watching back the series the whole seem really low resolution....obviously it was filmed in 1990s so its not surprising but Im just curious if there is any upscaled version?

Love this damn show so much

This shirt pops up in a couple episodes, but off the top of my head I mainly remember it from Tale of the Dark Music.

My wife loves how cheesy and just “90s metalhead” the shirt is, so we’ve always been hoping to find it, but obviously just searching for “that shirt on are you afraid of the dark” won’t yield many results lol

If anyone’s got any insight, thanks in advance!

I've always been intrigued by lost media and after rewatching "The Tale Of Laughing In The Dark" I'm fixin to track down what happened to the animatronics used in the show.

Considering they used an actual Montreal amusement park for filming, I wouldn't be surprised if they also used the props that were already there. So maybe this is a good place to start looking

We need the episode's original airdate, and when the episode was filmed/made. Maybe we need to find the date of when the Montreal amusement park was operating and when those specific props were bought and first featured in the park (only if my guess is right about them just using the props the park already had in place)

Im trying to watch now and it's not letting me. Wonder if its copyright issues now

Hello AYAOTD likers!

The first full episode of the second season of Submitted for the Approval of the Midnight Pals, a horror-comedy fiction podcast based on Bitter Karella's Hugo-nominated microfiction which imagines an AYAOTD-like storytelling club populated by fictionalized teen/TA versions of 'real' classic horror authors, is out today. In "The Tale of the Hellraiser", Stephen King, Mary Shelley and the others visit the ninth circle of hell in a daring mission to rescue Edgar Allan Poe from Pinhead and his Cenobite friends, while Dean Koontz hurts himself trying to use a can opener and Brian Jacques outwits a cat.

There's a one-minute illustrated clip in this r/audiodrama post. Share and Enjoy!

Content notes: swearing and raised voices, violence, gory noises, torture. (It's Hellraiser, after all.)

You can listen to the full episode on the web here, or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or any podcast site/app. I hope you enjoy it!

Yours in Clive

Which vampire on Are You Afraid of the Dark was the scariest?

Where can I watch the episodes that are missing from Paramount+? I was watching through and didn't realize how many are missing 😕

"Train Magic" overall is an episode that's overlooked, but ghostly train conductor Ray Lawson (portrayed by prolific character actor Colin Fox, right around the same time he sold the Haunted Mask to Carly Beth on "Goosebumps") is in particular an antagonist I've always found interesting in his complexity. He's completely responsible for the Flying Dutchman-type situation he's in, being the one who fell asleep on the job and caused the fatal train crash that killed him and many others. And you can despise him for trying to pass his burden off to Gregory Smith's protagonist, a kid who is vulnerable to his manipulation and completely undeserving of this fate. But you understand why he's desperate enough to do such a thing and to escape his curse. One line he says sums it up.

"I made one mistake and I've been trapped ever since."

That's exactly it. One terrible but very human error and he's been doomed to repeat it over and over again in death. In such circumstances, it's understandable someone would go to extremes to escape it. That doesn't make you condone what he does, but it does allow for understanding his viewpoint. And in the end, when the curse is broken, it just makes his situation all the more tragic when it doesn't improve. As wise old Cap puts it:

"He doesn't have a train no more and he has no watch. He has nothing but these old tracks and the night."

He may not be as flashy as Zeebo or the Ghastly Grinner, but Ray Lawson is definitely one of the most complicated and realistic antagonists on the show. Just the product of one mistake that changed everything for him.

Hi all, I’m curious about your opinions on Are You Afraid Of The Dark vs Goosebumps. Which do you prefer and why?

The last few times I’ve tried to watch the show on the app, it shows the Nickelodeon screen and then just stalls. Anyone else have this problem?

And yes I’ve uninstalled and re installed the app several times.
