Cheryl Clark I was a kid of the 70s/80s, but I had a much younger brother who was a kid of the 90s, so I got to watch all of these shows. I love the shows of the 90s. I’ll still watch them! lol
I wish I had a door where I could jump into a sealed 90s dimension, where my family, everything was the same as it was back then. Because, you see, I like both eras of my life. This is the adult era and I've had more than I ever had in life. Not even counting materialistic things.
I loved watching both series, but Are You Afraid of the Dark was definitely scarier. Even the intro was more scary than Goosebumps. I will say that Goosebumps had some good scares but Are You Afraid of the Dark was far scarier. Tale of the Dead Man's Float gave me nightmares and made me fear pools. And everytime I heard Are You Afraid of the Dark's intro as a kid, I was just spooked instantly I always thought that something was going to grab me while I watched that intro. Chills
I love both but Are you Afraid of the Dark had that Dang Ghastly Grinner episode which gave me NIGHTMARES for years. Goosebumps was creepy but never terrified me like Are you Afraid of the Dark did. Also AYAoTD had that pool monster which made me scared to swim for a bit xD
Gotta give it to you there. Goosebumps has a better standings with the books while AYAotD comes out on top on TV. Though I really do wish they gave Goosebumps a reboot like they did with the new series of AYAotD. I loved the books and I'd love to see more books adapted to screen and I'm not talking I'm the way they did with the modern movies.
with a handful of exceptions (Welcome to Deadhouse, Stay out of the Basement, the Haunted Mask) the TV series was too goofy and didn't do the books justice.
For me Are you Afraid of the Dark had for memorable character cause I never really got into goosebumps that much, sure I watch a few episodes, but after all this time I can still remember characters, Tiltles and lines exactly. When I'm telling stories around the campfire, "I call this story", that's literally me... I havent watched this show since I was 7 or 9, but I still recall them exactly like a charm
Are You Afraid of the Dark won without a doubt dammit now I feel old Those Were the Days the show used to keep me up all night and I'm still in love with you.😢😢
Same here and I'm hyped for the Are you afraid of the Dark reboot premiering on Nick this October. And from what I've seen in the trailer it's even more mature and terrifying then the original.
Are you Afraid of the Dark was the show, that got me interested in Horror when i was 7. For a horror show that was geared towards younger people, it really did some dark stuff at times and the characters where unforgettable for me. When i watched Goosebumps at some point later, it just didn't felt the same. The whole atmosphere was a bit too cartoony to really scare me. Though, there where a few episodes i also found memorable. If it wasn't for AyAotD, who knows if i would be as interested in horror right now.
Are you afraid of the dark was way scarier. Goosebumps was corny at times. The intro set the mood for Are You Afraid Of The Dark whole the intro for Goosebumps not so much. While the Goosebumps books were amazing. Thoughts?
@@wendyodell356 there was a cartoon version, Tales from the Cryptkeeper. The first two seasons where really scary. far more than the shows in this video
I've been begging watchmojo to do TALES FROM THE CRYPT for years. But I highly doubt it. The producers on this channel only show videos of what's popular now.
I grew up watching Goosebumps i remember being at sleepovers and friends house and we'd watch Goosebumps even i remember watching it before we'd go trick or treating now that I'm 17 i tend to watch it now and then especially during the month of October when i binge watch the series
Wow these are definitely from my childhood im 32 and this was my favorite shows when i was younger!! I love goosebumps and i have read theirs books 2!! Wow brings back so many memories!!🖤💜💚now i watch supernatural but nothing compares 2 goosebumps and are you afraid of the dark!!
@@kotlianz That was a great one! I am a bit hazy on book names, but the 1 with Slappy gave me nightmares for weeks. And when I saw it on t.v.! O...M...G!
I loved the “Goosebumps”-books as a child, but I don’t think that the show was good, even do I liked it as a kid. I never watched “Are you afraid of the dark?” as a child, because it didn’t aired in my country, but I think it’s good.
