If you guys likes this video well you’re in luck cause I just ranked all the episodes of Haunting Hour ruclips.net/video/usoXiluXp68/видео.htmlsi=qiytuw1Eblza3ROy
The lonely ghost episode terrified me as a child. The idea of bullies chasing a mute girl, and locking her into a room, where she slowly starved to death. It gave me nightmares.
"The Tale of the Frozen Ghost" is the episode that still sticks with me all these years later, just something about the way the ghost keeps repeating "I'm cold" just really creeped me out as a kid.
Agree! I was a kid when watching these episodes and our house bordered the woods, so I would frequent walking around there; after watching that episode as a kid, and walking in the woods, I had the shivers that I would turn around and see a ghost boy. I know it's silly since it was so long ago, but it's one of the episodes that just stuck with me.
Exactly. I don't remember a lot from this series except for a few things, and this creepy kid just standing there saying "I'm cold." is one of them. It's a really memorable episode for me.
@@sharonrivers9920my favorite episodes are… the tale of the bookish babysitter, the tale of the 13th floor, the tale of the dead man’s float, the tale of laughing in the dark
That is one I remember from childhood, and as for the 90s camera tricks they are using, they are more of an homage to Sam Raimi who is bot scary and cheesy.
The Tale of the Frozen Ghost is one of the episodes that stuck with me. I don't think you're giving that spooky child ghost enough credit. I used to tease my sister by standing outside her bedroom door when it was closed and saying "I'm cold".
The Night Shift was shot after Badge, but Badge aired after Night Shift. So, Night Shift was always intended to be the final episode and the 65 is a reference to the series, with "the door closing," like a book would close. Source: I talked a little bit with DJ McHale about 2 years ago.
Okay, I agree with a lot of your takes, especially the repeating "emotional ghost story" thing. However, there is one thing in this video I would like to correct. In "The Tale of the Mystic Mirror," you asked why the witch couldn't just get three dogs from the pound, instead of turning the girls into dogs. But if you listen to what she says, her spell requires "three tongues of dogs who spoke as women fare," meaning three dogs who were once beautiful women
How could u put the tale of the chameleon up that high.. as someone who watched AYAOTD religiously in my youth that is 1 of the stories that stuck with me throughout my life. That shit was terrifying. I still bring up that episode as an adult.
Ya, lost any credibility when I heard/saw how high the best episode of the series is. It's original af, and somehow placed higher than the recycled ghost stories. 😂
Oh man. I gotta say. I grew up in the 90s, I’m almost 34 now, and the Crimson Clown episode still haunts me to this day. Glad to see it rank so high on your list, which is very well done! ✨
The tale of the prom queen was my all-time fav episode of the show. It is based on the concept of hitchhiking ghost stories, and to me, it is the best adaption of one. The twist at the end was probably the best as well.
I was a big fan of “the tale of the shiny red bicycle” personally. I watched that during my childhood and it stuck with me ever since. It to me just had excellent writing. From the dialogue of the midnight society, to the story itself. It just hits on a higher level.
"Or you need background noise while you write your essay" I was half-listening while writing a school essay, heard that line, and felt called out as fuck
I like watching long videos when they are super engaging. There's plenty of hour or even more then an hour long videos that I will rewatch endlessly and never get tired of
It never really occurred to me how many emotional ghost story episodes there are. But the fact that emotional ghost stories are my favourite type of horror and that I grew up watching Are You Afraid of the Dark can't be a coincidence.
Yes! Curious Camera is absolutely Say Cheese and Die. No lie there. However, there is no conversation to be had on which came first. Both were inspired by the episode A Most Unusual Camera from the original Twilight Zone back in the 60s. In fact a lot of Twilight Zone episodes were inspiration for AYAOTD and for Goosebumps. Which probably explains why both shows were so good.
