Horror on TV: Are You Afraid of the Dark? 1.8 “The Tale of the Nightly Neighbors”

Posted on October 14, 2014 by Lisa Marie Bowman

When I first decided to devote some of October to featuring horror related TV shows, I knew that I’d have to include at least one episode of the classic Nickelodeon TV series Are You Afraid of the Dark? Back in the 90s, Are You Afraid of The Dark? was the best because it was a show about scary things but it was on Nickelodeon so you could watch it without having to worry about your mom coming in the room and making you change the channel.

This episode of Afraid of the Dark continues this sort of mini-vampire theme that we’ve got going. The Tale of the Nightly Neighbors was originally broadcast on October 3rd, 1992.

This episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? is important for two reasons.

First off, when it originally aired on April 20th, 1996, it was meant to be the series finale. It would be another 3 years before the show would start up again with a new Midnight Society sitting around the campfire and telling tales.

Secondly, and most importantly, this episode is about Irish magic!

And, as we all know, that’s the best type of magic that there is.