The thing is Goosebumps was scary, but Are You Afraid of The Dark was just dark. Goosebumps tried to be scary but not go into too dark of topics like abuse or divorce, but Are You Afraid of The Dark handled the more mature topics that Goosebumps didn’t. Part of that might be because Goosebumps has child protagonists while Are You Afraid has teen and adult protagonists.
"Goosebumps" is largely more well-known because of its creator, R.L.Stine, who had already published many horror books geared toward young adults. Stine is also American, although the series was filmed in Canada,. "Are You Afraid Of The Dark?" often dealt with more mature themes. Both were great shows but AYAOTD is my favorite.
Yeah that was a major goal of mine for a time but proved to be an impossible feat so I let it go after tiring of being jealous of others who were able to accomplish it lol
T.V show vs T.V show, AYAotD definitely was the better one. However, I read all the Goosebumps books as a child. A number of them were truly chilling (like say cheese and die for example). I think being able to interpret the story yourself vs a screen adaptation interpreting it for you is what made is so much scarier though.
Person born in '99 here. Kids born around that time grew up watching some 90s shows in there last days of being aired and new kids shows of that time. That being said I grew up watching and reading Goosebumps it'll always be my favorite. I don't know if they still aired AYAotD when I was a kid, but then again I watched Cartoon Network and Disney Channel more than I watched Nickelodeon so I'll never know.
How about make both a adult TV show? So it doesn't have to be a remake it could called do you still get Goosebumps?(or something like that) and are you still afraid of the dark?
I definitely watched both constantly when I was a kid, but Are You Afraid of the Dark? is underrated and incredible. Phoebe is right, Goosebumps can be a little goofy.
In are you afraid of the dark I am still searching the song of the tale of the prom queen when she gets with her boyfriend in Chevy. You can still listen the song in my playlist 1.
Are You Afraid of the Dark was by far the scariest and most atmospheric kids horror show. You just got sucked in to some of the stories and were genuinely frightened and unnerved by some of the twists and turns. The Tale of Dark Music has one of the best twists ever and The Tale of the Phantom Cab was an excellent first episode that made sure I never forgot the answer to that one particular riddle.
Are You Afraid Of The Dark was way more creepier and scarier than Goosebumps.It was almost like Tales From the Crypt without the blood and that's what made that show amazing.The 90's was so unique like that.
I'm sorry, but nothing was scarier than Goosebumps to a kid. Even the Horrorland episode, which this video claims is silly and campy, was very scary to me as a kid, because I KNEW that R L Stine wasn't afraid to make things have a horrible turn. Goosebumps was rooted in that fear that things would turn out badly in the end, which is a route AYAOTD mostly didn't take. Another facet of Goosebumps that was far scarier was the common trend of children trying to communicate their fears to parents who refused to believe their kids. A truly horrifying concept for children. And let's be honest... Goosebumps had so many monsters and villains that would legitimately kill you, harm you, haunt you, lock you away forever. AYAOTD most of the time had a moderately safe ending.
I barely saw Are You Afraid Of The Dark? I would watch Goosebump's when i was little and it was the very first book series that i've read as well,too. I've been reading Goosebump book's ever since i've been 10 year's old and it will alway's be apart of my childhood memory.
@@hidof9598 I haven't been keeping up to the series,really. His new book's started to get a little boring to me,but his old book's were way better than the new one's.
