Beskrivelse

Sarah and B.J. are back…this time with villains! In one of the most iconic (and blue-goo-covered) episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark?, middle school odd couple Ethan Wood and Hooper Piccalaro find themselves face-to-face with the Ghastly Grinner—a nightmare-inducing comic book villain so terrifying he only ever appeared in a single issue. But after one ill-advised trip through a microwave (seriously, kids, don’t microwave comic books), the Grinner escapes into the real world, spreading his trademark blue slime and sinister grin wherever he goes. Along the way, Sarah and B.J. revisit their own comic book obsessions—from Captain Carrot to well, that's about it—and explore the surprisingly large overlap between Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Goosebumps. Grab your favorite back issue and listen in for “The Tale of the Ghastly Grinner.”
