Midnight Society Rejects presents, "The Tale of the Fire Ghost"

Join Sarah and B.J. for a fiery new episode filled with hometown lore, haunted fire stations, an unexpected PSA reminding kids that their parents love them, and one important lesson: never trust a fire ghost. (A sentence we never expected to write.) Light a candle, kick back, and enjoy “The Tale of the Fire Ghost.”

Midnight Society Rejects presents, "The Tale of the Ghastly Grinner"

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.”

The Midnight Society Rejects presents, "The Tale of the Silent Servant"

Join Sarah and B.J. as they confess their most “illegal” activities—from claw machine heists to the occasional sub-20% tip (allegedly). Along the way, they discuss the things they hated as kids but would probably love today, wonder why no one has hired them to build a fence, and eventually arrive at the spookiest thing the ’90s had to offer: scarecrows coming to life. Listen in as they recap Are You Afraid of the Dark? episode “The Tale of the Silent Servant”!

Midnight Society Rejects presents, "The Tale of the Long Ago Locket"

Listen in as Sarah and B.J. dig through the paraphernalia of their past—from Timex watches to hemp necklaces—before recapping “The Tale of the Long Ago Locket.” Featuring Will Friedle (of Boy Meets World fame), a Revolutionary War Minuteman, unrequited love, poorly tossed Frisbees, awkward teenage kissing, and plenty of that ’90s nostalgia you've come to tolerate. Enjoy!

The Midnight Society Rejects presents, "The Tale of the Water Demons"

Join B.J. and Sarah as they discuss invasions of privacy, reveal the last person Sarah held hands with (seriously—who is Alex?), and explain why you should never, under any circumstances, mess with the dead. Especially the nautical dead. All this and more as they recap Are You Afraid of the Dark? episode “The Tale of the Water Demons.”
