I always loved: "The Tale of the Dream Girl," "The Tale of the Bookish Babysitter," "The Tale of the Dangerous Soup," and "The Tale of Locker 22" Just to add a few to your already excellent list. Are You Afraid of the Dark was such an awesome series. I always looked forward to Saturdays to catch the lineup on SNICK, especially this time of year, with Halloween just around the corner, the fall chill is beginning to make itself known. It is the start of my favorite time of Year. This show amazed me to see so many young actors/actresses who appeared in several episodes. I know there are 2 which feature a young Jewell Staite (Firefly, Stargate Atlantis), and there were several others. Love it.
I always watched it when it was on SNICK... made my Saturday. Be sure to check out the top 10 worst episodes too to see if any you like made the cut ha ha ha Thanks for watching, I appreciate the support. Remember to smash that SUB button for more awesome videos coming soon.
@@Wild1Unknown The top 10 worst video was the first video I watched. None that you had on your top 10 worst didn't deserve their place. There are more than a fair share that could easily join them. Tale of the Chameleons is one of my least favorite.
@@Wild1Unknown One that is really good, but I do not hear people talk much about, is the Red Bicycle. That one was really good. Another one, I can't remember if it was really good, or bad, but I remember it being interesting. It had Bobcat Goldthwaite as the sandman and he put this girls family to sleep and she is trying to get him to wake them up again, or something. Mainly I just remember Bobcat, lol. Such Iconic voice and mannerisms.
That one is a real fun one to watch - Especially if you grew up with brothers ha ha ha Thanks for watching and supporting. Make sure to hit that SUB button for more awesome videos coming soon.
I think the reason why Laughing in the Dark always goes on my recommended list is it is very good at building suspense around a threat you can't directly see. Things that are hiding just out of sight. It lets your imagination do the heavy lifting, and when that is done right it can be so much more effective than jumpscares.
100% This... the build is almost perfect. It even takes it father by doing a reverse reveal too... As the story builda we see 4ish versions of Zeebo. On the fun house sign, the statue in the fun house, the newspaper and the mirror. All are a little different. So we the viewer are interested in seeing what the big reveal will be if he is actually shown to josh. Perfection Thanks for watching I appreciate the support - Make sure to hit that SUB button for more awesome videos.
For some reason when I think of this show the episode called “the tale of the nightly neighbors” always pops in my head. I remember my dad bringing me to toys r us and I picked out my wrestling buddy and I went home to watch this episode. It was always one of my favorites as a kid.
That is a great nostalgic memory to have. That episode too is also a good one to watch. Thanks for watching and supporting. Make sure to hit that SUB button for more awesome videos coming soon.
Tale of the Dead Man's Float is one of my all-time faves! I was watching 'It Follows' earlier this year and the climax of that film made me really nostalgic for that AYAOTD tale. Of course, the show turned me into a complete horror girlie.
That is such a good one as well as "It Follows" - I actually heard they are making another one soon 🔥 Thanks for watching and supporting. Don't forget to hit that SUB button for more awesome vids coming soon.
@@Wild1Unknown they are! I'm really excited. I thought it was a legitimately unsettling horror flick, which really rarely happens for me. And the soundtrack, cinematography and visual direction were all top notch
that was my favorite too horrified my child brain but couldn't escape how intriguing the idea was. one of the better structured episodes i was always waiting for the pool episode to rerun

