Goosebumps Or Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

[kentatm]

Are You Afraid Of The Dark all the way.

the one where the girl has the glasses that lets her see the weird black shaped people freaked my sh!t when I was a kid.

This brings back memories. I loved them both. My favorite Goosebumps one was the living dummy thing.

never watched the shows much but my oldest son collects goosebumps books though. i'll go w/ that one then.

Snick was a great programming block. Ren & Stimpy followed by AYAOTD.

they were both lame for me since i read a stephen king book when i was 10

Goosebumps was lame.

One episode of AYAOFD was effing scary. Some freakishly pale faceless creature was in one episode. Just a face no eyes or features. Scary stuff.

The episode of AYAOFD with the quiksilver guy and the spoon and the girl was using a metal spoon instead of a silver spoon. That one freaked me out the worse.

Man, I miss nickelodeon so much.

Good topic. I never got into the goosebumps books partly b/c I was too busy reading hardy boys and the beverly cleary books. Saw a couple of the episodes and the only one that sticks in my mind is the one where a girl buys a mask and wears it and stays on her face for life.

They were both good. I watched Goosebumps more till I got nickeloden. They used to hype up new episodes of goosebumps so much they'd put new episodes on on friday nights, then when show started to get old they put them back on sat mornings. What happened to cartoons just being on sat mornings, like new episodes, miss the 90s.

How did I miss this thread??? Best thread of the year so far.

I'm not sure how I can pick one over the other here. Theyre' both so similar, yet entirely different. I guess I would have to pick Are You Afraid.. just because it isn't so "kiddy", I guess you could say, doesn't always wrap up all nice and neat at the end of every episode. It was creepier. But I actually have fonder memories of Goosbumps. I'm torn! I liked the Goosbumps episode where the family goes to like a theme park or something, and there's a bunch of monsters there, they kidnap them, etc. Good stuff, very creepy.

Also, did anyone else really enjoy the choose your own destiny Goosbump books?

SNICK FTW!!!

Clarissa Explains It All, Pete and Pete, Ren and Stimpy, Are You Afraid... OMG, I miss my childhood. Rocko's modern life, Aaaah! Real Monsters, I could list 25 classics.

where goosebumps shone wasn't in its TV shows, it was in the books

my nose was dug into those books all throughout elementary school the show sucked though

goosebumps the books > are you afraid of the dark as a show

I'd haver to agree. I loved those goosebumps books. Used to get excited everytime a new one came out. Yea the show was totally whack. But AYAOTD was a great show growing up. Snick at night....good shyt on friday

They need to bring back this Classic Shows, and I kinda miss being a kid in the 1990's.

[picc84]

Damn, Are you Afraid was the ****. That mother****in clown in the attic in the credits was freaky as hell.

Gotta go with Are You Afraid of the Dark, one of the best Canadian-produced TV series of all time (after Danger Bay of course).
