1.0 out of 5 stars MISLEADING!, September 29, 2005

This review is from: Afraid of the Dark (DVD)

This product was very misleading. After having read the previous review from Doug Funnie, I naturally assumed that this was a selection of episodes from "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" which is a television show that was on the air a few years ago on Nickolodeon. My sister and I used to love that show, so we thought it would be a great idea to buy it on DVD, so we bought this product, thinking that we were ordering our favorite childhood show. Unfortunately, what we received was a compilation of several horror movies that we'd never heard of all converging under the title "Afraid of the Dark." While we were able to return it, we still lost the cost of shipping as well as our hopes of having the TV show on DVD. So if you are looking for "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" don't order this product, because it's not what you're looking for.

3.0 out of 5 stars Misleading???, November 2, 2005

This review is from: Afraid of the Dark (DVD)

To the person below who mentioned how this product is misleading...since when did the infamous show "Are You Afraid of the Dark" deserve a rating of R, when after all it was originally aired on the friendly, kid targeting network, Nickelodeon???
