Episode 96 - The Tale of the Night Frights

We reach the halfway point of AYAOTD: Curse of the Shadows with the Tale of the Phantom Light! The lore in this episode comes hard and fast, like a natural high. Plus, we talk ghosts, lighthouses, and fake 90's heartthrobs.

Eli, David, and special guest Mallory explore episode two of Curse of the Shadows! Kids are scared, revelations are made, and pants may or may not be pooped.

The hiatus is officially over. We dive head-first into Are You Afraid of the Dark: Curse of the Shadows, as it challenges everything we know about AYAOTD! Plus, David has some big announcements.

We hath risen. In honor of 4/20, we watch Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, the classic cartoon crossover that convinced a generation that drugs were cooler than the Smurfs and Winnie the Pooh. Also featuring George H. W. Bush and a big bag of cr*ck! (Can we say that here?) We also talk about plans for our new season. Check out The Uncertain Hour and their series on Bush 41 and the war on drugs: https://www.marketplace.org/episode/2019/03/21/george-hw-bush-and-his-baggie-of-crack

We've reached the end of the Are You Afraid of the Dark revival, and with it, the end of our podcast. This week, we review Destroy All Tophats, the SHOCKING conclusion of of this new trilogy. It's batshit crazy, but can it stick the landing? Plus, we talk about Lassie and speculate on where we go from here.

This week, we take a trip to the Carnival of Doom for Part 2 of the AYAOTD revival, "Opening Night!" There are plenty of scares this week, PLUS Eli shares some OG Midnight Society backstory/slash fiction, we DEMAND a Zeebo Halloween mask, and we read off the (hopefully) final bit of Nick News.

For the first time, we review a BRAND NEW episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark! But does it manage to recapture the magic of the original? Tune in to find out! (But the answer is FUCK YEAH, it does.) www.facebook.com/youscaredofthis www.twitter.com/youscaredofthis

Well we had to review this one, right? In this bonus episode, Eli, David, and scary storyteller John Brhel review Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark! And despite it being right there in the title, for a movie aimed at middle schoolers, it is shockingly scary, violent, and...political? Plus, we make some boner jokes and wonder if this movie needed more Nixon. Support John Brhel!

After three years of waiting, Eli and David shake off the cobwebs to review the triumphant return of Rocko's Modern Life! And there's plenty to discuss, from the episode's surprisingly deep philosophy to the insane number of inside gags hidden in the special. Plus we announce our plans for rest of 2019! Thank you to everyone who has continued listening during our long, long hiatus. Facebook: www.facebook.com/youscaredofthis Twitter: www.twitter.com/youscaredofthis

In the final episode of 2018, Eli and David tackle the second half of Nickelodeon's insane, drug-induced coma of a movie, Cry Baby Lane. HOW do ghosts work in this movie? WHAT is "CHI-CHI" and why do a group of girls threaten our young male protagonist with it? And did HANS ZIMMER STEAL FROM THIS MOVIE? If you're ready to find out, click play. Thank you to everyone for your support in 2018. It was a huge year for the podcast, and we couldn't have done it without all of you. We can't say for sure when the show will return, but stay tuned to our social media pages to find out. www.facebook,com/youscaredofthis www.twitter.com/youscaredofthis (Watch Cry Baby Lane here, if you dare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcqL_Ilok3I )
