There were a lot of great kids show that came on in the 90s and a lot of them were on Nickelodeon. In my opinion Are You Afraid of the Dark was one of the all-time greatest shows ever for kids because it had great story telling, great prodution value that still hilds up today. The stories that were on Are You Afraid of the Dark were extreamly creepy even for a kids show, also a lot of great actors got their start on this show. So if you love a great spooky and creepy horror anthology show for kids then I recommend Are You Afraid of the Dark.

This is getting a lot of love and I really don't know why. Most of it has to be nostalgia. Or maybe it could be a cultural thing, like maybe it's the people on the coasts that really liked this show. Or maybe it could just be like a city thing, I've been living in the city for about 15 years now and people praise it. Anyway, when I was a a kid, it came out when I was about 10, and it was kind of summarized as a scary show for kids that isn't really scary. It's like the kids that showed up to school with a Goosebumps novel, and were so brutally mocked that learned never to do it again, and came back with Stephen King like everyone else. Are You Afraid of the Dark? kind of had that feel. The kinds that went to Kindercare and weren't latch-key watched it and were terrified by it. Everyone else just thought it was lame and watched Tales From the Crypt instead. Occasionally it was watched, mostly it was sampled and then ignored. But, yeah, when it first came out I remember giving it an actual chance.
