I was ten when this show came out, and all I have to say is that to this day, no show has come close to being as great as this. I would bargain with my father to let me stay up and watch all of Snick to make sure I wouldn't miss Are You Afraid of the Dark. I just bought the DVD of 91 episodes on E-Bay, and I am in heaven all over again. I get flooded with memories of old commercials, and the way life was. This makes my heart ache with a longing for my childhood, but I am so grateful for the oppurtunity to experience this again. I remember Halloween being so awesome because they would show more than one episode a night! I also just picked up Salute Your Shorts from E Bay. If you're reading this, then you probably remember that too. God how I miss those days...

Just thinking about this show puts a smile on my face. I remember, being little, and me and my big sister huddlingh together on the green leather couch and watching Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, Snick with All That, and the best of the best, Are You Afraid Of The Dark. I think back, and the scariest episodes still flicker around in the back of my head. I've mentioned this to my friends, and they have the exact same reaction. Everyone launches into a discussion of their favorite/scariest episode and laughs when others remember too. This was the best show in the history of Nick, and it makes me sad to think it's gone. Hold on to any memory of it you can, so you can tell your kids that we had some decent television, once upon a time.

What happened to nick? i used to watch this show when i was 3-7 years old it used to scare the heebie jeebies out of me... I cant belive they replaced ssuch good show on nick with the (...) the show now... Are you afriad of the dark, ren and stimpy, and salute your shorts were my favorite shows! i wish theyd show the shows from the 90s again.....

OK, I have always loved this show; it is by far the best show nickelodeon has ever aired. Nowadays all they have is this crud about talking sponges, fairy godlosers, and whiny lead characters. This show scared the freak out of me as a child and now I wish that Nick would wise up and do something, whether it be bringing the show back or having seasons out on DVD. This way, kids wont have to sit in front of the TV letting Timmy Turner whine their brains out. I TRULY MISS THIS SHOW.

At 16 years old, I look back on this show and I realize exactly what everyone else has realized....where the hell did it go? This shoe was the epitome of what Nick used to be like, and I appologize for using the other reviewers sentence there, but I honestly cannot sum it up any better. When I look back on my childhood, I think of staying up with my friends watching this show and getting the crap scared out of us and sleeping with the lights on. I also remember the show "Salute Your Shorts" but thats a different time and a different place. I know that it's far off, but I honestly hope that Nick makes this show on DVD because not only would it be nice to have, I think it would be nice to show my kid someday and be like, "Yeah, this is what real shows were like when I was little." Not that SpongeBob Square Pants garbage that they have on now. And to be honest, I think I truly would watch the episodes in my freetime because they are that damn scary. I hope other former watchers and fans are out there reading this, cause we honestly need to petition cause I really would like to own this on DVD. E-mail me and let me know what you think-(...)

I am going to have to agree with the other reviewers.I to was a huge fan of "Are You Afraid of the dark?" I loved this show and they are right, all the shows on Nickolodeon are just annoying infact because of the shows they now air I no longer watch Nickolodeon. This WAS a great show to bad they had to remove it.

I think Nick should at least consider running Are You Afraid of the Dark? on Noggin, then the younger generation of kids that weren't able to watch this show could have a chance to see for themselves that this show is timeless. Besides, what kid doesn't want to be afraid?

At the most I'd like to see a DVD set made. I'd more likely buy a set than a seperate episode, but I'd definitely recommend to any parent out there looking for a "scary" alternative for their children this VHS. I'm eighteen and I'd still watch this show if it was still on air, but maybe that's the nostalgia talking. Either way, take a chance and let your kid experience that slumber party where all the kids end up sleeping with the lights on.

This show is the epitome of what Nick use to be before it watered down and consisted of only mundane tv shows. At least Noggin is airing Clarissa, but still... why not Are You Afraid of the Dark? Bad move, Nick! Give us back our childhood!

When I was a little girl, my twin friends and I used to watch "are u afraid of the dark" every night! We loved being scared and havin' fun at the same time! We watched this movie today, five years later (13 years old) and were still scared silly. The first show, is about a young boy who met a tragic end. He leads a present day to find the secret of his brave, honorable death while at a visit to his pretty creepy aunts house. His babysitter (played by Mellisa Joan Hart) accompanies him. The second show is called "The shiny red bicycle". It is about a boy who has nightmares about his friend's death. His friend comes back (dead) and helps him save his brother. All in all, they were great! There is also a super cool music video inbetween shows, giving previews of other shows! You should really sieze the moment if you find one of these videos, because they are GREAT! ~Bertha n' Thelma n' Louise~

I was sooo small when i first watched this
Actually i only remember two: the one where they went to some kind of purgatory and it scared me sooo bad
And also a newer one about the kids who live in refridgerators and are zombies, that one was one of the...lesser episodes

Great show, WHERES THE DVD?!?!?

this sure brings back the memories....I loved this show when it was new. also if you like these old nickelodeon movies got to ebay.com and type nickelodeon youll find allot of cool shows from when we were kide (beetlejuice animated seris, lassie, ren and stimpy, clarissa explayins it all etc.) I recomend that you give this video a try!