Thanks for taking the time to prepare this list and review each episode. The fact you didn't really watch it as a kid definitely gives you a unique perspective as many of us grew up on the show and were thus terrified of it. Still, you had a great balance of different episode types all the way to the top. The only odd picks were putting The Chameleons, Laughing In The Dark and The Ghastly Grinner so low. The Grinner especially is a common fan favourite but of course taste is subjective.
The Tale of Quicksilver and Tale of the Water Demons petrified me as a kid. Demonic entities coming through the walls? Demons that drown you if you take trinkets from their grave? Kid me was TERRIFIED. And Tale of the Super Specs?! I've been terrified of shadow creatures since I was a kid and that episode did not help my fear. Watching AYAOTD for the first time as an adult isn't going to give you the childhood trauma. I watched AYAOTD long before Goosebumps even came out and the latter was never scary. It was like...baby's AYAOTD for me. EDIT: I am ridiculously happy The Tale of the Shiny Red Bicycle was your no. 1. It was my favorite episode as a kid because of how it handled death. And watching it as an adult who blamed herself for her brother's death (since come to terms there was nothing I could have done), it hit even harder, to the point it makes me cry, now. 😅
Your Goosebumps video was how I found you. I'm so glad I was recommended your channel. Your videos have always been a treat to watch. I honestly can't believe that it's been a year! Hopefully more people can find you with this vid!
Tale of the Dream Girl is the best episode of the series. Even if the twist is predictable to post-Sixth Sense audiences, it's still pretty emotionally powerful. I've fortunately never lost a sibling, but I have lost two cousins. One very close, another not really at all. And a best friend who was basically a brother. I've had dreams about him where he's alive, having come back, but only for a time before he has to leave. The scene where the girl finally reveals to her brother what happened and has to let him go hits right in the feels. I can only imagine this episode resonates with kids who've lost a sibling pretty strongly.
Was pleasantly surprised when you decided to do this. Never get tired of your videos. Clearly the best thing to do is watch the goosebumps and then this one back to back as a double feature on Halloween.
This show made me who i am. Born in the late 80s. I cant remember any birthday i had as a kid, but i can tell you exactly what was going on saturday night. Snick with All That and AYAOTD. Legendary
As someone who grew up with this series, Zeebo the Clown was classic because it played all the time, I swear I saw that story 20 million times, and I'm not afraid of clowns, it's not scary, but it's iconic of the series from my POV. That said, I forgot about Zeebo the Clown for 20+ years, so, thanks, I think, for reminding me.
Holy crap man, amazing video. Nice to see someone talk about part of my childhood. It feels like for some reaosn in the late 90's to early 2000's Canadian children's entertainment was obsessed with spooky weird anthologies. Two of my faves was the cartoon "Tales form the Cryptkeeper" and "Freaky Stories". It's kind of nice to see the return/redemption of the kind of horror comics and themes that caused early comic books to be censored amid a moral outrage about the depravity of "horror comics". I watched a great video about the history and tragedy of the early American horror comics industry and how it was the genesis of a demand for "adult" content in comic mediums. One major result was the creation of MAD Magazine since magazines were exempt from the comics code. When I heard that it made so much sense to me because I've read early MAD comics and their style was so often that kind of realistic pop-art style that horror comics used.
Personally I think you were too harsh on this show. Early 90s especially, Basically no Internet, many people were just starting to get used to having voicemail for their landline. These stories were scary as heck. Ghosts and aliens where as popular as ever and for me being around five at the time, The chef scarred me. I still occasionally think about some of the episodes and it freaks me out that night lol It might seem slow now but in my humble opinion, people had better attention spans back then. Not everything had to be bright colored, fast paced and loud to hold peoples interest. And for a lot of its shortcomings, it was made for Teenagers. So it’s still a kid show at the end of the day
I'll always have a soft spot for "The Tale of the Lonely Ghost" since we had a SNICK tape and that was the episode on it and I watched it a ton growing up.
