Nickelodeon rebooting the are u afraid of dark series...the first episode aired in Friday the 11rh at 7pm....it was one hour long ..it's only going to be 3 episodes long so it's short... majority of the first episode was character development....the last 15 min was of our main character Rachel telling her spooky story called ...the story of Mr tophat and the carnival of Doom.... basically the end of the episode ends in a cliffhanger where the carnival in her story basically comes True and one of the kids at school goes missing...so next week's episode sne the week after that will focus on our main characters going to the carnival and trying to get there missing friend back and stop Mr tophat

Kid's shows now are just too tame and PC it makes them all into little bitches.

    A little sad to see this collection come to an end, I did greatly enjoy revisiting some of the scarier things from my childhood. However, I will say there was one series that I loved that you guys sadly did not cover. Anyone ever remembers a short series called "The Nightmare Room"? Was not a long show, Season One only had about 11 eps, and Season Two was cut early at only 4 eps, but I still remember it freaking me out the most. Heck, I still remember the episode that scared me the most. S1 EP2, "Scareful What You Wish For" A fun episode about what I assume is the darker half of Toy Story, staring a young Shia Labeouf! I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for that classic childhood scare! And who knows Channel Awesome. We didn't get it this time, but there is always next year! Anyone else has any great shows they remember that were not covered this October?

    The pool ghost was easily one of the best. Aside from its terrifying appearance when it's revealed, it was already frightening when you COULDN'T see it, because of how it plays on that realistic paranoia of something you can't see in the water that could hurt you, and the fear of drowning.

    I know everyone remembers the show for the scares (I do too), but I also remember a couple episodes to be surprisingly heartwarming, or even bittersweet at times. And I think that's what made this show so unique to me. It had depth too.
    My favorite heartwarming/bittersweet episodes were:
    The Tale of the Dream Girl
    The Tale of Locker 22
    The Tale of the Shiny, Red Bicycle
    The Tale of the Secret Admirer
    The Tale of the Last Dance - (I've even got a personal story for this one. Years ago I was absolutely obsessed with looking up TV listings, trying to find the airing of this episode again-RUclips was a fetus and streaming wasn't invented yet, folks, this was raw. I soon discovered a listing just a month or two away and honest to God I made sure I noted that date, absolutely drilling it into my head NOT to miss this airing! That's how much I loved this episode and was so desperate to see it again.)

  • @Adamguy2003
    @Adamguy2003 6 лет назад +5

    "The Dark Music Monster" (Well deserving of this list, a great villain for a great episode) is referred to on the Villains Wiki as 'Basement Demon.' I find that more appropriate. From the various powers it demonstrates, I'd imagine it is almost certainly some kind of demon.
    I always found the Ghastly Grinner really overrated. While some of the people he zombifies are kind of creepy (Especially the bus driver), I didn't feel scared of the Grinner himself. I mean, in the end, he gets taken out by the nerdy girl ERASING him, for Pete's sake! I remember as a kid, the first time I saw it, it prompted me to joke to my brother, "I guess you could say she rubbed him out!"
    I found that episode more comedic than scary.
    In place of him, I'd go with probably Nosferatu from 'The Tale of the Midnight Madness' (So freaking eerie), or perhaps the Watcher from 'The Tale of Watcher's Woods.'

    As a 6yo kid, I'm ashamed to say that #4's villain scared me so bad that I stopped watching the show altogether. I regret it now, because it is a comically corny and delightfully Canadian show, eh?

    I love how the tale of dead man's float is considered one of the best stories/monsters, but didn't get stig in the group. I suppose it was give him another story in the series which was not nearly as good that got him in the group and then he just stayed on the sidelines the rest of the show without telling a story.

    The Tale Of Dark Music is one of my all-time favourite episodes, simply BECAUSE of the ending. So rarely do you see a good villain ending in kids shows, so it just becomes all the better when twisted things like that (and the ending of Fear Soup) happen.

      XB1Gaming Creeper no he shouldn't. There's no point in doing a NC for that movie, every one knows it's bad and no one likes it. Everything has already been said and done about it so there isn't anything NC can add without just being a collection of all the things already said and done, and he doesn't do that. That's why there's quite a few movies he hasn't and won't do a NC for because they've already been beaten to death on the internet.
