When I was around eight when I started watching this for the first time...And having a mad obsession with ghosts, vampires and demons already at that age, I found 'Are you afraid of the dark?' simply spell-binding.The show starts off with a bunch of kids gathering around a fire in the woods, they chatter amongst each other and then one member of this group known as 'The Midnight Society' begins to tell a tale of the supernatural..Some episodes were stupid...But then some are just spine tinglingly fun...I truly loved this show with a vengeance and I guess this gave way to the 'Goosebumps' books being turned into a show...But seriously, I recently saw the intro of the show again...And just take a look.. the rocking boat on the lonesome shore...a swing rocking back and forth and the haunting music in the background...Nowadays..This kind of intro would be censored for being too scary....I'm truly glad I grew up in the 90's.

Are You Afraid of the Dark? is based on the Nickelodeon television series about a club of kids called the Midnight Society. The members of this club entertain each other with ghost stories around a campfire. The premise of this game is that you, the game player, are attempting to gain entrance into the society by telling a ghost story of your own.It's a very clever idea, and it works very well. This is one of the first games I've played that I would wholeheartedly recommend to older kids.The story you're "telling" in this case is about Alex and Terri, a brother and sister who sneak into an abandoned old theater one night. The theater, "Orpheo's Palace," was once the venue of a famous magician of the same name. Unfortunately, the magician, his family, and his employees all disappeared or died in very mysterious and highly questionable circumstances over fifty years ago, and since then the theater has been closed.Starring: Ross Hull, Jodie Reshter, Raine Pare-Coull. Director: Jacques Laberge, Scott Peters.

This show got me afraid of clowns forever! (I think it was an episode about a fun-house at a carnival or something).Although I can't remember specific episodes, going to its IMDb page sparked a lot of memories. This series was legendary for any nineties kid who watched television. Scared the CRAP out of me sometimes that I couldn't watch it!It was one of many Nick shows that were actually GOOD back then, such as Clarissa Explains It All, Pete & Pete, All That (when it was actually funny). The Wonder Years, Full House.. I could go on. I wish I could watch it again, just to see if I'd still be scared! :]

I used to watch this show when I was growing up. Anytime I think about it, I remember it very well. If you ask me, it was a good show that's perfect for a slumber party or Halloween. I also remember the opening sequence and theme song very well, too. In addition to that, everyone was ideally cast. Also, the writing was very strong and the stories were pretty chilling, too. The performances were top-grade, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I don't think I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.