I was becoming worried when I didn't see your #1 pick's title and then to find out my favorite is #1? I'm thrilled!! Also, the Frozen Ghost saying "I'm.. cold.." has stuck with me for decades!
Bro, this is excellent. I only saw 1 episode of this show as a kid (the soup one that took place 15), and watched this video intending just to see where that episode landed. But I found your content so entertaining that I watched this entire hour and a half. I know this is a year old, but thanks for the legit content, homie
The fact that the kid took the deal though. No lesson, no moral, no making up for a mistake, the kid just goes there. That episode showed something that we all knew growing up, that adults forget about: Kids can turn evil too, and when they do, it's scary.
Growing up this was one of my favorite tv shows. Saturday night at 9:30 on Snick. Theres a bunch of episodes that have stuck in my brain since I was a kid. I'll say it was definitely one of the things that ushered in my lifelong love of horror.
I love this show but watched this entire thing in one sitting to see if you ranked Shiny Red Bicycle high on the list. As a child the ghostly boy terrified me, it's one of the few episodes that I clearly remembered into adulthood. And as an adult I've watched it back and it's actually the best storyline of the entire series. Glad you gave it a fantastic ranking.
Absolutely fantastic job on this, dude! I heavily enjoyed the Goosebumps video and I had been looking forward to this for a while! I know people are already recommending it, but the original Twilight Zone run would be cool to visit. Great choices on music, great editing, great commentary, I'm happy this came out!
The makeup in BADGE creeped me out as a kid so bad it stuck with me. The way the prosthetics moved made appearances in my nightmares. I ended up becoming fascinated with special effects makeup and went to school for it. It’s an underrated one for me, since it quite literally changed the trajectory of my life. Without it I wouldn’t have my cosmetology license or 4 of my closest friends.
I would like to go on record saying that Nosferatu IS legitimately scary. And that clip from “Midnight Madness” of the long-fingered hand reaching around the door frame haunted my childhood nightmares.
I loved this!!! I would have put The Dark Music as number one but that’s just my personal fave of the series. I loved the breakdown of every episode and it took me back big time. Thanks for this
I think if you’d have watched this as a kid some of your lower episodes would have been higher. The tale of the frozen ghost should be higher imo.. I’m cold still pops in my head every now and then. Plus Melissa Joan hart was in it. I wish I could be a kid and rewatch AYAOTD all over again it’s what got me into horror
I can definitely tell that you didn't watch it when you was a kid. Ghastly Grinner is a classic. I disagreed with most but I also appreciate the video and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Watching it when it was still on TV definitely hit differently. Use to watch in my grandmother's room hidden under her blankets, while reassuring her I would sleep fine that night. Might have been because I was 7, but I like to believe the show was just that good on the first watch.
the quicksilver episode scared me to death as a kid every time i got sick i would look for a Q on the wall and think he is going to come out of my walls!
The Shiny Red Bicycle at Number 1. Now that is something I can actually agree with. You don't really need to have a particularly scary episode to be the best episode of the show. That story could really happen. Some kid could be killed in an accident with a furious waterfall. And a friend could actually be in-blame about the death. The realism of that happening makes it really effin' good!
This video was a real nostalgia trip. There were so many times I thought to myself: "Oh, yeah, I remember that." Although I do find it funny that of the handful of episodes I did remember even before watching the video, 3 of them (Frozen Ghost, Captured Souls, and Phantom Cab) were all near the bottom while only 1 (Pinball Wizard) was near the top.
