Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Don't know what westsideschl6 is on about, captions are there for this hard-of-hearing lady.

Of course it'll never be as good as the original, no one expected it to be, but it also doesn't need to be compared either as it sits well on its own.

The show is fun, and a pretty great homage to the original we all (well, most of us) grew up with. I can't wait for the next season!

Maybe the other reviewer wasn't a true fan, but I love that the show is back on and rebooted to watch with my 10 year old daughter. We got chills at the same time during the second episode. So disappointing to only get a teaser with 3 linked episodes. Please tell me there will be a regular series again.

I was definitely prepared for this to be a more tame version that really reduces the creepiness, but thankfully was proven wrong. Plus the characters are solid as well.

I don't know if some of these other reviewers are remembering the original through rose colored glasses or what. I absolutely loved the original as a kid and as soon as I found the dvd's on Amazon, I bought them to re-live with my kids. My kids quickly loved it too, however, I discovered a few episodes that made it apparent that I forgot just how cheesy some of them were. Now to the new. Every time I here of a re-boot or re-make I get the dreaded feeling that despite how much I want to love it, it will suck. Not the case here. Obviously you can't expect it to be identical, but I found the "creepy" level even higher than a lot of the originals! I found the cast to be likeable and the story to be on par with the better ones of the original. People also have to keep in mind, this is geared toward kids. You have to realize that they aren't setting out to be unbearably scary. For creepy entertainment that you can enjoy with your kids, it hits the nail on the head. Only downside is that it appears to be just the three episodes. Hope there are more to come!

Seth is a cute kid but annoying. Kind of ruins it for me. I loved it when i was younger and still love it. Episodes still can give me chills. Not sure what happened to the kids from tophat but i liked them and sad they just got rid of them. I hope there are lots more episodes coming!
