The Tale Of The "Are You Afraid Of The Dark?" PC Game

"I call this next story "The Tale of the Six Kids Who Went Into The Woods, Wouldn't Let Me Join Their Club, and WERE NEVER HEARD FROM AGAIN"!"

Man, that's bunk. Alex vanquishing the malevolent ghost and simultaneously freeing the trapped spirits at the cost of himself is the far superior and creepier ending, and two of them voted against you!? Bunch of fools, the lot of them!

Fun fact: Gary is now a Canadian meteorologist! It's always wild to me to watch non-Canadians who have experience with this show.

DONT BOGART THE CREAMER GARY. In all seriousness, I wanna say they made a game similar to this for Goosebumps that starred Jeff Goldblum as a Vampire

Man, that clown friggin' killed it with his solo

Holy crap, dude. That awful waffle scene from Salute Your Shorts traumatized me as a kid and it still gets in my head relatively regularly to this day (currently 37 years old). Something about them choosing a completely innocent kid to punish for something he didn't even do and him being powerless to stop it...I felt such a visceral mixture of empathy, helplessness and anger at an age when I had no idea how to describe any of these things. I thibk it singlehandedly planted the seeds of existential dread that I still live with today. Anyway. Are You Afraid of the Dark was great! Lol

I just looked at Majulaar's "Are you afraid of the Dork" for dark seed and I had to do a double take when I saw this pop up on my notification. Yes, I clicked the bell Icon.

More than anything, this video has inspired me to watch more 90's VHS rips of TV shows.

Me and the other line cooks used to throw a handful of cajun seasoning into the grill and say "submitted for the approval of the midnight steak-ciety"

I played the hell out of this game as a young kid, it was one of the many computer games sold at the Scholastic Book Fair that was a complete mystery since it wasn’t advertised on TV. My friends and I loved the large areas to explore and the FMV acting that felt like we were playing an AYAOTD episode. I even kept my old Macintosh Performa 630 CD so I’d still have the option to relive it in the future with my own kids, hopefully they’ll enjoy it just as much as I did 🤞🏻

You can use basically any white powder. Flour and coffemate work the best. In army cadets we'd get the creamers out of our rations to save for at night, then we'd run by the fire and throw it in scaring the bajeepers out of whoever was close.

The best part about "Are you afraid of the dark" vs "Goosebumps" was that 90% of the episodes(that I remember) had a lesson to learn from the horror: Don't judge folks by their appearances, have courage in the face of fear, and most importantly : DON'T BE A DICK. I both love that they made a game about this wonderfull show, and hate that we didn't get more.

Thank you for your content, this is exactly what I enjoy watching (bizarre old obscure games) and not many people find real gems and make good videos about them. You're definitely among them!

My love for nostalgia pc games, tv shows and video content all rolled into one

The show used to air on sunday morning here. Thanks for covering this, really takes me back 🤙

Played this game as a kid! And that damn basement skeleton gave me nightmares for years. Was never able to finish it until YEARS later. Such a satisfying game to play.

Some of these episodes are burned into my mind. Billy Baxter and the Phone Police? The one where Vink opens a restaurant where FEAR is the secret ingredient? The old man who robbed shipwrecks and can't go to sleep without the ghosts of the dead people he robbed coming for him? Bangers.

Both Are You Afraid Of The Dark and Goosebumps were huge in Norway and probably the rest of Scandinavia too. And a bit off topic, but MadTV was also very popular here.

Oh, man, I LOVE this show. I used to watch it all the time. ❤

The Tale if Dollmaker is one of my favorites too! I just thought being trapped in another world and being so close to being free extra terrifying.
