Let's talk about how awesome Are You Afraid of the Dark? is/was. I just watched a few episodes on YouTube, and they really hit the spot. A show like this would never be made today. It didn't sell you anything, it wasn't tied to sickening teen pop sensations, and it was actually well-written for a Nickelodeon series. I always preferred it to the dopey Goosebumps TV series.

My favorite episode is "The Ghastly Grinner." It scared the living FUCK out of me as a kid. The Grinner was a badass villain. He was a cross between Pennywise and The Joker. Of course, he never kills anyone, but he's still one creepy douchebag.

Who else loves this show? I encourage everyone to revisit Afraid on YouTube. It seems like they have most of the episodes.

this show was so cheesy

but in the best way possible

my favorite was with the kid who got stuck in a pinball machine... so foolish it was classic.

My friend and I were just reminiscing about how amazing this show was. A most excellent thread sir. Dead Man's Float, was by far the best episode ever. I remember when i was somewhere around 4 and I saw that, and refused to go swimming for weeks. Great Great great show
