(I'm Mistletoe Virus I'm saying I like this show!) I have nothing but love for this show. Before Goosebumps There was Are You Afraid of the Dark? a kid-friendly horror show revolving around a group of teenagers, called the Midnight Society, who sit around a campfire in the woods and tell ghost stories, and then we segued directly into each bone-chilling kid-friendly horror tale. 90s kids to horror! memorable moments to make this show very nostalgic!
