The Tale of the Midnight Ride

The Tale of the Midnight Ride

This week Aileen kicks off the third season of Are You Afraid of the Dark with the first episode, The Tale of the Midnight Ride. There's a major shake up at the Midnight Society as we lose both Kristen and David but we gain a new friend when Gary initiates his little brother Tucker. To commemorate the occasion, Tucker tells a terribly familiar tale. If you've ever read or seen the Disney animated short, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow then this episode you're going to easily pick up the similarities. Don't forget to listen to Bryan and Dave on Bring Me The Axe! and 99 Cent Rental, Aileen on Uy Que Horror! and Mikie on The Rewatcher!

The Tale of Old Man Corcoran

This week Bryan brings the second season to a close, telling the 9:30 Society all about the season 2 finale of Are You Afraid of the Dark, The Tale of Old Man Corcoran. In this episode, Kiki spins a tale of two new kids in the neighborhood who just want to make some new friends but the only ones available are a bunch of antagonistic locals who are obsessed with playing hide and seek in a nearby cemetery that may or may not be the haunt of an insane old groudskeeper who chops off hands with his axe.

The Tale of the Hatching

This week it's Dave's turn to tell the 9:30 Society about twelfth episode of the second season of Are You Afraid of the Dark, The Tale of The Hatching. In yet another case of Nickelodeon kids being ditched by their parents and laid upon some sinister and mysterious institution we find the rule-crazy Auggie and his incredibly cool anarachist sister Jazz left at a boarding school run seemingly by two weird adults who feed the student body a bizarre mush that they can't get enough of. By night, the student body tends to a dozens of eggs. What terrible fate awaits them when the eggs hatch? Let us tell you!

The Tale of the Magician's Assistant

This week it's Aileen's turn to tell the 9:30 Society all about the 11th episode of the second season of Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of the Magician's Assistant. In yet another Gary story about stage magic, we hear the tale of a kid who takes a part time job working for a hobo magician who is unfortunately not Sardo. The kid learns the mystic arts and spends a lot of time cleaning up this guy's trailer. When his mom falls behind on work, he resorts to forbidden magic to help her out and the episode turns into a G-rated version of Evil Dead, if you can even imagine such a thing. It'll take cunning to outwit a demon and save the day. Don't forget to listen to Bryan and Dave on Bring Me The Axe! and 99 Cent Rental, Aileen on Uy Que Horror! and Mikie on The Rewatcher!

The Tale of the Shiny Red Bicycle

This week it's Mikie's turn to tell the 9:30 Society all about the tenth episode of the second season of Are You Afraid of the Dark, The Tale of the Shiny Red Bicycle. Mike Buckley is haunted by the trauma of losing his best friend some years ago in an accident. He's surrounded by people in his life who wish that he'd just get over it, parents, teachers, adults who really ought to know better about a child in distress. Things get worse when Mike starts seeing the ghost of his friend Ricky and the mysterious reappearance of his missing bike and gets a chance at redemption when Mike's brother ends up in similar situation.