I was born in '89 & can't recall a time without AYAOTD & it being the centerpiece of my Saturday night & SNICK (& this was the early days when SNICK was, no pun intended, literally All That). I was young enough when the Goosebumps books came out to have them read to be before bed, and I loved them. I distinctly remember watching the Haunted Mask when it premiered & my Dad taping it. It was like an event, and probably the only time my Dad ever watched either show/I got to watch them outside of my room. I always really liked Goosebumps, the series and books, as a whole, but my loyalty & heart will always go to AYAOTD everytime. Not only because it was the first, the original but Goosebumps always seemed on the more outrageous, sometimes goofy side. Chilling, but goofy. I also didn't realize til watching again in my 20s how almost all the endings are kind of ominous or up in the air. While neither opening gave me nightmares, AYAOTD was way more spooky to me. AYAOTD was also more about the story and storytelling imho. I'm much more for a good ghost story than gnomes from he'll running around. Ive always thought Goosebumps was more like the Outer Limits to AYAOTD's Twilight Zone. Either way I think those of us that grew up in the 90s were extremely lucky to have had them, because at the end of the day they were different enough that there was room for both
I honestly don’t agree with this. Both shows are incredibly iconic, however Goosebumps just defined my childhood and terrified me a lot more then Are You Afraid of the Dark. Especially “Charlesville.” Maybe I’m biased though.
I really could not pick to be honest because I was born in 2000, so I was able to watch Goosebumps as a kid on VHS while they were still around, as well as on DVD sometimes too, but I never heard of AYAOTD until I was like 14, so I only watched it when I was much older, but even as a teen, I love AYAOTD
For me, it was the moment from Season 1 Episode 2 of Are You Afraid Of The Dark called "The Tale Of Laughing In The Dark" when Josh is in his bedroom talking to Weegee on a landline telephone and someone picks up a landline phone and starts talking to both Josh and Weegee with a really creepy voice. Josh realizes that the other person didn't pick up the phone at Weegee's house, therefore whoever picked up the landline phone had to be downstairs inside Josh's own house. Josh runs to his bedroom door and pushes the latch closed locking the door one second before the creepy carney or Zeebo slams into Josh's bedroom door trying to get in. Then a purple balloon blow up under the crack of his door that says, "GIVE IT BACK!" which pops after he sees it. I was eight years old watching this episode of Are You Afraid Of The Dark and this scene gave me nightmares for a couple of days!!!!
90's kids shows were some of the best shows ever. Personally I was more of a fan of ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK but loved 80's of GOOSEBUMPS episodes. I own both series on DVD an enjoy eating them all year an sharing my childhood with my nieces an nephews. Someone make a time machine so I can relive my youth!
My brothers and I LOVED Are You Afraid Of The Dark, our parents set up the basement like a living room so on Saturday night one of us would be in the basement and call up to the other 2 to come down to watch. We would shut the lights off.
@@randomfools808,yup.He was a megalomaniac who wanted to enslave everyone and If ur younger than 12,don't read Wasn't pulling back to kill.He almost did in Slappy's Nightmare(Series 2000
Man i miss these times used to rush home from school and watch both faithfully, i couldn't get enough along with keenen and kel all that Rokos moderen life Ghost rider on pbs etc. aww man the 90's were awesome Golden era!!
Are You Afraid of the Dark I like, but Goosebumps is one of the biggest childhood things I grew up loving. Love the books and the tv show. To me Goosebumps beats Are You Afraid of the Dark.
Okay, Goosebumps was great, but I still couldn’t resist the scares of Are You Afraid Of The Dark? Especially to this day. It was the highlight of the 90s, no doubt. My childhood is forever engraved with these shows. They had something different to offer, never losing steam, figuratively speaking, of course.
Are you afraid of the dark was much memorable to me, I loved goosebumps but it lacked in alot of episodes, I felt like are you afraid of the dark had you sitting on the edge of your chair, and at the end when they put the fire out, it just made you think about the whole episode while you went to bed, it use to come on at like 8 at night and we had to go to bed at 9
I remember being legitimately scared by the Goosebumps moments with: 1) The monstrous floating masks 2) The haunted dark ride that two kids rode through (Forgot both episode names)
I love both goosebumps and and are you afraid of the dark these shows are my favorite of all time and what made me fall in love with horror and scary ghost stories for life.
The Midnight Madness episode of Are you Afraid of the Dark still holds up. Nosferatu is just downright terrifying. The Goosebumps books influenced my childhood more than the show did. Are you Afraid of the Dark is just so iconic in youth horror. I miss it.