Nice to see a video that doesn't hammer down on the age and such. Nowadays it may seem a bit childish and such, but remember that this was made over 30 years ago, it was a different time, and back then, we as kids, thought this was either awesome or scary. I still regularly rewatch this show and am glad I was able to obtain at least some of it on dvd!
Glad you enjoyed it - I think sometimes people forget "these were 30 years ago" and also made for kids and young teens. I do think there are a few episodes were the actors are too young and they should have aimed higher which would have helped character development and attract a more teen audience. All in all still a solid series Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support. Make sure to follow for more awesome videos coming very soon.
Both those are fantastic - even when the Babysitters Geled-Down hair ha ha ha. Those are fun watches today too. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support. Make sure to follow for more awesome videos coming very soon.
@@Wild1Unknown that's a first for me! I actually put that one on a while back for someone who in no way was the show seriously... They quit any halfway through 😂... I think the costume design was what I liked best.
@@chrispodesta8105 its up there as the creepiest for me, something about the creepy stuff being occult based did it for me. I still remember getting a nightmare as a kid after watching it. I can I guess see how this guy found it boring, as the amount of creepy stuff is limited but it builds up to some of the creepiest moments in the series.
The Quicksilver is definitely one of the darker episodes. I would say the Quicksilver and the Dark Music are the two darkest episodes. You know the kid fed his sister to the wish granting demon. That look he gives at the end........no doubt.
From the ridiculous Virus to the John MulAndy episode and that dope Deadman’s Float costume you really nailed some sweet Are You Afraid of the Dark moments. Just in time for Halloween! I really enjoyed this thanks for sharing.

No “Tale of the Quicksilver”… Maybe its been a long time, but that was one that I still remember decades later for being creepy. For me it was one of the few episodes that actually creeped me out, up there with Dead Man’s Float and Midnight Madness. I thought it was scariest episode personally, it actually gave me nightmare as a kid.
Many commenters have said that episode... I remember it being very boring and slow... BUT maybe I am wrong. I will have to go back and give it another peek and see if it changes my mind. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support. Make sure to follow for more awesome videos coming very soon.
@@Wild1Unknown Yea you should give it a rewatch. It was darker than a lot of other episodes, and I liked the occuIt theme which felt more realistic, especially as a kid. I could see an adult horror movie being made off the plot of the episode.

I can only recall 3 episodes anymore: The one where the ghost kid says he is cold and they find gold in the stove, the one where a kid gets his foot stuck in a spill way, and the nosferatu movie one. I don't think I watched much beyond the 2nd season

Good list. I remember from my childhood the episodes The Dead Mans float, Vampire Town, Midnight Madness, Night Shift, Old man Cokhran, and the one with the Werewolf 🐺

I have every episode ever made downloaded including the very hard to obtain clean copy of Watchers Woods! My favorite show ever as a kid and still watch them all today!

Really great choices! One of the episodes that always stuck out to me was The Tale of Watchers Woods...I also loved the Tale of the Dream Girl 😍 just a beautiful story with a great ending... otherwise I highly agree with your choices!! 😄😄

The Tale of Locker 22 is one I always return too…like many “Kristen” tales. I liked how most of her tales essentially said, you may think you know what the past was like, but you actually don’t…suspension of reality is needed but I think it holds valuable lessons for dealing with reality.
I didn't see much of AYAOTD as a kid (I was more of a Goosebumps girl) but the ONE episode I saw and really, really scared me was the ones with the Super Specs. The sight of those creepy hooded figures and the thought of them being there but being invisible gave me nightmares for weeks!
GB was great too - I think I will do that series at some point too. Super Specs is one of my all time favs - You picked a good one to watch! Thanks for watching - I appreciate the support. Make sure to smash that SUB button for more awesome content coming soon.
The carnival barker isn't Zeebo, but I think he IS a doctor... "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's winner, and still king of the cage... the Wolverine." RIP Doc ❤
Same - such a good show with so many memories. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support. Make sure to follow for more awesome videos coming very soon.
I love your number one but I think Zeebo is the absolute best. The title “laughing in the dark” is creepy, mysterious, eerie and scary. It works on so many levels. The man who might be Zeebos ghost is played by a shaved Dr Vink with a vuh vuh. Maybe there’s more to the overall series than we think. 🤔
I will agree with you. "Laughing In The Dark" is a badass title for sure. You know until I started watching the series again - I didn't know the Carney was the dame actor as Vink. Even I learn and see new things ha ha ha
Bwah ha ha ha - now that you say that.... thats all I see 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support. Make sure to follow for more awesome videos coming very soon.
Dong Town ROFL. Man these episodes just brought back crazy childhood memories. Some of these episodes used to make me piss my self. Its fascinating watching them now and seeing how well or not they have held up.
These are the ones that hold up in my opinion... All good with a few good laughs in there - perfect for good watches today. The ones that didn't make the cut... well grab a good stiff drink and sit back and laugh your butt off cuz OH MAN ha ha ha. Thanks for watching 🔥

