Are You Afraid of the Dark? - Intro

[MrKitsuneFox]

I hate that clown. It still freaks me out.

[forumchatter09]

is that clown from the intro in an episode?

[SayingGrace98]

This show is one of the many things I miss about the 90s.

[90Buscape]

When I was like 12, this scared me a lot :(

[mrcentury1000]

wayyyyy scarier than goosebumps !! i used to get so scared as a kid watching this!!! hahahaha

[madkind]

:'(

[realitymainperson]

It scared me away from the show. goosebumps & x-files did the same with their themes.

[realitymainperson]

Luigi's manison might've been partly inspired from this

[realitymainperson]

season 1 theme is much greater.

[wellybelly]

this was acctually too scary for the time of day it shit so many kids up

[iJak0b]

anyone remember the name of the show with the slimy worm and the cockroach in the diner they used to tell freaky stories?

[iloveuburr]

@iJak0b haha yup, it was called freaky stories! :) loved it.

[iJak0b]

@iloveuburr wow i loved how in my question i said the name lol thanks

[iJak0b]

couldn't watch it unless someone else was in the room with me lol

[latinoheat300]

I'm 21, but if I ever encountered any of the places shown in the intro I would run for my fucking life.

[igotlovebuglike123]

This is a children's show and was aired on nick? There are shows like these where I'm glad I was a baby. But I sometimes wish I wasn't a baby when it aired, because then I could've Hey Arnold, Kenan and Kel, and All that all day. What's weirder is that there airing this back on at around midnight. It would surely bring me nightmares!

[KortneysAccount]

@igotlovebuglike123 Trust me, this show was amazing. You missed out. Maybe if they still had these shows now there wasn't as many wimps when it comes to scary movies/haunted hayrides. I really miss these shows.

[igotlovebuglike123]

@KortneysAccount I somehow wanna watch it but I'm on a big computer where my 9 year old sister and 5 year old brother can see it. And I sneak to my mom's phone at around midnight and watching that at the middle of then night when it's dark would make it more creepier. I'll watch it when I can and I really just want to be born in the 90's.

[DeliciousAutumn]

I was so excited when I heard this melody as a kid. I thought I was weird, because all of my friends would get nervous when the show would come on, but inside I was like "YES!". They would all reach for the remote. I pretended to be freaked out so I wouldn't get picked on for liking it, but then I would leave and run home to watch it. I remember wishing that my friends were cool enough to put together our own midnight society, but my friends were a bunch of cowards.

[ItsBonnieDude]

I remember I used to force my little brother to sit through the intro, it used to scare him shitless. Kinda cruel when you look back on it.

[whatacutegirlx3]

Dude I used to watch this in the middle of the night when I was like 8 and it creeped me out. It's like 3 in the morning right now and I literally had to shut my eyes when it got to the puppet thing..

[FATTYMcFAT99]

This used the scare me a little when I was younger... I'm 20 years old and now that I've watched it again, I'm even more creeped out O__O

[hyetalian1]

Thumbs up if this intro is still creepy to you!

[999andUp]

@hyetalian1 its more spooky than creepy to me

[busterkeatonsbriefs]

had to look away until the intro was over, scared me silly.

[masterjustin45]

I tried to show my younger brother this..sadly he dosent remember the good times and was only interested in spongebob..whitch lowered my IQ watching it.

[14Justincase]

i remember this when i was a child...i always watching this show before with my elder sister...

[LALVidz]

I ain't going to lie I use to turn the lights out while watching this show and it scared the fuck out of me as a kid

[bourky93]

I always saw this show as a the mentally challenged younger brother of Goosebumps :P

[mochalola17]

This still freaks me out and I'm 21 coming 22 haha. How I miss being a kid back then haha.

[jjzgamer]

I love that bit with the match. So haunting!

[Pwesttt]

Miss bein a kid watchin this

[Malfunctioned89]

i knew i shouldnt of clicked onto here, now im fucking freaked right out :L

[ThePaulPiper]

Man I miss Are You Afraid of the Dark. That show needs 2 come back on Nickelodeon asap!

[MollyIsTheMinority14]

i always used to cover my eyes at 0:10 :L

[MegaNat1987]

Man that intro song still gives me chills and I am 24 lol

[Kaynas1988]

@MegaNat1987 I'm 23 and it still scares the living crap out me.

[vlanch816]

are you afraid of the dark and goosebumps were an epic. they still give me chills to the bones up until now. haha

[kingkong113]

born in 89 im glad to have been a kid and watch shows like goosebumps and afraid of the dark. 90s really were the golden years for cartoons and shows like these.

[LightningLazer96]

The sequence with the one swing swinging is scary as fuck.

