You gotta love how the chameleons are iguanas. My guess is because chameleons don't like being handled and are very easily stressed animals, while iguanas are friendlier and more comfortable with handling.
My fav thing about the show is when they have black actors but hardy. But the funny thing when it was a story on a black characters the actress character Kiki always told the story anyone else notices that? Also if their were black actors especially females there hair was normally long or finer hair. There was only one episode I can remember were there was a black girl with natural 4c hair type I believe she was in the one about the Egyptians also there was another black character actress with 4c hair type was on the mirror episodes with the old man trying to steal her youth. But these are just my thoughts watching it has a young person but over all major although scary. Not sure which was scariest goosebumps or are you afraid of the dark. And the fire ghost is scary as hell...🔥🎃😱
Chameleons has one of the cruelest twists in the show's history- Janice wasn't even a mean kid! 10:35: (mock annoyance) What you want, Colin? (lol couldn't resist, mate) Vacant Lot is one of my faves. Image of the librarian with the box always stuck with me as a kid too

So we have the cast of Arthur and the Magic School Bus...and Anakin Skywalker... Yeah, that's a bit of a hard juxtaposition there, innit? Lord knows if any of the DiC/Cloverway dub Sailor Moon cast appeared on this show, then we'd really go off the rails there.
Speaking about the cast of the Magic School Bus... Tucker (one of the members of the Midnight Society) is Carlos. Yes, the pun-loving Carlos. That's the true scariest thing about this show.
1:14 Small nitpick, but that's an iguana, not a chameleon. If it was a chameleon, it would have big bulging eyes, weird gripping hands with two toes in front and back, and a frill similar to a Triceratops and it's relatives. Plus they change color through emotions. 3:23 Oh wait never mind, you've addressed it.
As someone who never had cable as a kid, had to watch everything at a friend's house, and was incredibly obsessed with Ren and Stimpy at the time, I never fully appreciated the 90's live action series back then. And while Hey Dude still continues to bore me because I was never a 12 year old girl, I feel like I missed out on Are You Afraid of the Dark and the glorious madness of Pete and Pete. If nothing else, those shows are in a completely different existential plain than the utter garbage they've been churning out for the past 15 years. Henry Danger? A show that makes Teen Titans Go look like the original Teen Titans? Noooooo thank you. And that's their best one.
I always took what happened to Marie in the TALE OF THE VACANT LOT to be an act of Catherine's grandfather. All of that happens once she takes the ring that Catherine's grandfather gave her. To me it was his Spirit protecting his granddaughters
Honestly, I never got to watch it sadly but definitely interesting show if they were to reboot it. What should be the tone for stories in sense that each story should have should focused on monsters or maybe there’s villain will actually show kind foucuses on monsters magic objects and strange happenings. So I think something like that would be pretty cool but no CGI only if it’s absolutely necessary for like certain scenes, everything should be done in practical effects is honestly honestly that’s the charm of show. Would like to see some werewolf story like instead of a wolf like it’s another animal like a bear or something think about a wearbear OK that seems kind of stupid maybe like a wear raccoon
so maybe because of some of the voice actors from Magic Scool Bus being on Are you Afraid of the Dark might have been the inspiration for the live-action fanfic movie trailer where the class does go to hell (after Ms.Frizzle dies).
Hey Colin, if you’re a fan of this show, I HIGHLY recommend checking out a show from the early 2010’s called: R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour. It was a big part of my pre-teen life and is so, damn good. It has surprisingly mature themes and very eerie moments. Some of the scariest eps are (in my opinion): My Old House, Uncle Howee, Scarecrow and Grandpa’s Glasses. I personally consider it the Are You Afraid of the Dark? of the newer generation.
About the Tale of the Chameleons, those chameleons were actually Chinese water dragons. And turns out, Tamera played Janice and Tia was the Evil Chameleon
Nice video! You deserve more subscribers especially with the sesame street videos and muppet videos blowing up! I enjoy your content thanks for making it :)
i love this channel just because it has so many videos like this one but also videos of less covered more obscure videos/shows like timmy the tooth or things like commercials from my childhood like the frootloops commercials and why they have changed from when i remember them from the 90s as a kid or the count chocula commercials i used to see and why you never see them anymore even their cereal which has become an october only type of item like halloween candy and other such holiday only items like egg nog keep up the great vids man even if your channel never blows up you are doing the rest of of us nostalgic 90s kids a big favor :P
I know this gets compared to Goosebumps a lot, but the stories remind me more of Bruce Coville's books, especially that magic shop series. It feels like season one of the XFiles too, with the way its shot (and they're both filmed in Canada).
The one about the house were the Lil girl lives in and her mother is the nanny. But the cousin is just mean to the another cousin. But I can't think of the name. But that is a good bc the Lil ghost is trap in the mirror of the old house.
Awesome video!!!! I was eight years old when Are You Afraid of the Dark first aired in 1992 on Saturday nights as part of SNICK, and to this day is one of my all-time favorites!!!
Wow. If i had a nickel for every black-skined girl named "Connie", i would have two nickles. Wich it isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?
I understand why you didn't, but man, I was hoping you'd shout out Brooke Nevin in The Tale of Bigfoot Ridge. She played "Rachel" in the Animorphs TV show. It wasn't a great show but she and the rest of the cast gave their all to it. The issues were with the writing, editing, and effects.