The one episode of Afraid of the Dark I remember revolved around some kind of Sketchbook that erased people from existence if you put their name into the book and then erased the name. Very similar to Death Note now that I think about it.
I think you might be thinking of the Tale Of Oblivion? Check out my newest video its in there and see if that is it. ruclips.net/video/IIsHPJWn7b0/видео.html

I think the episode about the boy who's in the play and the producer is a leprechaun and he has to say the chant and drink out of the deerskin canteen or whatever the thing is lol
I appreciate you talking about Sardo. I feel like he doesn't get enough love when people talk about Are You Afraid of The Dark. He was a favorite of mine.

@@Wild1Unknown i’m talking about the one on the hand lol 🙈 other than that I love this episode. I’ll probably have a marathon during the week of Halloween.
I don't know what the episode is called but that one where the librarian steals the kids voices 😱😱😱😱 (sorry if it's mentioned I'm only half way through the video but I'm hiding in the comments cuz I'm scared) editing to add - also the one where the girl gets trapped in the dollhouse... when the girls porcelain hand falls off 😰😰😰 I can't cope omg. this show was peak terror for 90s kids
Hah! Coincidentally I've only ever seen one episode of this show, picked just from a one sentence synopsis, and it was actually your number one pick! Good choice I think. EDIT: And the vampire is based on Count Orlok from Nosferatu.
You picked the the best one to watch for sure. Thanks for watching and supporting. Make sure to hit that SUB button for more awesome videos coming soon.
That is a great episode too - I love the treasure hunter and having to stay up to keep the demons away aspect. If I made a list of scary episodes... that would make it. The episodes I picked ( to me ) feel like strong episodes today for new fresh eyes. Thanks for watching and smash that SUB button for more awesome videos coming soon.
@@Wild1Unknown Cool. I just can't remember a single list ever mentioning it, and I wonder if it's sort of a forgotten episode, lost among the Ghastly Grinners, and Dead Man's Floats
I think that boils down to "remember-able characters or monster of the week". People remember Dr.Vink or Sardo and the monsters like the Jester... but the water demons were generic. So I think they get lost in the shuffle... At least thats what I think.
OK hear me out.... Its not a list of the scariest episodes but ones that till hold up today for re-watchers or new watchers. You are right, It is a good episode. If the list was only about scary episodes that would for sure make top 10. Lets see what you think of the top worst list: ruclips.net/video/IIsHPJWn7b0/видео.html
@@Wild1Unknown ok I hear you about episodes that still holds up today... BUT .... that episode gives a Salems Lot vibe and a staple of the series . It's one of those episodes that would fit any category except for anything related to the worst episode.. Im going to check out the video you linked .. I'm scared to 😂 but still a good video you made. Also we need more Are you afraid of the dark videos from you😀
I love your reasoning and you are right - It just barely didn't make the cut. Funny thing is - I was thinking of making one more video on AYAotD before Halloween. There is a really cool fact in that episode... so you would see it on that list. I am just worries no one would watch it with October almost being over ha ha ha
@@Wild1Unknown I say make it... Dont underestimate us AYAOTD fans. All we have our memories if you grew up watching on snick so I think it will be watched now just this month but for times to come🤗
Didn't miss - those just didn't make the cut for my personal list.... BUT I will agree with you... Those are great episodes too and new viewers will love them. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support. Make sure to follow for more awesome videos coming very soon.

