Summary
We begin our run of Halloween-themed episodes with a look back at Are You Afraid of the Dark ?- a show that absolutely terrified our hosts as children. Chris, Donna, and Carlos each chose one of their favorite episodes to rewatch and discuss.
After revisiting The Tale of the Dark Music, The Tale of the Super Specs, and The Tale of the Quiet Librarian, they close things out with a conversation about what's arguably the most popular episode of the entire series - The Tale of Laughing in the Dark.

| 0:00.0 | Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society. |
| 0:09.0 | I call this story, the tale of Hey Do You Remember, a show where we reminisce about a movie or TV series we grew up with, then take off |
| 0:38.0 | the rose-tinted glasses to see how it holds up today. I'm Chris. I'm Donna. And I'm Carlos. And today |
| 0:43.8 | we're revisiting Are You Afraid of the Dark? So I think this is going to be a lot of fun because not only is this the first installment in our run of Halloween-themed episodes, but this is also the first TV series that we've done for the show. Now, obviously, |
| 1:12.6 | this is going to be a little different from when we discuss a movie, so here's how it's going to work. |
| 1:16.7 | We're going to be talking about four episodes. We each picked one that really stuck out in our minds, |
| 1:21.4 | and we're going to take turns telling you why, and then we're going to close things out with the |
| 1:25.6 | one episode that we just had to talk about. |
| 1:28.0 | You probably already know which one it is. If Are You Afraid of the Dark, we're a rock concert, |
| 1:32.0 | it would be the big encore. So before we get into all of that, let's take a moment to share our |

| 2:00.5 | I was, you know, my friends and I were super excited with the, with the SNCC edition to our lives and watched it all the time because family matters eventually got old, them, right? |
| 2:14.5 | So, watching SNCC, loved it, loved it, loved it, and every single time, |
| 2:19.0 | Are You Afraid of the Dark would come on, and I would make it through about 10 minutes and be so terrified. |
| 2:24.4 | I had to stop. |
| 2:26.1 | I was sort of a sclerty cat as a kid, not sort of, like, absolutely, absolutely terrified of just everything as a child. |
| 2:37.0 | So most of these episodes, I really only saw probably the opening scene maybe a little bit more. |