[Lissarockchic12]

i used to watch this when i was 5! now im afraid of clowns and things that live under my bed! but the intro was the scariest part! especially the music! x

[Kaynas1988]

@Lissarockchic12 When I used to watch this, every time I saw a clown on the screen I would hide and every since then I have a huge fear of clowns and the dark

[theblackcatofchronos]

This intro scared me even more then the actual show did!

[DooMHowK]

nunca me dio miedo esto

[nwolwo]

which one was the one where they were in the woods all the time telling stories this or goosebumps which ever it was was the more scarier one

[Keiter76]

@nwolwo

That was Are You Afraid of the Dark.

[Kaynas1988]

@nwolwo It was this is one

[SlytherinBoy545]

I remember when this opening used to actually creep me out O_0

The theme song beat goosebumps, but the actual show content was rubbish compared to goosebumps.

[Kaynas1988]

OMG for some unknown reason this used to scare the living daylights out me, although I dunno why and it was thanks to an episode that featured a clown, that I got scared of them.

[alBoorack]

Start:No what am I three?

End:Yes!

[Shadowbreaker81]

This always scared the crap out of me, I'd hide under the blankets and plug my ears.

Oh god being a kid was so fun....good times...good times...

[Kaynas1988]

@Shadowbreaker81 I would hide behind anything that was close to me, my quilt, my pillow clothes

[XMilleniumProd]

0:17 holy shit im havin nightmares tonight..

[SecondhandBen]

When I was a little kid, every time this introduction would come on, I'd literally run out of the room and wait until my older brother said it was over.

[Shipoopiism]

Ah, growing up in the '90s.

The intro to this show would come on...

And I would run.

[masterjustin45]

Theres something about dark windy swings thats terrifying

[Alphilles3922]

I'm 18 and this still scares me...

[Kaynas1988]

@Alphilles3922 I'm 23 and this still scares me

[H0tguy760]

This was better than goosebumps in my opinion

[BrAxTon4Realz]

im in tears instead of the fears :( my childhood </3

[trishhbaby]

that's my childhood right there.

[trishhbaby]

this theme song has always, and continues to creep my the f**k out.

[Fettfan996]

I liked the Goosebumps theme better. It was funky!

[utube793]

Are you afraid of the dark> Freaky Stories > Eerie Indiana > Goosebumps

[nervousboy1111]

i remember this would play after goodsebumps, and as soon as it started playing i would run out of the room and hide in a closet lol

[mcurran456]

Im so happy i grew up during part of the 90's with the best tv shows and everything ;)

[WiPeZzOuTz]

no

[SadieLaurel18]

I still am afraid of the dark and im 13 -.-

[JackRabbitSlim]

@SadieLaurel18 What are you doing watching this if you're 13 years old? This was a 90's show, for 90's kids, shouldn't you be watching Hannah Montanna or something? :P

Anyway, good on ya for watching the classics from days when kids tv shows were fucking QUALITY!

[SadieLaurel18]

@JackRabbitSlim Faah Screw Hannah Montana and this show was still on TV when i went to the right channels :3

[thewintersolstice1]

@JackRabbitSlim Hey don't be so harsh on them for enjoying the good stuff

[Wendyhasachannel]

this use to scare the shit out of me.

[Kira2354]

i could never sleep right after watching an episode of this

[HeyImATalkingDog]

10 years later & this still freaks me out. I was so scared of this as a kid that whenever it came on, my mom would take me to get Donuts :)

[ChicKevin23]

When I was a kid I was fucking scared with this show. Now, I'm still fucking scared..

[shane8109]

I used to watch this on SNICK all the time! Love this show!

[ScareCrow2891]

The intro was scarier than the show itself

[CaheeraLive]

Anyone else still afraid of this? :/

[chris1974cw]

the intro scarred me the most when i was lil lol

[CrazyRainbowify]

I remember hiding under my blankets whenever the intro came on, because of that creepy little clown. I remember it was always on at 11 at night. I miss those days.

[JBommer4488]

@CrazyRainbowify Me too! : )

[ConanEdogawa89]

With a va va va ^^

[TheErs1969]

Childhood

[Kaynas1988]

this show although I loved it, scared me

[JesseAndMike]

Used to watch this show everyday! :D It was awesome!!

[TeaNZane]

This one was actually scary I would laugh at Goosebumps. I love collecting the books though.

[bloodiibunnii12]

To this day I can't be in a pool alone..or jacuzzi..I was 13 when I could finally wash my hair with my eyes closed.

