SlashedHorror takes a look back at the children’s 90’s horror sensation that was, Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Are You Afraid of the Dark? is a children’s horror anthology series that originally aired in the 1990s and became a cult classic for its spooky storytelling. The show centers on a group of teens known as “The Midnight Society,” who gather around a campfire in the woods to share eerie tales. Each episode begins with one member tossing a handful of “midnight dust” into the fire and declaring, “Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society…,” before launching into a standalone story.
