[Video] Top 10 Episodes of “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” for its 25th Anniversary
“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.
In celebration of the 25th anniversary, YouTuber Heather Knows Horror spotlights the best (and scariest) “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” episodes of them all!
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
