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.

This is a set of 4 horror movies:

BROKEN SKULL

While renovating an old building in metropolitan Chicago, a construction worker uncovers an old skull that bears powers beyond control. An alien force takes over his body and he begins a bloodthirsty rampage, killing anyone who crosses his path. Now, it's up to the construction worker's daughter to find out the hideous secret behind the murders. But, as she and her friends will soon find out... the truth comes with a high price indeed... for it will cost them their lives!

CREEPTALES

This group of short horror flicks based on old ghost stories and urban legends have been put into one movie for the ultimate horror fan. So, snuggle up tight in bed, because this film will keep you up laughing and holding on to the sheets all night long.

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???

I'm sorry I don't want to sound or be mean but come on people! There is nothing on this page that gives us the idea that it is "Are you Afraid of the Dark?" I seen this pop up while I was looking for my childhood show and I said oh I wonder what this is. I knew instantly that it was not the TV Show. So if you bought this item that's too bad but it was your own fault not whoever put this page together.

First off, I have not seen this, so ignore the 1 star rating (a rating required for posting)

I believe the problem here may be that this is linked as a "Better Together" and is linked to a show from Nick, leading people who don't read the information regarding this title to think it must be the Nick show, and not what it really is.

Please take the time to read the product descriptions, but also, Amazon, perhaps you should check that sort of thing before you offer a "Better Together" option. This should be linked to some other horror movie, or not at all, but not with the Nick kid-friendly show "Clarrisa Explains It All Season One".

I hope this can help prevent problems like this from occurring...

Don't waste your time or money. No known actors. Terrible acting. I thought this was Don't be afraid of the dark, which I am waiting to hit DVD. This is no Comparison whatsoever. I wouldn't take this DVD for nothing.File in circular container.Chris Barbay

[...] I have made a drastic mistake. For one, I have found that this is the wrong DVD. When my wife found out, she jumped off the Nick building in protest. God bless her heart. But though it a very sad time, and I have made a consideral amount of people angry, I find it quite funny. I have made atleat 1 person, Beverly Parapinsky to be exact, pay money and waste some time in trying to buy this. I admit, I laughed out loud for quite a but of time when I read the review. Please except my apologies.
Doug Funnie,
Back and in great form.

I watch this show day and night. I dont sleep, not because im scared (not that its not scary), but that I just love the show so much, that, as Steven Tyler says' "I dont want to miss a thing". Anyways, enough about me, lets get onto this show. Having this on DVD has changed the way people watch the "Re-wind collection". It has changed my life, changed my wife's life, and changed my marriage for good. Im serious, these scary moments from the show have made my life and I realize how much we mean to eachother. Seriously guys, its a good therapist. I love how at the end of the show, they poor the bucket (still dont know whats in the bucket) to put out the fire. My wife and I have spent millions of dollars trying to find out what is in the bucket. If you know, please comment. Alright, well im out of here for now, just figured I would leave a lasting impression, because the last guy that left a message was in a really bad mood. I dont think he has even seen the show, not the mention the episode when the real house turns into a doll house. That was really scary. I have trouble going into houses now. Anyways, Nick, great job at your show, hopefully you can bring in back to television. I LOVED IT!
