie to start, the boy always has a popcorn bucket filled with some kind of bugs, varying between each episode: one time it's worms, another time it's spiders, ect. Note that the parts until now are in 3D animation/puppet style, while the films/episodes themselves are 2D cartoons. I remember some parts from a few of them:
