I recently aquired all seven seasons of Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark?, because TV shows from the 90s are WAY cooler than today's crap on the same channel.
I was watching a few episodes...in the dark. I can already see several headdesks as people read this. For those of you who don't know, scary things and me don't mix well. The scariest movie I own is Poltergeist. But I love ghost stories!! (I have a few about WSU...) Earlier this evening I was organizing them (common naming system, original airdates, brief episode synopsis) and it was weird how many I remember watching when they first came out. A few I was suprised that they were episodes of AYAOFD.
Since I was having trouble falling asleep, I'd figured I watch a few. I think the scariest one of the bunch I watched with the second episode in the first season, The Tale of Laughing in the Dark. And it wasn't the clown that scared me...it was the other creepy guy.
I won't be suprised if my dreams are a mix of clowns smoking cigars, lonely mute ghosts trapped in mirrors, a funky twisted claw and gnomes....
I also got The (Wonderful) World of David the Gnome. Another show from my childhood. I hope the rest of the series is better, but the first episode was frightfully dull.
