Take a look at this long lost footage from a reboot of the kid's horror series Are You Afraid of the Dark? that never actually made it into production. Thanks to a tip from the director behind this reboot, a tiny bit of footage has appeared online. Director Jared Pelletier explains "this was shot years ago when the IP was being rebooted." He was developing this for the studio before they greenlit a "lighter version". The original Are You Afraid of the Dark? was a children's horror anthology TV series from D.J. MacHale & Ned Kandel showing on Nickelodeon. It first aired on Nickelodeon from 1992 to 1996, with another different reboot that ran from 2019 to 2022. This teaser footage is for a darker version. Pelletier says, "this version took a darker 90s approach, when shows like Goosebumps were decidedly unafraid to scare kids." Alas this is all we'll see of it for now...

Although the horror genre isn't every viewer's cup of tea, one thing is undeniable: no genre does a better job of eliciting a visceral and genuine emotional reaction from an audience. It's one thing to keep the scares coming during a two-hour movie, but it takes even more skill to keep an audience hiding behind their hands for an entire season (or more).

From the sociological shocks provided by the anthology shows of the '60s to today's more prevalent use of the limited series fright fests, many of television's best series are also its most terrifying. From vampire slayers to graciously polite serial killers with a taste for human flesh and everything in between, here are the ten best horror TV shows ever created.

Though he spent much of his career as a television writer, director, and producer, he’s had a successful second act as an author of sci-fi, fantasy, and supernatural novels. When fans of his novels put it together that he also produced all 91 episodes of the original run of the Nickelodeon classic, he started receiving an outpour of appreciation.

“Suddenly this wave of social media came to me about Are You Afraid of the Dark?,” MacHale told Den of Geek. “There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t speak to someone in some way, shape or form about [the show].”

Let me kick this off by saying that I'm a massive fan of Nickelodeon's 90's kid-horror anthology series Are You Afraid of the Dark?. I own every episode on DVD (come on Blu-ray collection!) and, yes, I can hand over some choice episode recommends (see below). And it's armed with this love of all things The Midnight Society, that one of the upcoming horror movies that I'm looking forward to the most is Paramount's big-budget feature film adaptation.

And today we have word that the upcoming film has snagged its director in the form of D.J. Caruso. Caruso is best known for helming such films as xXx: Return of Xander Cage, I Am Number Four, Eagle Eye, and The Salton Sea. But don't let that deter you from being excited about the man's possible involvement with this upcoming kid-horror movie. Caruso also has films like Disturbia and Taking Lives under his belt.

Paramount is in talks with “xXx: The Return of Xander Cage” director D.J. Caruso to take the reins of its movie adaptation of the Nickelodeon horror series “Are You Afraid of the Dark?”

The project was unveiled last year with “It” writer Gary Dauberman hired to write the script. Matt Kaplan is producing along with Dauberman, who’s a co-writer on both “It” movies, and “The Conjuring” and “Annabelle” franchises.

“Are You Afraid of the Dark?” was created by D.J. MacHale and Ned Kandel and ran as an anthology series on Nickelodeon between 1992 and 1996. It followed a group of teenagers who called themselves the Midnight Society and would meet weekly at a secret location in the woods to tell a scary story.

The creepy television series Are You Afraid of the Dark? has found its way online. Every episode is now at your fingertips. This was brought to "the Internet's" attention via a Reddit user who has created a guide for all of you. You can get started by clicking here.

The show was a series produced in Canada by D.J. MacHale and Ned Kandel. Nickelodeon picked it up in the early '90s and brought it to the U.S. Now, because this was a series presented to a generation of horror fans before my time, I'll refer to the Wikipedia description of the show. But, before I do, I wanted to give you the heads-up that The Cinefamily in Los Angeles (if you happen to live in the area) is doing an Are You Afraid of the Dark? tribute on October 23rd.
