submitted for the approval of the i-mockery message boards, i call this thread.....

the 'are you afraid of the dark' nostalga thread

i downloaded the first 2 series of this and all the memories come flooding back, mainly of the kids attempting to act scared (mainly standing incredibly still while screaming, i can only assume they were yawning and they dubbed it over)

It was very scary stuff when I way young. Much better than that goosebumps crap

I had absolutely no idea what the hell was going on in any episode of this show ever.

ArrowX · #5

Wasn't there an episode that had a story actually happen to the group of kids by the campfire?

The only thing i remember about that show is an episode about a werewolf.

I remember one about a swimming pool monster and some brothers talking to aliens. That one might have had a spider web in it, too, but I can't recall.

I watched all these cool shows as a kid and I can't remember any of it

remember the first episode? featuring riddles!

what can be seen with the naked eye, is weightless, and if you put it in a barrel, it makes the barrel lighter?

Was that the one with the kids stuck in the taxi cab and there is a guy who has a hand in a jar?

I remember a bunch of parts to that show.

Seven Force · #9

I remember an episode where this family was vacationing in a house, and the housekeeper was a teenager. He stayed a teenager because he had this weird machine that'd supposedly suck the life force out of people through the mirrors, making him young. I should also happen to mention that the family was african-american and the kid was white. So this probably had to do with race relations in the USA.

That show was so ahead of it's time.

The episode with the psychotic clown freaked me out.

Marc Summers · #11

I remember one episode where this one guy was saying "Give me back my ankh" at the campfire over and over again, and it ended up being a conversation piece like "oh it's the egyptian symbol of life blah blah blah"

and then there was another episode with like this leprachaun guy and frogs or something :/

A hole!

The one that always sticks out in my mind as the creepiest is the one with the vampire in the hospital. I also liked the wacky reoccuring Sardough (sp?) character who would always have to correct people when they pronounced it sourdough. Hilarious.

Esuohlim · #13

He always said "I'm am not a nutbag", right?

I liked the one with the girl who had the same locker as a girl from the '70s who died in a chem lab mishap. The Renegade Virus also sticks in my mind.

I am conviced that there was an episode with a girl stuck in a mirror and messages like "HELP ME" appeared on the walls backwards, but I can't find this episode description. Was this Are You Afraid of the Dark or am I thinking of something else?

the best part of that one was that after they though they beat him you saw his port hand come out of the garbage

That show was like an Eire, Indiana, only totally unwatchable.

EisigerBiskuit · #17

How come I can only remember the pirate and mall episode?

That many quarters falling out of the air was like a godsend.

Zomboid · #18

Anyone remember the episode with the ghost granny? Holy fuck that scared me as a kid :/

Schimid · #19

It's Mr. VINC.

With a vuh-vuh-vuh.

Remember how the stories were cheasy and retarded even for kids? I remember hating this show as a kid, I was just watching it because Ren & Stimpy came on afterwards.