[master6473]

Goosebumps's intro does have its creepiness like the G causes the woman on the billboard to stare it, or the dog's eyes to glow. This intro is really creepy, you going around outside at night not expecting anything to pop out at you. Then you go up to the attic while it's thundering outside, look around and see a clown doll. Then you see a light coming from the other side of the door and wonder "who could be up here at this time of night."

[JJayFrank]

lol, this intro still creeps me out.

[MyOldName]

I remember watching this show all the time at my grandma's. Every light on the second floor had to be on, and the adjacent bedrooms had to be shut tight, or I'd just about piss myself, sometimes.

[abela1228]

goosebumps was never really scary for me. this show terrified me as a kid :|

[NaDaShE]

Even At 18 That Clown Still Scares That Crap Outta Me

[BrutalnEpic]

This intro used to creep me the hell out

[gavquinn]

I'm sure nowadays health and safety nerds will say that this kind of show is inappropriate for kids.

[MsSarjen]

@gavquinn oh, I'm so happy I grew up during the 90's when things like this still was considered a good kids show.

[joelmarte1411]

I've been going through all the old intros/theme-songs of the shows i used to watch as a kid. I'm graduating school this year and it's saddening to think that my childhood is basically gone, but I'm happy to know that i grew up in the 90's.

[shadowhexogram]

I remember very quickily changing the channel when this show appeared.

[tcelenacuatemocatl]

this is a real show.

[XxCookiexxMistressxX]

I miss this show

[MQUEZ619]

what I didnt like about this intro was the music and the little bastard @ 0:12.

[thegamemaster5500]

Not creepy

[xlaurengemzx]

I laugh when everyone says that this show used to creep them out as a kid...

I'm almost 18 and I still get scared by this.

[SleepyDisso]

Nothing will ever beat the love I had for this show as a kid. Nothing.

[OhtheSuffering]

I've always found this intro far more creepier than the one for "Goosebumps".

[Jokerprodution]

@OhtheSuffering I do not see how you do that... It had a fucking "g" letter turning everything into scary fuckery! And the theme song was so well written, totally lived up to it's name.

I dont say this one is not creepy, but cman... Goosebumps made me piss my intestans out.

[callahaine100]

@OhtheSuffering Yeah the Goosebumps one is cool but not really scary. This one is really frightenning for kids.

[Imhighandhungry]

@OhtheSuffering really? i dunno the one from goosebumps is still freaky too me haha with that damn dog nd ladie in the billboard

[Kaynas1988]

@OhtheSuffering Same here

[rebekahm07]

THIS SHOW SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME AS A KID.

[Soul471]

Wow, i comepletely forgot until I saw this in Related videos, how much I used to watch this as a kid. Thanks for uploading, brought back some great memories :D albeit terrifying ones too!

[RagazzaIrlandese]

I used to watch this as soon as I'd do my homework but my mom was too scared! Lol.

[Fable206]

man..i used to watch this show when i was around 4-6 years old, and the only episode that truely scared the shit out of me was that frozen ghost story...this has got to be one of the creepiest intros to a show, what the hell were my parents thinking lol

[983215ljhlkadbspig6y]

This show was better than Goosebumps, for sure.

[JackRabbitSlim]

@983215ljhlkadbspig6y I loved goosebumps with a passion, but this show scared me more, oh man this was the shit back in the day, they tapped in to something few adults realise while they are trying to mollycoodle the next generation: Kids LIKE to be scared in this kinda way.

[Rubydoozie]

i used to watch this on nickalodian when i was 6 and absolutly loved it does anyone know if it is still on tv?

[slipknothim13]

0:16. Chills. Chills through out my entire body.

[SFforlife]

Not gonna lie, this scared the SHIT out of me when I was a kid....

[purpleshamrock17]

i never watched this show BECAUSE of this intro! :)

[Renesse127]

The clown scared the shit outta me :/

[diabloeb]

Anyone remember the episode where the cafeteria was putting worms in the cookies? And they were burrowing out of peoples necks? Fuck me, had trouble eating for weeks! Find me that episode, I wanna see how it compares now >:-)

[giggidygoo17]

Do they still show this on tv? And goosebumps?

[TheDeadComeBack2Life]

@giggidygoo17 My friend times have changed alot. Sadly no.

[PhoenixKing0617]

@giggidygoo17 Yeah they show they are currently showing this on TEENick as part of the 90's nick thing, but tonight is the last night for it sadly and as for goosebumps they are showing on the hub

[Poet2916]

this show=my childhood and the reason I picked up real horror books instead of Goosebumps.

