I still can’t believe this was in a show made for kids.”

While it may have premiered in Canada in 1990, it wasn’t until the summer of 1992 that Nickelodeon picked up and began airing anthology series “Are You Afraid of the Dark?”. From August 15, 1992 through April 20, 1996, a total of 91 episodes aired across 7 seasons as part of the network’s SNICK block, imparting nightmares on countless ’90s kids along the way.

Hey wait. That means “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” just turned 25!!

Each episode of “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” featured a new horror tale that was submitted for approval by the Midnight Society, a group of scary story-loving friends who gathered around a fire to spook each other out. And though the show may have been made for younger viewers, it was home to some pretty nightmarish imagery over the years.

Two words: Pool. Monster.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
