Episode 99 - The Tale of the Midnight Magic (feat. Bryce Lee Wynn)

David, Eli, and friend of the show Bryce look at the penultimate episode of Curse of the Shadows! Is this the darkest episode in show history? What will become of our new Midnight Society? And who was the real fifth Beatle? All these questions and more will be answered in The Tale of the Midnight Magic!

We enter the second half of AYAOTD: Curse of the Shadows with the Tale of the Danse Macabre! Friend of the show Dr. Blair Abell-Kiser sits down with us as we check out the glow dance, a magic show, and maaaaaybe a drug deal? It's an episode that really has everything!

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.

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. Buy your own Zeebo mask! It does exist! https://www.storenvy.com/products/21265781-zeebo Check out Brett Wilson's AYAOTD art! https://www.redbubble.com/people/brettwilsonart/collections/1194726-are-you-afraid-of-the-dark www.facebook.com/youscaredofthis www.twitter.com/youscaredofthis

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!