Dawg !!!!! You didn’t put “The Tale of The Dream Girl” on this list 🤦🏽♂️ it’s better then the leprechaun episode 😂 and speaking of 90s babe’s Donna from that episode was the most beautiful thing I had seen in my life when I was in first grade 😂 at least you included my favorite episode of all time “The Tale of The Ghastly Grinner”
OK OK hear me out... That episodes is pure gold when it comes to story structure but its a slower burn.

OH man - I am jealous. Give them a peep and let me know what you think of the list and which episode becomes your favorite.
It’s never too late. Give them all a watch.

Thanks for the Support Buddy.
Pretty good choices here. 'The Tale of Badge' is excellent, too. One of the creepiest prosthetic makeup jobs
The tale of badge is great and you are right…. The makeup is top notch.
If you liked this video make sure to check out my top 10 worst episodes 😝
I can only recall 3 episodes anymore: The one where the ghost kid says he is cold and they find gold in the stove, the one where a kid gets his foot stuck in a spill way, and the nosferatu movie one.
I don't think I watched much beyond the 2nd season
Those are all remember-able ones for sure - Its fun to go back and watch them when you get a chance.

Good list. I remember from my childhood the episodes The Dead Mans float, Vampire Town, Midnight Madness, Night Shift, Old man Cokhran, and the one with the Werewolf 🐺
All the ones you listed are great watches. You should check out the BAD episodes list I made and see if you remember any of those ha ha ha

I have every episode ever made downloaded including the very hard to obtain clean copy of Watchers Woods! My favorite show ever as a kid and still watch them all today!
Oh hell ya - The only one I really hard a hard time finding was The Super Specs... episode. Thanks goodness for RUclips 🙃

Really great choices! One of the episodes that always stuck out to me was The Tale of Watchers Woods...I also loved the Tale of the Dream Girl 😍 just a beautiful story with a great ending... otherwise I highly agree with your choices!! 😄😄
Glad you liked my picks - they all bring back such good memories. If you like this video you might like my video on awesome things you didn't know about Are you afraid of the dark. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/w8qpWH7ncRU/видео.html
These are all great episodes. I also loved, the tale of old man Corcoran. Nothing like a little hide and seek in the graveyard!
I really like the twist ending in that episode.

Flashback to my Childhood. Very good Blast to the Past vid. I loved Laughing in the Dark! My roommate had never of the Afraid of the Dark series until I showed him that episode and did I mention he doesn't like clowns!😈
Glad you enjoyed it - Its fun to re-live your nostalgic vibes.

Yess! The pinball ep is a personal favorite of mine too!
Legit one of the best.

The Tale of Locker 22 is one I always return too…like many “Kristen” tales. I liked how most of her tales essentially said, you may think you know what the past was like, but you actually don’t…suspension of reality is needed but I think it holds valuable lessons for dealing with reality.
There were so many episodes with good stories and messages in them.
Deadmans Float absolutely scared the crap out of me. Tale of the shiny red bicycle always made me sad.
Both are memorable episodes for sure.

I didn't see much of AYAOTD as a kid (I was more of a Goosebumps girl) but the ONE episode I saw and really, really scared me was the ones with the Super Specs. The sight of those creepy hooded figures and the thought of them being there but being invisible gave me nightmares for weeks!
GB was great too - I think I will do that series at some point too. Super Specs is one of my all time favs - You picked a good one to watch!

The carnival barker isn't Zeebo, but I think he IS a doctor...
"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's winner, and still king of the cage... the Wolverine."
RIP Doc ❤
Loved Are you afraid of the Dark
Same - such a good show with so many memories.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support. Make sure to follow for more awesome videos coming very soon.
I love your number one but I think Zeebo is the absolute best. The title “laughing in the dark” is creepy, mysterious, eerie and scary. It works on so many levels. The man who might be Zeebos ghost is played by a shaved Dr Vink with a vuh vuh. Maybe there’s more to the overall series than we think. 🤔
I will agree with you. "Laughing In The Dark" is a badass title for sure.
You know until I started watching the series again - I didn't know the Carney was the dame actor as Vink. Even I learn and see new things ha ha ha
The basketball shadow people look like the Foot Clan lol
Bwah ha ha ha - now that you say that.... thats all I see 😂😂😂

