I had nightmares about the episode where they stole the clown nose for WEEKS.

[headcaseheidi]

that was the first ep i ever saw and the part where you could see the barest suggestion of zeebo standing outside the kid's door was on par w something straight out of saw or hostel for preschool me

[godramaclub]

Omg the bit where you can sort of see his feet under the door. Noooooooooo

omg me too!! idk why THAT one of all episodes resonated with me lmao. i don't hate clowns or anything..

Lol @ "bespectacled 30-year-old virgin Gary".

I remember Ryan Gosling being on the show, but I wouldn't have remembered Jay Baruchel! They used Jewel Staite twice so I know they filmed in Canada just from that short list of names.

Jewel's first episode, The Tale of Watcher's Woods, is one of my favorites.

Between AYAOTD, Space Cases, and Flash Forward she was such a queen of my childhood TV.

watcher's woods was so twisted and great

[damaliaraya]

In hindsight a lot of these episodes are actually pretty downbeat. Like, dead kids all over the place...

[georgiana08]

God, I loved this show. I wish someone would reboot it, but for adults.

YEEESSS! I'm all for this. Someone suggested in the other post that it should be called "Are You Still Afraid of the Dark?" which would be perfect.

Is that a Carnivale icon? Man, I miss that show!

[headcaseheidi]

prisoner's past! kid me didn't love herself and had a thing for the guy who played his asshole stepbrother lmao

[headcaseheidi]

i was also waaay into the ginger bully from laughing in the dark/the curious camera

but i think (hope) that was just residual affection for his character from the tomorrow people, haha

[ritaamber]

I still remember the fear soup episode. Any time im scared it pops into my head 'how tasty would this be'. and some episode where the kids stepdad would use dental floss to clean his keyboard. thats literally all i remember.

[zionarmin]

That soup looked like asparagus soup and for the longest time as a child I would pretend I was eating fear soup whenever my mom prepared asparagus soup.

[emtqueen85]

That was the one with Neve Campbell right?