OK, who invited the Duke of owls here? On a sidenote, that is a really funny reference to rock doodle twiddle Dee Dee they’re running out of batteries for that flashlight. And I just wanna point this out so a lot of nocturnal creatures have a fear of light since many of them sleep in the day owls are kind of an exception since well they’re not afraid of the lights since sometimes they’re out in the day, but not all the time it’s mainly the bright light that they don’t like that. You know I think about it. It would’ve been cool to have an episode with an owl as the antagonist like essentially like it’s monster owl or maybe it’s like a statue, but it starts to come to life and it’s weakness is bright beam of light to the eyes. Something like that would’ve been cool.
I didn't watch Are You Afraid of the Dark? that much because I was a big wussy as a kid. I did watch it sometimes, and there were definitely a lot of scary stories that stuck with me. I feel like Goosebumps definitely freaked me out more, though.
Can I just say I am big fan of the show but this is scary I can only watch the dvds I have now in the morning lol. I just season 1 through 3 or 4 I believe. But I hardy watch them lol. But th8s is my childhood show.
I remember for the longest time there was this one scene in brain where this girl summons like a demon thing and she tries to use a spoon to get rid of it cause she thought the spoon was "silver" but I wasnt and I tried to find this scene for the LONGEST time. I'm so glad I know what it is now.....and I'm telling you it took me like 10 years to find this...

Oh the music in are you afraid of the dark the intro and ending music especially the ending music still don't set right with until this day. Lol. I hate the music creepy lol.
I never really watch AYAOTD as I normally like animation but this countdown is pretty cool, btw is the Headless horseman episode a little foreshadowing when you get to the Disney one ?
And the goosebumps episodes of the old clock yes in dee that Lil girl is just awful. I like end were he still have to go back in time to get the sister but he has 2nd thoughts n it ends there. So we never learned if he is going to get her back or not lol.
You gotta love how the chameleons are iguanas. My guess is because chameleons don't like being handled and are very easily stressed animals, while iguanas are friendlier and more comfortable with handling.
Yeaaaa...im 32 and I just noticed that shit smh lol This was my favorite show.
And yet ironically it's kinda in between. Iguanas can be extremely rude and dangerous to handle whereas Chameleons are kinda eh-ish just more delicate
My fav thing about the show is when they have black actors but hardy. But the funny thing when it was a story on a black characters the actress character Kiki always told the story anyone else notices that? Also if their were black actors especially females there hair was normally long or finer hair. There was only one episode I can remember were there was a black girl with natural 4c hair type I believe she was in the one about the Egyptians also there was another black character actress with 4c hair type was on the mirror episodes with the old man trying to steal her youth. But these are just my thoughts watching it has a young person but over all major although scary. Not sure which was scariest goosebumps or are you afraid of the dark.
And the fire ghost is scary as hell...🔥🎃😱

