Are you afraid of the dark?


'Are you afraid of the dark?' is a TV series produced between 1991-1996, and 1999-2000. It run for seven season with 13 episodes each. The story evolves around supernatural and horror stories told by several members of Midnight Society, who were five or six teenagers with different backgrounds and lifestyles.

As their leader said, 'we don't go to the same school, we have different friends, but what draw us together is, the Dark': each episode run a story told by one member, in front of campfire at midnight. Most of the stories aren't that original (featuring ghost, goblins, vampires, ghouls. haunted mementos, etc), however some are quite new in term of ideas. The most appealing things about it are the way the story told and how the it happened to average teenagers, just like us. Well, us several years ago ;D

I happen to stumble on this series and apparently I like it a lot. It's a refreshment in this era where everything is all about sci-fi, detective and forensic science, cover model vampires and werewolves, or mumbo-jumbo cougar ladies soap operas. This is like coming back when everything was so simple: classic.
