I submit for your approval, to the Midnight Society, the Are You Afraid of the Dark thread...



Did this show scare you as a child? What was your favorite episode? Which one scared you the most? What was your favorite monster?





Don't forget to put out the fire, please be safe!

Loved this show, still spooked to this day by the idea of a radio station off the end of the dial that lets you hear the dead

I loved this show as a kid. Nothing quite like getting your spooky fix between this and the latest Goosebumps episode.

Best episodes were the one with Count Orlock from Nosferatu terrorizing a movie theater and the one with the shadow people.

For the longest time my sister kept talking about that episode "with the scary black people."
I thought I had completely forgotten about some racist episode, then I realized she was talking about the one with the loving x-ray glasses.

That was cool cause there's no resolution it just ends with him stuck in the pinball machine forever

:agreed: that was one of the more twilightish-zone sad endings. most of em usually got resolved happily but that one kind of stuck with me

also gently caress the pool monster. to this day i can't stand swimming in waters in the dark, and empty indoor swimming pools have a very eery feel.

The majority of the actors playing the kids within the stories were Canadian, so it was fun to hear the words "sorry" and "house."

That one where the guy is constantly being terrorized by drowned ghosts or something, but they have to return to the water every morning. Like just move away from the ocean you idiot.

I was really afraid of the intro but never the show. Also I have never been afraid of actual darkness, only things like cancer, dementia, and my relatives dying.

Now something that scared me was Silence of The Lambs. I watched the movie on home video and read it and Red Dragon in the library when I was about 9. I wasn't sure exactly what semen was or what it was for, but I knew it was vital to solving crimes.

I feel like I need to donate some semen just so they can close some cold cases. I still don't understand how it works but I feel like this would help.