Dong Town ROFL. Man these episodes just brought back crazy childhood memories. Some of these episodes used to make me piss my self. Its fascinating watching them now and seeing how well or not they have held up.
These are the ones that hold up in my opinion... All good with a few good laughs in there - perfect for good watches today.
The ones that didn't make the cut... well grab a good stiff drink and sit back and laugh your butt off cuz OH MAN ha ha ha.
Thanks for watching 🔥
The tale of the night shift was one that creeped me out when I was a kid.
That is a good one for sure - Make sure to check out the crappy Top 10 of are you afraid of the dark.

The one episode of Afraid of the Dark I remember revolved around some kind of Sketchbook that erased people from existence if you put their name into the book and then erased the name. Very similar to Death Note now that I think about it.
I think you might be thinking of the Tale Of Oblivion? Check out my newest video its in there and see if that is it.

Are you going to cover goosebumps too? :D
Oh yeah I will for sure (loved that show too)... Just not sure if I should do it soon. Or maybe wait of next October 😅
Tale of the Night Nurse always scared me
That is a great one - If I did a list of scary episodes that would make the cut for sure.
Rule #1: You lose.
Love that line ha ha ha

The tale of the fire ghost, and the tale of the dangerous soup
Both of those are great - I really like the Tale Of The Dangerous Soup... Dr. Vink for the win.
The tale of BAGDE was By far my favorite, the makeup on that episode was insanely creepy
That one is great - I like the make-up in that video and I like the way he talks too 😂😂😂

@@Wild1Unknown for sure
Thanks for the support 🔥
I think the episode about the boy who's in the play and the producer is a leprechaun and he has to say the chant and drink out of the deerskin canteen or whatever the thing is lol
That was one of my favorites
I appreciate you talking about Sardo. I feel like he doesn't get enough love when people talk about Are You Afraid of The Dark. He was a favorite of mine.
Legit one of the bests characters - even though he is in a few good episodes I wish he was in more. He was Iconic!

That’s sar -DOugh no mister accent on the dough. 😂
😂😂😂
Hell ya brother 😉
sardo was the best! i was so happy they carried his legacy on in the newer ones from a few years ago.
He was so good and remember-able. 🔥🔥🔥
The dollhouse one was freaky!!!
That is a good watch too PLUS the makeup on the doll design is steller. That was close to making my list but glad to see you appreciate it too
Thanks for watching and don't forget to hit that SUB button for more awesome videos dropping soon.
@@Wild1UnknownI loved the makeup on that one. It impresses me as an adult who works in that business!
They best part... it still holds up today... impressive.
lol i legit thought you were gonna segway into a antivirus ad in the beginning of video lol, also just wanted to say that the vampire is clearly based on Nosferatu design, which is why it looks so creepy.
DUUUUUUDDDEEEE... If I was doing sponsored content - that would have been the ultimate Segway. PURE GENIUS ha ha ha ha

You should consider doing a top 10 episodes that were a miss
I am! BUT the top ten good ones took a long time to edit.. so maybe I do a top five ha ha ha.

