Nick bringing back Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

Loved thos show when I was a kid, then they did a late 90s revival, I think, and I never totally caught up with it.

It's cool that there doing this, I guess. That little teaser looks a little too starkly serious and too jumpy cut/jump scare modern-ish, but that's to be expected. The target audience of kids who still watch Nickelodeon are not going to go for the cheesey early 90s cheap production from Canada charm that would appeal to me.

There's also a movie coming from what I understand. I'd hope that would be more of a Creepshow style anthology like the show, and less of a meta mashup like the Goosebumps movie.

I hope there's room for a show like this in the modern child's heart. In the 90s, Goosebumps culture was running rampant, and kids devoured anything spooky. I don't know if children are as receptive to mini-horror in the same way, having been immediately exposed to things as intense as "The Walking Dead" by way of their parents. In any case, as a grown 90s child, I'll be happy to give the reboot a chance.
