This TV show scared the hell out of me as a kid. I really love it. I still watch some episodes on TV. Now, THIS is a TV show!

I watched this show religiously when I was a kid. Some of the stories were actually kinda scary, especially the one about the shadow people. I will never forget that. They'd never get away with this show nowadays though.

If I recall correctly, this kid found an old camera and started using it to take pictures of random crap. However, in every picture he took, he kept seeing these weird shadow people. Over time, there were more and more of them, and they started getting closer and closer. Eventually, they broke out of the shadow dimension and invaded our world. It was creepy stuff. Well, for a kid at least.

Hey, I remember that episode! Scared the crap out of me...

I loved this show when I was a kid, but I only remember a few bits and pieces. I cant remember what it was about, but there was one with a really deformed looking lady, scared me so much...Id love to see it again.

At the time, I prefered Goosebumps though. I think if I had the chance to see both again, Id like AYAOTD more now.

Remeber the one where the kid got locked in the mall and found out he was inside a pinball machine. And the one where the vampires move in the house across the street from the one kid and everyone thinks he's crazy...brings back memories:)

All those clown episodes scared me. The one with that doll, and the clowns in the closet.

They should release a DVD of the series. but before that,

How about "Tales from the Darksides" ?

That show never gets any respect.

Well I was wandering around Zellers today, and stumbled across a 3 disc set, the complete first season, for $30. I didnt get it, but I think I might go back tomorrow...Im just afraid it might be too kiddish for me now.

I was a little too old to actually be scared of Are You Afraid of the Dark, but I certainly remember it being a pretty cool show. Along with Salute Your Shorts & You Can't Do That on Television, it's one of the best shows Nickelodeon has ever produced.

I own all the goosebump books of the original collection, but despite that, I really prefer AYAOTD. The stories in there were very great.

Anyone remember the episode where they started off telling a story, and it showed a scene in daylight with someone in bed, and a huge fucking terrifying creature lurking over him? They decided not to tell that one, so the story about it ended there. God that one scene scared the shit out of me.

AND SARDO. Haha, he was hillarious. The owner of the local magic shop.

"That's Sardo! No mister, accent on the DO."

This show was great.I uesed to watch it every time it was on.so many good ones it's hard to pick a favorite.

The ones that come to mind are the one were the girl makes friends with a ghost of a old lady and she doen't find out til the end.

Also the one where the guy steals people youth through cameras.That one was prety cool.

and you can't forget the one with the vampire kid next door.

I loved that show. My siblings and I would play like we were on the show in our backyard all the time when we were little.
One thing. Was I the only one who had the hots for the guy who wore glasses.

I used to watch the show every week. I was older than the target audience, but I didn't care because I could tell it was good stuff. I even taped a few episodes...I didn't think they were all good, but about one fifth of the episodes were great. I still have the tapes..."The Tale of Laughing in the Dark" with the kid taking the clown's nose...now that's pretty scary!

Ooooo that one freaked me out.

Oh yeah. I think that one is probably my favorite episode, because it spent all its energy trying to scare the audience. There was no cutesy side to it. And you never actually saw the clown ghost when it started coming after the kid.....you only heard it, or saw signs that it was there, or saw a shadow moving under the door. It was far worse imagining what the clown looked like, instead of seeing it.

I think it was Zardot but I could be wrong.

Anyone remember the episode where the family went to stay in a bed and breakfast or something and the mirrors were taking their youth to give it to the one guy so he could stay young forever? And the kid found the graveyard that had all the guests.

Or the episode of the girl that died on her way to the prom. She got hit by a car or the car ran off a bridge and at a certain time every night you could see the car go into the cemetary.

I could go on. I loved that show. It was the best show ever on Nick aside from You Can't Do that on Television.