You’re awesome. And yes.
Thanks Buddy.
What was your favorite episode in the series?
That was a midi port or a game port also an Atari, eight bit computer joystick port sorry my Internet nerd couldn’t help himself 😅
But it had the tie-down screws on the left and right or are you talking about the one on the hand?
@@Wild1Unknown i’m talking about the one on the hand lol 🙈 other than that I love this episode. I’ll probably have a marathon during the week of Halloween.
@@Wild1Unknown The virus' hand had a parallel port, but Simon's hand had a 15-pin game port (or MIDI port).
Oh got ya buddy ha ha ha.
Do it - I watch a few leading up to Halloween. Its nostalgic fun at its best ha ha ha.
I don't know what the episode is called but that one where the librarian steals the kids voices 😱😱😱😱 (sorry if it's mentioned I'm only half way through the video but I'm hiding in the comments cuz I'm scared)
editing to add - also the one where the girl gets trapped in the dollhouse... when the girls porcelain hand falls off 😰😰😰 I can't cope omg. this show was peak terror for 90s kids
The tale of the quiet librarian and the tale of the doll maker 👌🏽 Good ones for sure .
^^^ This ^^^ They are good
Ha ha ha - The doll episode is very unique for sure
Hah! Coincidentally I've only ever seen one episode of this show, picked just from a one sentence synopsis, and it was actually your number one pick! Good choice I think.
EDIT: And the vampire is based on Count Orlok from Nosferatu.
You picked the the best one to watch for sure.

How does Tale of the Water Demons never make these lists? That episode seriously scared me as a kid.
That is a great episode too - I love the treasure hunter and having to stay up to keep the demons away aspect. If I made a list of scary episodes... that would make it. The episodes I picked ( to me ) feel like strong episodes today for new fresh eyes.
Thanks for watching and smash that SUB button for more awesome videos coming soon.
@@Wild1Unknown Cool. I just can't remember a single list ever mentioning it, and I wonder if it's sort of a forgotten episode, lost among the Ghastly Grinners, and Dead Man's Floats
I think that boils down to "remember-able characters or monster of the week". People remember Dr.Vink or Sardo and the monsters like the Jester... but the water demons were generic. So I think they get lost in the shuffle... At least thats what I think.
Legit take. Water demons is a great one though, I just watched it like 2 days ago lol
I must be blind... how the hell did "The tale of the night shift" didn't make it? Its one of the scariest episodes. I wanna speak to the manager
OK hear me out.... Its not a list of the scariest episodes but ones that till hold up today for re-watchers or new watchers. You are right, It is a good episode.
If the list was only about scary episodes that would for sure make top 10.
Lets see what you think of the top worst list: ruclips.net/video/IIsHPJWn7b0/видео.html
@@Wild1Unknown ok I hear you about episodes that still holds up today... BUT .... that episode gives a Salems Lot vibe and a staple of the series . It's one of those episodes that would fit any category except for anything related to the worst episode.. Im going to check out the video you linked .. I'm scared to 😂 but still a good video you made. Also we need more Are you afraid of the dark videos from you😀
I love your reasoning and you are right - It just barely didn't make the cut. Funny thing is - I was thinking of making one more video on AYAotD before Halloween.
There is a really cool fact in that episode... so you would see it on that list. I am just worries no one would watch it with October almost being over ha ha ha
@@Wild1Unknown I say make it... Dont underestimate us AYAOTD fans. All we have our memories if you grew up watching on snick so I think it will be watched now just this month but for times to come🤗
I say stay tuned and you might see something a little later today or tomorrow 😉
you missed the episode with the girl in the mirror and you missed the episode with the dollhouse. Also quicksilver.
Didn't miss - those just didn't make the cut for my personal list.... BUT I will agree with you... Those are great episodes too and new viewers will love them.

Dawg !!!!! You didn’t put “The Tale of The Dream Girl” on this list 🤦🏽♂️ it’s better then the leprechaun episode 😂 and speaking of 90s babe’s Donna from that episode was the most beautiful thing I had seen in my life when I was in first grade 😂 at least you included my favorite episode of all time “The Tale of The Ghastly Grinner”
OK OK hear me out... That episodes is pure gold when it comes to story structure but its a slower burn. The ones on my personal list hit the ground running and hold your attention from start to finish.
AND you at 100000% correct - Donna is a mega 90's babe... she is stunning 🔥🔥🔥

Phone Police. As a 12-year-old dipshit who didn't know any better, it seemed real enough to *actually* be somewhat plausible.
Flash forward a few decades, and I work for 9-1-1. Go figure.
