Are You Afraid of the Dark?


Are You Afraid of the Dark? was a children's program that aired on the Nickelodeon Channel. Are You Afraid of the Dark? revolves around a group of teenagers who referred to themselves as "The Midnight Society" Every week one of the members would tell a scary story to the group. Each storyteller would begin their story by saying "Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this story..."  Each week would follow a story about a supernatural or scary story. Most of the stories had happy endings. This is a children's show after all. The show was mostly shown on Saturday nights as part of the SNICK block of shows.  At the end of most episodes, one character (usually the nerdy kid with glasses) would throw a red bucket of water onto the fire, stating "I declare this meeting of the Midnight Society closed."
