The Tale of the Hatching

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.

The Tale of the Full Moon

It's Bryan's turn this week to tell the 9:30 Soiciety about the ninth episode of the second season of Are You Afraid of the Dark, The Tale of the Full Moon. This one's a real doozy. Maybe it takes place in the 90s. Maybe it takes place in the 60s. Who can say? It's another tale of a young kid misunderstanding the entire situation and putting a potentially deadly plan into motion to reveal that the new neighbor in town is actually a werewolf. It's like The Tale of the Nightly Neighbors, only with werewolves this time. Is the new guy a werewolf? It's way more complicate than that and in the end it all turn out to be a metaphor for how there's all kinds of families out there and you just need to keep your mind open.

The Tale of the Whispering Walls

This week it's Dave's turn to tell the 9:30 Society about the eighth episode of the second season of Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of the Whispering Walls. This episode finds a brother and sister adrift in the wild on the way back from an ausement park with their babysitter. When the car breaks down outside of a weird house with whispering walls, brother and sister must rely on their wits to outsmart the master of the house, a weird guy whose motives are sinister but vague. There's a lot of spooky haunted house special effects, ice cream portals, and the tale of Danny Wetbutt, a kid from Bryan and Dave's childhood who was pretty cool about his terrible playground nickname.
