#7: Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Are You Afraid of the Dark? was a Nickelodeon anthology series that provided a generation of 90s kids with classic horror and suspense stories, told by a group of kids calling themselves “The Midnight Society.” Each episode featured a ghost story or urban legend, just supernatural enough to be spooky without being too terrifying.
For all its iconic appeal to 90s kids, though, the show hasn’t enjoyed the popular nostalgia for the era that’s overtaken pop culture lately. It’s eclipsed by a crop of Nickelodeon comedy stars and characters that were popular during the 1990s. If you ask us, it’s a good show that just had too much competition to live out its full potential.
