And let's face it...back in the day, Nick had some pretty incredible shows....Clarissa, Ren & Stimpy, Doug, Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, Count Duckula, etc. It still did up until about 6 or 7 years ago then....plop. "Are You Afarid of the Dark" was by far the best. It takes real quality to make a genuinely creepy show that can be scary, but still appropriate for pre-teens. Well, Nickelodion did it with this gem. The most frightening and impressionable episodes were "The Tale of the Nightly Neighbors", "The Tae of the Lonely Ghost", "The Tale of the Bookish Babysitter", "The Tale of the Quiet Librarian" and "The Tale of the Nightshift." Classics. In the later seasons, the show lost a little of its original flair, but still managed a few good ones. The stories that dealed with technology ruined the show (sorry, computers aren't scary.) The classic ghost stories were the best.

They really need to release this already. I have plenty of friends in their late teens/ early twenties who have raved that they would buy this show on DVD in a second.

It pains me nowadays to watch Nickelodeon (as much as I can now) and to see all these sorry shows on now. Are You Afraid Of The Dark, and all of the shows on SNICK at the time were one of the most memorable television highlights of my past. I can remember staying up late (keep in mind I was in grade school at the time) every Saturday Night in my parents' room watching this and THE ORIGINAL ALL THAT! (Lori Beth Denberg, Alicia Reyes, Kel Mitchell, Keenan Thompson), Keenan & Kel, The Mystery Files Of Shelby Woo, all these great shows. Now, Nickelodeon does not do these sorts of things anymore. In my opinion the shows now really are sorry. But I was just watching some old clips of this show and it just took me back about 10+ years. I really am a very nostalgic person. Therefore, I have to honestly say that I am quite desperate for Amazon or anybody really to release a legal DVD box set of this show as quickly as possible. Either this or put it back on television, because I have pretty much stopped watching television these past few years and stuck with old show box sets. (Television really is going down really fast.)I have a feeling that with as many nostalgic people as there are in this world, and how desperate people are to watch television shows with a even a little taste, this DVD boxed set would sell very well indeed!

Its on sale right now if you go to amazon.ca (Amazon Canada). They are still Region 1, so it will play in your USA DVD player.

Just make sure you notice that the shipping time is 5 to 8 weeks for some reason.

See tvshowsondvd.com for more info. I can't wait to get mine. :)

This is not the Are you Afraid of the Dark set you've been waiting for.

This is a merely a "best of" set from Season 6, episodes that debuted back in 1999-2000, when Nick decided to being back Are you Afraid of the Dark for another season.

None of these episodes are as good as the classics from the series original run which debuted in '92. Which featured such memorable episodes as "The Hatching" "The Shiny Red Bicycle" "The Final Wish" and others.

Avoid this. You can buy the complete First Season of Are you Afraid of the Dark? on Amazon.ca. (It is Region 1, so it will work on US DVD Players) There's a few lame episodes on that set, but it's better than this set becuase it contains the original episodes from when the series first began way back when.

Pwersonally, I'm waiting for Season 2 to be released. That is when the series really hit its peak with some excellent episodes.

Me and my friends and boyfriend sit a reminess on how great this show was. My boyfriend can even still recite lines and remember names from the show(unlike me). When he asked me what I wanted for Christmas my response was ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK SERIES!! I figured he could surely find it on the internet. But sadly the only thing he has been able to find are copied disks with bad resolution. I would be thrilled if this site/co. could get ahold of some awesome disks for us, cuz it is only the best show nickalodean has yet made!

Are you Afraid of the Dark NEEDS to be available on DVD. It's such a good show! It used to be one of my favorites growing up, when Nick was watchable. I would be over the moon and sun if this was released!


This show deserves more than 5 stars.

I was one of the many who signed a petition to get all of the Are You Afraid of the Dark espisodes released on dvd in the USA. Now that they are finally doing it I'm so excited! This has been one of my favorite shows ever!

As it's already been said so many times, "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" was, by far, the best show on Nick. It was always the highlight of my childhood weekends to sit in front of the television and listen to the creepy tales of the Midnight Society. I would absolutely love to see the series released on DVD and I would buy every single season, as I'm sure so many others who grew up watching this show would.

Gotta put this on DVD, one of the greatest shows ever on Nickelodeon. How is it not already out?

Hey, What's Up People & [...]?,
I just wanted to say how awesome this would be if you would put this show on dvd. "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" is one of the best shows on the 90's NICKELODEON channel. I sooooooo miss those days. I would watch " Are You Afraid of the Dark?" every week. I personally think we have waited long enough, so please out of the kindness of your hearts please put this awesome set on crystal clear dvd boxed sets. We would be forever greatfull. Thank You for your time!!!!!!!:) :) :) :) 2 thumbs way up.