The gasoline grinner at the spot you have it on is terribly underrated. Also, I'm still watching at number 46 and I hope tale of Dead Man's float is in the top five
The dang alien episode still haunts me as an adult. Something about the faceless design just always gets to me. Same with the funeral scene where the kid is confronting his dead uncle. These scenes have just haunted me forever and even rewatching the show as an adult I'm still just as taken by these scenes XD
God bless you for this upload. Keep making videos and I GUARANTEE that in some amount of time you will have many thousands of subscribers Love you Colin- from another Colin
At 47:06 that statement got me hard. I remember at my “elementary” school it went up to 6th Grade. I was friends with 2 of them due to me having a DS and a Wii because we used to play together during Summer Daycare. When I had gotten into 7th Grade, they saw me and made me go wait in this old house in their neighborhood. So I did and we’re still great friends. I do remember being scared shitless because their was a Cuckoo Clock in the house and it sounded like a Raven cawing.
I grew up with this show. I loved the ghost episodes. The Quicksilver episode freaked me out, and the chameleon episode always spooked me because evil won. Surprise, locker 22 was so low. It was one of my favorites.
I grew up watching these episodes so it is probably different watching these as a kid vs. an adult but some of these episodes (e.g. laughing in the dark, prom queen) rank way higher for me
Really loved all 3 of these style of videos! Hopefully you decide to cover the rest of the episodes sometime. I always loved watching goosebumps growing up. Keep it up man!
I agree 100% with keeping it from 91-96 that’s what I grew up watching and those are the “original” episodes.. the 99-2000’s are not part of the original series and I never cared for them
Old Man Mcorcoran at 30? When I watched it when I was little, I thought it was at least top 10 episodes, I watched this show religiously then and sometimes now and again. And that episode always stuck with me
my favorite was tale of the lonely ghost also the saddest. the only thing i wish the lonely ghost story did was expose the people who killed the girl because after the episode i realized they bullies who killed her got away with her murder and they are out there free now grown up and she didnt get to have a life because of them
It sucks you didn’t include the revival episodes because The Tale of the Silver Sight is one of my favorites. It’s a three part episode where the characters themselves are part of a ghost story, and tying back to their grandparents’ “Midnight Society” from the 1930s
The unexpected visitor was one of my favorites and I love how it’s one of those misunderstandings tales that would usually end with a “sorry we won’t do it again” only here the two continue to broadcast their jam sessions out into space to talk with their new alien friend. It’s very heartwarming.
The one ware the old man robbed riches from the ships. He gave back the things he still had from ships. The problem was he sold alot of it. That's how he got rich. The gave the gosts things he bought with $ from the ship recks. The one with music aliens. The kid sent a message that sounded like we are toys. The boy alien thought we were just toys.
I literally just came from watching the goosebumps video and was looking for an are you afraid of the dark ranking and was so happy to see you had one!

Same!!
The intro did it for me every time

I agree i'm 36 years old, and I still have an irrational fear of walking through the woods and seeing a child saying i'm cold.
The Night Shift was shot after Badge, but Badge aired after Night Shift. So, Night Shift was always intended to be the final episode and the 65 is a reference to the series, with "the door closing," like a book would close.

CORRECT!
Yeah on paramount badge is episode 11 and night shift is episode 17 of the 5th season
The Nigh Shift has always been my favorite episode as well, really creeped me out as a kid
Okay, I agree with a lot of your takes, especially the repeating "emotional ghost story" thing. However, there is one thing in this video I would like to correct.

I'm not sure that's exactly a compliment. Lol. Give u half credit.
With Nightly Neighbours, the twist is the son’s the head vampire. That’s not predictable IMO.
The execution was predictable, but not the actual twist, so I can see where he's coming fro.

Uh huh.
Love Goosebumps, but AYAOTD wins.

The Haunting Hour is really good and quite underrated. It had some of the best and scariest episodes for a kids horror anthology series.

Quicksilver and the one with the red zombie thing coming out of the school pool freaked me out bad as a kid. Gave me horrific nightmares.

Yeah I was shocked the Quicksilver was rated so poorly. It was a great episode.
@cassychesser 100%
And he didn't even mention the beginning how the girl burned alive trapped in her room by the demon. It's easily a top 25 episode
The one with the Pool Ghost was called “The Tale of the Dead Man’s Float”
The plethora of actors that did time on AYAOTD…. It was a gift.
