I really don't know why everybody likes this show; I used to watch it when I was a kid and till know, I'm interested in nothing except for the theme song and good acting. There isn't a single episode I watched from this show and liked. Some episodes and I tell you SOME, when they start they seem to be good, but after some minutes their boring. I'm not saying that I liked any episode from this show, but eariler seasons and if they were bad, their not compared to how bad the later seasons appeared to be. The other thing I liked about this show is the acting; even though the acting in the earlier episodes wasn't that good, but it developed nicely by the time. Otherwise, almost all of the story lines were boring and if they weren't, the writing for the episodes itself is boring. But even though, I have to admit that this show not matter how bad it is, it's still not worser then 'Goosebumps'.

Hello everyone who grew up in the 90s by far one of the greatest decades ever. During the 90s there were a lot of great shows on TV. Well one of the best shows that were on during the 90s was Are You Afraid of the Dark, which ran from 1991-1995. It was a show about a group of kids that called themselves the Midnight Sociaty, they would sit around the camp fire telling scary stories. The show was part of my childhood & I will always remember it, I wish it was still on in reruns. I was just at this Horror Convention in Orlando, FL where I found this show on DVD. It is a pretty hard show to find on DVD I think you can also get it online but I am not sure. When I started watching it, I remembered it right off the bat. I was bring memories from my childhood it was the first time I have seen its since it got canceled in 1995. The show was brought back again in 1999 & ran for two more seasons, but it wasn't as good as the first run. Well for all you guys who grew up in the 1990s hope you never forget about this really great show.

Are You Afraid of the Dark was a favorite for anyone who was a kid aged between 5 or 6 to mid teens (maybe older even) when it was on starting in 1992. It served as a special point in the original SNICK Saturday night programming, as it was the last show to air before the channel reverted to TVLAND programming. Even when an episode didn't entirely work or was too goofy for its own good (and there were a few times, lets admit it fans), there was always a sense of excitement and anticipation to see where the next scary story would head next at that time of night before bed. Some of the essentials were the movie theater episode (Nosferatu, anyone? who hasn't wanted to go through the screen from this episode); the one that sticks quite prominently involving a clown in an amusement park (his nose!); ones with big doses of tongue-in-cheek (dark) humor like with the comic-book villain posed very much like the Joker; even a trippy one, like with the see-through glasses that featured figures of death ala Bergman.There were many others, feeding directly into phobias and other ticks that held some kids in a panic, or at least interest, if presented right in the episode. And even the gimmick of the Midnight Society was not too old fashioned; having kids tell stories around a campfire, proving worth of the member based on how good the story could get, was essential to making this not only about how scary a story could get, but about the act of storytelling itself. Can a kid get rightfully engrossed and shaking in their shoes in half an hour? Would the cliffhangers give enough leverage to stay through the commercials? If memory serves me right, most of the episodes that were most effective stuck long after the episode ended, with little pieces of episodes still staying prevalent to this day nearly fifteen years later. And luckily, aside from a few glaring exceptions in fashion style (and a slightly different level of technology), the show is not dated either in seeing the same episodes again. For older audiences they aren't always spooky, which may make them all the better to hold onto for the next generation to scare the hell out of them.At the least, it's worth seeing just for the opening titles; the first two shots look like they're out of a true horror movie, or a scary anti-drug ad.

I loved this show, every night after school i used to watch it with my little brother, it scared the life out of me but it was brilliant! My favourite episode was the one where they had to cut down this tree, as everyone who entered became part of a game, which was to kill the others. it was really scary and put me off going into any woods! I cant remember what the episode was called as i was only small, but i remember the boy in the tree was "Larry Tudgeman" in Lizzie McGuire and i was soo chuffed when i saw him in it, it brought flooding back all those memories! I loved the candle at the beginning where it is blown out and all of the writing goes blue. Oh and at the end of each story, they threw the bucket of water over the fire to put it out! I haven't seen if for at least 10 years. Oh how i wish Nickeldeon would bring it back!