The chamelion episode was straight up murder. Thats hardcore for a kids show
So we have the cast of Arthur and the Magic School Bus...and Anakin Skywalker...
Yeah, that's a bit of a hard juxtaposition there, innit? Lord knows if any of the DiC/Cloverway dub Sailor Moon cast appeared on this show, then we'd really go off the rails there.
Speaking about the cast of the Magic School Bus... Tucker (one of the members of the Midnight Society) is Carlos. Yes, the pun-loving Carlos. That's the true scariest thing about this show.
1:14 Small nitpick, but that's an iguana, not a chameleon. If it was a chameleon, it would have big bulging eyes, weird gripping hands with two toes in front and back, and a frill similar to a Triceratops and it's relatives. Plus they change color through emotions. 3:23 Oh wait never mind, you've addressed it.
As someone who never had cable as a kid, had to watch everything at a friend's house, and was incredibly obsessed with Ren and Stimpy at the time, I never fully appreciated the 90's live action series back then. And while Hey Dude still continues to bore me because I was never a 12 year old girl, I feel like I missed out on Are You Afraid of the Dark and the glorious madness of Pete and Pete. If nothing else, those shows are in a completely different existential plain than the utter garbage they've been churning out for the past 15 years. Henry Danger? A show that makes Teen Titans Go look like the original Teen Titans? Noooooo thank you. And that's their best one.
I always took what happened to Marie in the TALE OF THE VACANT LOT to be an act of Catherine's grandfather. All of that happens once she takes the ring that Catherine's grandfather gave her. To me it was his Spirit protecting his granddaughters
Interesting theory, I’d never thought of this.
17:02 i have the IQ of a sea slug I'm pretty I would go to the shop again
Goosebumps ain't got nothing on this.
What a throwback, this show was dope back in the 90s
This is one of the few shows from my childhood that I haven't revisited, because I don't want to be disappointed, but it looks like it still holds up.
Honestly, I never got to watch it sadly but definitely interesting show if they were to reboot it. What should be the tone for stories in sense that each story should have should focused on monsters or maybe there’s villain will actually show kind foucuses on monsters magic objects and strange happenings. So I think something like that would be pretty cool but no CGI only if it’s absolutely necessary for like certain scenes, everything should be done in practical effects is honestly honestly that’s the charm of show.

Most of the monsters/anomalies in are you afraid of the dark and goosebumps could pretty much be scps
About the Tale of the Chameleons, those chameleons were actually Chinese water dragons. And turns out, Tamera played Janice and Tia was the Evil Chameleon
You know, Daniel DeSanto and Rachel Wilson stared in Total Drama.
Nice video! You deserve more subscribers especially with the sesame street videos and muppet videos blowing up! I enjoy your content thanks for making it :)
these episodes haft to be in this video
the tale of the ghastly grinner
the tale of the midnight ride
the
and the tale of the renegade virus
The Quicksilver episode is seriously underrated
Looking Back on the Disney Catalog
When's Part 2 coming?
Here you go: m.ruclips.net/video/Svx5qRTvuRw/видео.html
i love this channel just because it has so many videos like this one but also videos of less covered more obscure videos/shows like timmy the tooth or things like commercials from my childhood like the frootloops commercials and why they have changed from when i remember them from the 90s as a kid or the count chocula commercials i used to see and why you never see them anymore even their cereal which has become an october only type of item like halloween candy and other such holiday only items like egg nog
keep up the great vids man even if your channel never blows up you are doing the rest of of us nostalgic 90s kids a big favor :P
29:47 Thanks for sharing this fact.
Also, Gordon Masten (Mr. Collins) died in July.
Can you do some of the goosebumps episodes and RL new series episodes.
I know this gets compared to Goosebumps a lot, but the stories remind me more of Bruce Coville's books, especially that magic shop series. It feels like season one of the XFiles too, with the way its shot (and they're both filmed in Canada).