I was in my 20s when both of these shows came out, but I had a younger brother who I was (and still am) very, very close with. I’m like his second mom. We have such great memories of me watching Are you Afraid of the Dark. I even surprised him last year with the full DVD set of the show. So just for old times sake, I have to pick AYAOTD...
Both shows are cheesy, but I still love them. Are you afraid of the dark is absolutely scarier but goosebumps is overall better Story-wise and because of the material they transferred from some of my favourite books. Also Goosebumps Villains are Top-notch whereas the majority of AYAOTD's Villains are rather lacklustre.
The scariest episode of are you afraid of the dark is the one with the swimming pool or the clown one or the doll house and the scariest episode of goosebumps is the Haunted Mask
If someone makes an own children’s horror comedy anthology series it would have framing set ups, original ideas of monsters, and scares from are you afraid of the dark, combined with goosebumps casts and popularity impacts what would they get?
Love the video Phoebe, but you drastically undersold the impact of Are You Afraid of the Dark due to one major factor: if Are You Afraid of the Dark hadn't been such a massive hit for Nickelodeon, showcasing the popularity potential for a young adult anthology horror series, there is no guarantee that FOX Kids greenlights Goosebumps.

Goosebumps is cheesy are you afraid of the dark is better
Both had bad actors!

We got a win win

90's kids shows were some of the best shows ever. Personally I was more of a fan of ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK but loved 80's of GOOSEBUMPS episodes. I own both series on DVD an enjoy eating them all year an sharing my childhood with my nieces an nephews. Someone make a time machine so I can relive my youth!
Are you afraid of the dark intro was scary as hell
My brothers and I LOVED Are You Afraid Of The Dark, our parents set up the basement like a living room so on Saturday night one of us would be in the basement and call up to the other 2 to come down to watch. We would shut the lights off.
Finally a video about this!!! Let’s go!!
Goosebumps holds such good childhood memories of Autumn and October watching late night on the Disney channel
The Goosebump's books is where it was at!
I choose goosebumps it has one to the most iconic character slappy the dummy.
But the show never did the Dummy series justice. He was way more sinister in the books.
@@randomfools808,yup.He was a megalomaniac who wanted to enslave everyone and
If ur younger than 12,don't read
Wasn't pulling back to kill.He almost did in Slappy's Nightmare(Series 2000
Yessss! Are you afraid of the dark? Was my preferred choice as a child. A lot scarier than Goosebumps and I thought the stories were better.
Man i miss these times used to rush home from school and watch both faithfully, i couldn't get enough along with keenen and kel all that Rokos moderen life Ghost rider on pbs etc. aww man the 90's were awesome Golden era!!
Are You Afraid Of the Dark had some scares for sure! When the show came on, we always turned off the lights, since it was on at 9:30pm.
Are You Afraid of the Dark I like, but Goosebumps is one of the biggest childhood things I grew up loving. Love the books and the tv show. To me Goosebumps beats Are You Afraid of the Dark.
Okay, Goosebumps was great, but I still couldn’t resist the scares of Are You Afraid Of The Dark? Especially to this day. It was the highlight of the 90s, no doubt. My childhood is forever engraved with these shows. They had something different to offer, never losing steam, figuratively speaking, of course.
Goosebumps will always be undefeated to me! That intro was everything too. I still sing it sometimes 🙌🏽
Are you afraid of the dark was much memorable to me, I loved goosebumps but it lacked in alot of episodes, I felt like are you afraid of the dark had you sitting on the edge of your chair, and at the end when they put the fire out, it just made you think about the whole episode while you went to bed, it use to come on at like 8 at night and we had to go to bed at 9
I’ve been waiting for y’all to do another Vs video.
I remember being legitimately scared by the Goosebumps moments with:
1) The monstrous floating masks
2) The haunted dark ride that two kids rode through
(Forgot both episode names)
I love both goosebumps and and are you afraid of the dark these shows are my favorite of all time and what made me fall in love with horror and scary ghost stories for life.