I would like to go on record saying that Nosferatu IS legitimately scary. And that clip from “Midnight Madness” of the long-fingered hand reaching around the door frame haunted my childhood nightmares.
I loved this!!! I would have put The Dark Music as number one but that’s just my personal fave of the series. I loved the breakdown of every episode and it took me back big time. Thanks for this
I think if you’d have watched this as a kid some of your lower episodes would have been higher. The tale of the frozen ghost should be higher imo.. I’m cold still pops in my head every now and then. Plus Melissa Joan hart was in it. I wish I could be a kid and rewatch AYAOTD all over again it’s what got me into horror
Just commented about that episode! I can still hear the ghosts voice saying "I'm cold" in my head all these years later!
Zebo used to scare that bejeezus outta me
dead man's float hands down! that water spirit gave me nightmares for weeks after!
I can definitely tell that you didn't watch it when you was a kid. Ghastly Grinner is a classic. I disagreed with most but I also appreciate the video and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Watching it when it was still on TV definitely hit differently. Use to watch in my grandmother's room hidden under her blankets, while reassuring her I would sleep fine that night. Might have been because I was 7, but I like to believe the show was just that good on the first watch.
Yea same, I watched it as a kid. I disagree with most of this list
the quicksilver episode scared me to death as a kid every time i got sick i would look for a Q on the wall and think he is going to come out of my walls!
Whoever did that copyright claim on the last segment needs to take a good long look at themselves in the mirror
The Shiny Red Bicycle at Number 1. Now that is something I can actually agree with. You don't really need to have a particularly scary episode to be the best episode of the show. That story could really happen. Some kid could be killed in an accident with a furious waterfall. And a friend could actually be in-blame about the death. The realism of that happening makes it really effin' good!
I'm. Cold.
is it me or is the ending theme to "Are you afraid of the dark " kind of a bop.
This video was a real nostalgia trip. There were so many times I thought to myself: "Oh, yeah, I remember that."
Although I do find it funny that of the handful of episodes I did remember even before watching the video, 3 of them (Frozen Ghost, Captured Souls, and Phantom Cab) were all near the bottom while only 1 (Pinball Wizard) was near the top.
"a bunch of ghost train bullshit" is my favorite line from this episode, nice work on the video!
Zebo scared the shit out of me as a 5th grader... I guess you'd have to be there.
Quicksilver was the scariest episode to me as a kid. I legit would stay up at night because dehydrated Emperor Palpatine there scared me so much
I totally agree! It’s so anxiety inducing and dramatic
wow.. incredible. My fav kids show of all time.. great stuff man.
The gasoline grinner at the spot you have it on is terribly underrated. Also, I'm still watching at number 46 and I hope tale of Dead Man's float is in the top five
Man, those copyright bots make no sense. They will claim some eps, but not others. Seems totally arbitrary.
yeah exactly! And they didn't even claim the part where I used audio from the show?? it's completely random
The dang alien episode still haunts me as an adult. Something about the faceless design just always gets to me. Same with the funeral scene where the kid is confronting his dead uncle. These scenes have just haunted me forever and even rewatching the show as an adult I'm still just as taken by these scenes XD
God bless you for this upload. Keep making videos and I GUARANTEE that in some amount of time you will have many thousands of subscribers
Love you Colin- from another Colin
here's hoping to the thousands of subscribers, and cheers brother
Finally I’ve waited so long for this
At 47:06 that statement got me hard. I remember at my “elementary” school it went up to 6th Grade. I was friends with 2 of them due to me having a DS and a Wii because we used to play together during Summer Daycare. When I had gotten into 7th Grade, they saw me and made me go wait in this old house in their neighborhood. So I did and we’re still great friends. I do remember being scared shitless because their was a Cuckoo Clock in the house and it sounded like a Raven cawing.
oh wow that's actually really tight, I thought it was just some niche children's horror thing
Ghastly grimmer terrified me more than any. I couldn’t watch it anymore after that episode. I had nightmares for weeks as a kid.
