Did you watch Are You Afraid of the Dark back in the day? What are your favourite memories of the show or even the books?

@Kite562bookishreviews 9 месяцев назад

I do vaguely remember watching the show when I was younger, one episode I remember an episode where this girl found a black stone with strange carvings on it would let her go into a mirror. I dont remember the name of the episode though. I do remember the tale of the silver sight though! 😊❤📚

@KrystleLovesHorror 9 месяцев назад

The Tale of Jake and the Leprechaun was, and still is, my favorite episode from the show! I just rewatched it a couple of times a few months ago. 😂 I don’t know why, but I LOVE that episode. 😍

@LalAxCrazyMe 9 месяцев назад

I really thought that I had, but when I looked up the stories I remembered, they were all from Campfire Thrillers: Tallow Glee and the Golden Key! It’s a 90’s movie with really similar vibes. Have you seen it?

@dreamfall815 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, I watched it all the time even though it scared me. I would usually shut it off partway through. The one time I forced myself to finish an episode it was about an invisible monster that was drowning kids in a school's pool. I was afraid to swim alone until I was a teenager because of it 😂

@MissKyzoni 9 месяцев назад

I remember staying up past 8pm (Late for 7-8 y.o. me) to catch every episode of this show when they were on and just falling asleep on the living room floor. Any children spooky show was a major highlight for me growing up. What stuck with me most is some of the settings/visuals were unsettling/scary and the equipment of the time of filming added another layer of creepiness personally. I never cared much for the fantasy/hero/scifi episodes but Are You Afraid of the Dark definitely avoided doing too many of those. The episodes that stuck with me even to this day was the one about the vampire in the hospital, the painter who kept a head in a cupboard with the paintbrushes, and the ghost hounds that were hungry. I will admit as an adult some of the episodes made no sense but they brought me joy as a child. And Are You Afraid of the Dark deserves praises for their diverse casting practices. They were one of the few shows of that time that would hire a wide range of people from different ethnicities/backgrounds.

@reginad91 9 месяцев назад

I would absolutely love a discussion video from you about all the nostalgia series you've done so far! What are tropes/themes that you noticed were very prevalent in that time period? What are differences to more modern books? What could we find in books today? How much can you tell about the change of different worldviews from then to today, like the fatphobia you mentioned multiple times in the goosebumps series I believe...? That could be such an interesting video! 🥰

@Lorie336 9 месяцев назад

Are You Afraid of the Dark premiered on Halloween or 1990, I was 9 years old at the time. This was a year before the premiere of Rugrats and Doug. I watched a lot of TV as a kid. I also remember it being part of the Snick line up and I think it was either before or after Roundhouse. I finally felt seen because to me there wasn't really any spooky shows out there for kids unless you count Unsolved Mysteries which even though they were true kind of freaked me out. I'll be honest the music to Unsolved Mysteries freaked me out more than Michael Myers chase music. The show ran until 1996 and there was a small revival, but they came out with 3-4 episodes last year I think because my kids watched it and adored it. I told them that I have all the seasons on DVD and that we can watch them. By the way they were hard to get until Canada finally released them so people in the States could buy it. If you lived in the States you couldn't watch it on RU-vid unless you lived in Canada or used a VPN saying you were in Canada. When they got rid of the show I was sad, but I was getting older and it wasn't appealing to me anymore because they weren't scary enough. I was 9 in 1990 and in 1996 I was 15, so I was looking to video games now and of course Wes Craven would scare the life out of me again with Scream in 1997 when I was 16. The man scared me in the 80's as a child with Freddy Krueger and he scared me in my teens into adulthood with Ghostface. Love him and hopefully he's resting peacefully, man was a genius. I wish I knew they had books, but in a way maybe I am glad I didn't know because some of them sound far fetched and some definitely sound fun like the one that was an episode The Nightly Neighbors. That was a good episode. My other favorite was the kid who got stuck in the pinball machine or the one who had to make up his own bedtime story to escape. I know I have more favorites, but it's been a long time, although I do remember Mr. Vink, he reminded me of Tim Curry. The one story talked about WWI which sounded interesting. I am not sure about both of the world wars. I know many in the States volunteered for WWII especially after Pearl Harbor, but I know when it came to Vietnam there was no choice. From what my mom tells me men either went to college or crossed into Canada to get away from the draft. Thank you so much for doing this vlog and spending the money. You brought back a wonderful piece of nostalgia for me. By the way in my family and group of friends we always scared or pranked each other, so I find that normal. As for the revenge, somewhat normal as long as it doesn't go too far, but I'm a petty bitch so normal for me. 😊💕💕💕

Gav. We do not deserve you. This is just so well put together! You are soooo good at this! A true King in his glory days. A bit of information/background for the Campfire Vampire. The creature discussed in the book is actually considered to be a type of vampire by the Indigenous cultures from where it originates. It's also considered very taboo to say the name of the creature aloud because they believe that saying its name gives it power.

@sweetsustenance2825 9 месяцев назад

I recently watched some episodes and I've come to realize at least half of my fears in life came from this show. So many episodes just stuck with me. There's one episode I can only vaguely remember the details and oddly it's missing from streaming but people were wearing like black body suits and watching everyone but they were like in a different dimension but yet still were watching everybody in this house or town or whatever I can only vaguely remember. But the vibe has stuck with me and I truly think it's why I often think people are watching.

So I’m a decent bit to young to have grown up with Are You Afraid Of The Dark, it being long sense canceled by the time I was born, but I am a massive Doctor Who fan. So well watching the part on The Tale Of The Sinister Statue I noticed the author’s name. John Peel. I ran to my book shelf (then GoodReads) to check and I was right. John Peel is a decently well known Doctor Who novel writer. Writing for several series of books. Even writing a few of the more important books. His novels are pretty mixed within the fandom, but that was not the cross over I saw coming. Anyway great vid, love the 90’s nostalgia stuff, hope your having a great day (Also the way he writes woman in Doctor Who can be worse)

A sasquatch that gives first aid, now that's the kind of monster we need 😂 one thing that these middlegrade/teen series seem to have in common is the "missing" or negligent parents... they're terrible omg 😂 and thinking about the series I used to watch when I was a kid/teen, I swear I don't remember all those kids parents ahaha where were they?? Their kids were in constant danger 😅 parents, do better please
