Are You Afraid of the Dark?

I liked this a lot. It’s beautifully naive, like those teen horror series of books. R.L. Stine also sometimes worked on it. The most memorable episode was The Tale of the Midnight Madness, about how an old movie theater was saved by a Nosferatu-style horror film - but with an ending in which the vampire won... and then it left the silver screen. It’s got excellent ideas, clever twists, and a real genre gem here and there. (2009.02.07)