The Slappy in the Book Cover looks scarier than in the Series and Movies
You're right
Are you afraid of the dark is getting its own movie, and I’m stoked for it!
The Midnight Madness episode of Are you Afraid of the Dark still holds up. Nosferatu is just downright terrifying. The Goosebumps books influenced my childhood more than the show did. Are you Afraid of the Dark is just so iconic in youth horror. I miss it.
So true. I was in 3rd grade when the midnight madness aired. Nosferatu gave me nightmares for weeks.
#1 the setup.
Are you kidding me? The Goosebumps theme song should have got that win.
I just knew in my heart that even goosebumps couldn't beat Are you Afraid of the Dark
I just started rewatching it. Hahahhahaa. Love are you afraid of the dark. Childhood nostalgia
Tales from the crypt is the best... WAhahahaha yeah!
That's what I was thinking.
Yeah man yeah
Yeah I love both Tales from the Crypt shows.
If we talking adults shows yes,but in the kid/teen realm? There's layers to that 90's horror
Thisw was the perfect nostalgia trip for my birthday weekend.
Are you afraid if the dark was so much better then goosebumps.
During these hard times I am literally binge watching every 90s horror anthology series... EVERY Night!!
I was in my 20s when both of these shows came out, but I had a younger brother who I was (and still am) very, very close with. I’m like his second mom. We have such great memories of me watching Are you Afraid of the Dark. I even surprised him last year with the full DVD set of the show. So just for old times sake, I have to pick AYAOTD...
Are You Afraid of the Dark hands down! This was my Saturday as kid. Plus I can not wait until the Are You Afraid of the Dark reboot!!!!
Watched and loved both but prefer Are You Afraid Of The Dark
Same here.
Just... thank you so much for this video. 🙏🙏
Are you afraid of the dark?!! Every day!! My all time favorite show! Goosebumps wasn't as scary
I agree Goosebumps was less scary but more popular than Are You Afraid Of The Dark
Both shows are cheesy, but I still love them. Are you afraid of the dark is absolutely scarier but goosebumps is overall better Story-wise and because of the material they transferred from some of my favourite books. Also Goosebumps Villains are Top-notch whereas the majority of AYAOTD's Villains are rather lacklustre.
Are You Afraid Of The Dark was the best! I was born in 91 & growing up I had no clue shows could be scary like that.
Phoebe be looking so beautiful. I am still waiting on the trailer for The live-action Are You Afraid of the Dark movie.
I thought they both were great, but Goosebumps left my childhood scarred with the gnome episode lol.
Thank you!!! I just commented about the gnome episode, not remembering which show. Gnomes are assholes. LMAO
Goosebumps was my childhood
Same
The scariest episode of are you afraid of the dark is the one with the swimming pool or the clown one or the doll house and the scariest episode of goosebumps is the Haunted Mask
Yeah
Lamari Piazza glad you agree
Goosebumps is definitely still relevant. My 4th graders still love reading the books today!
Not surprised that they didn’t mention how bad the goosebumps movies were.
Courage the cowerdly dog scared me as a child
If someone makes an own children’s horror comedy anthology series it would have framing set ups, original ideas of monsters, and scares from are you afraid of the dark, combined with goosebumps casts and popularity impacts what would they get?
To tell you the truth, I love both. ❤
I like you
Gail Neubauer There is nothing wrong with loving both! I love both as well😉💚🖤
Submitted for the approval of the midnight society . I love that phrase
Love the video Phoebe, but you drastically undersold the impact of Are You Afraid of the Dark due to one major factor: if Are You Afraid of the Dark hadn't been such a massive hit for Nickelodeon, showcasing the popularity potential for a young adult anthology horror series, there is no guarantee that FOX Kids greenlights Goosebumps.
Yo the goosebumps books are gold and my childhood and the reason i learned to read 😂😂
That is just too sweet. Lovely comment.
Same.And some comics
Not dr Seuss? Goosebumps? That's what made u learn to read? Lol