Awesome video!!!! I was eight years old when Are You Afraid of the Dark first aired in 1992 on Saturday nights as part of SNICK, and to this day is one of my all-time favorites!!!
SNICK was awesomeeeee .. I was 5 in 1992 , they don’t make TV like they used to back in the 90’s
The main girl in Bigfoot Ridge was also Rachel in the Nickelodeon Animorphs series.
Wow. If i had a nickel for every black-skined girl named "Connie", i would have two nickles. Wich it isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?
I understand why you didn't, but man, I was hoping you'd shout out Brooke Nevin in The Tale of Bigfoot Ridge. She played "Rachel" in the Animorphs TV show. It wasn't a great show but she and the rest of the cast gave their all to it. The issues were with the writing, editing, and effects.
That one episode with the red ghost in the pool scared the crap outta me as a kid. All the others were funny, though.
The twisted claw episode was told by Dave after the third episode the tale of the lonely ghost

That dog with the eyes still makes my skin crawl and media usually doesn’t do that to me
Colin, did you know that chameleons and iguanas are lizards?
The chameleons are using the copy copy fruit
I didn't watch Are You Afraid of the Dark? that much because I was a big wussy as a kid. I did watch it sometimes, and there were definitely a lot of scary stories that stuck with me. I feel like Goosebumps definitely freaked me out more, though.
This is my favorite show of all time. I grew up in the 90’s and this show was a staple in my household
Can I just say I am big fan of the show but this is scary I can only watch the dvds I have now in the morning lol. I just season 1 through 3 or 4 I believe. But I hardy watch them lol. But th8s is my childhood show.
Jay Baruchel appears in "The Tale of the Dead Man's Float."
If you forget that would be a hiccup (drumbeat)
Krook's March from DKC2 in #31
Welp, I'm first. Huh. Too bad it's hard to think before school.
Indeed.
Kirk doesn't like snow, it gets everywhere
26:45-26:50 Even if he had all the time he needed.
neat video! I love this show as a child! P.S. I hate the episode the tale of the Gruesome Gourmets!
Fire ghost is scary as hell. 😮😮
Quick sliver was scary too.

Oh the music in are you afraid of the dark the intro and ending music especially the ending music still don't set right with until this day. Lol. I hate the music creepy lol.
The tale of the shinny red byscle is my favorite episode of the sereies. Well that is, until I see season 4, 5, 7
I never really watch AYAOTD as I normally like animation but this countdown is pretty cool, btw is the Headless horseman episode a little foreshadowing when you get to the Disney one ?
Old school nick and old Disney Channel was the best I missed the 90s and early 200s.
i was wondering why he only did one part of this video, but i didn't see the date til' now xD good thing i didn't ask why he only did one part..
the scene where the horseman rides out of his shadow reminds me of a similar scene in Jim Carrey's a Christmas Carol
That Krook's March in the background is _~chefs kiss~_
I remember the later seasons when the kids change the show was not good. Best seasons is 1 through 5 I believe.
Jewel Staite also played Becca Fisher in Flash Forward and Catalina in early seasons of Space Cases
I remember being afraid of looking into a flame after the first ghost episode... I kind of still avoid doing it to this day.
The unfinished painting one she plays in watcher wood right too.
Good video are you afraid of the dark is my favorite show
The girl lori play in a few fam matter episodes
Do remember some episodes being silly not scary lol.
Mushrooms soup I never eat that soup again lol🍜
Purge anyone in the twisted claw
Twisted claw was creepy lol
And the goosebumps episodes of the old clock yes in dee that Lil girl is just awful. I like end were he still have to go back in time to get the sister but he has 2nd thoughts n it ends there. So we never learned if he is going to get her back or not lol.
Huh?