I grew up with this show. I loved the ghost episodes. The Quicksilver episode freaked me out, and the chameleon episode always spooked me because evil won. Surprise, locker 22 was so low. It was one of my favorites.
I grew up watching these episodes so it is probably different watching these as a kid vs. an adult but some of these episodes (e.g. laughing in the dark, prom queen) rank way higher for me
Really loved all 3 of these style of videos! Hopefully you decide to cover the rest of the episodes sometime. I always loved watching goosebumps growing up. Keep it up man!
Ah, this is where you've been. I missed ya. Yes you're Goosebumps video is how I found the channel.
I agree 100% with keeping it from 91-96 that’s what I grew up watching and those are the “original” episodes.. the 99-2000’s are not part of the original series and I never cared for them
Hungry Hounds is hands down the one that has always stuck with me, and I watched it when it first aired, and I was in...junior high, I believe.
The two that stand out as being ranked too low are The Quicksilver and The Ghastly Grinner. Cause yeah, it wasn't just the makeup.
Old Man Mcorcoran at 30? When I watched it when I was little, I thought it was at least top 10 episodes, I watched this show religiously then and sometimes now and again. And that episode always stuck with me
Lonely Ghost scared the shit out of me when i was a kid. At the first commercial break, that is.
I just found your goosebumps episode like a few days ago it was fantastic imo. Excited about this one
perfect timing, some people have been waiting for a full year for this one
ALSO I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU PUT DREAM GIRL SO LOW. I CRY EVERY TIME.
my favorite was tale of the lonely ghost also the saddest. the only thing i wish the lonely ghost story did was expose the people who killed the girl because after the episode i realized they bullies who killed her got away with her murder and they are out there free now grown up and she didnt get to have a life because of them
BROOOOOO LETS GOOOOO I love your content so much thank you for spending your time on a masterpiece like this
thanks for the support man
@@SimplyColin np man keep it up!
It sucks you didn’t include the revival episodes because The Tale of the Silver Sight is one of my favorites. It’s a three part episode where the characters themselves are part of a ghost story, and tying back to their grandparents’ “Midnight Society” from the 1930s
Silver Sight might collectively be my favorite episode.
The unexpected visitor was one of my favorites and I love how it’s one of those misunderstandings tales that would usually end with a “sorry we won’t do it again” only here the two continue to broadcast their jam sessions out into space to talk with their new alien friend. It’s very heartwarming.
7:07, you can tell by the leather jacket here…… I lost it! 🤣🤣🤣
Hell yea deadman’s float is my favorite so happy to see it so high on your list
Hell yes. I LOOOOOOOOOVED this show as a kid. It was my entry to Horror
Hey, we all missed you, but I'm glad you could make another long video, and hopefully you'll be back to regular uploads
oh yeah most definitely gonna be going back to a regular schedule now that I got the big Halloween special out of the way
The chameleon episode scared the shit out of me as a kid I thought I was gonna be turned into a chameleon one day
As a kid, that's super spooky, but as an adult, I think I'd welcome the chameleon life, haha.
The one ware the old man robbed riches from the ships. He gave back the things he still had from ships. The problem was he sold alot of it. That's how he got rich. The gave the gosts things he bought with $ from the ship recks. The one with music aliens. The kid sent a message that sounded like we are toys. The boy alien thought we were just toys.
In production order Night Shift is the last episode
James Scott, the older brother from boy meets world in the first episode there’s a lot of kid stars in this show
I literally just came from watching the goosebumps video and was looking for an are you afraid of the dark ranking and was so happy to see you had one!
This video has brought back so many memories of growing up watching this show. The Pinball Wizard was my favorite episode.
Dude Gwen did not release badge from his box. It was technically her brother and she didn’t even know about her powers