[Antwood33]

@Poet2916 I totally agree, this show made Goosebumps look like "Little Bear"

[4evaiheartu]

@HappyBerry331 Yes, I finaly found out which one it was someone eles told me and i watched it already again lol Thanks for much for letting me know :-) and i love that episode too it's so cute I just felt bad for the Nanny but the ending was sweet :-)

[19STL88]

I loved watching this show on Nickelodeon when I was a youngster.. scared the crap out of me some of the stories lol

[EdTV20]

Some scary shit yo

[xCimotaxAtomicx]

Anyone remember the sandman episode?

[xCimotaxAtomicx]

@4evaiheartu.... The episode is called the lonely ghost.

[4evaiheartu]

does anyone know the episode of when theres like a dead little girl and she's haunting her sister or babysitter or something and she can't talk she's death so she writes on the walls to explain what's the matter? if anyone knows what i am talking about? Please help me!!

[HappyBerry331]

@4evaiheartu i think the episode your looking for is "the tale of the lonely ghost". i love that episode its AWSOME!!!!!!! (:

[PudgyPiglets]

AHHHHH!~!! this is worse than goosebumps!

[reedbl2]

this still scares the everliving shit out of me

[greenthumb420able]

I like how when i was a kid that intro scared the shit out of me, but i really didn't know what the show was about xD

[BassStyles]

I remember the clown who smoked cigars, the doll house one, but don't recall the short stack one? I'm reading this from the description BTW...

[Mikemugee]

Best show ever !!!!!

[PhoenixHelix]

ITS ZARDOH! NO 'MISTER' ACCENT ON THE 'DOH!'

Damn i used to LOVE this show! why they cancelled it i dont know! :D

[movienutt91]

I... HATED this show!!!!!

But, I still kept coming back to watch it... I dunno why! LOL I hated being scared then, I hate it now! But... somehow, I kept coming back to it... Huh... I do remember always (and even now) looking away when thaty clown came up... WHY IS THAT EVIL THING THERE???

Thanks for posting =)

[itsgunnabelegendary]

i cant believe i used to watch this when i was like 10 and wasnt afraid. that intro just freaked me out.

[IamKesyerSoze]

Oh, how I use to watch this and goosebumps. I still even remember that twin episodes with the mowry twins and the evil one winning in the end :)

[Sylongra]

Even though it kinda scared me as a kid, I watched it all the time. The intro was awesome and the stories were cool. I remember this show more than Goosebumps, though I used to love reading those books. :3

[xljackson]

This still gives me the goosebumps, even after all these years.

[CreeDaylen]

To the obvious question, I used to be, like who wasn't? Not any more though I'm pleased to say. I can't remember the first scary TV series I ever watched, not at the moment anyway, but this was among them!

[SONSofVENDETTA]

omg i would run to change the channel lmao

[Taste0holic]

shit still gives me the chills sooo much scarier than goosebumps

[MAAKAanimelover]

around this time a year i always get all the scary movies i own and watch them thru out the whole month. gosh i love halloween

[joijoi02]

Thumbs up

[Crystasorrow]

Thumbs up if you remember this being on Nickelodeon ;) ahh the 90s...

[DrDevilDD]

@Crystasorrow back in 2004, this was still in Nickelodeon. The 90s weren't all that great after all..

[flyingdamingo]

@MidnightSocietyTv Thanks your a star :) its been bugging me for ages lol well at least I got the right show :)

[flyingdamingo]

I grew up in the UK and I remember a completely different opening title where they are all sat round a campfire unless I have my shows muddled?

[Shadowlooker12]

@flyingdamingo Keep in mind though, some Countries do get different Intro's to the same show, although that person was correct in what they told you.

[lsufootball42]

I couldn't watch this show when it used to come on. It scared me too much.

[Veiledozify]

This show scared me soo much when I was younger, wow just watching the opening theme has freaked me out a little now. Ergh.

[Khajmer]

I just got hit with a combination of nostalgia and what I think is a PTSD flashback.

[jokernu1fan]

miss this I was young saw this on disney fuck it creeped me out

[D489]

I remember there was this one episode with a girl named "Candy" or something. The theme song to this, is so nostalgic..

[shenry686]

damn i cnt believe this show was posted. i use to watched this all the time on saturday nights as a shortie. memories!!!

[liljackass]

haha good times, getting shit scared, my little bro refused to watch this with me hhh

[HenryClearwater]

This and Goosebumps shouldnt have been watched by me, i got all my ideas from here to scare people

[carabookid]

I sweaear to god that the erie music made me afraid of the dark. I'm 33 years old and I still am.

[1Plus1EqualsThree]

[Lindathemightywitch]

Nick Nick Nik, Ni Nick Nick Nick, Nickelodeon!! ALL THE KIDS SAY!!

[macapple100]
